In light of the complexity of the human-environment system, more interdisciplinary analyses from geographical, environmental, and social sciences are needed. Using qualitative and quantitative methods from social, environmental, and geographical sciences, this study conducted a geographical regionalization and a comparative analysis of rural livelihoods in different zones in the Loess Plateau to explore the relationship between rural livelihoods and the environment. The results indicated that rural livelihoods are tightly coupled with the environment on a village scale, showing significant geographical regularity and spatial disparity. A combination of geographical location, resource endowment, and environmental sanitation affects rural livelihoods in terms of spatial patterns, development capacity, and quality of life in the context of the public ownership system, the utilization policy of land resources, and limited technical conditions. Coupling the relationship between rural livelihoods and a given environment on a village scale tends to lead to one of four types of relationships: ``homeostatic{''}, ``intense{''}, ``transferred{''}, or ``optimized{''}. Accordingly, governments and policymakers need to consider that countryside revitalization must be locally tailored and implemented through the four aspects of ``rights revitalization{''}, ``labor revitalization{''}, ``industrial revitalization{''}, and ``environmental revitalization{''}.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Li, B (Corresponding Author), Beijing Normal Univ, Sch Nat Resources, Fac Geog Sci, Beijing 100875, Peoples R China.

Our study employed data from 11 particular years, during which the survey included items measuring respondents' heavy drinking. Our final sample numbered 10,171 respondents, which generated 75,394 person-waves for data analysis. Both of our hypotheses were supported by results from multilevel mixed-effects linear regression capturing the time-varying nature of three employment disadvantages and of the heavy-drinking outcome. Results show that more-frequent heavy drinking was associated with employment disadvantages, and that disadvantages' effects on drinking were stronger for Blacks and Hispanics than for Whites. That worsening employment disadvantages have worse effects on minority groups' heavy drinking (compared to Whites) probably contributes to the racial health disparities in our nation.

Some have warned that climate change, in conjunction with urbanization, could drive the proliferation of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. In Colombia dengue has been endemic since the 1990s and the country had the highest number of cases of zika virus in the world after Brazil. Studies have found that domestic stored water contributes to high percentages of the total Ae. aegypti pupal population in Colombian urban sectors. In particular, neighborhoods where water service provision is intermittent are vulnerable to mosquito-borne diseases as water is stored inside households. This article draws on archival work, interviews, and entomological literature to reflect on the ways in which rapid urbanization in the context of armed conflict, infrastructural inequality, the absence of formal jobs, and specific water laws and regulations produce water and Aedes aegypti in the city. It offers an initial attempt to theorize water with larvae by focusing on two interrelated processes. First, the historical and geographic processes that underlie the production of stored water, which despite being treated can become a place of fertility where mosquitoes can flourish. Secondly, the processes by which water, mosquitoes, pathogens, and human bodies become interrelated.

Yet, evidence indicates that these policies generally have stronger effects on women's preferences and behaviors than men's. In this article, we draw on survey-experimental data to examine how young, unmarried men's gender ideologies and perceptions of normative masculinity may moderate the effect of supportive work-family policy interventions on their preferences for structuring their future work and family life. Specifically, we examine whether men's prescriptive beliefs about what work-family arrangements most people ought to prefer and whether men's descriptive beliefs about what work-family arrangements most of their male peers actually do prefer influence their responses to supportive policies. Our analysis shows that men's responses to supportive work-family policy interventions are highly dependent upon their beliefs about what their male peers actually want, rather than on their beliefs about what others should want. Specifically, men who believe that their male peers ideally want gender-egalitarian or counternormative relationships are themselves more likely to prefer a progressive relationship structure when supportive work-family policies are in place.

Certain areas, such as the country of Paraguay, are at a higher risk for trafficking due to unique economic, cultural, and geographic factors. Thousands of people, especially children, are trafficked within Paraguay's borders, and many eventually are transported to neighboring countries and sometimes to Europe and elsewhere. Using case study methodology and ``city{''} as the unit of study, researchers interviewed 18 key anti-trafficking stakeholders from government and nongovernmental organizations in two major metropolitan centers for trafficking in Paraguay, Asuncion, and Encarnacion. Through semistructured interviews, this qualitative study examines risk factors for trafficking, health outcomes, interventions needed within the health care sector, and programs needed to combat trafficking. We identified risk factors including poverty, marginalization of indigenous people, gender inequality, domestic servitude of children (criadazgo), and political hesitance to enact protective legislation. Victims of trafficking were reported to suffer from physical injuries, unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, and mental health issues such as depression and posttraumatic stress disorder. These predispose victims to difficulties reintegrating into their communities and ultimately to retrafficking. A major gap was identified in the lack of sufficient lodging and rehabilitation services for rescued victims, affordable access to trauma-sensitive health care for victims, and scarce mental health services. Many of the findings are applicable across the world and may be of use to guide future anti-trafficking efforts in Paraguay and beyond.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Stanford, K (Corresponding Author), Univ Chicago, Dept Med, Sect Emergency Med, 5841 S Maryland Ave, Chicago, IL 60637 USA.

Using this policy experiment, we address the endogeneity of pension income by applying a fixed-effect model with instrumental variable correction. The results reveal that pension enrollment and income from the NRPS both have had a significant beneficial impact on objective measures of physical health and cognitive function of the rural elderly. Pension recipients respond to the newly acquired pension income in multiple ways: improved nutrition intake, better accessibility to health care, increased informal care, increased leisure activities, and better self-perceived relative economic situation. These in turn act as channels from pension income to health outcomes of the Chinese rural elderly.

Particularly in a context of declining public assistance, the unprecedented imprisonment rate may place additional stress on nonmarital children if a substantial portion of their fathers are incarcerated and therefore unable to provide support. Research on this topic has been impeded by methodological difficulties, such as the lack of representative data on nonmarital children's fathers, and inaccurate or insufficient information on fathers' incarceration. Using unique combined administrative data sets from Wisconsin that largely overcome these methodological obstacles, I provide improved estimates of paternal imprisonment risk among young nonmarital children. I distinguish between point-in-time and cumulative risks and assess the length of paternal imprisonment, first considering only biological fathers and then also including the mothers' other partners. I also estimate the risks separately by socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. Results suggest that nonmarital children face a high risk of paternal imprisonment, a substantial proportion also face an elevated risk of lengthy paternal imprisonment, and the racial disparity in risk is significant.

These hazards may play a role in creating and sustaining occupational health disparities by socioeconomic position, gender, race, ethnicity, and immigration status. Methods A conceptual model was developed to guide the review of 103 relevant articles or chapters on the role of work organization and occupational health disparities identified through a comprehensive search conducted by NIOSH. A second review was conducted of employment and workplace policies and programs designed to reduce the health and safety risks due to job insecurity and other work organization hazards. Results There is consistent evidence that workers in lower socioeconomic or social class positions are exposed to greater job insecurity and other work organization hazards than workers in higher socioeconomic positions. Likewise, racial and ethnic minorities and immigrants are exposed to greater job insecurity. Limited research examining the effects of interventions targeting work organization hazards on disparities has been conducted; nonetheless, intervention strategies are available and evidence suggests they are effective. Conclusions Job insecurity and work organization hazards play a role in creating and sustaining occupational health disparities. Employment and workplace policies and programs have the potential to reduce these hazards, and to reduce disparities. Am. J. Ind. Med. 57:495-515, 2014.

In response to the challenges of ageing populations, almost all countries have adopted reform measures to secure the increasing resource needs for care, to ensure care services by different providers, to regulate the quality of services, and overall to recalibrate the work-life balance for men and women. These reforms are embedded in different family ideals of intergenerational ties and dependencies, divisions of responsibilities between state, market, family, and community actors, and backed by wider societal support to families to care for their elderly and disabled members. This article disentangles the different components of the notion of `(de)familialization' which has become a crucial concept of care scholarship. We use a fuzzy-set ideal type analysis to investigate care policies and work-family reconciliation policies shaping long-term care regimes. We are making steps to reveal aggregate gender equality impacts of intermingling policy dynamics and also to relate the analysis to migrant care work effects. The results are explained in a four-pronged ideal type scheme to which European countries belong. While only Nordic and some West European continental countries are close to the double earner, supported carer ideal type, positive outliers prove that transformative gender relations in care can be construed not only in the richest and most generous welfare countries in Europe.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Bartha, A (Corresponding Author), Hungarian Acad Sci, Ctr Social Sci, Ctr Excellence, H-1097 Budapest, Hungary.

This paper describes the outcomes of our study on the estimation of gender wage gap in the Indian labour market, using the 68th Round NSSO employment-unemployment data. The study uses Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition technique and Heckman two-step methodology, for removal of selectivity bias in the sample data, to measure the components of total gender wage gap, viz. (1) occupational segregation (explained by economic rationale) and (2) direct discrimination (not explained by economic rationale). The analysis indicates that the maximum direct discrimination is for job-related factors, such as industry type which are controlled by employers. The majority of the Indian employers today are men, which may be the reason for the insensitivity to the chronic direct discrimination against women in workplaces. The study also indicates that most of the explained gender wage gap is due to lower skill and experience amongst women.

The labor market is increasingly characterized by flexible, atypical forms of labor organization. In the context of conventional definitions of standard workplace and working time, established in the work practice of the 20th century, we analyze forms of work that can still be considered atypical organization of work given its representation in the total employed population. Much emphasis in previous research on the organization of work and working time has been placed on social acceptability from the perspective of the organization of work and private (family) life. Research on this issue in Croatia is scarce and this paper is therefore of an exploratory nature. The research is based on the Labor Force Survey at the individual level (microdata). Data from the Labor Force Survey allow us to research some of the forms of work and working hours, primarily weekend work, night work and work from home. The aim of this paper is to explore the demographic characteristics of respondents who participate in any of these work schemes and schedules. The main findings of the paper are: Employees who always work on Sundays are dominated by workers over the age of 40, with a relatively higher proportion of women; part-time work in Croatia is poorly represented among employees; the presence of part time work among employees is the result of a lack of full time jobs rather than the flexibility of employers; significantly higher prevalence of night work in men, which increases with age.

DE was used to assess this community's stroke systems across the care continuum through process mapping with Model Hospital staff and through key stakeholder interviews with Model Hospital and emergency medical services staff, patients, and caregivers. Process mapping identified how patients and health care data flow through the system of care and highlighted areas where streamlining could improve the movement of patients and data across the care continuum. Interviews with stakeholders unveiled challenges and successes about how patient data are accessed and shared across the care continuum, and ideas for improving systems to be more efficient and supportive of stroke prevention and patient outcomes.

The results yield unconditional impacts of education at different points of the wage distribution and, therefore, are more informative from a policy perspective than both traditional regression and quantile regression methods commonly used for estimating educational returns. We use a nationally representative dataset on labor markets in India, collected in 2005-2006. The results reveal significant heterogeneity in education's effects along the wage distribution and striking differences in these patterns by gender: the effect of primary education is found to be significantly higher for women than men in the middle of the wage distribution; while the effect of post primary education exhibits a distinct pattern whereby women get significantly higher rewards than men above the median and significantly lower rewards than men below the median. These findings have direct implications for the targeting of education policies that seek to reduce gender wage inequality. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Individuals with disabilities are self-employed at higher rates than individuals without disabilities, mainly because self-employment circumnavigates many of the commonly experienced barriers individuals with disabilities face when pursuing more typical employment situations. Still, little is known about factors that impact successful self-employment outcomes. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to identify factors that facilitate or hinder self-employment outcomes for individuals with cognitive and physical disabilities. METHOD: A scoping review of the empirical literature was conducted to examine individual/system level, programmatic, and key themes within lived experiences that affect self-employment outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 40 articles were included in the final sample representing both national and international research efforts. Findings indicated that a multitude of factors affect self-employment outcomes including demographics (e.g., gender, race, age, disability), social network, financial standing and work history, personal motivation, interagency collaboration, services provided (e.g., business plan development and mentorship), and barriers (e.g., lack of training and services). CONCLUSION: There are a number of known variables that promote self-employment outcomes.

For more than two decades, the 1.13 million people it displaced have been rebuilding their livelihoods. To assist, the Chinese government used policy and incentives to stimulate the local economy. Whether the resettlers benefited from such initiatives is not yet understood. This paper offers the first longitudinal analysis of the resettlers' livelihoods. The study follows up with 521 households that participated in a survey in 2003. The initial survey, conducted within five years of their displacement, found that despite improvements to infrastructure and housing, incomes generally declined, livelihoods were dismantled, and permanent employment was replaced by more temporary employment. Resettlers were struggling to meet even their basic needs. However, eight years on from the original survey, this study finds the gains to be substantial. Within the sample groups, income inequality has declined, food is more secure and wellbeing is improved on 2003 levels. What is more, incomes have generally grown and are positively correlated to employment in an enterprise. It appears that the Chinese government's resolve to stimulate the regional economy and to turn the crank on enterprise investment has paid off in this region of the Three Gorges Dam.

Over the past decade, despite novel diagnostics and therapeutics, together with changes in the cancer care delivery system such as passage of the Affordable Care Act, cancer disparities persist.

One group that can provide insight into the use of existing resources is the professionals who have undertaken gender equality work in their organisation. Methods Purposive sampling was used to identify informants with experience undertaking gender equality work. A sample of 12 informants was recruited from five employment sectors: five informants from the women('s health sector; two from other organisations in the health sector; three from local government; and one each from manufacturing and education. One in-depth semi-structured interview was conducted with each informant. Interview transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis. Results Four themes emerged from data analysis: ``Organisational Context,{''} ``Legitimising Gender Equality Work,{''} ``Demystifying Gender Equality{''} and ``Embedding Gender Equality into the Workplace.{''} Mechanisms such as drawing on the evidence base, developing internal communications strategies, establishing a working group, undertaking training, conducting an audit, and reviewing policies and procedures were used to embed gender-based considerations into the workplace. A range of resources to underpin most of these approaches was discussed by informants. Conclusions Informants had a sound understanding of approaches they could use to address existing gender inequality; however, they did not always utilise existing resources to support them to undertake their chosen approach.

This paper investigates how male and female academics perceive the need for gender-related changes to support academic women's career advancement in China. Drawing on 40 interviews with male and female academics at a leading Chinese research university, this paper finds that attitudes among male academics were overwhelmingly negative toward the necessity for gender-related changes, whereas the female academics' responses varied. Two underlying issues cause the relatively similar degrees of unwillingness of men and women to make gender-related policy changes at universities. First, these academics had a strong belief in merit-based rules for promotion, which embedded gender blindness in the name of `fairness'. Second, the power of individual choice was the determining factor for women's career progression, although both men and women acknowledged that their traditional cultural beliefs were rooted in processes and practices that systematically disadvantaged women. The findings expose academics' low expectations for the successful creation or implementation of institutional policies that support academic women's career development, considering that male academics did not support gender-related changes, and female academics were not united in their perspectives. In addition, socio-cultural norms were a critical obstacle. The findings suggest that the successful implementation of any gender policies must meet two conditions: they should stress equal opportunities for both sexes and should not jeopardize the perceived `fair' meritocracy in academia.}, Type = {Article; Early Access}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Horta, H (Corresponding Author), Univ Hong Kong, Fac Educ, Social Contexts \& Pol Educ, Hong Kong, Peoples R China.

This study argues that states are pressured to improve the protection of these rights by enacting gender parity-promoting policies in response to similar policy choices by their economic competitors, resulting in a specific type of policy interdependence-the upward policy convergence. Additionally, this convergence should be stronger in laws than in practices because some states continue to benefit from women-suppressing policies, and because improving laws is less costly than improving policy implementation. Using newly coded global data from 1999 to 2009 on women's economic rights that distinguish between laws and practices, spatial econometrical analyses support these conjectures. Essentially, this study shows that the race to the bottom is not the sole consequence of globalization, a climb to the top is possible as well when we look closer and more carefully.

Components of different integrated BH models are often combined in practice. It is unknown which components distinguish developing versus established integrated BH programs. Method: A survey was mailed to 128 CHCs in 10 Midwestern states in 2016. Generalized estimating equation models were used to assess associations between program characteristics and stage of integration implementation (precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, or maintenance). Content analysis of open-ended responses identified integration barriers. Results: Response rate was 60\% (N = 77). Most CHCs had colocated BH and primary care services, warm hand-offs from primary care to BH clinicians, shared scheduling and electronic health record (EHR) systems, and depression and substance use disorder screening. Thirty-two CHCs (42\%) indicated they had completed integration and were focused on quality improvement (maintenance). Being in the maintenance stage was associated with having a psychologist on staff (odds ratio {[}OR] = 7.16, 95\% confidence interval {[}CI] {[}2.76, 18.55]), a system for tracking referrals (OR = 3.42, 95\% CI {[}1.03, 11.36]), a registry (OR = 2.71, 95\% CI {[}1.86, 3.94]), PCMH designation (OR = 2.82, 95\% CI {[}1.48, 5.37]), and a lower proportion of Black/African American patients (OR = .82, 95\% CI {[}.75, .89]). The most common barriers to integration were difficulty recruiting and retaining BH clinicians and inadequate reimbursement. Discussion: CHCs have implemented many foundational components of integrated BH. Future work should address barriers to integration and racial disparities in access to integrated BH. Public Significance Statement Community health centers have implemented many aspects of integrated behavioral health, including colocated behavioral health and primary care services, shared scheduling and electronic health record (EHR) systems, warm hand-offs from primary care to behavioral health clinicians, brief interventions and short-term therapy, and systematic screening for depression and substance use disorder.

Maternal care is affected by socioeconomic factors. This study analyses the effect of maternal education, employment and citizenship on some antenatal and postnatal care indicators in Italy. Methods.

Logistic models were applied and interactions among independent variables were explored. Results. Education and employment status affect antenatal and postnatal care indicators and migrant women are less likely to make use of health opportunities. Low education status exacerbates the initial social disadvantage of migrants. Migrant women are also more affected by socioeconomic pressure to restart working early, with negative impact on postnatal care. Conclusion.

We framed our enquiry according to the three social structures of the Theory of Gender and Power: the sexual division of labour, the sexual division of power, and social norms and affective attachments around femininity and masculinity. Young adults drew on interrelated and competing narratives to describe the state of gender relations, which we named tradition, unity, and rights. Participants used tradition narratives most frequently to describe patriarchal gender roles, norms and ideals. Some participants challenged this predominant discourse using unity and rights narratives. Unity narratives illustrated how love and couple reciprocity were essential sources of ?power with? as opposed to ?power over?. Rights narratives were more contested than other narratives, with some participants acknowledging that women?s rights were important to the family?s survival and others viewing women?s rights as problematic for gender relations. Gender-responsive interventions should consider the tensions and intersections between multiple narratives on gender and power, including unity as a gender-equitable form of power.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Conroy, AA (Corresponding Author), Univ Calif San Francisco, Ctr AIDS Prevent Studies, San Francisco, CA 94143 USA.

This study aimed to understand the influence of parental leave and child-rearing on career advancement in hepatology.Methods: A cross-sectional survey of physician members of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) was distributed through email listserv in January 2021. The 33-item survey included demographic questions, questions about bias, altering training, career plans, family planning, parental leave, and work accommodations.Results: Among 199 US physician respondents, 65.3\% were women, and 83.4\% (n = 166) were attendings. Sex and racial differences were reported in several domains, including paid leave, perceptions of bias, and child-rearing. Most women (79.3\%) took fewer than the recommended 12 paid weeks of parental leave for their first child (average paid leave 7.5 wk for women and 1.7 for men). A majority (75.2\%) of women reported workplace discrimination, including 83.3\% of Black and 62.5\% of Hispanic women. Twenty percent of women were asked about their/their partners' pregnancy intentions or child-rearing plans during interviews for training. Women were more likely to alter career plans due to child-rearing (30.0\% vs. 15.9\%, p = 0.030). Women were also more likely to delay having children than men (69.5\% vs.35.9\%).Conclusions: Women reported sex and maternity bias in the workplace and during training interviews, which was more frequently experienced by Black and Hispanic women.

Yet research suggests that this ``work-family narrative{''} is incomplete: men also experience it and nevertheless advance; moreover, organizations' effort to mitigate it through flexible work policies has not improved women's advancement prospects and often hurts them. Hence this presumed remedy has the perverse effect of perpetuating the problem. Drawing on a case study of a professional service firm, we develop a multilevel theory to explain why organizations are caught in this conundrum. We present data suggesting that the work-family explanation has become a ``hegemonic narrative{''}-a pervasive, status-quo-preserving story that prevails despite countervailing evidence. We then advance systems-psychodynamic theory to show how organizations use this narrative and attendant policies and practices as an unconscious ``social defense{''} to help employees fend off anxieties raised by a 24/7 work culture and to protect organizationally powerful groups-in our case, men and the firm's leaders-and in so doing, sustain workplace inequality. Due to the social defense, two orthodoxies remain unchallenged-the necessity of long work hours and the inescapability of women's stalled advancement. The result is that women's thin representation at senior levels remains in place. We conclude by highlighting contributions to work-family, workplace inequality, and systems-psychodynamic theory.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Padavic, I (Corresponding Author), Florida State Univ, Sociol, 526 Bellamy Bldg,113 Collegiate Loop, Tallahassee, FL 32306 USA.

Alongside these, it examines the role of financialization over the last 30 years in fostering the nuturalization of policies that institutionalize low wages and deregulate the economy in favour of big business. Design/methodology/approach - This paper draws upon academic literature, official statistics, and analyses via the concept of neoliberalism. Findings - This paper demonstrates that via a set of interconnected macro and micro factors low pay is set to remain entrenched in the UK. It has demonstrated that this is not the result of some natural response to labour market demands. Far from it, it has argued that these policy choices are neoliberal in motivation and the outcome of establishing low pay and insecure employment is a significant character of the contemporary labour market is deliberate. Research limitations/implications - This paper encourages a re-think of how the authors address this issue of low pay in the UK by highlighting alternative forms of understanding the causes of low pay. Practical implications - It presents an alternative analysis of low pay in the UK which allows us to understand and call into question the low-pay economy. In doing so it demonstrates that crucial to this understanding is state regulation. Social implications - This paper allows for a more nuanced understanding of the economic conditions of the inequality caused by low pay, and provides an argument as to alternative ways in which this can be addressed. Originality/value - The paper examines the relationship between the rise of neoliberalism and finance capital, the subsequent emergence of the neoliberal organization, the associated proliferation of ALMP and ZHCs, and the impact of these on creating a low-wage economy. It makes the argument that the UK's low-wage economy is the result of regulatory choices influenced by a political preference for financialization, even if such choices are presented as not being so. Thus, the contribution of this paper is that it brings together distinct and important contemporary issues for scholars of employee relations, but connects them to the role of the state and neoliberal regulation.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Grady, J (Corresponding Author), Univ Leicester, Sch Management, Leicester, Leics, England.

Just as the lives of women and men change, labor market and family relations change. The entry of women into the labor market of the late 20th and early 21st century has been significantly affected by the global economy and marked the beginning of the process of feminisation of work around the globe. However, the influence of women in the public sphere of work has not resulted in the socio-economic equality between the two gender groups, men and women. Different authors suggest that gender division of labor is the main mechanism for the maintenance of patriarchal capitalism, which supports the devaluation and marginalization of women workers, in private and public spheres. The text points out the importance of ``gendered{''} work, especially of women, the influence of traditional gender roles in the family on maintaining gender inequality at work, and the unpreparedness and inadequacy of the global labor market to needs and interests of women as a gender group. Women's work is characterized by gender-sensitive participation in the workplace, they receive lower wages, face gender-segregation and feminization of poverty, while they are expected to meet the demands of family life to the full extent. Women, unlike men, have to make their reproductive decisions and the results of those choices have different implications on their personal lives and professional arrangements. Therefore, the main problems of unequal gender power position on the labor market and the harmonization of work, gender and family functions are still not satisfactorily resolved, and the feminization of the labor market in the existing framework of patriarchal capitalism does not satisfactorily contribute to the elimination of inequalities between men and women in the society.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Croatian}, Affiliation = {Galic, B (Corresponding Author), Univ Zagreb, Filozofski Fak, HR-10002 Zagreb, Croatia.

An important study examining misreporting of voter turnout in opinion surveys, however, calls into question the true extent of participation inequality. Ansolabehere and Hersh's first-ever 50-state vote validation project shows that those with more political resources are more likely to misreport turnout. That is, those with higher incomes are more likely than others to report that they had voted when in fact they did not. These findings suggest that income disparities in participation are not as large as opinion surveys have led us to believe. Moreover, studies using differences between voters and nonvoters as a key political indicator may also be biased. This article presents the first assessment of whether vote misreporting creates systematic bias in measures of state participation inequality. An index of economic inequality in participation for the 50 states is developed using the Ansolabehere and Hersh validated vote data and compares the measure of political inequality with a similar measure using traditional (i.e., nonvalidated) survey data. These state indices are used to determine the extent of bias produced by misreporting and whether this bias has implications for studies using these measures of participation inequality. The latter is assessed by examining the influence of the self-reported and validated inequality measures on state welfare programs and minimum wage policy.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Franko, WW (Corresponding Author), Auburn Univ, Haley Ctr 7080, Auburn, AL 36849 USA.

Thus, analysis of trends of socio-economic, demographic, cultural and geographical inequities is imperative to provide a holistic explanation for differences in availability, quality and utilization of antenatal care. We, therefore, investigated the trends in inequalities in four or more antenatal care visits in Ghana, from 1998 to 2014. Methods We used the World Health Organization's (WHO) Health Equity Assessment Toolkit (HEAT) software to analyse data from the 1998 to 2014 Ghana Demographic and Health Surveys. We disaggregated four or more antenatal care visits by four equality stratifiers: economic status, level of education, place of residence, and sub-national region. We measured inequality through summary measures: Difference, Population Attributable Risk (PAR), Ratio, and Population Attributable Fraction (PAF). A 95\% uncertainty interval (UI) was constructed for point estimates to measure statistical significance. Results The Difference measure of 21.7\% (95\% UI; 15.2-28.2) and the PAF measure of 12.4\% (95\% UI 9.6-15.2) indicated significant absolute and relative economic-related disparities in four or more antenatal care visits favouring women in the highest wealth quintile. In the 2014 survey, the Difference measure of 13.1\% (95\% UI 8.2-19.1) and PAF of 6.5\% (95\% UI 4.2-8.7) indicate wide disparities in four or more antenatal care visits across education subgroups disfavouring non-educated women. The Difference measure of 9.3\% (95\% UI 5.8-12.9) and PAF of 5.8\% (95\% UI 4.7-6.8) suggest considerable relative and absolute urban-rural disparities in four or more antenatal care visits disfavouring rural women. The Difference measure of 20.6\% (95\% UI 8.8-32.2) and PAF of 7.1\% (95\% UI 2.9-11.4) in the 2014 survey show significant absolute and relative regional inequality in four or more antenatal care visits, with significantly higher coverage among regions like Ashanti, compared to the Northern region. Conclusions We found a disproportionately lower uptake of four or more antenatal care visits among women who were poor, uneducated and living in rural areas and the Northern region. There is a need for policymakers to design interventions that will enable disadvantaged subpopulations to benefit from four or more antenatal care visits to meet the Sustainable Development Goal 3.1 that aims to reduce the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) to less than 70/100, 000 live births by 2030.

However, there are few insights into how these disadvantages of foreign training can be effectively countered. To improve skilled immigrants' access to positions commensurate with their foreign qualifications, several countries have introduced policies to officially recognize foreign educational credentials. In this study, we examine the extent to which having recognized foreign credentials improves immigrants' chances of being hired. To identify the causal effect of foreign credential recognition on immigrants' chances of accessing adequate jobs, we focus on employers' hiring decisions. Using vignettes, we simulate a hiring process and show randomized profiles of applicants to employers who then rate how likely they are to invite the applicants to a job interview. Our central finding is that having recognized foreign credentials considerably narrows but does not completely close the gap in the hiring chances between foreign- and native-trained applicants. Moreover, we find that the extent to which applicants benefit from foreign credential recognition varies with their occupational experience but not with the quality of the educational system in which they were trained. We conclude that whereas foreign credential recognition is a promising tool to highlight immigrants' skill potential and reduce the disadvantages of the foreign-trained in the labor market, it hardly harmonizes the hiring chances of native- and foreign-trained applicants.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Damelang, A (Corresponding Author), Friedrich Alexander Univ Erlangen Nurnberg FAU, Sch Business Econ \& Soc Sociol \& Empir Res Method, Findelgasse 7-9, D-90402 Nurnberg, Germany.

CRC incidence and mortality can be reduced through screening.

In this commentary focusing on underserved populations, we highlight the public health impact of CRC screening, list key challenges to screening the underserved, and review promising approaches to boost screening rates. We identify four key policy and research priorities to increase screening among underserved populations: 1) actively promote the message, ``the best test is the one that gets done{''}; 2) develop and implement methods to identify unscreened individuals within underserved population groups for screening interventions; 3) develop and implement approaches for organized screening delivery; and 4) fund and enhance programs and policies that provide access to screening, diagnostic follow-up, and CRC treatment for underserved populations.

Methods In the Carolina Breast Cancer Study, 1646 employed women with primary breast cancer were longitudinally evaluated for post-diagnosis job loss and overall well-being. Work status was classified as ``sustained work,{''} ``returned to work,{''} ``job loss,{''} or ``persistent non-employment.{''} Well-being was assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT-G) instrument. Analysis of covariance was used to evaluate the association between work status and well-being (physical, functional, social, and emotional). Results At 25 months post-diagnosis, 882 (53.6\%) reported ``sustained work,{''} 330 (20.1\%) ``returned to work,{''} 162 (9.8\%) ``job loss,{''} and 272 (16.5\%) ``persistent non-employment.{''} Nearly half of the study sample (46.4\%) experienced interruptions in work during 2 years post-diagnosis. Relative to baseline (5-month FACT-G), women who sustained work or returned to work had higher increases in all well-being domains than women with job loss and persistent non-employment. Job loss was more common among Black than White women (adjusted odds ratio = 3.44; 95\% confidence interval 2.37-4.99) and was associated with service/laborer job types, lower education and income, later stage at diagnosis, longer treatment duration, and non-private health insurance. However, independent of clinical factors, job loss was associated with lower well-being in multiple domains. Conclusions Work status is commonly disrupted in breast cancer survivors, but sustained work is associated with well-being. Interventions to support women's continued employment after diagnosis are an important dimension of breast cancer survivorship. Implications for Cancer Survivors Our findings indicate that work continuation and returning to work may be a useful measure for a range of wellbeing concerns, particularly among Black breast cancer survivors who experience greater job loss.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Emerson, MA (Corresponding Author), Univ N Carolina, Lineberger Comprehens Canc Ctr, Chapel Hill, NC 27515 USA.

Yet, most research has focused on how trade policy affects wages by altering the economy-wide returns to a specific worker characteristic (i.e., skill or education) rather than through worker industry affiliation. This paper exploits drastic trade liberalizations in Colombia in the 1980s and 1990s to investigate the relationship between protection and industry wage premiums. We relate wage premiums to trade policy in an empirical framework that accounts for the political economy of trade protection. Accounting for time-invariant political economy factors is critical. When we do not control for unobserved time-invariant industry characteristics, we find that workers in protected sectors earn less than workers with similar observable characteristics in unprotected sectors. Allowing for industry fixed effects reverses the result: trade protection increases relative wages. This positive relationship persists when we instrument for tariff changes. Our results are in line with short-and medium-ran models of trade where labor is immobile across sectors or, alternatively, with the existence of industry rents that are reduced by trade liberalization. In the context of the current debate on the rising income inequality in developing countries, our findings point to a source of disparity beyond the well-documented rise in the economy-wide skill premium: because tariff reductions were proportionately larger in sectors employing a high fraction of less-skilled workers, the decrease in the wage premiums in these sectors affected such workers disproportionately.

The controversy mainly arises from the imprecise way by which enclave participation is measured and from the difference in performance between entrepreneurs and workers. This study uses data from the 2006 Census of Canada to examine how Chinese immigrants who participate in the mainstream economy and enclave economy differ in earnings. Using ``the language used most often at work{''} to determine enclave participation, the study finds that actual and net earnings of Chinese immigrants in the enclave are lower than those of their counterparts in the mainstream economy. However, when the interaction between human capital and enclave participation is considered, human capital brings a net negative return to enclave participants, but at the same time, a positive effect associated with enclave participation. The positive effect may be understood as coming from unmeasured ethnic and cultural features of the enclave that provide a cushion to lessen the magnitude of income disadvantages in the enclave. The study suggests that there is evidence to support both sides of the debate: enclave participants have lower net returns, but the enclave provides a cushioning effect in reducing earnings disparities. The study suggests that integration policy towards immigrants may consider immigrant enclaves as providing some support to immigrants to soften some disadvantages, but enclaves do not offer the same opportunities as the mainstream economy.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Li, PS (Corresponding Author), Univ Saskatchewan, Dept Sociol, 9 Campus Dr, Saskatoon, SK S7H 5A5, Canada.

Design/methodology/approach Using qualitative research methodology, the analysis via in-depth interviews focuses on male Bangladeshi, Nigerian, Pakistani and Palestinian unskilled manual and textile laborers as well as street vendors, and female Filipina live-in domestic workers. Findings Migrants are entrapped in a context of isolative and exploitative working conditions, i.e., in unskilled labor, textile work, street-vending, personal services, care and domestic work, which lead them to adopt a self-perception in which healthcare and social protection are not a priority. Social implications Throughout the paper it has become clear that these precarious low-status/low-wage jobs have an important underside effect on migrants' lives, intensifying labor and health instability and exposing migrants to employment-generating activities that do not guarantee health safety. In Greek society, the impact of migration on public health is characterized by many as a time bomb ready to explode, especially in urban centers. Meanwhile, the economy and particularly the informal sector of the labor market is benefiting from migrant workers. More research is needed as this mode of exploitative labor and precarious employment needs to be adequately addressed to mitigate barriers in the access of labor and healthcare rights. Originality/value Via its contribution to the sociology of migration with particular emphasis on labor healthcare, the paper provides evidence that due to their concentration in precarious, low-status/low-wage jobs migrant workers have very limited access to healthcare services. The removal of inequalities and discrimination against migrant workers in accessing healthcare services and medical care is a challenge for South European Union countries and particularly for Greece. However, in spite of this, there is no uniform policy in the management of migrants with respect to their access to health services. The paper will aid debates between policy makers and academics working on migration and inequalities due to the division of labor and health disparities, will contribute to the understanding of the perils attached to precarious, low-status/low-wage jobs and in addressing health inequalities effectively.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Fouskas, T (Corresponding Author), Technol Educ Inst TEI Athens, Dept Social Work, Athens, Greece.

Differences in these dynamics by race, ethnicity, and gender are related to changes in a behavioral determinant of poor health (tobacco use) for young adults aging into midlife. Using discrete-time hazards models, we estimate the relationship between labor force participation in the past year and smoking cessation for US adults (ages 14-21 years in 1979) followed in a population-representative sample until 1998 (i.e. the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth). We assess the unique role of racial, ethnic and gender differences in exposure, vulnerability, and reactivity to employment and joblessness by controlling for social and economic resources obtained through working and by controlling for early life factors that select individuals into certain labor force and smoking trajectories. There are three main findings: (1) joblessness is more strongly associated with persistent daily smoking among women than among men; (2) fewer social and economic resources for women out of the labor force compared to employed women explains their lower cessation rates; and (3) lower cessation among unemployed women compared to employed women can only partially be explained by these resources. These findings illustrate how differential access to work-related social and economic resources is an important mediator of poor health trajectories. Contextual factors such as social norms and psychosocial strains at work and at home may play a unique role among European American men and women in explaining gender differences in smoking (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

All former Yugoslav republics initially relied on gendered and selective childcare-related policy design, empowering only a fraction of working mothers. In the last three decades only Slovenia equalized the potential of childcare-related policy allowing various parents to more easily engage in care and employment. The other post-Yugoslav countries that were more exposed to the post-1990 societal re-traditionalization and cost-containment measures mostly exacerbated the existing or created new layers of inequalities and (dis)advantages intersecting along gender, class, ethnical and spatial lines. While enacting more socially inclusive leaves, they also amplified the systematic exclusion of some parents from access to childcare-related rights and the opportunity to work and care.

To examine the relationship between social capital and preventable hospitalizations (PHs). Data Sources.

Study Design. Cross-sectional, zip code-level multivariate analyses to examine the associations among social capital, primary care resources, and adult PHs and pediatric asthma hospitalizations. Data Extraction. Data were merged at the zip code-level (n=837). Principal Findings. Few of the social capital measures were independently associated with PHs: longer mean commute times (reduced bonding social capital) were related to higher adult rates; more racial and ethnic diversity (increased bridging social capital) was related to lower nonelderly adult rates but higher pediatric rates; more faith-based organizations (linking social capital) were associated with higher nonelderly adult rates. Having a safety net clinic within 20 miles was associated with lower adult rates, while general internists were associated with higher rates. More pediatricians per capita were related to higher pediatric rates. Conclusions. The importance of social capital for health care access is unclear. Some bonding and bridging ties were related to PHs, but differentially across age groups; more work is needed to operationalize linking ties.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Derose, KP (Corresponding Author), RAND Corp, 1776 Main St,POB 2138, Santa Monica, CA 90407 USA.

(2) The positive emotions of professional females came from the company of family and friends in intra-household life, and satisfaction with the working environment and treatment in extra-household life. (3) The negative emotions came from the pressure of ``marriage,{''} ``birth,{''} and other traditional concepts in intra-household life.

In this article, I examine how school closures intersected with Latina women's identities and social positions as immigrant mothers who suddenly confronted job loss, illness, and increased familial responsibilities. I show how Latina immigrant women renegotiated relationships to schooling, becoming teachers overnight in an unfamiliar system. Mothers shifted educational aspirations for their children to prioritize safety, as they managed increased stress and conflict while schools remained remote. I demonstrate how the breakdowns in care infrastructure forced mothers to rethink the elusive balance between paid labor and childcare, especially for those who were undocumented.

In response, numerous initiatives have focused on fostering technological innovations, new management approaches and health policies. Research suggests that the most successful innovations are those involving stakeholders at all levels. However, there is little evidence exploring the opinions of local health providers that could contribute with further innovation development and research. The aims of this study were to explore the perspectives of medical doctors (MDs) working in rural areas of Peru, regarding the barriers impacting the diagnostic process, and ideas for diagnostic innovations that could assist them. Methods: Data gathered through three focus group discussions (FGG) and 18 individual semi-structured interviews (SSI) with MDs who had completed their medical service in rural areas of Peru in the last two years were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Three types of barriers emerged. The first barrier was the limited access to point of care (POC) diagnostic tools. Tests were needed for: i) the differential diagnosis of malaria vs. pneumonia, ii) dengue vs. leptospirosis, iii) tuberculosis, iv) vaginal infections and cervical cancer, v) neurocysticercosis, and vi) heavy metal toxicity. Ultrasound was needed for the diagnosis of obstetric and intra-abdominal conditions. There were also health system-related barriers such as limited funding for diagnostic services, shortage of specialists, limited laboratory services and access to telecommunications, and lack of institutional support. Finally, the third type of barriers included patient related-barriers to follow through with diagnostic referrals. Ideas for innovations proposed included POC equipment and tests, and telemedicine. Conclusions: MDs at primary health facilities in rural Peru face diagnostic challenges that are difficult to overcome due to a limited access to diagnostic tools. Referrals to specialized facilities are constrained by deficiencies in the organization of health services and by barriers that impede the patients' travel to distant health facilities. Technological innovations suggested by the participants such as POC diagnostic tools and mobile-health (m-health) applications could help address part of the problem. However, other types of innovation to address social, adaptation and policy issues should not be dismissed.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Huaynate, CFA (Corresponding Author), Univ Peruana Cayetano Heredia, Ave Honorio Delgado 430, Lima, Peru.

Design/methodology/approach - Twelve copreneur couples were interviewed; male and female partners were interviewed separately. Women's narratives are centered in analyzing motivations for business, divisions of labor, orientation to business/family and state policies. After detailing women's orientations, correspondence with male partner orientations is considered. Findings - Analysis reveals how state policies, employment conditions and gender norms inform copreneur narratives about business and family life in the Czech Republic. Female respondents expressed three orientations: business as opportunity, business for family and business/home as teamwork. Women tended both business and family, whereas most male partners focused exclusively on business. Research limitations/implications - Although the small, purposive sample was not representative of all Czech copreneurs, findings detail how social context frames business/family dynamics. Practical implications - This mixed-embeddedness perspective demonstrates how gender norms, state taxation and welfare shape the organization of Czech copreneurships and can support or discourage women's entrepreneurship. Social implications - Mechanisms producing gender inequality in copreneur businesses are revealed. Originality/value - Findings identify connections between female copreneur business/family orientations and the context of gender regimes, state policy and employment practices in a post-socialist country. Also revealed are changing orientations across family and business stages.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Jurik, N (Corresponding Author), Arizona State Univ, Sch Social Transformat, Tempe, AZ 85281 USA.

We explored the benefit of using community organisations to deliver mental health literacy programmes to overcome workplace barriers to help-seeking behaviours. Design This study used a qualitative application of the theory of planned behaviour to examine underlying beliefs that may influence worker's intentions to participate in mental health literacy programmes delivered by community organisations and manager support for them. Setting This study took place within three large white-collar organisations in the Australian state of Victoria. Participants Eighteen workers and 11 managers (n=29) were interviewed to explore perspectives of the benefits of such an approach. Results Community organisations have six attributes that make them suitable as an alternative mental health literacy programme provider including empathy, safety, relatability, trustworthiness, social support and inclusivity. Behavioural beliefs included accessibility, understanding and objectivity. The lack of suitability and legitimacy due to poor governance and leadership was disadvantages. Normative beliefs were that family and friends would most likely approve, while line managers and colleagues were viewed as most likely to disapprove. Control beliefs indicated that endorsements from relevant bodies were facilitators of participation. Distance/time constraints and the lack of skills, training and lived experiences of coordinators/facilitators were seen as barriers. Conclusions Identifying workers' beliefs and perceptions of community organisations has significant implication for the development of effective community-based strategies to improve worker mental health literacy and help seeking. Organisations with formal governance structures, allied with government, peak bodies and work-related mental health organisations would be most suitable. Approaches should focus on lived experience and be delivered by qualified facilitators. Promoting supervisor and colleague support could improve participation. Models to guide cross-sector collaborations to equip community organisations to deliver work-related mental health literacy programmes need to be explored.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Crisan, C (Corresponding Author), Monash Univ, Monash Sustainable Dev Inst, Behav Works Australia, Melbourne, Vic, Australia.

The CLER program aspires that faculty and residents will identify the disparities among the patient populations they serve and engage in quality improvement (QI) activities designed to address them. In this Perspective, the authors provide a framework for integrating QI and health equity principles in graduate medical education to meet these ACGME expectations. The authors illustrate their four-step framework by describing a faculty development workshop that provides strategies and tools for embedding equity into existing QI educational efforts and using QI methods to address equity challenges. Using examples, the authors outline how medical educators can begin to integrate QI and equity initiatives to address health care disparities and involve their residents/fellows in the process. In addition, the authors emphasize the importance of applying an equity lens to QI interventions and of recognizing that QI initiatives will have different impacts on outcomes depending on the patient population. The authors conclude by discussing the need for institutional leadership to build capacity and training to improve data collection and reporting of quality metrics by demographic variables; provide resources to disseminate lessons learned; support faculty development to teach and mentor trainees through equity-related QI work; and prioritize time in the curriculum for learners to participate in equity improvement activities.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Aysola, J (Corresponding Author), Univ Penn, Perelman Sch Med, 1229 Blockley Hall,423 Guardian Dr, Philadelphia, PA 19104 USA.

Improving ECD impacts on children, and can improve educational attainment for girls, who often care for younger siblings, and employment prospects for mothers. Developing and evaluating the impacts of ECD programmes within childcare needs to assess a range of social, health, educational and economic impacts, including women's empowerment. Children living in slums are at high risk of poor early development and holistic, sustainable interventions are needed to address ECD in these contexts. This study will be undertaken in Dhaka, Bangladesh, a city where over 8.5 million inhabitants live in slums. In collaboration with government, non-governmental organisations and communities, we are developing and testing a sustainable day-care model for low-income communities in Dhaka. Methodology and analysis A sequential mixed methods approach is being used in the study, with qualitative work exploring quantitative findings. Two hundred households with children under-5 will be surveyed to determine day-care needs and to assess ECD (parent-reported and direct assessment). The feasibility of four ECD measuring tools Caregiver-Reported Early Development Index, Measuring Early Learning Quality and Outcomes, The Early Human Capability Index and International Development and Early Learning Assessment will be assessed quantitatively and qualitatively. Qualitative methods will help understand demand and perceptions of day care while mothers work. Participatory action research will be used to develop a locally appropriate and potentially sustainable model of day care for under-5 children. A ward in the south of Dhaka has been selected for the study as this typifies communities with slum and non-slum households living next to each other, allowing us to explore potential for better-off household to subsidise day care for poorer households. Ethics and dissemination Findings will be published and inform decision makers at the national, regional and the local actors in order to embed the study into the policy and practice on childcare and ECD.

In turn, part-time work, especially involuntary part-time work, tends to be associated with worse health outcomes. Although prior research documents heterogeneity in the health consequences of precarious work across countries, we do not know whether state-level institutional contexts shape the association between part-time work and self-rated health in the United States. Using data from the Current Population Survey (2009-2019; n = 813,077), the present study examined whether linkages between part-time work and self-rated health are moderated by state-level social policies and contexts. At the population level, we document differences in the prevalence of fair/poor health among part-time workers across states. For instance, 21\% of involuntary part-time workers reported fair/poor health in West Virginia compared to 7\% of involuntary part-time workers in Massachusetts. Findings also provide evidence that voluntary (beta = .51) and involuntary (beta=.57) part-time work is associated with greater odds of fair/poor health among individuals. Moreover, the association between voluntary part-time work and self-rated health is weaker for individuals living in states with higher amounts for maximum unemployment insurance, higher minimum wage, and lower income inequality. State-level policies did not moderate the association between involuntary part-time work and health. The present study points to the need to mitigate the health consequences of part-time work with social policies that enhance the health of workers.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Donnelly, R (Corresponding Author), PMB 351811, Nashville, TN 37235 USA.

Evidence from Uganda}, Journal = {WORLD DEVELOPMENT}, Year = {2016}, Volume = {77}, Pages = {17-33}, Month = {JAN}, Abstract = {We use OLS and decomposition techniques to investigate gender differences in agricultural productivity in Uganda. Using nationally representative surveys from years 2009-2012, the analysis applies different gender dummies - female head of household, female plot holder, and female plot manager- to investigate how the variable of choice affects the calculation of the gender gap. Our analysis obtains different results depending on the gender variable of choice. The study finds that regardless of the variable of choice, the gender gap in agricultural productivity decreases or disappears when factors of production and crop choice are controlled for. The conditional gender gap is about 10\% and significant when using female plot manager as the gender variable, while we find no conditional gender gap when using the other gender variables. The use of time fixed-effects and decomposition contributes evidence that the typically available gender variables are insufficient for identifying how gender and decision-making of different household members play a role in productivity. This finding is problematic for targeting effective interventions to increase agricultural productivity and reduce gender inequalities in agriculture. Finally, we find that the older status of female heads, holders and manager of plots, child dependency ratio, and limited access to adult male labor are factors decreasing productivity in female plots in Uganda.

In order to identify effects of these two key variables, we conduct a panel regression analysis that includes two poverty measures: poverty rates before and after social spending. This inquiry considers 14 EU countries, and in the period from 1995 to 2008, which are grouped according to welfare state regimes We consider Social Democratic, Corporatist, Mediterranean and Liberal welfare state regimes. Panel regression results indicate that political orientation engenders no significant statistically measurable effects on poverty rates before social spending. Effects register, however, as significant when considering poverty rates after social spending. With respect to the first set of results, we advance two key explanations. First, we note a longer period of time is necessary in order to observe actual effects of political orientation on market generated poverty. Second, political parties with their respective programs do not register as influential enough to solve social problems related to income disiribution when taken alone. Influences register as indirect and are expressed through changes in employment rates and social spending. The second set of results support the hypothesis that a selected political regime does indeed contribute to poverty reduction. In sum, political orientation and political regime does indeed affect poverty through welfare state institutions, as well as through labour market institutions.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Josifidis, K (Corresponding Author), Univ Novi Sad, Novi Sad 21000, Serbia.

Mentorship programs provide a promising approach to supporting youth through those transitions. This paper aims to identify the effective components of mentorship programs and describe participants' experiences. Method: We undertook a systematic review of mentorship interventions for youth and young adults with disabilities. We searched seven electronic databases for peer-reviewed articles published in English between 1980 and 2014. We included articles that examined mentorship interventions focused on PSE or employment outcomes among youth, aged thirty or younger, with physical, developmental, or cognitive disabilities. Results: Of the 5068 articles identified, 22 met the inclusion criteria. For seven mentorship interventions, at least one significant improvement was reported in school- or work-related outcomes. Mentorship programs with significant outcomes were often structured, delivered in group-based or mixed formats, and longer in duration (>6 months). Mentors acted as role models, offered advice, and provided mentees with social and emotional support. Conclusions: Evidence suggests that mentorship programs may be effective for helping youth with disabilities transition to PSE or employment.

While effective interventions currently exist for many health and social problems, large segments of the population experience barriers accessing needed services. In alignment with broader public health efforts to reduce health and social inequality in one state in the U.S.A., the current study describes the development and formative evaluation of a brief, low cost, portable model of prevention-oriented family service navigation called Navigate Your Way. Methods Caregivers of children experiencing significant unmet health or social service needs were recruited to the study. Participants completed an initial and closing telephone interview which included measures of past and current family health and social service utilization, service barriers, parenting stress, and child internalizing/externalizing behaviors. Between interviews participants created a family service plan and received 10 weeks of telephone and web-mediated family navigation, at which time process and fidelity of implementation data were collected. Frequency and descriptive statistics are provided for participant demographic characteristics, service barriers, intervention engagement, and primary and secondary study outcomes. Paired samples t-tests examined changes in study outcomes between initial and closing telephone interviews. Results Thirty two caregivers enrolled, twenty-nine completed the study. The age range was 20-59 (M = 39.5, SD = 10.0). The majority identified as female (96.9\%, n = 31), racial/ethnic minority (56.2\%, n = 18), and reported an average 10 barriers to care (M = 10.4, SD = 4.1). The most frequently reported service needs were mental health care, housing, food security, transportation, and health insurance. The mean duration of intervention delivery was 83 days. Most participants (82.8\%, n = 24) were connected to one or more health or social services. Caregivers reported significant improvements to youth internalizing behaviors (d = 2.5, p = .05) and high levels of overall satisfaction with the navigation approach.

Specifically, we address three issues. First, we provide more recent estimates of adult women's and men's poverty and the ratio of women's to men's poverty with two different poverty measures. We suggest that by incorporating the elderly, the feminization of poverty may be greater than previously estimated. The feminization of poverty is nearly universal across affluent Western democracies 1969-2000. Second, we show that women's, men's and overall poverty are highly correlated, but the feminization of poverty diverges as a distinct social problem. Third, we find that women's, men's and overall poverty share several correlates, particularly the welfare state, though some differences exist. At the same time, several of our findings differ with past research. The feminization of poverty is only influenced by social security transfers, single motherhood and the sex ratios of the elderly and labor force participation. While power resources theory probably best explains women's, men's and overall poverty, structural theory may best explain the feminization of poverty. We conclude by discussing how analyses of the feminization of poverty contribute to debates on poverty and gender inequality. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc.

This is in contrast to previous studies that are either based on individual unit level of analysis or examined the relationship between the aggregated composition of government revenue with socio-economic and infrastructural development in the country. The data for this study were assembled from the National Bureau of Statistics, Federal Ministry of Health and Federal Ministry of Education and were analysed using spatial statistics and stepwise linear regression. Findings show that sub-national government revenue is spatially dispersed, while federal allocation (FA) accounted for the major source of sub-national government revenue, indicating poor internal revenue generation by states. Pay-as-you-earn tax (PAYE), revenue from Ministries and Departments (MDAs), direct assessment, road taxes and FA were negatively correlated with gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, the provision of educational facilities and employment, while PAYE, revenue from MDAs and FA were associated with the provision of health facilities. The study recommends that, to boost revenue generation, states should focus on the production of commodities for which they have comparative advantage. Also, to achieve comprehensive socio-economic and infrastructural development, the government must be strategic in the allocation of revenue, which entails having a framework that will include projects of immense benefits to the citizens while also ensuring equitable allocation of revenue in the provision of basic services.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Adeleke, R (Corresponding Author), Univ Ibadan, Dept Geog, Ibadan, Nigeria.

Mismatch between job rotation and company needs, lack of full implementation, lack of exposure variation in included tasks and failure to assess variation may underlie inconclusive research findings to date. The study aims to develop a job rotation with company stakeholders, perform a process evaluation of the implementation, and determine the extent to which the intervention improves the physical and psychosocial work environment, indicators of health, gender and social equality among workers and production quality and resilience.Methods and analysisApproximately 60 production workers at a Swedish commercial laundromat will be recruited. Physical and psychosocial work environment conditions, health, productivity and gender and social equality will be assessed pre and post intervention, using surveys, accelerometers, heart rate, electromyography and focus groups. A task-based exposure matrix will be constructed, and exposure variation estimated at the level of the individual worker pre and post intervention. An implementation process evaluation will be conducted. Job rotation efficacy will be assessed in terms of improvement in work environment conditions, health, gender and social inequality, and production quality and resilience. This study will provide novel information on the effects of the job rotation on physical and psychosocial work environment conditions, production quality and rate, health and gender and social inequality among blue-collar workers in a highly multicultural workplace.Ethics and disseminationThe study received approval from the Swedish Ethical Review Authority (reference number 2019-00228).

We call this the gender BMI puzzle and investigate its underlying cause. We begin by studying time trends in Japan, where, consistent with the cross-country puzzle, the BMI of adult women has steadily decreased since the 1950s, whereas the BMI of adult men has steadily increased. We study how changes in energy intake and energy expenditure account for the over-time gender BMI puzzle using the Japanese National Nutrition Survey from 1975 to 2010, which provides nurse-measured height and weight and nutritionist-assisted food records. Because long-term data on energy expenditure do not exist, we calculate energy expenditure using a steady-state body weight model. We then conduct cross-country regression analysis to corroborate what we learn from the Japanese data. We find that both energy intake and energy expenditure have significantly decreased for Japanese adult men and women and that a larger reduction in energy expenditure among men than women accounts for the increasing male-to-female BMI gap. Trends in BMI and energy expenditure vary greatly by occupation, suggesting that a relatively large decrease in physical activity in the workplace among men underlies the gender BMI puzzle. The cross-country analysis supports the generalizability of the findings beyond the Japanese data. Furthermore, the analysis suggests the increasing male-to-female BMI gap is driven not only by a reduction in the energy requirements of physically demanding work but also by weakening occupational gender segregation. No support is found for other explanations, such as increasing female labor force participation, greater female susceptibility to malnutrition in utero, and gender inequality in nutrition in early life.

Firstly, the problem of alcohol abuse among the elderly is considered with reference to the major sociopolitical international and Russian documents. These documents outline the key elements of state policies and the instruments in use, which aim to keep a rapidly growing elderly population healthy, thus reducing the burden on the health system and social security and employment. Particular attention is paid here to the problem of alcoholism among the elderly. Based on the results of empirical studies of the lifestyles of 713 of people aged 60 to 89 in the Arkhangelsk region, this paper offers an evaluation of the impact and consequences of alcoholism, which can be viewed as a destabilizing mechanism in social life settings. The main difficulties in that respondents highlighted that, directly or indirectly, led to alcohol use were the limitation of activities caused by the reduction or disability, loneliness, inadequate social skills, social isolation, lack of physical activity. Thus, consumption of alcohol can be understood as a `withdrawal' from one's accumulated problems. Loneliness as a manifestation of social exclusion is one of the most dangerous stimulants towards alcohol use among the elderly, which can be seen as a form of `doping'. The frequency with which alcoholic beverages are consumed depends on gender and age characteristics, as well as education level. Another important factor to be considered is the consequences of the alcohol consumption of older persons as an important risk factor for social disadvantage at the macro-, micro-social and personal levels. The results obtained here update regional studies on the life quality of the elderly population in the regions, revealing a high risk of alcoholic consumption, as well as the development of social policies due to the demographic development and the increase in the availability of medical care for the elderly.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Russian}, Affiliation = {Golubeva, E (Corresponding Author), Northern Arctic Fed Univ, Higher Sch Social Sci Humanities \& Int Commun, Dept Social Work \& Social Secur, Arkhangelsk, Russia.

Due to entry barriers, relatively wealthy farm households may dominate the most lucrative rural non-farm activities such as masonry, carpentry and petty trade.

The second framework, the Spectrum of Prevention, guides users in thinking through the elements of a comprehensive community prevention strategy: strengthening individual knowledge and skills; promoting community education; educating providers and leaders (in all sectors); fostering coalitions and networks; changing organizational practice (within government, health institutions and workplaces, among others); and influencing policy and legislation. Both Taking Two Steps and the Spectrum are explained through the demonstration of two successful and ongoing community prevention efforts: first, preventing smoking; and second, promoting breastfeeding. The third framework, Collaboration Multiplier, focuses on developing sustainable interdisciplinary partnerships capable of addressing a variety of health and social problems.

In the decade that followed there is a tale of great economic and political turmoil. In the process, the country's dependence on primary exports (oil, shrimps and bananas) has not been reduced, while the economy is likely to have become even more sensitive to terms-of-trade shocks following its decision to adopt the dollar as official means of payments thereby fully giving up independence of monetary policy. The early 1990s began with fairly successful economic stabilization helped by debt reduction under the Brady deal, use of the exchange rate as nominal anchor and a rise in trade and capital inflows following import liberalization and capital account opening. In the first half of the 1990s, modest growth was achieved and real wages were up fostering a substantial decline in (urban) poverty. Things start to breakdown after 1995 following political turmoil and several external shocks. A full-blown currency and financial crises emerged in 1999 as the domestic currency could no longer be defended. A shift towards a flexible exchange-rate regime and rise in interest rates did not evade, but rather accelerated the banking crisis as it revealed the currency mismatch and large share of bad debts in the system. Per capita income fell by 9 per cent in 1 year and poverty increased substantially during 1998-9. The crisis eventually led to the decision to dollarize the economy. Inflation hit at an unprecedented height in the first months following dollarization, but the inflation rate has gradually decelerated since and the economy has slowly recovered. Inflation has been higher though than that of the major trading partners leading to an appreciation of the hypothetical real exchange rate. Real wages have been able to recover alongside the real appreciation alike in the early 1990s. Workers remittances have become a major new source of household income following massive emigration after the economic crisis of 1999. These factors have helped reduce (urban) poverty in 2001-2. Factors associated with the structural reforms, however, seem to have pushed up income inequality. This trend has been visible throughout the 1990s, particularly due to a rise in skill-intensity of production in most traded and non-traded goods sectors pushing up the wage gap between skilled and unskilled workers. Employment growth has been as volatile as aggregate output growth, but on balance more workers have been pushed in the informal sector and a widening gap between formal and informal sector workers has further contributed to rising inequality. These trends may be associated to a large extent with the process of trade liberalization in Ecuador as shown by the CGE simulations. The simulation results indicate that the trade opening in Ecuador induced mild aggregate welfare gains, but rising income inequality due to rising wage differentials between skilled and unskilled workers implies that at the end of the day trade liberalization had no poverty-reducing impact. Scenarios of deepened trade integration, such as under the Free Trade Agreement for the Americas and a WTO scenario of free trade and no export subsidies only exacerbate these trends. Under the WTO scenario rising inequality and unfavourable relative prices for agricultural exports would even lead to a rise in poverty. To reap the benefits of trade, Ecuador's stabilization and growth strategy should thus give priority to investment in human and physical infrastructure to foster productivity growth and reduce the shortage of skilled workers.}, Type = {Article; Book Chapter}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Vos, R (Corresponding Author), Inst Social Studies, POB 90733, NL-2509 LS The Hague, Netherlands.

Policies addressing socio-economic inequality include a focus on promoting skills development and employment for persons with disabilities. A predominant instrument for providing post-school training and work opportunities to disadvantaged youth, including persons with disabilities, is learnership programmes funded through the Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs).

This situation opens up the skills development strategy, and supporting legislation, for some critical review. Using Critical Disability Studies as a lens, this paper offers three critiques concerning the operation of learnerships for disability inclusion in South Africa; (1) neglecting to align skills development and market needs holds persons with disabilities in a cycle of training and poverty; (2) focusing exclusively on providing hard skills fails to account for complex challenges faced by persons with disabilities; and (3) viewing skills development and inclusive employment as a charitable endeavour fails to achieve social justice.

This phenomenon has important implications for the dynamics of gender inequality in economic transition. OBJECTIVE This article examines how family status is associated with women's career mobility in reform-era urban China and the impact of family on women's career choices across different reform stages. METHOD Based on retrospective data from the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) in 2008, we adopt discrete-time logit models to examine the effects of marriage and childbearing on women's upward mobility, the risk of labor market exit, and how the effects vary over time. RESULTS Chinese women in the workforce are adversely affected by marriage and having dependent children. They are more likely than men to experience (involuntary, in particular) job exit to fulfill their roles as wives and mothers and less likely to move up in the career ladder. This pattern is more prominent as the economic reform proceeds. CONCLUSION Marketization has adversely affected Chinese women's career outcomes by increasing work-family tension after the work unit (danwei) system and socialist programs that supported working women were scrapped. CONTRIBUTION This study is one of the few empirical studies to attempt to explain the widening gender gap in China's job market from the perspective of family using the two-sphere separation framework. The framework originated in Western family studies but has been adapted to suit the context of urban China}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Wu, XG (Corresponding Author), NYU Shanghai, Ctr Appl Social \& Econ Res, Shanghai, Peoples R China.

Moreover, these new inequalities have primarily benefited the top 1 percent and even the top .01 percent. These groups seem sufficiently small that economic inequality could be held in check by political equality in the form of ``one person, one vote.{''} In this paper, we explore five possible reasons why the US political system has failed to counterbalance rising inequality. First, both Republicans and many Democrats have experienced an ideological shift toward acceptance of a form of free market capitalism that offers less support for government provision of transfers, lower marginal tax rates for those with high incomes, and deregulation of a number of industries. Second, immigration and low turnout of the poor have combined to make the distribution of voters more weighted to high incomes than is the distribution of households. Third, rising real income and wealth has made a larger fraction of the population less attracted to turning to government for social insurance. Fourth, the rich have been able to use their resources to influence electoral, legislative, and regulatory processes through campaign contributions, lobbying, and revolving door employment of politicians and bureaucrats. Fifth, the political process is distorted by institutions that reduce the accountability of elected officials to the majority and hampered by institutions that combine with political polarization to create policy gridlock.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Bonica, A (Corresponding Author), Stanford Univ, Stanford, CA 94305 USA.

In the first paper in this Series, we present evidence to show that Bangladesh has achieved substantial health advances, but the country's success cannot be captured simplistically because health in Bangladesh has the paradox of steep and sustained reductions in birth rate and mortality alongside continued burdens of morbidity. Exceptional performance might be attributed to a pluralistic health system that has many stakeholders pursuing women-centred, gender-equity-oriented, highly focused health programmes in family planning, immunisation, oral rehydration therapy, maternal and child health, tuberculosis, vitamin A supplementation, and other activities, through the work of widely deployed community health workers reaching all households. Government and non-governmental organisations have pioneered many innovations that have been scaled up nationally. However, these remarkable achievements in equity and coverage are counterbalanced by the persistence of child and maternal malnutrition and the low use of maternity-related services. The Bangladesh paradox shows the net outcome of successful direct health action in both positive and negative social determinants of health-ie, positives such as women's empowerment, widespread education, and mitigation of the effect of natural disasters; and negatives such as low gross domestic product, pervasive poverty, and the persistence of income inequality. Bangladesh offers lessons such as how gender equity can improve health outcomes, how health innovations can be scaled up, and how direct health interventions can partly overcome socioeconomic constraints.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Chowdhury, AMR (Corresponding Author), BRAC, Dhaka 1212, Bangladesh.

U. S. Schools will also undergo demographic shifts. Currently, nearly 33\% of all children under age 18 are children of color. By 2000, persons with disabilities made up one of the largest minority groups in the Uniteds States, with more than 49.7 million persons (or nearly 20\% Americans) reporting significant disabilities. Persons with disabilities constitute the largest minority group in the United States. Disability rates have escalated more in the minority population: The disability rates for Native American and African Americans (each at 24.3\%), Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders (20\%) and Whites (19.7\%) while those of Hispanic origin have a significantly lower rate (15.3\%). Racial/ethnic minority persons with disabilities often face attitudinal, physical and social barriers that inhibit full participation in society. A substantial number of diverse individuals are unemployed and underemployed and have not been given full opportunity to express their skills in the labor market. Persons with dual or triple minority status (i.e., considering gender, race and disability) may experience unique problems and barriers in school, employment and social settings. Despite historical and current disability legislation (i.e., Americans with Disability Act) barriers continue to exist. Racial/ethnic minority persons with disabilities are more at risk, have fewer personal and family resources, and fare less well socioeconomically than minorities without disabilities. Many lack pertinent knowledge relevant to health care, childcare education, housing and employment resources. Rehabilitation professionals and services providers must be cognizant of various strategies and support services needed to improve the quality of life for ethnic minority persons with disabilities. There is a tremendous need for community-based collaboration to empower the community and optimize rehabilitation service delivery systems including the following: Provision of culturally competent services, utilization of health promotion tools, inclusion of family and community members in health care decision making and location of resources, expanding hours of operation, provision of linguistic services, and utilizing natural supports in the workplace and community. The challenge requires a commitment to reduce barriers and improve the quality of life for racial/ethnic minority persons with disabilities to ensure justice, equal access and employment for all citizens.}, Type = {Proceedings Paper}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Farish, Jean, Jackson State Univ, Jackson, MS USA.}, Research-Areas = {Education \& Educational Research}, Web-of-Science-Categories = {Education \& Educational Research}, Author-Email = {Jean.m.farish@jsums.edu}, Times-Cited = {0}, Usage-Count-Last-180-days = {0}, Usage-Count-Since-2013 = {5}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000318805501108}, DA = {2023-11-02}, } @article{ WOS:000654161500003, Author = {Messing, Karen and Lefrancois, Melanie and Saint-Charles, Johanne}, Title = {Observing Inequality: Can Ergonomic Observations Help Interventions Transform the Role of Gender in Work Activity?}, Journal = {COMPUTER SUPPORTED COOPERATIVE WORK-THE JOURNAL OF COLLABORATIVE COMPUTING AND WORK PRACTICES}, Year = {2021}, Volume = {30}, Number = {2, SI}, Pages = {215-249}, Month = {APR}, Abstract = {Work activity ergonomics (sometimes called francophone ergonomics) draws heavily on observation in order to support transformation of work to arrive at better health without interfering with productivity. Recently, ergonomists have attempted to integrate gender into their interventions. At the same time, ergonomists have been observing and documenting the importance of considering collective dimensions of work, thus including the construction of social relations among workers. Gender as well as biological sex can affect work activity through (1) Gendered job and task assignments; (2) Biological differences between women and men influencing the interface between work activity and the physical environment; (3) Gendered human relations at work, including sexual stereotyping, sexism, sexual harrassment, and sexual relations among workers and between workers and management or clients; (4) Manifestations of work-family articulation. But actually observing these phenomena poses various difficulties for the ergonomist. How can/should gender be observed by ergonomists? We describe a set of twenty studies, undertaken by ergonomists in collaboration with trade union women's committees and health and safety committees, where observations were central. We describe in particular detail a study of work-family articulation. Participant and ergonomic observations of workers with highly invasive schedules assigned to cleaning transportation equipment, and relational analysis tools were mobilized to reveal determinants of work activity and some sources of social inequalities. Integrating observations of gender and other dimensions of social relations into ergonomic analysis and intervention is revealed as necessary, but not simple, and fraught with obstacles.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Messing, K (Corresponding Author), Univ Quebec Montreal, CINBIOSE, CP 8888, Montreal, PQ H3C 3P8, Canada.

Governments and scientists have suggested that participation in employment is the main road to well-being. We analysed national survey data on the participation in work and satisfaction with life, comparing people with a chronic illness and a physical disability (n = 603) to people with a chronic illness but without a physical disability (n = 1199) and the general population (n = 6128) in the Netherlands. The results show that the relationship between happiness and work is different for people with a chronic illness and a physical disability, as compared to the other two populations. Fewer people with a chronic illness and disability were categorized as `satisfied people with work' (i.e. participating in work and satisfied with their life), while most people belonged to a group of `satisfied people without work' and, surprisingly, not to the expected group of `dissatisfied people without work'. In order to explain this exceptional distribution we modelled satisfied participation in work as an outcome of a balance between personal resources and barriers. By means of discriminant regression analysis, we identified the severity of motor disability as the main barrier, and education level and age, as the main resource factors that distinguish between `satisfied people with work' and others among the group of people with a chronic illness and a physical disability.

One such program is the public social healthcare protection schemes. However, like many other developing countries, Tanzania has low health insurance coverage, hindering its efforts to achieve universal health coverage. This study examines the role of equity in public social healthcare protection and its effects on household healthcare financing in Tanzania. The study used secondary data collected from the National Bureau of Statistics' National Panel Survey 2020/21 and stratified households based on their place of residence (rural vs. urban). Moreover, the logit regression model, ordered logit, and the endogenous switching regression model were used to provide counterfactual estimates without selection bias and endogeneity problems. The results showed greater variations in social health protection across rural and urban households, increasing disparities in health outcomes between these areas. Rural residents are the most vulnerable groups. Furthermore, education, income, and direct healthcare costs significantly influence equity in healthcare financing and the ability of households to benefit from public social healthcare protection schemes. To achieve equity in healthcare in rural and urban areas, developing countries need to increase investment in health sector by reducing the cost of healthcare, which will significantly reduce household healthcare financing. Furthermore, the study recommends that social health protection is an essential strategy for improving fair access to quality healthcare by removing differences across households and promoting equality in utilizing healthcare services.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Kitole, FA (Corresponding Author), Mzumbe Univ, Dept Econ, POB 5, Mzumbe, Tanzania.

In order to explore the barriers to social and labor exclusion it was elaborated a survey relating with the use and impact of ITC in social and labor experiences of rural women. The results showed that rural women are aware of the key role played for ITC on their way to achieve the participation on decision making process as well as in social life and labor. The main barriers to the Internet penetration in women social life were employment, education and income. From an individual point of view, the existence of non-users was explained by a combination of access problems, lack of ICT skills or rather negative attitudes towards ITC. Finally, a bunch of policy recommendations is proposed focus on providing better Internet access in rural areas and to sensitize the population, particularly the oldest, about the importance of gender equality in access to technology in order to avoid digital barriers for rural women and reduce social exclusion of this group.

The lack of businesses and jobs in disadvantaged urban areas fuels not only a crushing cycle of poverty but also crippling social problems such as drug abuse and crime.

The sad reality is that the efforts of the past several decades to revitalize inner cities have failed. The establishment of a sustainable economic base and - with it employment opportunities, wealth creation, role models, and improved local intrastructure - still eludes us despite the investment of substantial resources. The time has come to recognize that revitalizing the inner cities will require a radically new approach. While social programs will continue to play a critical role in meeting human needs and improving education, they must support - and not undermine - a coherent economic strategy. The question we should be asking is how inner-city-based businesses and nearby employment opportunities for inner city residents can proliferate and grow. A sustainable economic base can be created in the inner city, but only as it has been created elsewhere: through private, for-profit initiatives and investment based on economic self-interest and genuine competitive advantage.

In the Chinese context, the socioeconomic characteristics of rural migrant workers have attracted considerable research attention in the recent past years. However, to date, no previous studies have explored the association between the socioeconomic factors and social security among the rural migrant workers in urban China. This study aims to explore the association between socioeconomic inequity and social security inequity and the subsequent associations with medical inequity and reimbursement rejection. Methods: Data from a regionally representative sample of 2009 Survey of Migrant Workers in Pearl River Delta in China were used for analyses. Multiple logistic regressions were used to analyze the impacts of socioeconomic factors on the eight dimensions of social security (sick pay, paid leave, maternity pay, medical insurance, pension insurance, occupational injury insurance, unemployment insurance, and maternity insurance) and the impacts of social security on medical reimbursement rejection. The zero-inflated negative binomial regression model (ZINB regression) was adopted to explore the relationship between socioeconomic factors and hospital visits among the rural migrant workers with social security. Results: The study population consisted of 848 rural migrant workers with high income who were young and middle-aged, low-educated, and covered by social security. Reimbursement rejection and abusive supervision for the rural migrant workers were observed. Logistic regression analysis showed that there were significant associations between socioeconomic factors and social security. ZINB regression showed that there were significant associations between socioeconomic factors and hospital visits among the rural migrant workers. Also, several dimensions of social security had significant associations with reimbursement rejections. Conclusions: This study showed that social security inequity, medical inequity, and reimbursement inequity happened to the rural migrant workers simultaneously. Future policy should strengthen health justice and enterprises' medical responsibilities to the employed rural migrant workers.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Guan, M (Corresponding Author), Xuchang Univ, Family Issues Ctr, Rd Bayi 88, Xuchang, Henan, Peoples R China.

Design: Focus group method was conducted with 39 women. An interview guide based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) and the Health Promotion Model (HPM) was used. Results: Three main themes became apparent as a result of data analysis: (a) knowledge and awareness about breast cancer, (b) personal factors, and (c) medical service provider and social environment. Conclusions: Focus groups conducted in line with HBM and HPM were effective in explaining barriers and facilitators toward participation of women in screening behaviors. Lack of information, indifference, and cultural factors are the most important barriers of women. Recommendations for Practice: The study will shed light on health care professionals working in primary health care organizations for developing the health training programs and consulting strategies in order to increase breast cancer screening practices of migrant women.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Tuzcu, A (Corresponding Author), Akdeniz Univ, Nursing Fac, TR-07058 Antalya, Turkey.

However, the belief that certain jobs or business functions can be performed better by people of one gender than the other has not allowed for widespread changes in the business culture to achieve effective equality between women and men in companies. Examples of this are unequal access to employment, vertical and horizontal segregation in occupations, wage discrimination, problems in reconciling personal and professional life, or difficulties in accessing management positions in companies (glass ceiling). Other determinants of gender inequalities have been long working hours, as well as the presence of employees, characteristic of European business culture. The progress achieved to date began with the incorporation of women into the labor market under unequal conditions that soon called for the need to establish a regulatory framework to try to eradicate them. The legal status of women in Europe has undoubtedly improved as a result of the development of European regulations, which have been binding in the development of business policies in the Member States and have succeeded in modifying the organizational climate through proposals such as the development of Equality Plans or salary audits. Examples of the most recent legislative initiatives of the European Union on equality that affect business practices are Directive 2022/2041/EC on adequate minimum wages in the European Union or Directive 2022/2381/EC on a better gender balance among directors of listed companies. This study attempts to systematize the changes in the legislation on effective equality between men and women in business and to analyze its effect on organizational culture through the information available in the statistics on gender equality-mainly from the European Union-which gather quantitative and qualitative information on the adaptation of business culture to the new legal framework and the overcoming of gender stereotypes that have been guiding business management in the last decade.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Gallo, NA (Corresponding Author), Rey Juan Carlos Univ URJC, Fac Law \& Social Sci, Dept Appl Econ, Madrid, Spain.

In this article, we attempt to define advocacy and policy initiatives meant to spotlight and potentially address these challenges. Issues are organized into the following 3 key facets of our community: patient population, health care delivery, and workforce. We discuss the social determinants of health and health care disparities that affect patients in the community that require the attention of policy makers. Furthermore, we highlight the many needs of the growing adults with congenital heart disease and those with comorbidities, highlighting concerns regarding the inequities in access to cardiac care and the need for multidisciplinary care. We also recognize the problems of transparency in outcomes reporting and the promising application of telehealth. Finally, we highlight the training of providers, measures of productivity, diversity in the workforce, and the importance of patient-family centered organizations in advocating for patients. Although all of these issues remain relevant to many subspecialties in medicine, this article attempts to illustrate the unique needs of this population and highlight ways in which to work together to address important opportunities for change in the cardiac care community and beyond.

In this system privately and publicly owned primary care centres with different business models (for-profit vs non-profit) coexist and compete for patients, which makes it important to study whether or not the type of ownership influences the quality of the primary healthcare services. Methods: In this retrospective observational study (April 2011 to January 2014) the patient perceived quality, the use of antibiotics and benzodiazepine derivatives, and the follow-up routines of certain chronic diseases were analysed for all primary care centres in Region Vastra Gotaland. The outcome measures were compared on a group level between privately owned (n = 86) and publicly owned (n = 114) primary care centres (PCC). Results: In comparison with the group of publicly owned PCCs, the group of privately owned PCCs were characterized by: a smaller, but continuously growing share of the population served (from 32 to 36 \%); smaller PCC population sizes (avg. 5932 vs. 9432 individuals); a higher fraction of PCCs located in urban areas (57 \% vs 35 \%); a higher fraction of listed citizens in working age (62 \% vs. 56 \%) and belonging to the second most affluent socioeconomic quintile (26 \% vs. 14 \%); higher perceived patient quality (82.4 vs. 79.6 points); higher use of antibiotics (6.0 vs. 5.1 prescriptions per 100 individuals in a quarter); lower use of benzodiazepines (DDD per 100 patients/month) for 20-74 year olds (278 vs. 306) and >74 year olds (1744 vs. 1791); lower rates for follow-ups of chronic diseases (71.2 \% vs 74.6 \%). While antibiotic use decreased, the use of benzodiazepines increased for both groups over time. Conclusions: The findings of this study cannot unambiguously answer the question of whether or not the quality is influenced by the healthcare centre's type of ownership. It can be questioned whether the reform created conditions that encouraged quality improvements. Tendencies of an (unintended) unequal distribution of the population between the two groups with disparities in age, socio-economy and geography might lead to unpredictable effects.

Workplace-based health interventions hold promise for improving or maintaining the health of shift workers; yet, the impact of workplace-based interventions on shift worker sleep duration has not been assessed. We conducted a systematic review of workplace interventions on shift worker sleep. Methods: We conducted searches in PubMed, Web of Knowledge, EMBASE, Scopus, and PsycINFO (n = 6,868 records) of all studies published through May 15, 2019. Eligibility criteria included the following: (a) individuals aged >= 18 years; (b) a workplace-based employee intervention; (c) an employee population comprised predominantly of shift workers (>50\%); and (d) sleep duration as a study outcome. Findings: Twenty workplace interventions met eligibility criteria. Mean intervention duration was 125 (SD = 187) days and mean sample size was 116 employees (SD = 256) with a mean age of 36.4 years (SD = 6.5). Interventions most commonly focused on light exposure (25\%) or shift timing (25\%), followed by sleep hygiene (20\%). Most interventions were conducted in the health care and social assistance sector (60\%). Study quality on average was 64\% (SD = 7\%). A majority of the studies found that a workplace-based health intervention was associated with a desirable increase in 24-hour total sleep duration (55\%). The overall average increase in daily employee sleep duration achieved by interventions ranged for RCT studies from 0.34 to 0.99 hours and for non-RCT studies from 0.02 to 1.15 hours. Conclusions/Applications to Practice: More than half of the employee health interventions, especially yoga or mindfulness interventions, resulted in a desirable increase in sleep duration.

These negative outcomes often persist after youth have transitioned out of care, particularly in the domains of housing, education, employment, and mental health. Initial research has found that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated negative physical and mental health outcomes, as well as decreased economic stability among transition age youth. Objective: This study seeks to determine if COVID-19 has resulted in unique impacts on foster care alumni, and if these impacts are the same for LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ transition age youth. Participants and Setting. This study used data from the 2020 Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative Opportunity Passport Survey to explore these questions. Methods: This survey was administered electronically to a national sample of 1223 youth ages 18-26 with lived experience in foster care. Results: Results indicate that relative to non-LGBTQ+ foster care alumni, LGBTQ+ foster care alumni experienced more negative outcomes in housing stability, employment, and mental health/trauma due to COVID-19.

Livestock development programs seek to amplify these benefits but often fail to consider the costs to intended beneficiaries or the effect of prevailing gender norms. Objective: To explore perceptions of livestock ownership among female smallholder livestock keepers in Nyanza Region, Kenya, and unpack how the distribution of livestock benefits and investments varies by gender within households. Methods: We used multiple ethnographic techniques, including Photovoice, a photo-elicitation interview method, focus group discussions, and pile sorts, with female smallholder livestock owners (n = 18) participating in an ongoing cohort study. Transcripts were coded using a combination of a priori constructs and grounded theory. Results: We found that livestock benefited households by providing financial security, food security, social benefits, and human time and labor savings. However, these benefits largely promoted long-term household resilience rather than immediate gains. Livestock ownership also had major costs to household time and labor, which were overwhelmingly borne by women and children. Despite this investment, women had limited livestock ownership rights, decision-making power, control over income, or access to meat. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that livestock ownership requires significant investments of household time and labor, which disproportionately burden women. Prevailing gender inequalities may therefore constrain the net benefit of livestock ownership for many women and their households in some contexts. Livestock development programs must assess both program benefits and costs at multiple levels to ensure that women's participation in livestock production leads to improved individual and household outcomes.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Young, SL (Corresponding Author), Northwestern Univ, Dept Anthropol, 515 Clark St,Room 202, Evanston, IL 60208 USA.

Methods: We use harmonized life-history data from the Gateway to Global Aging Data on two European studies (SHARE and ELSA) linked to health beyond age 50 (men = 11,621; women = 10,999). Adverse employment histories consist of precarious, discontinued, and disadvantaged careers between age 25 and 50, and we use depressive symptoms, grip strength, and verbal memory as outcomes. Results: Adverse employment histories between age 25 and 50 are associated with poor health functioning later in life, particularly repeated periods of unemployment, involuntary job losses, weak labor market ties, and disadvantaged occupational positions. Associations remain consistent after adjusting for age, partnership history, education and employment situation, and after excluding those with poor health prior to or during working life. We find no variations of the associations by national labor market policies. Discussion: Our study calls for increased intervention efforts to improve working conditions at early career stages.

Prior research has shown an association between residential segregation and youth cardiovascular health, although little work has examined the effects of transportation vulnerability on this relationship. Methods Longitudinal mixed methods were used to compare the effects of transportation vulnerability on the association between changes in exposure to residential segregation (defined as the uneven geographic distribution of minorities) and five cardiovascular health outcomes across sex in minority youth for up to four consecutive years of participation in an afterschool fitness program during 2010-2018 (n = 2742; Miami-Dade County, Florida, US). Results After accounting for child race/ethnicity, age, year, and poverty, girls with high transportation vulnerability and reduced exposure to segregation (vs. increased or no change in segregation) showed the most improvements across all outcomes, including body mass index percentile (26\% (95\% CI 23.84, 28.30)), sum of skinfold thicknesses (18\% (95\% CI 14.90, 20.46)), run time (17\% (95\% CI 14.88, 18.64)), systolic blood pressure percentile (15\% (95\% CI 11.96, 17.08)), and diastolic blood pressure percentile (12\% (95\% CI 9.09, 14.61)). Conclusion Transportation inequities related to concentrated racial/ethnic segregation may be an important factor in reducing disparities in youth cardiovascular health, particularly among girls. These study findings provide important longitudinal evidence in support of health interventions to reduce transportation vulnerability for racial/ethnic minority youth in underserved areas.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {D'Agostino, EM (Corresponding Author), Duke Univ, Dept Family Med \& Community Hlth, Sch Med, 2200 W Main St,Off 623,6th Fl, Durham, NC 27705 USA.

The National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) and the Colorectal Cancer and Control Program (CRCCP) are two federally-funded screening programs that support clinical- and community-based PNs who serve low-income and un- or underinsured populations across the United States. An online survey assessing PN characteristics, delivered activities, and patient barriers to screening was completed by 437 of 1002 identified PNs (44\%). Responding PNs were racially and ethnically diverse, had varied professional backgrounds and practice-settings, worked with diverse populations, and were located within rural and urban/suburban locations across the U.S. More PNs reported working to promote screening for breast/cervical cancers (BCC, 94\%) compared to colorectal cancer (CRC, 39\%). BCC and CRC PNs reported similar frequencies of individual- (e.g., knowledge, motivation, fear) and community-level patient barriers (e.g., beliefs about healthcare and screening). Despite reporting significant patient structural barriers (e.g., transportation, work and clinic hours), most BCC and CRC PNs delivered individual-level navigation activities (e.g., education, appointment reminders). PN training to identify and champion timely and patient-centered adjustments to organizational policies, practices, and norms of the NBCCEDP, CRCCP, and partner organizations may be beneficial. More research is needed to determine whether multilevel interventions that support this approach could reduce structural barriers and increase screening and diagnostic follow-up among the marginalized communities served by these two important cancer-screening programs.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Barrington, WE (Corresponding Author), Univ Washington, Sch Nursing, 1959 NE Pacific St,Box 357263, Seattle, WA 98195 USA.

However, its ratio exhibits a substantial diversity among each member country of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). This study aimed to reveal the social factors of countries associated with the percentage of female physicians. Methods: We retrieved the percentage of female physicians and social characteristic which may affect the ratio of female physicians of 36 OECD countries in 2016 or nearest year from the World Bank Open Data. Multivariate regression analysis was performed after univariate evaluations with Spearman's coefficient to explore correlation of social variables with the proportion of female physicians. Results: The percentages of female adolescents who dropped out of school before lower secondary school, female population that attained or completed Master's or equivalent degree, female labour force, and female academic staff in tertiary education showed statistically significant correlation with proportion of female physicians (Spearman coefficient =-0.527, 0.585, 0.501, and 0.499; P = .01, .001, .002, and .008). Female's educational attainment at least Master's or equivalent and that of female academic staff at tertiary education were selected after multivariate analysis. Conclusion: Our study revealed the relationships between advanced education opportunity and female participation in academic positions with the percentage of female physicians.

This suggests that in Tanzania ethnicity is a constraint on effective health care policy as there is ethnic discrimination in the provision of health and nutrition investment during childhood and adolescence that constrains adult height, living standards and economic growth.

The objective of this study was to undertake a situation analysis of the Zambian eye health system and assess VISION 2020 process indicators on human resources, equipment and infrastructure. Methods: All eye health care providers were surveyed to determine location, financing sources, human resources and equipment. Key informants were interviewed regarding levels of service provision, management and leadership in the sector. Policy papers were reviewed. A health system dynamics framework was used to analyse findings. Results: During 2011, 74 facilities provided eye care in Zambia; 39\% were public, 37\% private for-profit and 24\% owned by Non-Governmental Organizations. Private facilities were solely located in major cities. A total of 191 people worked in eye care; 18 of these were ophthalmologists and eight cataract surgeons, equivalent to 0.34 and 0.15 per 250,000 population, respectively. VISION 2020 targets for inpatient beds and surgical theatres were met in six out of nine provinces, but human resources and spectacles manufacturing workshops were below target in every province. Inequalities in service provision between urban and rural areas were substantial. Conclusion: Shortage and maldistribution of human resources, lack of routine monitoring and inadequate financing mechanisms are the root causes of underperformance in the Zambian eye health system, which hinder the ability to achieve the VISION 2020 goals.

Policymakers increasingly recognize that ``successful{''} aging policies must not only address physical health needs but also factors that influence subjective well-being. To investigate the influence of area-level distribution of ``public goods{''} on well-being in a low- and middle-income setting, nationally representative WHO-Study of Global AGEing and Adult Health (WHO-SAGE) survey data is combined with district-level data that captures built resources and health system distribution. Multilevel regression modeling is utilized to explore how community context, including built resources and health infrastructure quality, influence older persons' quality of life and how chronic health conditions may moderate this relationship while controlling for important individual characteristics. While controlling for individual and district level factors, it is found community level provision of built resources of basic services (i.e., water, sanitation, electricity, housing) has a modest but significant impact on older persons' subjective well-being. Further, this effect on older persons' perceptions of quality of life is moderated by individual chronic health status; individuals with a chronic health condition do not receive an equivalent benefit from district built condition like those without an illness do. This work adds to the literature concerning the effect of environments in low- and middle-income countries on older adults' subjective well-being. It also adds to the growing literature on the complex relationship between subjective well-being and health in diverse contexts.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Ralston, M (Corresponding Author), 201 Bowen Hall,456 Hardy Rd, Mississippi State, MS 39862 USA.

Legislative consolidation of a right is not always implemented in practice. This can be fully attributed to the situation in the sphere of equality of people of different sexes in the economy, including the sphere of public administration. The purpose of the article is to assess the status of women in the economy of modern Russia, based on the study of official statistics, as well as the possibility of women's participation in solving key problems of the development of society through representation in public authorities at different levels of government. Materials and Methods. The author analyzed data from Russian Federal State Statistics Service, publications of scientists involved in the study of the issue concerned, as well as materials from authoritative international organizations. The systemic approach, analysis and synthesis, the monographic method, content analysis, as well as the employed methods of economic and statistical analysis made it possible to identify the main trends in the changing status of women in the Russian labor market and public authorities at different levels of government. Results. The status of women in the Russian labor market and public authorities at the federal, regional and municipal levels has been characterized. Violation of the rights of women has been established in terms of remuneration when filling the same positions as men with equal amount of working time. It has been revealed that the representation of women in the highest bodies of state power lags behind the benchmark level of 30 \%, proclaimed by the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing and supported by the Russian Federation. Discussion and Conclusion. A conclusion has been drawn that women are underrepresented in senior government positions in the Russian Federation. In the Russian labor market, violation of women's rights is manifested in lower wages, despite higher overall level of education of women. The results may prove useful when conducting research in the field of gender equality, as well as when developing and implementing measures aimed at improving the status of women in the country's economy and ensuring their right to participate in making decisions important for the society.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Russian}, Affiliation = {Lipatova, LN (Corresponding Author), Russian Presidential Acad Natl Econ \& Publ Adm, North West Inst Management, Dept Econ, 57-43 Sredny Prospect VO, St Petersburg 199178, Russia.

It demonstrates that as transaction conditions are improved, the general equilibrium discontinuously jumps from autarky to partial division of labor with a dual structure, then to the complete division of labor where the dual structure disappears. Two types of dual structure may occur in the transitional stage of economic development and globalization. One of them involves the division of labor in the developed economy and autarky in the less developed economy, generating increasing disparity of per capita real income between the two types of economies. The other involves a domestic dual structure in the less developed economy, where the population is divided between a commercialized sector that trades with a foreign country and a self-sufficient sector that is not involved in trade. All gains from trade go to the developed economy. This paper shows that deterioration of a country's terms of trade and an increase of gains that this country receives from trade may concur, provided productivity progress from an expanded network of division of labor outpaces the deterioration of terms of trade. In the model with both endogenous and exogenous comparative advantages, a country may export a good with exogenous comparative disadvantage if endogenous comparative advantage dominates this exogenous comparative disadvantage. Implications of the findings for China's WTO membership and China's trade policy are explored. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Inc.

The project entailed teaching art techniques to 36 women participants and the active contribution of a large group of volunteers and research assistants. Women in the project were from various backgrounds but the majority were from Afghanistan. As such the project was conducted using multiple languages and a systematic collaboration among the research team members and between researchers and participants. This complex communication made the process of meaning-making of concept of home challenging. Three main challenges that were experienced in relation to this collaborative methodology have been identified and the strategies that were developed to address them are detailed. The three challenges in combining action research and arts methods that are discussed in this paper include: 1. Challenges about collective decision-making; 2. Challenges about the notions of progress and process; and 3. Challenges concerning stakeholders' scope of experience. The paper offers a pathway towards working in contentious research settings between academia and community-based organisations in project that include participants from different backgrounds and speak various languages. We offer insights into how both researchers and participants can learn from challenges in deploying collaborative methodologies such as art practice in action research. We show here that incorporating art practice is a transformative action even when it is seen as far from an essential skill or unnecessary. Such action-oriented practices in research are directly related to United Nations' sustainable development goals in reducing gender inequality and the opportunities that art practice can offer for quality education to marginalised groups in society.}, Type = {Article; Early Access}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Fathi, M (Corresponding Author), Univ Coll Dublin, Dept Levelling Housing \& Communities, Sch Sociol, Dublin, Ireland.

Findings The study revealed that informal female entrepreneurs tend to be both opportunity- and necessity-driven. Generating profit and contributing to the household income seems to be their main motive. Their businesses were funded either through personal savings or from their social network (e.g. husband, family and friends). Promotion of the business relied mostly on word-of-mouth or social media. High inflation, high competition, time pressures and lack of business skills were cited as the biggest challenges. Besides being content with the status quo, lack of knowledge about the procedures for registering a business and fear of bureaucracy were among the main reasons for not legalizing their activities. Originality/value There are very few studies that analyse informal micro-entrepreneurship in the Arab world, particularly in the Jordanian context, which is of growing interest due to low number of women in the workforce and the growing number of refugees in the country. This study therefore presents new knowledge around women's informal micro-entrepreneurship in Jordan and provides recommendations for further research and policy-making.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Caputo, A (Corresponding Author), Univ Lincoln, Lincoln Int Business Sch, Lincoln, England.

Purpose: We describe the development of an educational intervention using cultural-targeting strategies (i.e., linguistics, peripherals, evidence, socio-culture, and constituent-involving). Methods: After building capacity of community-based organization (CBO) leaders as research team members, we conducted 3 focus groups, 30 surveys, and a community review and program evaluation with African American men. Results: Focus group themes were (1) The Known and Unknown of Cancer, HPV, and the vaccine; (2) Personal experiences with cancer were commonplace; (3) Barriers to Engaging HPV Cancer Preventive Behaviors; (4) Multi-Modal Strategies are needed to improve preventive behaviors; and (5) Actual versus Preferred Sources of Information. Survey data indicated that men desired information on penile (52\%) and oral cancers (48\%). The preferred education format was a summit with speakers on various topics (96\%). Post-summit evaluation indicated majority of males intended to get screened (73\%), eat healthier (77\%), and exercise more (64\%). About 40\% reported getting themselves, children, or grandchildren the HPV vaccine. Discussion: Our program demonstrated acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy. This work warrants further study as a potential program to improve HPV preventive behaviors among African American men. Translation to Health Education Practice: Use of cultural-targeting strengthened our partnership and yielded an appropriate, possibly sustainable intervention.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Cunningham-Erves, J (Corresponding Author), Meharry Med Coll, Dept Internal Med, 1005 Dr DB Todd Jr Blvd, Nashville, TN 37208 USA.

Information about factors influencing their labor force participation could provide insight into how to increase employment rates. We selected persons with VI from the Survey of Income and Program Participation to investigate factors that differentiate persons out of the labor force (OLF) for chronic health or disability reasons from those employed and those OLF due to other reasons. Persons with VI and OLF for chronic health or disability reasons were more likely to have additional disabilities; have physical, mental, or other health limitations to work; and receive Supplemental Security Income or Social Security Disability Insurance. Compared with those employed, people with VI and OLF for chronic health or disability reasons appear to have multiple characteristics indicating poorer health, lower education attainment, and greater financial insecurity. Compared with those OLF due to other reasons, people with VI and OLF for chronic health or disability reasons were less likely to be female but more likely to receive food assistance and to indicate disadvantaged health status. These results suggest that skills to accommodate vision disability or health conditions are essential to employment or further education, and additional education may expand vocational options.

By JOSHUA EASTIN and ASEEM PRAKASH This research note examines the relationship between economic development and gender equality. Drawing on the concept of the Kuznets curve, the authors hypothesize that the relationship between economic development and gender inequality is curvilinear (S shaped), with three distinct stages. In the first stage, economic development improves gender equality because it enables greater female labor-force participation. An independent income stream increases women's intrahousehold bargaining power. The opportunity to develop human capital confers greater political and social recognition. In the second stage, labor-force stratification and gender discrimination encourage divergent male/female income trajectories, which decrease the opportunity costs of female labor-force withdrawal and lend traction to social resistance against burgeoning gender norms. Consequently, there is a deceleration in initial equality gains. In the final stage, gender equality again improves, as greater educational participation and technological advancement provide new employment opportunities for women, increase the opportunity costs of staying home, and encourage the evolution of new social institutions and norms that overcome prior discriminatory practices. The authors find support for this argument in statistical tests of the relationship between economic development and gender equality on a panel of 146 developing countries for the period 1980-2005. They employ four indicators that reflect distinct dimensions of women's political, social, and economic status. They find economic development positively influences gender equality when per capita incomes are below \$8,000-\$10,000. These equality gains level off or decline slightly in the second stage, from \$8,000-10,000 to about \$25,000-\$30,000. Beyond this level, economic development is again associated with improvements in gender equality. The key implication is that the effect of economic development on gender equality is contingent on the level of development. Policymakers and social activists should develop policy correctives to ensure that economic development confers improvements in gender equality across phases of development.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Eastin, J (Corresponding Author), Portland State Univ, Portland, OR 97207 USA.

We reviewed the literature across six sectors-family planning (FP); maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH); nutrition; agriculture; water, sanitation and hygiene; and financial services for the poor-and found 76 studies from low and middle-income countries that met our inclusion criteria. Across these studies, we identified common GEWE variables that emerged repeatedly as significant predictors of sector outcomes. We grouped these variables into 10 thematic categories, which we termed `gender-related levers'. These levers were then classified by the strength of evidence into Wedges, Foundations and Facilitators. Wedges are gender-related levers that had strong associations with improved outcomes across multiple sectors. They include: `control over income/assets/resources', `decision-making power' and `education'. Elements of these levers overlap, but combined, they encapsulate agency. Increasing female agency promotes equality and broadly improves health and development for women, their families and their communities. The second classification, Foundations, displayed strong, positive associations across FP, MNCH and nutrition. Foundations have a more proximal relationship with sector outcomes and include: `equitable interpersonal relationships', `mobility' and `personal safety'. Finally, the third group of levers, Facilitators, was associated with improved outcomes in two to three sectors and include: `access to information', `community groups', `paid labour' and `rights'. These levers make it easier for women and girls to achieve their goals and are more traditional elements of development programmes. Overall, gender-related levers were associated with improvements in a variety of health and development outcomes. Furthermore, these associations were cross-sectoral, suggesting that to fully realize the benefits of promoting GEWE, the development community must collaborate in co-ordinated and integrated ways across multiple sectors. More research is needed to identify the mechanisms by which gendered interventions work and under what circumstances.}, Type = {Review}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Levy, JK (Corresponding Author), WUSTL, Campus Box 1196,1 Brookings Dr, St Louis, MO 63140 USA.

It is assumed that employed mothers in paid work will be more empowered to opt for safer institutional deliveries. There is a need to understand the predictors of home deliveries in order to plan policies to encourage institutional deliveries in the region. Methods: The study aimed to ascertain the predictors for home deliveries among mothers employed in paid work in Pakistan. Data analysis is based on secondary data taken from the Pakistan Demographic Health Survey 2012-13. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were conducted. Results: The findings show that the majority (53.6\%) of employed mothers in Pakistan give birth at home. Employed mothers in paid work with the following characteristics had higher chances for delivering at home: (i) women from rural areas (AOR 1.26; 95\% CI: 0.94-1.71), or specific regions within Pakistan, (ii) those occupied in unskilled work (AOR 2.61; 95\% CI: 1.76-3.88), (iii) women married to uneducated (AOR 1.70; 95\% CI: 1.08-2.66), unemployed (AOR 1.69; 95\% CI: 1.21-2.35), or unskilled men (AOR 2.02; 95\% CI: 1.49-2.72), (iv) women with more than 7 children (AOR 1.57; 95\% CI: 1.05-2.35), (v) women who are unable in the prenatal period to have an institutional check-up (AOR 4.84; 95\% CI: 3.53-6.65), take assistance from a physician (AOR 3.98; 95\% CI: 3.03-5.20), have a blood analysis (AOR 2.63; 95\% CI: 1.95-3.57), urine analysis (AOR 2.48; 95\% CI: 1.84-3.33) or taken iron tablets (AOR 2.64; 95\% CI: 2.06-3.38), and (vi) are unable to make autonomous decisions with regard to spending their earnings (AOR 1.82; 95\% CI: 1.27-2.59) and healthcare (AOR 1.12; 95\% CI: 0.75-1.65). Conclusions: Greater efforts by the central and provincial state bodies are needed to encourage institutional deliveries and institutional access, quality and cost. Maternal and paternal benefits are needed for workers in both the formal and informal sectors of the economy. Finally, cultural change, through education, media and religious authorities, is necessary to support institutional deliveries and formal sector paid employment and out of home work opportunities for mothers of Pakistan.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Fischer, F (Corresponding Author), Bielefeld Univ, Sch Publ Hlth, Dept Publ Hlth Med, Bielefeld, Germany.

Existing literature suggests that early career publication success is a good indicator of long-term publication success. This research is intended to provide a better understanding of whether the notions of success espoused by neo-liberal universities align with the subjective measures of what constitutes academic success for women ECRs (early career researchers). Design/methodology/approach - The study examines the perceptions of nine successful women ECRs at an Australian university. It uses collaborative autoethnography with thematic analysis of participants' self-reflective narratives on being a successful ECR. Findings - Five themes were identified. One focussed on objective academic success, which included publications, grants and citations. The other four themes - living a balanced life, making a difference, labour of love and freedom and flexibility - offered more subjective views of success. These included: research making a contribution to society, undertaking research they are passionate about, having autonomy in their role and achieving work-life balance. Practical implications - The findings demonstrate that women define success in broader terms than neo-liberal universities, and future studies should consider these divergent definitions. Universities committed to equality should understand differences in how women may approach career progress and incorporate this into support processes and in alignment of individual and university goals. Originality/value - This research offers unique insights into the experience of post-doctoral employment for women in the academic environment and the factors influencing their success in this early career phase.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Reynolds, AC (Corresponding Author), CQUniv Australia, Appleton Inst, Wayville, Australia.

Design/methodology/approach - The study has used data of National Family Health Survey (NFHS) conducted in 1992-1993, 1998-1999 and 2005-2006. The information on anthropometric indicators for children below three years of age is provided; however the study is restricted to ``weight-for-age,{''} as it is considered to be a comprehensive indicator of child nutritional status. In the first stage of analysis, health inequalities are measured among malnourished children using concentration indices (CI) for each round of NFHS. In second stage, the inequalities are decomposed to estimate the proportional contribution of socioeconomic predictors. In the third stage, change in the relative contribution of socioeconomic predictors over three rounds is assessed to suggest target-specific policies and programs. Findings - The results highlight a slow decline of only seven percentage points in the proportion of malnourished children in India during 1992-2006. The increasing values of CIs from -0.13 (1992) to -0.18 (2006) demonstrates the concomitant rise in economic inequalities among malnourished children. The results of decomposition analysis point toward household poor economic status and mother's illiteracy as the major contributor of inequalities during 1992-2006. During the study period, the economic status explained 50, 65 and 59 percent of inequalities, whereas mother's illiteracy explained 40, 30 and 29 percent of inequalities, respectively. Overall, the contributors to health inequalities remained the same over time with a change in their relative contribution. Research limitations/implications - The present study is focussed on three rounds of NFHS data conducted at different time period and so it has certain limitations which should be kept in mind while interpreting the results. The study has revealed mother's education and economic status of the household as the major contributory factors toward child health inequalities. However, one should not forget that the level and quality of education has undergone tremendous change from 1992 to 2006 which the authors could not capture considering the availability of data in the form of years of schooling. Second, since the NFHS-1 has collected the information about the caste groups in only three categories, i.e. schedule caste, schedule tribe and others; the authors have to pool the other backward caste groups with the general caste groups. Third, the authors have used the broad classification of place of residence, i.e. rural and urban area to analyze the inequalities assuming the uniform level of development across the urban regions; however there exists huge disparities within urban areas which leave scope for further research. Fourth, though, the authors have estimated the wealth based inequalities, but NFHS does not provide the absolute level of wealth and so the authors have computed the proxy measure for wealth based on the household assets which has been extensively used in the field of research. Despite these limitations, the authors however believe that the present research work has appropriately decomposed the inequalities among malnourished children and have revealed the changes in the proportional contribution of socioeconomic factors over time. Practical implications - The decomposition analysis brought into light that average health indicators are insufficient for determining the right approach to health intervention programs. Health policy interventions have to focus ideally on both health averages and within and between group inequalities based on varying contributions of socioeconomic determinants. Social implications - Concentrated efforts along with the inter-sectoral concurrence, good nutrition governance, effective investment and unequal distribution of resources are pre-requisites to ameliorate the level and existing inequalities in child malnutrition in India. Originality/value - The distinctiveness of this study can be primarily found in the use of all three rounds of NFHS data to estimate health inequalities among underweight children. The study has also decomposed the health inequalities to estimate and analyze the change in relative contribution of socioeconomic predictors for each round to facilitate the formulation of target-specific policies and programs.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Prakash, M (Corresponding Author), Int Inst Populat Sci, Dept Populat Policies \& Programs, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.

The goal of this qualitative study was to collect the lived experiences of a small group of parents and lactation professionals in the United States about what it was like to feed babies human milk under these conditions of quarantine. Methods This project is a social constructionist analysis of lactation narratives of 24 parents feeding their children human milk and 13 lactation professionals. They were interviewed remotely in 2020-21 via videoconferencing about their experiences and perspectives on the pandemic's effect on lactation. Additionally, photographs of 16 of the parents are provided to visualize their practices and how they chose to represent them. Results Four interrelated themes were identified in participants' narratives about how they experienced and made sense of human milk feeding during the pandemic: the loneliness of lactation during the pandemic, the construction of human milk as a resource to cope with the crisis, the (in)visibility of lactation amidst heightened multitasking, and the sense of connection created by human milk feeding at a time of unprecedented solitude. Conclusions While the pandemic may have had both positive and negative effects on lactation, it exposed continuing inequities in infant feeding, generating new forms of (in)visibility for lactating labor. Going forward, one lesson for policy and lawmakers may be that to adequately support lactation, they should take cues from the families who had positive experiences during the crisis. This would call for systemically overhauling of US laws and policies by guaranteeing: universal basic income, paid parental leave for at least six months, paid lactation leaves and breaks, affordable housing, universal health care, subsidized childcare programs, and equal access to high-quality, non-discriminatory, and culturally appropriate medical care-including lactation counseling-, among other initiatives.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Cohen, M (Corresponding Author), Univ Connecticut, Sch Law, Hartford, CT 06105 USA.

Primary care practitioners are key to providing health care to trans and gender-diverse people but they often lack training in, and understanding of, trans identities and healthcare options. Few studies have examined health professionals' understanding of the barriers that exist in health care for trans and gender-diverse people. Aim To map out barriers to providing good-quality health care to trans and gender-diverse people, and explore ways to address them. Design and setting A qualitative interview study involving 20 health professionals working with young trans and gender-diverse people. Method Participants were recruited through purposive and snowball sampling. Data were generated using semi-structured qualitative interviews. A thematic analysis involved coding and categorising data using NVivo (version 12) software and further conceptual analysis in which developing themes were identified. Results Four barrier domains to good-quality care for trans and gender-diverse people were identified: structural (related to lack of guidelines, long waiting times, and shortage of specialist centres); educational (based on lack of training on trans health); cultural and social (reflecting negative attitudes towards trans people); and technical (related to information systems and technology). Conclusion There is an urgent need to address the barriers trans and gender-diverse people face in health care. Structural-level solutions include health policy, professional education, and standards; at the practice level, GPs can act as potential drivers of change in addressing the cultural and technical barriers to better meet the needs of their trans and gender-diverse patients.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Mikulak, M (Corresponding Author), Manchester Metropolitan Univ, Dept Social Care \& Social Work, Brooks Bldg,53 Bonsall St, Manchester M15 6GX, Lancs, England.

There is strong theoretical and empirical evidence for the association between strong national primary care systems and improved health indicators. The setting approach to promote health such as healthy schools, healthy cities also aims to address the determinants of health and build the capacity of individuals, families, and communities to create strong human and social capitals. The notion of human and social capitals begins to offer explanations why certain communities are unable to achieve better health than other communities with similar demography. In this paper, a review of studies conducted in different countries illustrate how a well-developed primary health care system would reduce all causes of mortalities, improve health status, reduce hospitalization, and be cost saving despite a disparity in socioeconomic conditions. The intervention strategy recommended in this paper is developing a model of comprehensive primary health care system by joining up different settings integrating the efforts of different parties within and outside the health sector. Different components of primary health care team would then work more closely with individuals and families and different healthy settings. This synergistic effect would help to strengthen human and social capital development. The model can then combine the efforts of upstream, midstream, and downstream approaches to improve population health and reduce health inequity. Otherwise, health would easily be jeopardized as a result of rapid urbanization.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Lee, A (Corresponding Author), Chinese Univ Hong Kong, Dept Community \& Family Med, Sch Publ Hlth, Prince Wales Hosp, 4th Floor, Shatin, Hong Kong, Peoples R China.

The two countries both have a high level of female labour market participation but have developed distinctively different welfare policies as concerns the emphasis placed on family vs. institutional care. In Norway, there has been a strong increase in subsidized public child care, and simultaneously fathers' roles as caretakers have been stressed both in public policies and discourse. The Czech Republic has experienced an opposite trend; maternity leave has been extended, public creches have almost vanished and public discourse has focused on the superiority of motherly care over public care. Framing our discussion within debates around naturalization, gendered subject positions and balance, we ask how - or to what extent -- such distinct discourses and policies influence the ways that young people come to envision their future life. Two different models of balance are applied: one which sees the individual as the balancing unit and the other taking relational dimensions into account. Some expected differences between the young Czechs and Norwegians are found, for example, with regards to articulations of male involvement in care work and female economic independence. Through the relational model of balance, we are also able to discover striking similarities between the two contexts, which demonstrate enduring gendered inequalities in perceived divisions of work-care responsibilities. Firstly, the girl career seeker - one who gives priority to career over family -- does not appear as an imaginable position neither among girls nor among boys. Moreover, there is a striking silence around the particularities of care-work as performed by women, something which suggests that aspects of care are still naturalized as female.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Haukanes, H (Corresponding Author), Univ Bergen, Dept Hlth Promot \& Dev, Bergen, Norway.

Socio-economic interventions, like livelihood and employability programmes, address HIV vulnerabilities like poverty and gender inequality. We explored the HIV-sensitivity of socio-economic interventions for unemployed and out-of-school young women aged 15 to 30 years, in East and Southern Africa, a key population for HIV infection. Methods We conducted a systematic review using a narrative synthesis method and the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool for quality appraisal. Interventions of interest were work skills training, microfinance, and employment support. Outcomes of interest were socio-economic outcomes (income, assets, savings, skills, (self-) employment) and HIV-related outcomes (behavioural and biological). We searched published and grey literature (January 2005 to November 2019; English/French) in MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science and websites of relevant international organizations. Results We screened 3870 titles and abstracts and 188 full-text papers to retain 18 papers, representing 12 projects. Projects offered different combinations of HIV-sensitive social protection programmes, complemented with mentors, safe space and training (HIV, reproductive health and gender training). All 12 projects offered work skills training to improve life and business skills. Six offered formal (n = 2) or informal (n = 5) livelihood training. Eleven projects offered microfinance, including microgrants (n = 7), microcredit (n = 6) and savings (n = 4). One project offered employment support in the form of apprenticeships. In general, microgrants, savings, business and life skills contributed improved socio-economic and HIV-related outcomes. Most livelihood training contributed positive socio-economic outcomes, but only two projects showed improved HIV-related outcomes. Microcredit contributed little to either outcome. Programmes were effective when (i) sensitive to beneficiaries' age, needs, interests and economic vulnerability; (ii) adapted to local implementation contexts; and (iii) included life skills. Programme delivery through mentorship and safe space increased social capital and may be critical to improve the HIV-sensitivity of socio-economic programmes. Conclusions A wide variety of livelihood and employability programmes were leveraged to achieve improved socio-economic and HIV-related outcomes among unemployed and out-of-school young women. To be HIV-sensitive, programmes should be designed around their interests, needs and vulnerability, adapted to local implementation contexts, and include life skills.

It is therefore troubling that this same corporate and business sector has come to dominate positions on the boards of directors of civil society organizations with missions to reduce household food insecurity. Fisher uses the term `Big Hunger' to describe how this `hunger-industrial complex' of food banks, food diversion schemes and corporations and companies are accruing benefits to themselves yet do little to reduce household food insecurity. We consider such processes as illustrating two key political economy concepts: (1) Marx's concepts of base and superstructure and (2) Gramsci's cultural hegemony. We carry out a critical case study of the relevance of these concepts to the Canadian household food insecurity scene by examining how the corporate and business sector now dominates the boards of directors of four major civil society organizations concerned with reducing household food insecurity. We find evidence of these civil society organizations Corresponding exhibiting agenda distortion, reciprocity and loss of integrity, all reflecting their becoming part of the superstructure of capitalist society whose ruling elites come to dominate the ideas and values of society. Issues of wages, unionization and collective agreement bargaining, taxes and taxation, income inequality and retrenchment of the welfare state - all important contributors to household food insecurity and key concerns of the corporate and business community - are for the most part absent from these civil society organizations' reports, documents and statements.

We aimed to elucidate content domains in this scholarship's citation network. In addition, we explored a citation-based genealogy of this scholarship, attending to the representation of women of color identified in prior critical analyses of intersectionality scholarship as key but under-acknowledged contributors to intersectional thought and praxis. We used CitNetExplorer to analyze a network of 17,332 records and 60,132 citation links. The analysis yielded 17 clusters, with the five largest clusters focusing on (1) conceptualizing intersectionality theory, methodology, and analysis; (2) psychology, identity stigma, and multiple minority statuses; (3) sociology of gender inequality, labor markets, and organizations; (4) political science, political systems and policy, including in the European context; and (5) violence against women, gender and health, and health equity. Although some of the key women of color contributors to intersectional thought were among the most cited authors in the network, others were cited infrequently or not at all across the network and clusters. Taken together, the analyses revealed substantial and ongoing engagement with efforts to define and refine intersectionality as epistemology and methodology. However, the analyses pointed to the need for scholars to reengage with, cite, and follow the examples of the women of color who contributed to intersectional thought by actually doing intersectional praxis that directly advances social justice aims. Some of the smaller clusters in the citation network reflected content domains, such as environmental justice and community planning, ripe for such activist-scholar work.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Moradi, B (Corresponding Author), Univ Florida, Dept Psychol, POB 112250, Gainesville, FL 32611 USA.

This study analyzes the rate of new HIV infections over almost 30 years in low- and middle-income countries. Previous research identifies two critical ways to address HIV prevention in developing countries: educating women and using mobile phones to improve health literacy and access to virtual healthcare. Our study bridges these literatures by evaluating how women's education and mobile technology work together to support the goals of HIV prevention in low- and middle-income countries. Using two-way panel fixed effects regression models of HIV incidence across 76 developing countries, we find that both increasing access to women's education and increasing access to mobile phones are associated with fewer HIV infections over time. Furthermore, we discover that women's education moderates the relationship between mobile phones and HIV. More specifically, mobile phones seem to be more beneficial for HIV prevention in cases where rates of formal schooling are low. However, at higher levels of women's education, the impact of mobile phones on new HIV infections is substantially reduced.

As a result, health and social care organizations currently promote cultural competence of their workforce as a means of addressing persistent poor experiences and outcomes. At present, there are unsystematic and diverse ways of promoting cultural competence, and their impact on clinician skills and patient outcomes is unknown. We developed and implemented an innovative model, cultural consultation service (CCS), to promote cultural competence of clinicians and directly improve on patient experiences and outcomes from care. CCS model is an adaptation of the McGill model, which uses ethnographic methodology and medical anthropological knowledge. The method and approach not only contributes both to a broader conceptual and dynamic understanding of culture, but also to learning of cultural competence skills by healthcare professionals. The CCS model demonstrates that multidisciplinary workforce can acquire cultural competence skills better through the clinical encounter, as this promotes integration of learning into day-to-day practice. Results indicate that clinicians developed a broader and patient-centred understanding of culture, and gained skills in narrative-based assessment method, management of complexity of care, competing assumptions and expectations, and clinical cultural formulation. AbstractCultural competence is defined as a set of skills, attitudes and practices that enable the healthcare professionals to deliver high-quality interventions to patients from diverse cultural backgrounds. Improving on the cultural competence skills of the workforce has been promoted as a way of reducing ethnic and racial inequalities in service outcomes. Currently, diverse models for training in cultural competence exist, mostly with no evidence of effect. We established an innovative narrative-based cultural consultation service in an inner-city area to work with community mental health services to improve on patients' outcomes and clinicians' cultural competence skills. We targeted 94 clinicians in four mental health service teams in the community. After initial training sessions, we used a cultural consultation model to facilitate in vivo' learning. During cultural consultation, we used an ethnographic interview method to assess patients in the presence of referring clinicians. Clinicians' self-reported measure of cultural competence using the Tool for Assessing Cultural Competence Training (n=28, at follow-up) and evaluation forms (n=16) filled at the end of each cultural consultation showed improvement in cultural competence skills. We conclude that cultural consultation model is an innovative way of training clinicians in cultural competence skills through a dynamic interactive process of learning within real clinical encounters.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Owiti, JA (Corresponding Author), Queen Mary Univ London, Wolfson Inst Prevent Med, Ctr Psychiat, Charterhouse Sq,Old Anat Bldg, London EC1M 6BQ, England.

They noted a broader outlook about the meaning of employment; moving from a narrow, financial-focused, short-term perception to a longer-term, more holistic view of work. Although student participants reported high confidence levels for obtaining and keeping employment by programme completion, mentors voiced concerns about realism of their goals due to employment barriers for people with disabilities.

Given that the emergency department is often the first point of entry to healthcare following a suicide attempt, it would be beneficial for community providers to have knowl-edge of the characteristics, medical issues, and effective treat-ments most often associated with those having served in the military to ensure guideline concordant and quality suicide care. This study aimed to identify assessment and referral prac-tices of emergency departments at rural community hospitals related to care for suicidal veterans and explore the feasibility and acceptability of identifying veterans in need of postdi-scharge aftercare. Methods: This qualitative exploratory study involved content analysis of semistructured interviews. Ten emergency clinicians from 5 rural Arkansas counties with high suicide rates were interviewed about their experiences working with suicidal patients within the emergency department and perceptions assessment, management, and referral practices. Results: Although most of the emergency departments had process for assessing for suicide risk, emergency clinicians not always feel confident in their knowledge of assessing caring for suicidal patients. Military history was not included in assessment, treatment, or aftercare planning, nor were brief interventions such as safety planning or lethal means safety education provided. Discussion: Best practices for suicide assessment and man- agement of veterans exist; however, challenges specific to the emergency department regarding staff training and engaging the community to effectively link at-risk veterans to needed care hinder implementation.

Based on 30 interviews with employees of food justice non-profit organizations, social enterprises, and government agencies, I argue that activists promote food-based entrepreneurship to create employment and business opportunities for long-term residents that enables them to stay in their hometown. In doing so, the contributions of long-standing communities to Oakland's diverse food cultures are highlighted.

We assessed the extent to which neo-liberal policies and practices are associated with population health at the national level. We collected data on 119 countries between 1980 and 2004. We measured neo-liberalism using the Fraser Institute's Economic Freedom of the World (EFW) Index, which gives an overall score as well as a score for each of five different aspects of neo-liberal economic practices: (1) size of government, (2) legal structure and security of property rights, (3) access to sound money, (4) freedom to exchange with foreigners and (5) regulation of credit, labor and business. Our measure of population health was under-five mortality. We controlled for potential mediators (income distribution, social capital and openness of political institutions) and confounders (female literacy, total population, rural population, fertility, gross domestic product per capita and time period). In longitudinal multivariable analyses, we found that the EFW index did not have an effect on child mortality but that two of its components: improved security of property rights and access to sound money were associated with lower under-five mortality (p = 0.017 and p = 0.024, respectively). When stratifying the countries by level of income, less regulation of credit, labor and business was associated with lower under-five mortality in high-income countries (p = 0.001). None of the EFW components were significantly associated with under-five mortality in low-income countries. This analysis suggests that the concept of `neo-liberalism' is not a monolithic entity in its relation to health and that some `neo-liberal' policies are consistent with improved population health. Further work is needed to corroborate or refute these findings.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Galea, S (Corresponding Author), Univ Michigan, Ctr Global Hlth, 109 Observ St,Room 3663, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 USA.

Combining regional disparities of access to school with the timing of the program, I adopt a difference-in-difference approach. To estimate the returns to education for the entire population and not only for wage workers, I use a two-sample estimation approach to predict consumption for every household and find that education increases predicted consumption for household heads working in every sector. I also provide evidence that education increases the probability of working in agriculture for women. These results, at first surprising, suggest that education may influence the structural trans-formation and that returns to education are positive in agriculture, provided that skills taught at school are consistent with agriculture.

Ten focus groups were held with 39 ESs from four categories of SE organizations in Sweden. Topic analysis was applied to the transcribed material from the focus groups.ResultsFive themes with different social representations about gender and disability in relation to VR and working life formed in the analysis: (1) differences in personal and health factors among VR-participants, (2) gender norms in society influencing VR, (3) energy-intensive environmental issues influencing VR, (4) gender-specific interactions in VR, and (5) gendered paths in the welfare system.ConclusionSocial representations of higher strains on women with disabilities compared to men with disabilities both in private and working life, which reflect the lived experiences of the ESs, is a possible explanation for gender differences in VR and working life for persons with disabilities.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONGender differences in the outcomes of vocational rehabilitation (VR) interventions have been noticed worldwide. In this study, pervasive social representations about gender and disability in relation to VR were found, but also unconsciousness about gender among VR professionals. Therefore, awareness of gender is necessary in VR.Individualized and person-centered approaches to VR like Supported Employment, although considered best practice, might hide structures like gender, which could lead to reproducing discriminating processes and therefore not achieving gender equality in VR. Therefore, knowledge of discrimination is important in VR.Gender-sensitivity in vocational rehabilitation models with a person-centered and individualized approach is needed and there might also be a need to systematically tailor vocational rehabilitation models to reach gender equality in the outcomes of the interventions. Therefore, gender equality indicators are needed for VR models, to evaluate model effectiveness from a gender perspective.}, Type = {Article; Early Access}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Witte, I (Corresponding Author), Orebro Univ, Sch Hlth Sci, Orebro, Sweden.

We hence developed a short educational intervention, Fex-Talk, to overcome the barriers to communicate about sexuality and fertility. The present study sought to evaluate the Fex-Talk intervention, which aims to enhance nurses' readiness to discuss fertility and sexuality issues with cancer patients. The educational intervention involves a single session with an optional follow-up session, and it includes different components in accordance with Kolb's experiential learning cycle. The evaluation was based on participants' oral and written feedback regarding the content and organization of the intervention, as well as on teachers' field notes from five educational events involving nurses who work with cancer patients (n = 140). The data were analyzed using a thematic approach. Four themes were identified, namely increased awareness, need for knowledge, challenging discomfort, and dealing with external obstacles. The intervention increased participants' awareness of patients' need to discuss sexuality and fertility and of their own need for additional knowledge. The role-play exercise was said to challenge personal discomfort, although the participants still felt it helped to boost their courage to, in the future, engage in such conversations. Several external obstacles to initiate a conversation about sexuality or fertility were identified, and possible strategies for overcoming them were discussed. In conclusion, the Fex-Talk intervention was experienced positively by the participating nurses. The results indicate that the intervention increased nurses' understanding of patients' needs related to sex and fertility and overcome barriers to initiate discussions about sex and fertility with patients.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Winterling, J (Corresponding Author), Karolinska Inst, Dept Neurobiol Care Sci \& Soc, SE-14183 Huddinge, Sweden.

Peer support is strongly advocated as a strategy in a number of UK health and social care policies. Approaches to employing Peer Workers are proliferating. There is evidence to suggest that Peer Worker-based interventions reduce psychiatric inpatient admission and increase service user (consumer) empowerment. In this paper we seek to address a gap in the empirical literature in understanding the organisational challenges and benefits of introducing Peer Worker roles into mental health service teams. Methods: We report the secondary analysis of qualitative interview data from service users, Peer Workers, non-peer staff and managers of three innovative interventions in a study about mental health self-care. Relevant data was extracted from interviews with 41 participants and subjected to analysis using Grounded Theory techniques. Organisational research literature on role adoption framed the analysis. Results: Peer Workers were highly valued by mental health teams and service users. Non-peer team members and managers worked hard to introduce Peer Workers into teams. Our cases were projects in development and there was learning from the evolutionary process: in the absence of formal recruitment processes for Peer Workers, differences in expectations of the Peer Worker role can emerge at the selection stage; flexible working arrangements for Peer Workers can have the unintended effect of perpetuating hierarchies within teams; the maintenance of protective practice boundaries through supervision and training can militate against the emergence of a distinctive body of peer practice; lack of consensus around what constitutes peer practice can result in feelings for Peer Workers of inequality, disempowerment, uncertainty about identity and of being under-supported. Conclusions: This research is indicative of potential benefits for mental health service teams of introducing Peer Worker roles. Analysis also suggests that if the emergence of a distinctive body of peer practice is not adequately considered and supported, as integral to the development of new Peer Worker roles, there is a risk that the potential impact of any emerging role will be constrained and diluted.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Gillard, SG (Corresponding Author), Univ London, London, England.

Traditional mothers provide some informal child care, whereas career mothers purchase full time formal care. The sorting of women across career paths is endogenous and shaped by a social norm about gender roles in the family. Via this social norm traditional mothers' informal child care imposes an externality on career mothers, so that the market outcome is inefficient. Informal care is too large and the group of career mothers is too small so that inefficiency and gender inequality go hand in hand. In a first-best world redistribution across couples and efficiency are separable. Redistribution is performed via lump-sum transfers and taxes which are designed to equalize utilities across all couples. The efficient allocation of child care is obtained by subsidizing formal care at a Pigouvian rate. However, in a second-best setting, a trade-off between efficiency and redistribution emerges. The optimal uniform subsidy is lower than the ``Pigouvian{''} level. Conversely, under a nonlinear policy the first-best ``Pigouvian{''} rule for the (marginal) subsidy on informal care is reestablished. While the share of high career mothers continues to be distorted downward for incentive reasons, this policy is effective in reconciling the objectives of reducing the child care related inefficiency and achieving a more equal income distribution across couples. Our results continue to hold when the norm is defined within the mothers' social group, rather than being based on the entire population. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the gross structural inequities that drive health disparities, and antiracism demonstrations remind us that the struggle for human rights continues. Increased public awareness and discussion of disparities present an urgent opportunity to advance health equity. However, it is more complicated to change the behavior of individuals and reform systems because societies are polarized into different factions that increasingly believe, accept, and live different realities. To reduce health disparities, clinicians must (1) truly commit to advancing health equity and intentionally act to reduce health disparities; (2) create a culture of equity by looking inwards for personal bias and outwards for the systemic biases built into their everyday work processes; (3) implement practical individual, organizational, and community interventions that address the root causes of the disparities; and (4) consider their roles in addressing social determinants of health and influencing healthcare payment policy to advance health equity. To care for diverse populations in 2021, clinicians must have self-insight and true understanding of heterogeneous patients, knowledge of evidence-based interventions, ability to adapt messaging and approaches, and facility with systems change and advocacy. Advancing health equity requires both science and art; evidence-based roadmaps and stories that guide the journey to better outcomes, judgment that informs how to change the behavior of patients, providers, communities, organizations, and policymakers, and passion and a moral mission to serve humanity.}, Type = {Review}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Chin, MH (Corresponding Author), Univ Chicago, Sect Gen Internal Med, 5841 South Maryland Ave,MC2007, Chicago, IL 60637 USA.

Finally, it discusses the progress - and related challenges - in implementing policies that can disentangle the gender and social inequalities embedded in them. I argue that the breakthrough in LGBTTI rights is situated in the persistent continuity of the sexual division of labor established through labor regulations aimed at working parents.

Gender and racial inequities in executive-level positions across North America have been a long-standing debate amongst scholars and policy makers. Research has consistently documented that women are disproportionately represented in upper management and in positions of power and still continue to dominate traditionally ``female{''} occupations, such as administrative support and service workers. Though gender inequalities are evidently present, there is also a clear under-representation of visible minorities holding executive-level positions as well. In order to reverse these trends, governments across North-America have enforced employment equity legislation and many organizations have voluntarily committed to similar initiatives. Perceived educational and career-related barriers to opportunity, choice, and information within these segregated groups are shaped early on. For this reason, many researchers champion early interventional programs in order to prevent such perceived barriers from developing. In this paper, there will be a thorough discussion on social networks and how certain groups are denied access to sources of social capital, thus hindering their ability to seek out prospective jobs or entering certain career streams.

The authors examined the impact of coordinated specialty care on receipt of such benefits in first-episode psychosis, along with the correlates and consequences of receiving them. Method: The Recovery After an Initial Schizophrenia Episode Early Treatment Program (RAISE-ETP) study, a 34-site cluster randomized trial, compared NAVIGATE, a coordinated specialty care program, to usual community care over 2 years. Receipt of SSA benefits and clinical outcomes were assessed at program entry and every 6 months for 2 years. Piecewise regression analysis was used to identify relative change in outcome trajectories after receipt of disability benefits. Results: Among 399 RAISE-ETP participants, 36 (9\%) were receiving SSA disability benefits at baseline; of the remainder, 124 (34.1\%) obtained benefits during the 2-year study period. The NAVIGATE intervention improved quality of life, symptoms, and employment but did not significantly reduce the likelihood of receiving SSA disability benefits. Obtaining benefits was predicted by more severe psychotic symptoms and greater dysfunction and was followed by increased total income but fewer days of employment, reduced motivation (e.g., sense of purpose, greater anhedonia), and fewer days of intoxication. Conclusions: A 2-year coordinated specialty care intervention did not reduce receipt of SSA disability benefits. There were some advantages for those who obtained SSA disability benefits over the 2-year treatment period, but there were also some unintended adverse consequences.

Although emergency medicine (EM) residents work frequent night shifts, there is no existing guidance for residency program directors (PDs) regarding scheduling pregnant residents. Our study assessed scheduling practices for pregnant EM residents, differences based on program and PD characteristics, barriers and attitudes toward implementing a formal scheduling policy, and PDs' awareness of literature describing adverse effects of night shifts on maternal-fetal outcomes. MethodsWe conducted an anonymous, web-based survey of U.S. EM residencies (N = 276). Quantitative data were summarized; chi-square analysis and logistic regression were used to assess relationships between program and PD characteristics and schedule accommodations. Qualitative description was used to analyze an open-ended question, organizing findings into major and minor themes. ResultsOf the 167 completed surveys (response rate 61\%), 67\% of programs reported no formal policy for scheduling pregnant residents but made adjustments on an individual basis including block changes (85\%), decreased (46\%) or no night shifts (34\%), and working shifts earlier in pregnancy to cover later shifts (20\%). Barriers to adjustments included staffing constraints (60\%), equity concerns (45\%), or impact on wellness (41\%) among all residents and privacy (28\%). PDs endorsed scheduling adjustments as important (mean 8.1, 0-10 scale) and reported guidance from graduate medical education governance would be useful (60\%). Larger program size, but not PD gender or proportion of female residents, was associated with an increased likelihood of scheduling modifications. Twenty-five percent of PDs reported little knowledge of literature regarding night shift work and pregnancy. Qualitative themes supported quantitative findings. ConclusionsMost EM residency programs do not have formal scheduling policies for pregnant residents, but most PDs support making adjustments and do so informally. More education and guidance for PDs are needed to promote the development of formal policies.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {MacVane, CZ (Corresponding Author), Tufts Univ, Maine Med Ctr, Dept Emergency Med, Sch Med, 22 Bramhall St, Portland, ME 04102 USA.

Objective: The aim was to use early-career members of The Endocrine Society as a model to estimate subspecialty physician involvement in patient care, teaching, research, and administration among clinical, academic, federal, and pharmaceutical/biotech workplaces and to assess the workforce for research within individual workplaces. Methods: Physicians joining The Endocrine Society from 1991-2005 and residing in North America were invited to complete a Web-based survey. This report relies on 817 early-career endocrinologists or 29.6\% of eligible respondents. Results: Respondents from all types of workplaces engaged in patient care, teaching, research, and administration. The time committed to the four tasks, however, differed significantly among workplaces. Research (basic, translational, disease, patient, population, and prevention) was accomplished within all workplaces, but the scope and scale of investigative work was employer dependent. Recipients of National Institutes of Health K08/23 awards succeeded in receiving federal research project grants (P < 0.001). Respondents associated research with lowered incomes, a perception validated by an estimated drop in annual earnings of 2.8\% per half-day spent on research (P < 0.001). Women in academic settings earned less than men (P < 0.01) and were less likely to occupy tenure-eligible positions (P < 0.01). Conclusions: Web-based surveys offer a simple tool for estimating the work of subspecialty physicians and provide a framework for improving biomedical investigation. Several interventions should be considered for endocrinology: recruit physicians from underrepresented demographic groups, increase K08/23 awards, incentivize investigative careers, and improve the national infrastructure for biomedical research.

Most European Union (EU) countries witnessed a significant increase in part-time jobs. This type of employment and its working conditions may have a negative impact on the health and well-being of workers, especially women. The aims of this paper are: 1) to determine whether there are differences in levels of part-time workers' health and well-being by gender for the EU as a whole as well as for each European country individually, and 2) to ascertain which determinants impact female part-time workers' health and well-being. A Synthetic Health and Well-being Indicator (SHWI) was designed using the measure of P-2 distance approach as a methodological tool. In order to explore the determinants for female part-timers, linear regressions were used adopting a multilevel analysis based on data from the 2010 European Working Conditions Survey. The main results show that female part-time workers display lower levels of health and well-being than their male counterparts in the EU. Factors such as the nature of the work, difficulty making ends meet, perceived job insecurity, social support and work-life balance play an essential role in levels of female part-timers' health and well-being. We may conclude that, in addition to greater institutional support for the inclusion of women in the labour market, changes in public policies designed to improve working conditions (better schedules and a greater presence of non-manual skilled jobs) coupled with changes in family policy, could play a key role in reducing gender differences.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Merino-Llorente, MC (Corresponding Author), Univ Valladolid, Valladolid, Spain.

We develop a model for the regional growth pattern of the Chinese economy during the period, characterized by foreign direct investment (FDI) and mobilization of rural surplus labor. The FDI and labor migration are directed by the differentials in the expected returns from the capital investment and in the wage rate. The differentials are, to a large extent, explained by geographic factors. In the context of market reforms and the open-door policy, the spatial and topographic advantages of the coastal provinces are realized. As a result, the returns to the capital investment in the coastal provinces are higher than in the rest of the country, thus attracting more FDIs and migrant labor into the region and causing the growth disparity. Our empirical test supports this hypothesis. It finds that geographic factors are statistically significant in explaining the regional disparity in China. This disparity is mainly a coast versus noncoast gap. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc.

Research dating from 1957 to 2016 inferred hiring agents' beliefs were the cause. In this multiple regression study, the nature of the relationship between hiring agents' beliefs and their selection of qualified autistic candidates was explored through Ajzen's theory of planned behavior to determine what hiring agent's beliefs, if any, influence the selection of qualified autistic candidates to fill open positions. I used the Hiring Agent Survey Regarding Selection of Qualified Autistic Candidates to anonymously gather data from hiring agents throughout the contiguous United States. Known values of the independent variable, the beliefs influencing hiring agents, were summed and clustered against the TPB-predicted, percentage-based, continuous-level dependent variable, which was hiring agents' selection of qualified autistic candidates. This statistically significant regression analysis, F(45, 73) = 36.067, p < .001, adj. R-2 = .930, predicted the degree to which each control, normative, and behavioral belief influenced hiring agents' selection.

We also find that receiving certain types of workplace accommodations, such as help with transportation, flexible work schedules, or a personal care attendant, is positively correlated with being employed at the time of the survey.

In this welfare model, individuals have basic rights to welfare services and social transfers independently of their ability to pay, their labour-market history, etc. The financial viability of the model relies on a high tax burden and a high level of labour-force participation for males and females. Evaluated on the basis of international comparisons of income levels and inequality, the model has performed well. In a forward-looking perspective, however, the welfare model faces problems that may put the financial viability of the model at risk. Two important challenges are demographic changes and the so-called growth dilemma (increased demand for services and leisure). We discuss these issues using Denmark as an example and argue that while these two challenges may be of the same order of magnitude, it is easier to propose solutions to the demographic challenges than to the growth dilemma which are consistent with the basic principles of the welfare state.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Andersen, TM (Corresponding Author), Aarhus Univ, DK-8000 Aarhus C, Denmark.

The paper deals with the topic of gender equality perception in Slovakia. As an EU member since May 2004, Slovakia has introduced many anti discriminatory measures as a part of the accession process. An important part in the evaluation of the success rate of such measures is the collection of gender sensitive data. This study works with such data collected by a project supported by the EQUAL initiative. A comparison of public opinion perception of gender based inequalities in the Slovak labour market between 2002 and 2006 shows a relatively stable picture although some shifts towards the more ``household work doing men{''} and a dual career family can be observed. Even though the feeling that women assert their rights more is stronger then in 2002 some paradoxes do exist. Contrary to the EU average the public opinion in Slovakia sees the NGOs and the EU as the combatants of the discrimination rather than the national governments or the parliament. The article concludes with an appeal for collecting of sex segregated data and gender statistics as it sees them being essential for social theory building as well as for better social policy decisions.

There is a growing literature on social assistance policies in the Global South, but this literature largely focuses on economic and demographic factors, underestimating the importance of contentious politics. The case of Mexico shows that social assistance programs are disproportionately directed to indigenous populations, leading to diminished protest participation. Drawing on data from the 2010, 2012 and 2014 rounds of the Latin American Public Opinion Project, we apply multivariate regression analysis to examine the determinants of social assistance program participation in Mexico. Our study finds that after controlling for income, household size, age, education, and employment status, indigenous ethnic identity is a key determinant in who benefits from social assistance in Mexico. Our results show that high ethnic disparity in social assistance is not only due to higher poverty rates among the indigenous population. Rather, indigenous people receive more social assistance mainly because of their ethnic identity. In addition, this study demonstrates that indigenous people who benefit from social assistance programs are less likely to join anti-government protests. We argue that this ethnic targeting in social assistance is a result of the fact that indigenous unrest has become a political threat for Mexican governments since the 1990s. These results yield substantive support in arguing that the Mexican government uses social assistance to contain indigenous unrest. The existing literature, which is dominated by structuralist explanations, needs to strongly consider the contentious political drivers of social assistance provision in the Global South for a full grasp of the phenomenon. Social assistance in Mexico is driven by social unrest and this suggests that similar ethnic, racial, religious and contentious political factors should be examined in other developing countries to understand social assistance provisions.

We describe the development of a framework for addressing cancer care disparities across the cancer care continuum (CCC), guided by the CCC domains established by the Institute of Medicine/National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (IOM/NAS). MATERIALS AND METHODS An environmental scan was conducted to identify strategies and associated experts who are providing or have successfully provided community- and/or patient-centric IOM/NAS-defined domain standards to our target populations. A multistakeholder expert roundtable working group was convened for framework development. A premeeting survey informed agenda development, documented expert practices for target populations, and identified priority areas for meeting focus. RESULTS The environmental scan identified 84 unique experts across 8 stakeholder groups and 44 patient organizations; 50 were invited to the roundtable and 33 participated. They broadly represented disease sites, geography, and experience with target populations and all CCC domains. The premeeting survey (16 responses) identified coordination of care or patient navigation (66.7\%), community engagement (60.0\%), and healthcare system changes (53.3\%) as priority focus areas. The experts identified access and treatment barriers or gaps within and between CCC domains, specified key notable practices to address these, and developed an actionable framework and recommendations for each priority focus area. CONCLUSION The framework and recommendations are intended to guide researchers, healthcare leaders, advocates, community- and patient-focused service organizations, and policy leaders to address and promote health equity in cancer care access and treatment outcomes.

However, most MBIs have primarily been used with middle-or upper-class White populations, with some instances where they have been adapted for use with diverse populations (e.g., Burnett-Zeigler et al., 2016; Roth \& Robbins, 2004). However, even when adapted, most MBIs have not explicitly addressed unique factors faced by the target population, such as racial discrimination, unemployment, lack of financial means, and other stressors. We developed and used an iterative approach to refine a MBI group based on MBSR and MBCT, for a racially and ethnically diverse population in the Bronx, considered by the U.S. census to be the most diverse in the country. Based on a trauma-informed care and centering people of color approach, we developed a longer than usual (16 weeks) mindfulness-based group, where core skills were broken down into smaller chunks to facilitate easier incorpo-ration into daily life. We also used a longer duration and 1-hour weekly meeting time keeping in mind needs of the indi-viduals, who often had limited time to participate due to work limitations and other comorbid physical conditions. While acknowledging that the individuals this group was catering to had experienced multiple traumatic events, we sought to also highlight and further develop the resilience and courage people in the Bronx community bring to the table.

However, little is known about whether reductions actually occur. National quality improvement activities targeting hemodialysis patients provide an opportunity to examine this issue. Objective To determine the effect of quality improvement efforts on race and sex disparities among hemodialysis patients. Design, Setting, and Subjects Longitudinal study of 58700 randomly selected hemodialysis patients from throughout the United States in 1993 through 2000. Intervention Medicare-funded quality improvement project involving monitoring of patient outcomes, feedback of performance data, and education of clinicians at dialysis centers. Main Outcome Measures Changes in hemodialysis dose (Kt/V), anemia management (hemoglobin level), and nutritional status (albumin level). Results The proportion of all patients with an adequate hemodialysis dose increased 2-fold. In 1993, 46\% of white patients and 36\% of black patients received an adequate hemodialysis dose compared with 2000 when the proportions were 87\% and 84\%, respectively. Thus, the gap between white and black patients decreased from 10\% to 3\% (P<.001). The gap between female and male patients decreased from 23\% to 9\% over the same period (P=.008). The proportion of all patients with adequate hemoglobin levels increased 3-fold. The proportion of all patients with adequate albumin levels remained unchanged. Race and sex disparities in anemia management and nutritional status did not change significantly. Conclusions Quality improvement efforts have a variable impact on race and sex disparities in health outcomes.

This has influenced getting back to the concept of basic income, which seeks to transcend from a welfare vision of the state into an equitable society that guarantees the well-being of its population. The objective of this work is to carry out an ex ante evaluation of the effects on poverty and inequality of the implementation of basic income in Ecuador. The methodology consists of a microsimulation exercise based on the Enemdu (Instituto Nacional de Estadistica y Censos {[}INEC], 2019). The results indicate that by assigning a monthly transfer equal to the value of the income poverty line for adults and 30\% for minors, income poverty would decrease from 25 to 6\%; the middle tier would ascend to half of the population, and the Gini coefficient would decrease from 0.473 to 0.391. This represents a cost of 12.5\% of gross domestic product (GDP), with a need for financing through additional resources of 51\%.

This study uses household panel data collected in 2008 and 2013, combined with a mixed methodology to examine the regional and gender disparities, as well as the determinants of change in livelihood diversification in the agricultural regions of Nyeri and Kakamega in rural Kenya. The study period was characterised by important structural changes in the composition and sources of household cash incomes, with farm incomes declining significantly, pushing female headed households into absolute poverty. Whereas the contribution of nonfarm income to total household cash incomes increased significantly, especially in Kakamega. The econometric results show that there is a positive and significant relationship between changes in household asset wealth and changes in livelihood diversification at the regional level, implying that diversification is mainly an accumulation strategy for wealthier farm households. In addition, changes in livelihood diversification are significantly correlated with the initial level of diversification, household demographic characteristics such as age, gender, education level, and hiring labour. Furthermore, increased access to agricultural input credit and more secure land rights seem to promote specialisation in farming rather than diversification. Whereas poverty has a negative and significant effect on change in livelihood diversification. The results have implications for development policy in rural Kenya highlighting the need to harness the positive aspects of livelihood diversification for poverty reduction, while reducing the negative effects on poorer households by reducing asset entry barriers into remunerative activities.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Loison, SA (Corresponding Author), Lund Univ, Dept Human Geog, Geoctr 1,Solvegatan 10, SE-22362 Lund, Sweden.

It is operationalised using 157 weekly activity-travel diaries data collected from three case study areas in rural Northern Ireland. A review of activity space and travel behaviour research found that six dimensional indicators of activity spaces were typically used including the number of unique locations visited, distance travelled, area of activity spaces, frequency of activity participation, types of activity participated in, and duration of participation in order to identify transport disadvantage. A combined measure using six individual indices were developed based on the six dimensional indicators of activity spaces, by taking into account the relativity of the measures for weekdays, weekends, and for a week. Factor analyses were conducted to derive weights of these indices to form the PI measure. Multivariate analysis using general linear models of the different indicators/indices identified new patterns of transport disadvantage. The research found that: indicator based measures and index based measures are complement each other; interactions between different factors generated new patterns of transport disadvantage; and that these patterns vary in space and time. The analysis also indicates that the transport needs of different disadvantaged groups are varied. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

The demand side of the recent labor market is well understood. Skill-biased technical change favors skilled workers in many different economic environments. The supply side is less well understood. In the Netherlands, until recently, the supply side was winning and the returns to education were declining or stagnant. The exact reasons for this phenomenon are not well understood. Recently, however, there is evidence that suggests that the returns to schooling are increasing and that demand is outstripping supply, as it has done in most developed countries around the world. This has produced rising wage inequality. Unless more active supply side measures are undertaken, this trend is likely to continue. This problem, joined with the persistent problem of immigrant assimilation and the growing role of immigrants in the Dutch economy, renews interest in the supply side of the labor market. This lecture examines the determinants of the supply of skills in the short run and the long run. It examines the roles of short-term credit constraints and long-term family factors in fostering or retarding skill accumulation. It summarizes the evidence on a number of policy proposals to foster skills including early childhood programs, programs to alleviate short-term financial pressure, job training and second chance programs, and tax policies. This lecture stresses the cumulative dynamic nature of skill production and the importance of recognizing that skill begets skill in designing suitable policies to reduce inequality and foster economic growth. While the evidence is based on American data, the lessons are relevant for economies around the world. Specific lessons for the Netherlands are emphasized.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Heckman, JJ (Corresponding Author), Univ Chicago, Dept Econ, 1126 E 59th St, Chicago, IL 60637 USA.

This research aims to examine how social enterprises (SEs) have been encouraged in Thailand in recent years as ``micro-level challenges{''} to capitalism and their potential impact in addressing inequality. Design/methodology/approach Through analysing policy documents and consultations, this paper traces the development of Thai policies intended to encourage SEs' development. Additionally, the paper uses case study interviews and documents to demonstrate how SEs tackle inequality. From these, a framework is developed, outlining SEs' roles and interventions to reduce inequality. Findings Thailand's new policy is in contrast to those countries where SEs face policy neglect. Nevertheless, government has been slow to embed processes to encourage new SEs. Despite SEs' ``challenge{''} to capitalism, listed companies are increasingly providing in-kind and financial support. The case study data shows SEs reduce inequality as they work with rural citizens to increase their employment and incomes. This work may also contribute to diminishing rural citizens' dependency on political patronage. Research limitations/implications While SEs can address inequality gaps, the research includes only existing SEs on specific lists. Nevertheless, the Thai experience will be useful to other developing countries, especially those beset by political patronage. Originality/value The research shows legislation is insufficient to support SE growth and inequality reduction. The framework highlights the need for both government policy attention and interventions from donors and companies to support SEs' efforts.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Cordery, C (Corresponding Author), Aston Univ, Aston Business Sch, Birmingham, W Midlands, England.

Objective - To understand life projects of teenagers who became mothers while participating in the program, in the period from 2003 to 2008, aiming to find the place of professional life in their life trajectory before and after motherhood. Method - Eight young mothers were interviewed, and a qualitative methodology was applied to the analysis of the interviews. Results - The trajectories of study and work were discontinued or adapted due to motherhood. Four young mothers completed high school and none had entered university. Three did not return to work and the rest had diverse work experiences. The reported difficulties to enter the labor market were: inadequate instruments to support the children's care, low income, lack of work experience, presence of small children and little educational background. Final Considerations - Teenage motherhood did not indicate the exclusion of educational or work projects but indicated adjustments and the need for a family and social support network. It was noted the need for public policies targeted at the inclusion of youths in the labor market and at support services such as nurseries. Also, the need for a change in gender relations was demonstrated, with greater equality of rights as a precondition for the inclusion of women, especially those who are mothers, in the labor market.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Portuguese}, Affiliation = {Ogido, R (Corresponding Author), Ave Dr Arnaldo 715, BR-01246904 Sao Paulo, Brazil.

This work aims to develop a simulation of peoples' meat consumption in Britain using agent-based modelling. The agents represent individual consumers. The key variables that characterise agents include sex, age, monthly income, perception of the living cost, and concerns about the impact of meat on the environment, health, and animal welfare. A process of peer influence is modelled with respect to the agents' concerns. Influence spreads across two eating networks (i.e. co-workers and household members) depending on the time of day, day of the week, and agents' employment status. Data from a representative sample of British consumers is used to empirically ground the model. Different experiments are run simulating interventions of the application of social marketing campaigns and a rise in price of meat. The main outcome is the mean weekly consumption of meat per consumer. A secondary outcome is the likelihood of eating meat. Analyses are run on the overall artificial population and by subgroups. The model succeeded in reproducing observed consumption patterns. Different sizes of effect on consumption emerged depending on the application of a social marketing strategy or a price increase. A price increase had a greater effect than environmental and animalwelfare campaigns, while a health campaign had a larger impact on consumers' behaviour than the other campaigns. An environmental campaign targeted at consumers concerned about the environment produced a boomerang effect increasing the consumption in the population rather than reducing it.

Many countries pursue horizontal equity providing people with the same illnesses equal access to health services by locating facilities in remote areas. Staff are often paid incentives to work at such facilities. However, there is little evidence on how many fewer people are treated at remote facilities than facilities in more densely settled areas. This research explores if there is an association between the efficiency of health centers in Afghanistan and the remoteness of their location. Survey teams collected data on facility level inputs and outputs at a stratified random sample of 579 health centers in 2005. Quality of care was measured by observing staff interact with patients and determining if staff completed a set of normative patient care tasks. We used seemingly unrelated regression to determine if facilities in remote areas have fewer Outpatient visits than other rural facilities. In this analysis, one equation compares the number of outpatient visits to facility inputs, while another compares quality of care to determinants of quality. The results indicate remote facilities have about 13\% fewer outpatient visits than non-remote facilities, holding inputs constant. Our analysis suggests that facilities in remote areas are realizing horizontal equity since their clients are receiving comparable quality of care to those at non-remote facilities. However, we find the average labor cost for a visit at a remote facility is \$1.44, but only \$0.97 at other rural facilities, indicating that a visit in a remote facility would have to be `worth' 1.49 times a visit at a rural facility for there to be no equity-efficiency trade-off. In determining where to build or staff health centers, this loss of efficiency may be offset by progress toward a social policy objective of providing services to disadvantaged rural populations.

These YPLWH have particular needs and challenges related to their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Contextual factors including gender inequalities, violence, stigma, and discrimination and lack of tailored services undermine YPLWH's SRHR. Objective: Understand the scope and impact of interventions targeting YPLWH to improve SRH-related outcomes in SSA. Design: We undertook a review to synthesise evaluated interventions (qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods) aimed at improving the SRH outcomes of YPLWH in SSA with outcomes based on a World Health Organization framework of comprehensive SRHR approaches for women living with HIV. Using inclusion criteria, only six interventions were identified. Results: Interventions sought to improve a range of direct and indirect SRH outcomes, including sexual behaviour, adherence, disclosure, and mental health. Four overarching issues emerged: 1) all interventions were structured according to cognitive behavioural therapy theories of behaviour change - while showing promise they do not tackle the wider gender, social, and economic contexts that shape YPLWH's SRH; 2) `significant others' were included in two of the interventions, but further work needs to consider how to leverage parental/guardian support appropriately; 3) interventions only accessed young people who were already linked to care, participants were likely to have better SRH outcomes than those potentially more vulnerable YPLWH; and 4) none of the interventions explored the sexuality of young people. Conclusions: There have been a limited number of evaluated interventions to strengthen SRH of YPLWH in SSA, and gaps exist in addressing the SRHR needs of YPLWH. Intervention approaches require greater scope and depth, including the need to address structural and contextual challenges.}, Type = {Review}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Pretorius, L (Corresponding Author), Univ KwaZulu Natal UKZN, Hlth Econ \& HIV AIDS Res Div HEARD, Westville Campus,Private Bag X54001, ZA-4000 Durban, South Africa.

Inadequate representation of these groups may lead to an incomplete understanding of the safety and efficacy of new drugs, devices, biologics, and vaccines, and limit the generalizability of trial findings. As a result, new medical products may not be beneficial to all people who need them, and existing inequities in outcomes among various population groups may remain unchanged or worsen, or new disparities may arise. Although much work has focused on study-level strategies, research organizations must make systemic changes to how clinical trials are envisioned and implemented to achieve sustainable support for diversity and inclusion in clinical trials. The Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative (CTTI) conducted interviews with leaders at institutions that conduct clinical trials to explore perspectives on organizational-level practices that promote diversity and inclusion in clinical trials. Leaders described motivations, such as an ethical and moral imperative; organizational practices, such as staff investment and resource allocation; perceived return on investments, such as better science; and deterrents, such as cost and time. The CTTI also convened an expert meeting to discuss the interview findings and provide guidance. We present the interview findings and expert guidance in a framework that describes four key areas-commitment, partnerships, accountability, and resources-on sustaining organizational-level approaches for improving diversity and inclusion in clinical trials, with the ultimate goal of advancing health equity. Institutions who conduct and support clinical trials should implement organizational-level approaches to improve equitable access and diverse patient participation in clinical trials.}, Type = {Article; Early Access}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Corneli, A (Corresponding Author), Duke Univ, Dept Populat Hlth Sci, Sch Med, Durham, NC 27701 USA.

Using structuration theory, it aims to understand how migrants' understanding of settlement services relates to their exercise of agency and to the institutional and social structures they draw upon to integrate in the new society. Data were collected through 14 focus group discussions (N = 164), across seven migrant communities in Greater Western Sydney, Australia. The paper highlights access to language services and literacy programmes as contributing to the obstacles affecting migrants' ability to achieve employment and draw on available settlement services. Three main themes emerged: (i) language barrier; (ii) employment in the new country; and (iii) settlement services. Language posed as a major barrier to find suitable employment and overall settlement. While non-recognition of prior skills or education, and a lack of local employment experience, posed significant barriers for migrants looking for work, participants also found settlement services had not been able to ease this challenging process.

Sustainable development goal 5 considers gender equality as a fundamental right and views the empowerment of women as a necessary step. Access to finance is a significant means to empower a person. In this regard, the use of digital financial services is of particular significance for women as it allows them easier access to financial products for business and household needs. For implementing policies to reduce financial exclusion of women, it is necessary to first measure the extent of FI in society. While there are several attempts to measure FI for the general population, there is limited literature on the gender-based measurement of FI. This paper fills this important research gap by developing a gender-based FI index (GFII) focusing particularly on digital services and evaluating the performance of countries across the globe (by considering 109 countries based on data availability) in terms of a gender-based FI measure developed by us. This index is developed using two separate indices, a digital financial service usage index (DFI) and a conventional financial service usage index (CFI). We calculate it for different countries for 2011, 2014, 2017, and 2021 using the Global Findex databaseIt helps us to investigate the performance of different countries over the years in ensuring the financial inclusion of women and how digital services are penetrating over the years. One contribution of the paper is to relate the Gender Development Index (GDI) and Gender Inequality Index (GII) of countries, two well-known measures of inclusive and sustainable development, with GFII and DFI for female (DFIF). This exercise shows that while there is a positive correlation between these two sets of indicators, there are a number of countries that are high (or low) in gender development (or inequality) that need to improve their digital FI. Interestingly, using the Global Findex database and the Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) and instrumental variable panel data model, we show that health, education, labour force participation rate, and political empowerment of women significantly impact the digital financial inclusion of women. The paper brings out relevant policy suggestions for improving women's digital financial access and thereby enhancing gender empowerment for faster and more inclusive growth.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Tripathi, S (Corresponding Author), Adamas Univ, Dept Econ, Kolkata 700126, India.

Design/methodology/approach - (for (b) above). I propose a research program based on three types of expectation states experimental designs: the open group-discussion, the rejection-of-influence standardized setting, and the application-files format. All three incorporate measures of either biased evaluations or double standards for competence, or of both. I illustrate how these designs can be adapted to assess, through the presence/absence of one or the other of those practices, the separate impacts of nativity, country of professional credentials and selected additional factors on the inference of task competence. The need for and the advantages of systematic, experimental work on this topic are highlighted. Findings - (from (a) above). I review evidence of the status value of nativity and country of credentials through data on evaluations, employment, and earnings. My evidence originates in contemporary Canadian studies that present results from surveys, interviews, census records, and to a lesser extent - experiments, and these findings support my claim. Practical/social implications - The proposed research will facilitate the development of interventions toward the standardized and unbiased assessment of immigrants' foreign credentials. Originality/value - The agenda I put forth constitutes a novel approach to the study of nativity and country of credentials. The work will extend the expectation states program, and enhance immigration research both theoretically and methodologically.}, Type = {Article; Book Chapter}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Foschi, M (Corresponding Author), Univ British Columbia, Dept Sociol, Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Previous studies have provided evidence that socioeconomic characteristics can buffer the effect but have not examined the role of employment characteristics. Methods We used data from 17 annual waves of the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey to compare the mental health of working age individuals before and after disability acquisition, using the Mental Health Inventory, a subscale of the SF-36 health questionnaire. Linear fixed-effects regression models were used to estimate the effect of disability acquisition on mental health. We tested for effect modification by two characteristics of people's employment prior to disability acquisition: occupational skill level and contract type. Multiple imputation using chained equations was used to handle missing data. Results Disability acquisition was associated with a substantial decline in mental health score (estimated mean difference: - 4.3, 95\% CI - 5.0, - 3.5). There was evidence of effect modification by occupational skill level, with the largest effects seen for those in low-skilled jobs (- 6.1, 95\% CI - 7.6, - 4.5), but not for contract type. Conclusions The findings highlight the need for social and health policies that focus on increasing employment rates, improving the sustainability of employment, and providing employment services and education and training opportunities for people who acquire a disability, particularly for people in low-skilled occupations, to reduce the mental health inequalities experienced by people with disabilities.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Aitken, Z (Corresponding Author), Univ Melbourne, Ctr Hlth Equ, Melbourne Sch Populat \& Global Hlth, Disabil \& Hlth Unit, 207 Bouverie St, Carlton, Vic 3010, Australia.

Due to the nature of their work, compared to the general public, healthcare workers are at a higher risk of exposure to infectious diseases, including vaccine-preventable ones. The routine vaccination of healthcare workers in low- and lower-middle-income countries is a critical issue. Vaccination not only protects healthcare workers from contracting infectious diseases but also prevents the spread of diseases to the patients, reduces healthcare costs, increases healthcare workers' morale and productivity, and demonstrates a commitment to health and safety. However, the implementation of policies for routine vaccination of healthcare workers in low- and lower-middle-income countries faces several challenges, including lack of funds, lack of evidence-based data, vaccination hesitancy through misguided beliefs, and low literacy among healthcare workers. In this article, we discuss the need for a policy for routine vaccination of healthcare workers in low- and lower-middle-income countries. We also analyse the barriers and recommendations for policy implementation and the role of partnerships. Additionally, we highlight the main points of the World Federation of Public Health Associations' policy statement `Protecting the Healthcare Workforce in Low- and Middle-Income Countries through Vaccination' which has the potential to drive policy-makers and healthcare organisations worldwide into prioritising routine vaccination of healthcare workers in low- and lower-middle-income countries.}, Type = {Editorial Material}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Lomazzi, M (Corresponding Author), World Federat Publ Hlth Assoc, 9 Ch Mines, CH-1202 Geneva, Switzerland.

Forty years after the implementation of the first equal pay legislation, the pay gap remains a key aspect of the inequalities women face in the labour market. While the overall pay gap has tended to fall in many countries over the past forty years, it has not closed; in some countries it has been stubbornly resistant, or has even widened. In reviewing the collection of papers that make up this special issue we identify four broad themes with which to group the contributions and draw out the explanations for diverse trends: theoretical and conceptual debates; legal developments and their impacts; wage setting institutions and changing employer demands; and newly emerging pay inequalities between and within educational and ethnic groups. Across the four themes we underline how the trends in the gender pay gap capture the dynamism of inequalities, as the market power of different groups and stakeholders changes over times. Three key dimensions emerge from the papers to provide a framework for future research and policy discourse: the relationship between litigation and bargaining strategies; the interaction between wage-setting institutions and new organisational practices; and the increasing and range of diversity or equality strands competing for equal treatment. We conclude that progress towards closing the gender pay gap will not be easy, will require a collective effort of various actors, and will not be quick.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {O'Reilly, J (Corresponding Author), Univ Brighton, Brighton Business Sch, Mithras House,Lewes Rd, Brighton BN2 4QT, E Sussex, England.

The influence of environmental conditions on human health poses challenges for public health scientists. One of the main issues is the availability and relevance of the data on public health, including such indicators as morbidity and decease prevalence. In this study, we overcome this obstacle by using micro data on self-reported health from the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey of Higher School of Economics. The study analyses the influence of environmental conditions on individual self-rated health in Russia, taking into account the heterogeneity of coefficients among self-rated health levels. We used generalised ordered probit model with random effects and embedded procedure for parallel line assumption violation testing. The characteristics of air, water and the quantity of pollutants in each region were considered as independent factors. The study showed significant negative influence of environmental factors on self-rated health throughout Russia. It is also demonstrated that higher self-rated health estimates are given by respondents whose level of education is no lower than that of vocational or trade school, who are married, and who are regularly engaged in physical activity. The results obtained can be used to improve regional state programmes aimed at improving the quality of life of the population in groups with different levels of health, for example, to the development and targeting of a set of health policy measures.

Numerous reviews have been conducted on the process of implementing technology-based mental health care during the pandemic. The research question of this umbrella review was to examine what the impact of COVID-19 was on access and delivery of mental health services and how mental health services have changed during the pandemic. A systematic search for systematic reviews and meta-analyses was conducted up to August 12, 2022, and 38 systematic reviews were identified. Main disruptions during COVID-19 were reduced access to outpatient mental health care and reduced admissions and earlier discharge from inpatient care. In response, synchronous telemental health tools such as videoconferencing were used to provide remote care similar to pre-COVID care, and to a lesser extent asynchronous virtual mental health tools such as apps. Implementation of synchronous tools were facilitated by time-efficiency and flexibility during the pandemic but there was a lack of accessibility for specific vulnerable populations. Main barriers among practitioners and patients to use digital mental health tools were poor technological literacy, particularly when preexisting inequalities existed, and beliefs about reduced therapeutic alliance particularly in case of severe mental disorders. Absence of organizational support for technological implementation of digital mental health interventions due to inadequate IT infrastructure, lack of funding, as well as lack of privacy and safety, challenged implementation during COVID-19. Reviews were of low to moderate quality, covered heterogeneously designed primary studies and lacked findings of implementation in low- and middle-income countries. These gaps in the evidence were particularly prevalent in studies conducted early in the pandemic. This umbrella review shows that during the COVID-19 pandemic, practitioners and mental health care institutions mainly used synchronous telemental health tools, and to a lesser degree asynchronous tools to enable continued access to mental health care for patients. Numerous barriers to these tools were identified, and call for further improvements. In addition, more high quality research into comparative effectiveness and working mechanisms may improve scalability of mental health care in general and in future infectious disease outbreaks.}, Type = {Review}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Witteveen, AB (Corresponding Author), Vrije Univ Amsterdam, Amsterdam Publ Hlth Inst, Clin Neuro \& Dev Psychol, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The paper demonstrates that the structure of the rural economy in India is characterised by deeply ingrained prejudices and social discrimination. The four-village study undertaken in one of the most populated states in India, Uttar Pradesh, clearly reveals that there is a huge disparity in terms of various social and economic indicators and that the so-called high growth has hardly helped in bettering their lives. Design/methodology/approach - The paper is based on primary data collected from the Census survey of villages exploring socio-economic disparities across social groups by using decomposition models. Findings - The results evidently lend credence to the postulations that a large proportion of the disadvantaged groups are prone to multiple deprivations, both in the society and in labour markets. The inquiry reveals this phenomenon clearly. Research limitations/implications - From the policy point of view, it is therefore imperative to ensure the direct and focussed provision of basic human requirements in terms of education, employment and income of the state. The implementation of direct policy interventions is an absolute necessity if the state has to guarantee convergence and the inclusive growth process on a sustained basis. Originality/value - This paper fulfils an identified need to study the inequality among the social groups in terms of education, employment, income and livelihood opportunities in selected villages of four districts of Uttar Pradesh.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Awasthi, IC (Corresponding Author), Giri Inst Dev Studies, Dept Dev Econ, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India.

Organizations like United Nations and Women Global Health are working towards closing the gender gap. The study aims to explore the enablers and barriers for women in healthcare leadership and to explore the strategies to promote women in leadership positions in Pakistan's specific societal culture. Methods: In this qualitative exploratory study, semi-structured interviews of 16 women holding leadership positions in the health-care profession, ie, medical and dental (basic or clinical sciences) were included. The data were collected until saturation was achieved. The data were analyzed in MS Excel. Deductive and Inductive thematic analysis was done.Results: Thirty-eight codes were generated that were combined in the form of categories. The major themes that emerged from the data were: elevating factors, the shackles holding them back, let us bring them up and implicit bias. Elevating factors were intrinsic motivation and exceptional qualifications, while the shackles were related to gender bias, male insecurities, and lack of political background. It was noteworthy that differences in gender roles were highly defined by culture and religion.Conclusion: There is a need to change the perception of South Asian society and redefine gender roles through media and individual attempts. Women must take charge of their choices and believe in themselves. The institutional policies to help promote gender equality would be mentorship programs for new faculty, gender-responsive training for everyone, equal opportunities for all, and maintaining gender diversity on all committees.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Iftikhar, S (Corresponding Author), 26-C Extens DHA Phase 8 Exparkview, Lahore, Pakistan.

An overview of findings from the Child Health Insurance Research Initiative (CHIRI)}, Journal = {PEDIATRICS}, Year = {2003}, Volume = {112}, Number = {6, S}, Pages = {E499-E507}, Month = {DEC}, Abstract = {Background. The State Children's Health Insurance Program ( SCHIP) was enacted in 1997 to provide health insurance coverage to uninsured low-income children from families who earned too much to be eligible for Medicaid. Objectives. To develop a `` baseline{''} portrait of SCHIP enrollees in 5 states ( Alabama, Florida, Kansas, Indiana, and New York) by examining: 1) SCHIP enrollees' demographic characteristics and health care experiences before enrolling in SCHIP, particularly children with special health care needs ( CSHCN), racial and ethnic minority children, and adolescents; 2) the quality of the care adolescents received before enrollment; and 3) the changes in enrollee characteristics as programs evolve and mature. Methods. Each of 5 projects from the Child Health Insurance Research Initiative ( CHIRI) surveyed new SCHIP enrollees as identified by state enrollment data. CHIRI investigators developed the CHIRI common core ( a set of survey items from validated instruments), which were largely incorporated into each survey. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to ascertain whether there were racial and ethnic disparities in access to health care and differences between CSHCN and those without. Current Population Survey data for New York State were used to identify secular trends in enrollee characteristics. Results. Most SCHIP enrollees ( 65\% in Florida to 79\% in New York) resided in families with incomes less than or equal to 150\% of the federal poverty level. Almost half of SCHIP enrollees lived in single- parent households. A majority of SCHIP parents had not had education beyond high school, and in 2 states ( Alabama and New York) similar to 25\% had not completed high school. The vast majority of children lived in households with a working adult, and in a substantial proportion of households both parents worked. Children tended to be either insured for the entire 12 months or uninsured the entire 12 months before enrolling in SCHIP. Private insurance was the predominant form of insurance before enrollment in SCHIP in most states, but 23.3\% to 51.2\% of insured children had Medicaid as their most recent insurance. Health Care Use and Unmet Needs Before SCHIP. The vast majority of all SCHIP enrollees had a usual source of care ( USC) during the year before SCHIP. The proportion of children who changed their USC after enrolling in SCHIP ranged from 29\% to 41.3\%. A large proportion of SCHIP enrollees used health services during the year before SCHIP, with some variability across states in the use of health care. Nevertheless, 32\% to almost 50\% of children reported unmet needs. CSHCN. The prevalence of CSHCN in SCHIP ( between 17\% and 25\%) in the study states was higher than the prevalence of CSHCN reported in the general population in those states. In many respects, CSHCN were similar to children without special health care needs, but CSHCN had poorer health status, were more likely to have had unmet needs, and were more likely to use the emergency department, mental health care, specialty care, and acute care in the year before enrolling in SCHIP than children without special health care needs. Race and Ethnicity. A substantial proportion of SCHIP enrollees were black non- Hispanic or Hispanic children ( Alabama: 34\% and < 1\%; Florida: 6\% and 26\%; Kansas: 12\% and 15\%; and New York: 31\% and 45\%, respectively). Minority children were poorer, in poorer health, and less likely to have had a USC or private insurance before enrolling in SCHIP. The prevalence and magnitude of the disparities varied among the states. Quality of Care for Adolescents. Seventy- three percent of adolescent SCHIP enrollees engaged in one or more risk behaviors ( ie, feeling sad or blue; alcohol, tobacco, and drug use; having sexual intercourse; and not wearing seat belts). Although almost 70\% of adolescents reported having had a preventive care visit the previous year, a majority of them did not receive counseling in each of 4 counseling areas. Controlling for other factors, having a private, confidential visit with the physician was associated with an increased likelihood ( 2 - 3 times more likely) that the adolescent received counseling for 3 of 4 counseling areas. Trends Over Time. New York SCHIP enrollees in 2001, compared with 1994 enrollees in New York's SCHIP- precursor child health insurance program, were more likely to be black or Hispanic, older, from New York City, and from families with lower education, income, and employment levels. A greater proportion of 2001 enrollees was uninsured for some time in the year before enrollment, was insured by Medicaid, and lacked a USC. Secular trends in the low- income population in the state did not seem to be responsible for these differences. Program modifications during this time period that may be related to the shift in enrollee characteristics include changes to benefits, outreach and marketing efforts, changes in the premium structure, and the advent of a single application form for multiple public programs. Conclusions. SCHIP enrollees are a diverse group, and there was considerable variation among the 5 study states. Overall, SCHIP enrollees had substantial and wide- ranging health care needs despite high levels of prior contact with the health care system. A sizable minority of SCHIP enrollees has special health care needs. There is racial and ethnic diversity in the composition of enrollees as well, with racial and ethnic disparities present. The quality of care adolescents received before enrollment in SCHIP was suboptimal, with many reporting unmet health care needs and not receiving recommended counseling. The characteristics of SCHIP enrollees can be expected to change as SCHIP programs evolve and mature. Policy Implications. 1) Benefits should be structured to meet the needs of SCHIP enrollees, which are comparable to Medicaid enrollees' needs in many respects. 2) Provider networks will have to be broad if continuity of care is to be achieved. 3) Multiple outreach strategies should be used, including using providers to distribute information about SCHIP. 4) The quality of care delivered to vulnerable populations ( eg, minority children, CSHCN, and adolescents) should be monitored. 5) States and health plans should actively promote quality health care with the goal of improving the care received by SCHIP enrollees before enrollment. 6) States will have to craft policies that fit their local context. 7) Collecting baseline information on SCHIP enrollees on a continuous basis is important, because enrollee characteristics and needs can change, and many vulnerable children are enrolling in SCHIP.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Brach, C (Corresponding Author), Agcy Healthcare Res \& Qual, Ctr Delivery Org \& Markets, 540 Gaither Rd, Rockville, MD 20850 USA.

This paper discusses the role that public health played in these initiatives and makes an appeal for more participatory, community-engaged public health in light of the persistent gaps in its approach to equitable climate change preparedness. Methods Pilots were initiated in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA): Brampton's Emergency Managers offered pre-selected FBO volunteers specialized training to be part of the city's emergency response in establishing FBO sites as emergency muster stations. An environmental organization in Hamilton explored how its existing networks could rally around a local social resilience challenge, and a community organizer in Toronto undertook network building to support mostly newcomer populations in one inner-city neighbourhood. All pilots used a mix of cold calling, workshops, municipal presentations, and participation in local programming and public events. Two convened local working groups. Results By the end of the pilot, Brampton's Emergency Management Office had made one contractual relationship with an FBO and its volunteers. In Hamilton, a multi-stakeholder network emerged to support the climate preparedness of agencies serving local vulnerable populations. In Toronto, a residents' working group was established to address neighbour well-being and emergency response in one apartment tower. Work in all three communities is ongoing. Conclusion Multi-stakeholder support for community organizations and local volunteers can enable partnerships in neighbourhood-level climate resilience-before, during and after extreme weather events. Public Health, while not typically top-of-mind as a key ally in this work, is well positioned to make a contribution. Consistent with place-based approaches, an emergent community development design enabled community animators to catalyze collaborations to suit the on-the-ground realities of each site.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Murray, S (Corresponding Author), Community Resilience Extreme Weather CREW, Toronto, ON, Canada.

Challenges to employment result from personal characteristics and environmental barriers. This phenomenological research explores the accessibility of a competitive work environment according to the perceptions of adults with ASD. Procedures and outcomes: We conducted in-depth interviews with 19 employees with ASD, followed by a thematic content analysis. Three themes emerged: (a) the employees' motivation for employment, (b) challenges and abilities at work, and (c) workplace accessibility (types of accommodations, implementation process). Results and conclusions: The findings contribute a classification of accommodations that addresses the core characteristics of autism-challenges as well as abilities and motivations for employment. Four types of accommodations were identified: job-performance communication, attitudes and interpersonal communication, daily workplace routines, and physical and sensory environments. Hence, this study supports the centrality of environmental factors in successful employment of individuals with ASD. Implications: This study presents an evidence-based foundation for autism-related workplace accessibility. It offers an approach to enhance employees' abilities, strengths, and motivation for employment, as well as to decrease barriers and challenges.

Decades of research has argued that important sites of employment are often not located in or are inaccessible to racial/ethnic minority neighborhoods. Here, we examine this proposition and take into account how public transit may play into this process. On the one hand, public transit as a public good may have the power to overcome the liabilities of place. If we can build transportation systems that give all neighborhoods comparable access to jobs, part of the spatial mismatch problem may be corrected. On the other hand, if public transit is built in such a way that certain racial/ethnic groups are benefiting, but not others, access alone is not enough to achieve parity. Using the 2013-2017 American Community Survey and the 2017 Access Across America Transit study, we examine how neighborhood racial/ethnic composition is related to job accessibility and socioeconomic outcomes at the block group level for 49 of the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the United States. We find that Black and Latino neighborhoods have access to fewer jobs via public transit, and that they also have lower median household income and a higher unemployment rate, net of access to jobs. Access to more jobs via mass transit is related to higher incomes in White block group clusters, but has no impact on household incomes in Black and Latino clusters. This suggests that public transit as implemented serves to aggravate existing inequalities and is not currently acting as a policy tool to ameliorate inequality.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Anderson, KF (Corresponding Author), Univ Houston, Dept Sociol, 3551 Cullen Blvd,PGH Bldg,Room 450, Houston, TX 77204 USA.

Previous findings from the United States support this contention, however only a small number of health outcomes have been explored. This study extends the range of health outcomes examined by using a cross-sectional, multilevel analysis to investigate whether measures of state-level gender inequity are predictors of men's self-rated health. Data were derived primarily from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and the full-case data set included 116,594 individuals nested within 50 states. Gender inequity was measured with nine variables: higher education, women's reproductive rights, abortion provider access, elected office, management, business ownership, labour force participation, earnings and relative poverty. Covariates at the individual level were age, income, education, race/ethnicity, marital status and employment status. Covariates at the state level were income inequality and gross domestic product per capita. In fully adjusted models for all-age men the reproductive rights (OR 1.06 95\% Cl 1.01-1.11), abortion provider access (OR 1.11 95\% Cl 1.05-1.16) and earnings (OR 1.06 95\% Cl 1.02-1.12) measures all predicted an increased risk of men reporting poorer self-rated health for each 1 standard deviation increase in the gender inequity z-score.

A mixed effects model of 22 OECD countries 1973-2008}, Journal = {BMC PUBLIC HEALTH}, Year = {2012}, Volume = {12}, Month = {NOV 12}, Abstract = {Background: Gender differences in mortality vary widely between countries and over time, but few studies have examined predictors of these variations, apart from smoking. The aim of this study is to investigate the link between gender policy and the gender gap in cause-specific mortality, adjusted for economic factors and health behaviours. Methods: 22 OECD countries were followed 1973-2008 and the outcomes were gender gaps in external cause and circulatory disease mortality. A previously found country cluster solution was used, which includes indicators on taxes, parental leave, pensions, social insurances and social services in kind. Male breadwinner countries were made reference group and compared to earner-carer, compensatory breadwinner, and universal citizen countries. Specific policies were also analysed. Mixed effect models were used, where years were the level 1-units, and countries were the level 2-units. Results: Both the earner-carer cluster (ns after adjustment for GDP) and policies characteristic of that cluster are associated with smaller gender differences in external causes, particularly due to an association with increased female mortality. Cluster differences in the gender gap in circulatory disease mortality are the result of a larger relative decrease of male mortality in the compensatory breadwinner cluster and the earner-carer cluster. Policies characteristic of those clusters were however generally related to increased mortality. Conclusion: Results for external cause mortality are in concordance with the hypothesis that women become more exposed to risks of accident and violence when they are economically more active. For circulatory disease mortality, results differ depending on approach - cluster or indicator. Whether cluster differences not explained by specific policies reflect other welfare policies or unrelated societal trends is an open question.

However, research on CKD in lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans (LGBT1) older adults, despite their higher rates of diabetes, heart disease, smoking, and alcohol use, is limited. Methods Pooled data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (2014-2019) for 22,114 LGBT1 adults and 748,963 heterosexuals aged 50 and older were used to estimate the prevalence of self-reported kidney disease. Logistic regressions were used to compare older adults by sexual orientation. Results Older LGBT1 men (adjusted odds ratio=1.3; 95\% confidence interval {[}CI], 1.09-1.54) were more likely than their heterosexual counterparts to report kidney disease, after controlling for sociodemographic factors, health behaviors, access to health care, and self-reported coronary heart disease, HIV, and diabetes; LGBT1 men and women also reported higher incidences of known risk factors for CKD. For example, both LGBT1 men (odds ratio {[} OR]=1.39; {[}95\% CI], 1.26-1.54) and LGBT+ women (OR=1.39; {[}95\% CI], 1.25-1.55) were more likely to be smokers and have a higher incidence of activity limitations, adverse health outcomes, and limited access to health care, housing, and employment. Conclusion These results support increasing access to screenings for CKD risk factors, providing preventative education and culturally responsive and affirming care, and addressing other societal drivers of vulnerability in older LGBT1 adults. The findings also support the value of interventions that address the interaction between CKD risk factors and the social marginalization that older LGBT1 adults experience.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Chandra, M (Corresponding Author), 4350 East West Highway,Suite 800, Bethesda, MD 20814 USA.

MEWC has compiled an annual report to track the progress of the AWD commitments since 2011. A presentation of progress and developments for each country on the continent will be made in relation to the AWD benchmarks of women's equality until 2020. In past years, the AWD Report tracked progress on several different issues affecting women.

Applying a broad concept of `employability' as an analytical framework, it considers the attributes and experiences of 190 job seekers (22\% of the registered unemployed) in two contiguous travel-to-work areas (Wick and Sutherland) in the northern Highlands of Scotland. The labour demand side of employability is also considered through interviews with 17 employers. The paper identifies the specific job search and other employment problems faced by unemployed people living in isolated rural communities (labour supply); considers the perspective of employers (labour demand); and discusses potential policies to address the needs of unemployed individuals. Many job seekers were found to have gaps in generic and job-specific skills, whilst some (particularly males) were reluctant to pursue opportunities in non-traditional sectors of the economy. The importance of informal job search and recruitment networks (which may exclude the young and the long-term unemployed) and the lack of access to formal employment services in remote areas also potentially contributed to labour market disadvantage. Holistic and client-centred solutions are required to address the barriers faced by these rural job seekers, including adult basic education provision, flexible training focussing on skills and work experience with particular relevance to the new rural economy, and support services for job seekers in isolated areas. These supply-side policies should be combined with demand-side measures to stimulate endogenous and exogenous growth in isolated local economies. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.

While equity issues related to health care coverage and access remain important, the social determinants of health (SDH) represent the next frontier for reducing health inequalities, a point reinforced by the work of the World Health Organization's Commission on Social Determinants of Health. In this regard, Canada's recent performance suggests a bleak prognosis. Canada's track record since the 1980s in five respects related to social determinants of health: (a) the overall redistributive impact of tax and transfer policies; (b) reduction of family and child poverty; (c) housing policy; (d) early childhood education and care; and (e) urban/metropolitan health policy have reduced Canada's capacity to reduce existing health inequalities.

However, countries' existing labor and social security laws often exclude the most vulnerable workers from coverage, exacerbating existing inequalities. Guaranteeing the rights to adequate income even when ill, decent working conditions and nondiscrimination in constitutions may provide a foundation for protecting rights universally, safeguarding against counterproductive austerity measures, and providing a normative foundation for equality and inclusion as economies recover. The purpose of this article is to examine the prevalence of these rights globally and assess some of their early impacts amid the pandemic. Design/methodology/approach The authors created and analyzed a database of constitutional rights for all 193 United Nations member states. All constitutions were double coded by an international multidisciplinary, multilingual team of researchers. Findings This study finds that 54\% of countries take some approach to guaranteeing income security in their constitutions, including 23\% that guarantee income security during illness. Thirty-one percent guarantee the right to safe working conditions. Only 36\% of constitutions explicitly guarantee at least some aspect of nondiscrimination at work. With respect to equal rights broadly, constitutional protections are most common on the basis of sex (85\%), followed by religion (78\%), race/ethnicity (76\%), socioeconomic status (59\%), disability (27\%), citizenship (22\%), sexual orientation (5\%) and gender identity (3\%). Across almost all areas, protections for rights are far more common in constitutions adopted more recently. Originality/value This is the first study to systematically examine protections for income security and decent work, together with nondiscrimination, in the constitutions of all 193 UN member states.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Sprague, A (Corresponding Author), Univ Calif Los Angeles, WORLD Policy Anal Ctr, Fielding Sch Publ Hlth, Los Angeles, CA 90095 USA.

While health insurance premiums are directly linked to workplaces in the USA, other countries with universal health coverage, have less incentive to implement WHP programs. Size of the business is an important consideration with small worksites less likely to implement WHP programs. The aim of this study was to identify key intervention points and to provide policy makers with evidence for targeted interventions. Methods: The worksites (n = 218) of randomly selected, working participants, aged between 30 and 65 years, in two South Australian cohort studies were surveyed to assess the practices, beliefs, and attitudes regarding WHP. A survey was sent electronically or by mail to management within each business. Results: Smaller businesses (< 20 employees) had less current health promotion activies (mean 1.0) compared to medium size businesses (20-200 employees -mean 2.4) and large businesses (200+ employees -mean 2.9). Management in small businesses were less likely (31.0 \%) to believe that health promotion belonged in the workplace (compared to 55.7 \% of medium businesses and 73.9 \% of large businesses) although half of small businesses did not know or were undecided (compared to 36.4 and 21.6 \% of medium and large businesses). In total, 85.0 \% of smaller businesses believed the health promotion activities currently employed in the worksite were effective (compared to 89.2 \% of medium businesses and 83.1 \% of large businesses). Time and funding were themost cited responses to the challenges to implementing health promoting strategies regardless of business size. Small businesses ranked morale and work/life balance the highest among a range of health promotion activities that were important for their workplace while work-related injury was the highest ranked consideration for large businesses. Conclusion: This study found that smaller workplaces had many barriers, beliefs and challenges regarding WHP. Often small businesses find health promotion activities a luxury and not a serious focus of their activities although this study found that once a health promoting strategy was employed, the perceived effectiveness of the activities were high for all business regardless of size. Tailored low-cost programs, tax incentives, re-orientation of work practices and management support are required so that the proportion of small businesses that have WHP initiatives is increased.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Taylor, AW (Corresponding Author), Univ Adelaide, Discipline Med, Populat Res \& Outcome Studies, Adelaide, SA, Australia.

Inclusion criteria were raising a child who receives services for mental health needs and ability to attend weekly sessions. Outcomes were parent activation, education activation, quality of school interaction, and parent mental health. Effectiveness of the intervention was tested with a difference-in- difference approach estimating linear mixed models. Heterogeneity of treatment effect was examined. Results: MePrEPA enhanced parent activation (beta=5.98, 95\% confidence interval {[}CI]=1.42-10.53), education activation (beta=7.98, CI=3.01-12.94), and quality of school interaction (beta=1.83, CI=.14-3.52) to a greater degree than did a parent-support control group. The intervention's impact on parent activation and education outcomes was greater for participants whose children were covered by Medicaid and were novices to therapy and those with low activation at baseline. No statistically significant effects were observed in parent mental health. Conclusions: Activation among Latino parents was improved with MePrEPA, which can be readily incorporated in current practices by mental health clinics. Future work should replicate findings in a large number of sites, adding behavioral measures and distal impacts while examining MePrEPA's effects across settings and populations.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Thomas, KC (Corresponding Author), Univ North Carolina Chapel Hill, Cecil G Sheps Ctr Hlth Serv Res, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 USA.

This article summarizes the results of a growing body of evidence documenting Blacks' diminished return, defined as a systematically smaller health gain from economic resources and psychological assets for Blacks in comparison to Whites. Due to structural barriers that Blacks face in their daily lives, the very same resources and assets generate smaller health gain for Blacks compared to Whites. Even in the presence of equal access resources and assets, such unequal health gain constantly generates a racial health gap between Blacks and Whites in the United States. In this paper, a number of public policies are recommended based on these findings. First and foremost, public policies should not merely focus on equalizing access to resources and assets, but also reduce the societal and structural barriers that hinder Blacks. Policy solutions should aim to reduce various manifestations of structural racism including but not limited to differential pay, residential segregation, lower quality of education, and crime in Black and urban communities. As income was not found to follow the same pattern demonstrated for other resources and assets (ie, income generated similar decline in risk of mortality for Whites and Blacks), policies that enforce equal income and increase minimum wage for marginalized populations are essential. Improving quality of education of youth and employability of young adults will enable Blacks to compete for high paying jobs. Policies that reduce racism and discrimination in the labor market are also needed. Without such policies, it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to eliminate the sustained racial health gap in the United States.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Assari, S (Corresponding Author), Univ Michigan, Sch Publ Hlth, CRECH, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 USA.

Past studies of welfare recidivism have long theorized that disabilities played a central role in returns to welfare among former recipients, but lacked data to test the hypothesis. Hypothesis tests support the theory that both child and maternal disabilities, which act as barriers to self-sufficiency, increase rates of TANF re-entry and SSI entry. We show that because past studies did not account for disabilities on the odds of returning to welfare, effects of work, number of children, and past receipt of TANF are somewhat overstated. Our findings add to the literature on welfare recidivism and have implications for welfare reforms that emphasize work and lifetime limits on benefits. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc.

The Taskforce explored three hypotheses: black women in Chicago receive fewer mammograms, black women receive mammograms of inferior quality, and black women have inadequate access to quality of treatment for breast cancer. Methods A total of 102 individuals from 74 Chicago area organizations participated in the Task Force participating in three work groups from January to September 2007. The work groups held focus groups of providers, organized town hall meetings in four Chicago communities, gathered black/white breast cancer mortality data for Chicago, the United States, and New York City, and conducted a mammography capacity and quality survey of mammography facilities. Results Chicago's black and white breast cancer mortality rates were the same in 1980. By the late 1990s, a substantial disparity was present, and by 2005, the black breast cancer mortality rate was 116\% higher than the white rate. In 2007, 206,000 screening mammograms were performed for women living in Chicago, far short of the 588,000 women in the 40-69 age range in Chicago. Facilities that served predominately minority women were less likely to be academic or private institutions (p < 03), less likely to have digital mammography (p < 003), and less likely to have dedicated breast imaging specialists reading the films (p < 003). Black women and providers serving them reported significant difficulties in accessing needed care for breast cancer screening and treatment. Conclusion There are significant access barriers to high quality mammography and treatment services that could be contributing to the mortality differences in Chicago. A metropolitan wide taskforce has been established to address the disparity.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Ansell, D (Corresponding Author), Rush Univ, Med Ctr, 544 Acad Facil,600 S Paulina Ave, Chicago, IL 60612 USA.

It first studies the labor force participation of PwD before examining the large and persistent wage gaps they face. It explores whether these wage gaps are explained by differences in productivity, a distinction which has important implications for policies addressing these gaps. Design/methodology/approach The analysis is based on the Indonesian Family Life Survey Wave 5, which includes unique questions allowing for several definitions of disability. Multinomial logistic regression is used to study differences in type of employment for PwD. Wage gaps are estimated and corrected for selection using propensity score matching, supported by a Heckman selection model and Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition. Comparisons with other physically disadvantaged subgroups and the analysis of heterogeneity by job requirements and sector of work explore whether productivity gaps help explain wage gaps. Findings PwD generally have lower unconditional labor force participation, but disparities largely disappear when controlling for characteristics. Moreover, patterns vary depending on whether the measure of disability used depends on prior medical diagnosis. PwD that do not require prior diagnosis tend to work in more vulnerable employment. When they are employed for wages, people with these types of disabilities face lower wages, up to 22\% lower. Meanwhile, (surprisingly) those with medically diagnosed conditions face no difference or a wage premium. This paper finds compelling evidence that, where a wage penalty exists, a substantial part is unexplained by observable characteristics. Originality/value Previous literature on disability has been mostly based on studies of high-income economies. This paper extends the literature to Indonesia, which differs from high-income contexts due to lack of mental healthcare resources and assistive technologies, as well as weaker rule of law. It provides unique insights based on types of disability and the salient dimensions of disability in the workplace. It also provides evidence that productivity differences do not explain the wage gap.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Caron, L (Corresponding Author), Columbia Univ, New York, NY 10027 USA.

In fact, evidences on factors contributing to changes in vaccination coverage across residential areas, wealth categories and over time have not been adequate. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating inequalities in vaccination status of children aged 12-23 months owing to variations in wealth status, residential areas and over time. Methods Maternal and child health service data were extracted from the 2011 and 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey datasets. Then, multivariate decomposition analysis was done to identify the major factors contributing to differences in the rate of vaccination utilization across residences and time variations. Similarly, a concentration index and curve were also done to identify the concentration of child vaccination status across wealth categories. Results Among children aged 12-23 months, the prevalence of complete childhood vaccination status increased from 20.7\% in rural to 49.2\% in urban in 2011 and from 31.7\% in rural to 66.8\% in urban residences in 2016. The decomposition analyses indicated that 72\% in 2011 and 70.5\% in 2016 of the overall difference in vaccination status was due to differences in respondent characteristics. Of the changes due to the composition of respondent characteristics, such as antenatal care and place of delivery were the major contributors to the increase in complete childhood vaccination in 2011, while respondent characteristics such as wealth index, place of delivery and media exposure were the major contributors to the increase in 2016. Of the changes due to differences in coefficients, those of low wealth status in 2016 across residences significantly contributed to the differences in complete childhood vaccination. On top of that, from 2011 to 2016, there was a significant increment in complete childhood vaccination status and a 59.8\% of the overall increment between the surveys was explained by the difference in composition of respondents. With regard to the change in composition, the differences in composition of ANC visit, wealth status, place of delivery, residence, maternal education and media exposure across the surveys were significant predictors for the increase in complete child vaccination over time. On the other hand, the wealth-related inequalities in the utilization of childhood vaccination status were the pro-rich distribution of health services with a concentration index of CI = 0.2479 (P-value < 0.0001) in 2011 and {[}CI = 0.1987; P-value < 0.0001] in 2016. Conclusion A significant rural-urban differentials was observed in the probability of a child receiving the required childhood vaccines. Children in urban households were specifically more likely to have completed the required number of vaccines compared to the rural areas in both surveys. The effect of household wealth status on the probability of a child receiving the required number of vaccines are similar in the 2011 and 2016 surveys, and the vaccination status was high in households with high wealth status. The health policies aimed at reducing wealth related inequalities in childhood vaccination in Ethiopia need to adjust focus and increasingly target vulnerable children in rural areas. It is of great value to policy-makers to understand and design a compensation mechanism for the costs incurred by poor households. Special attention should also be given to rural communities through improving their access to the media. The findings highlight the importance of women empowerment, for example, through education to enhance childhood vaccination services in Ethiopia.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Debie, A (Corresponding Author), Univ Gondar, Inst Publ Hlth, Dept Hlth Syst \& Policy, Coll Med \& Hlth Sci, POB 196, Gondar, Ethiopia.

Methods: We investigated reasons for poor recruitment and retention in rural areas and potential policy interventions through quantitative and qualitative data collection with nursing trainees. We interviewed 345 trainees from four purposively selected Medical Training Colleges (MTCs) (166 pre-service and 179 upgrading trainees with prior work experience). Each interviewee completed a self-administered questionnaire including likert scale responses to statements about rural areas and interventions, and focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted at each MTC. Results: Likert scale responses indicated mixed perceptions of both living and working in rural areas, with a range of positive, negative and indifferent views expressed on average across different statements. The analysis showed that attitudes to working in rural areas were significantly positively affected by being older, but negatively affected by being an upgrading student. Attitudes to living in rural areas were significantly positively affected by being a student at the MTC furthest from Nairobi. During FGDs trainees raised both positive and negative aspects of rural life. Positive aspects included lower costs of living and more autonomy at work. Negative issues included poor infrastructure, inadequate education facilities and opportunities, higher workloads, and inadequate supplies and supervision. Particular concern was expressed about working in communities dominated by other tribes, reflecting Kenya's recent election-related violence. Quantitative and qualitative data indicated that students believed several strategies could improve rural recruitment and retention, with particular emphasis on substantial rural allowances and the ability to choose their rural location. Other interventions highlighted included provision of decent housing, and more rapid career advancement. However, recently introduced short term contracts in named locations were not favoured due to their lack of pension plans and job security. Conclusions: This study identified a range of potential interventions to increase rural recruitment and retention, with those most favored by nursing students being additional rural allowances, and allowing choice of rural location.

Objectives To describe experienced barriers and facilitators for work and social participation among individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Setting Vocational rehabilitation (VR) center in Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 participants (8 males, 4 females) aged 24-67 years. Five participants still underwent vocational rehabilitation, while seven participants lived in the community. Thematic analysis was used. Results None of the participants who worked before the injury returned to her/his previous occupation, most participants became self-employed. The frequency of participation in social activities decreased substantially. Barriers for work and social participation included health conditions and environmental barriers, including inaccessibility, stigma and discrimination and limited institutional support and services. Identified facilitators for work and social participation were perceived importance of work and social participation, adaptations to disability condition, and social support. Conclusion Barriers to engage in work and social activities for individuals with SCI in Indonesia are combination of physical limitations, lack of accessibility, stigma, and institutional barriers. The capacity of social networks such as family in facilitating participation should be strengthened during the VR processes. VR should provide marketing skills and link self-employed clients with the market, in collaboration with the private sector and industries.

However, there is limited research on disabilities and their impact. We sought to examine the research related to disability from Cameroon. Methods: We conducted a systematic review, bibliometric analysis, and narrative synthesis of research related to disability, functioning, and social participation from Cameroon published during 2005-2014. The articles were screened in duplicate to identify articles addressing impacts of disability on functioning. Disability was contextualized using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework. Data were analyzed narratively per identified themes using an inductive data-driven approach. Results: A total of 46 studies were included following full-text review of which 36 addressed non-communicable diseases and conditions, 7 addressed infectious diseases and 3 addressed neglected tropical diseases. Among ICF Activity and Participation Restrictions, work and employment was the highest reported category (19 studies), followed by intimate relationships (14 studies), and looking after one's health (8 studies). Among ICF Environmental Factors, societal attitudes were the highest reported category (21 studies), followed by health services, systems and policies (14 studies) and support and relationships (11 studies). Among other common themes, knowledge and awareness was the highest reported category (22 studies), closely followed by traditional beliefs (20 studies) and financial barriers (9 studies). Conclusion: There is a small body of primary research from Cameroon on disability. The main themes related to disability are stigma, limited knowledge and awareness, poor quality of care and hindered employment opportunities.

However, our understanding of how rural young people in Africa take advantage of processes of rural transformation or engage with the rural economy is limited. Drawing on qualitative research conducted with 117 rural young people in three country contexts (Ghana, Zimbabwe and Tanzania), this paper reports the findings on the steps and pathways through which young people construct livelihoods in hotspots of agricultural commercialisation. Overall what emerges from a diversity of backgrounds, experiences and pathways is that the commercialised rural economy within which they operate offer them a variety of income earning opportunities. Family and broader social relations are key in enabling young people to access the needed resources in the form of land, capital, and inputs to begin their ventures. Between family and rental markets, there is little evidence that young people's engagement with crop production is limited by their inability to access land. We also find evidence of asset accumulation by young people in the form of housing, furniture and savings among others, which reflects the combination of relatively dynamic rural economies, enabling social relations, and hard work. However, for many it is a struggle to stay afloat, requiring effort, persistence, and an ability to navigate setbacks and hazards. Our findings challenge a number of assumptions underlying policy and public discourse around rural young people and employment in Africa.

This paper reflects on a research project that is mapping the ways in which social enterprises in regional Australian cities produce wellbeing for their employees. Through supported employment programs, these organisations are transforming individual lives, helping to build a sense of self-worth and purpose, and increase individuals' social skills and capacities. Many of the perceived benefits are associated with a belief in the innate good of paid work. Based upon interviews with employees in the social enterprises, it is apparent that the hopes attached to providing `meaningful work' are considerable. At the same time social enterprises are taking on social responsibilities that were once provided by the state, while also selling their services as employers of disabled and disadvantaged members of society and maintaining commercial viability of the enterprise. Using feminist political economy alongside discussion of the distributive economy, this paper explores how contemporary policy conditions, productivist biases and normative discourses about the value of wage work inflect the forms of wellbeing that can be experienced by WISE workers.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {McKinnon, K (Corresponding Author), La Trobe Univ, Dept Social Inquiry, Bendigo, Australia.

Importantly, while some studies have reported tobacco use as significantly higher among TGD versus cisgender individuals in multivariate analyses, others have reported no significant differences. The present study used data from wave 4 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) study, a large, nationally representative U.S. study, to examine relationships among sociodemographic characteristics, internal and external factors, and tobacco use behaviors, with a focus on TGD individuals. Methods: Data were from 33,628 adults from the PATH study's wave 4 (collected December 2016-January 2018). Multivariable logistic regression models examined differences in current tobacco use (cigarettes, electronic nicotine products, and cigars) between TGD and cisgender individuals through the replication of previous work using PATH data, as well as evaluating the role of other internal and external factors. Results: TGD individuals were 2-3 times more likely than cisgender individuals to report current nicotine/tobacco use, even after adjustment for potential confounders. TGD individuals tended to have lower income and education and be more likely to endorse a sexual minority identity than their cisgender counterparts; meanwhile, lower income, less education, and lesbian/gay and bisexual identities were significant predictors of nicotine/tobacco use, independent of TGD identity. Conclusions: Present findings underscore the high rates of nicotine/tobacco use in the TGNC community and emphasize the necessity of TGD-focused research methods and measures, access to quality medical care, and policy aimed at minimizing marginalization and nicotine/tobacco use disparities experienced by TGD communities.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Sawyer, AN (Corresponding Author), 100W Franklin St,Suite 200, Richmond, VA 23220 USA.

Design/methodology/approach - A conceptual framework was constructed to examine the interplay between the PCB factors of support, interference and lack of engagement, against context-relevant dimensions of gendered sociocultural barriers, public sector preferences and the likelihood itself of labor market entry. Survey data from face-to-face encounters (n = 335) was collected. Findings - Parental support was found to significantly reduce the perceived sociocultural barriers to workforce participation. Parental interference amplified these barriers and also increased public sector preferences. Those with educated fathers were more likely to seek labor market entry and consider atypical career paths, while those with a parent working in the private sector were more willing to consider this sector. Research limitations/implications - One limitation was a sample comprising only female students, nonetheless it implies PCB has an impact on ``national{''} female labor force participation (FLFP). Therefore, seeking to engage parents as more active stakeholders in vocationally related HEI interventions would benefit from greater policy attention. Originality/value - This paper is the first to consider parental influence on FLFP using the PCB construct.

The rapid growth of Yazd presents an example of informal urbanization in Iran at the nexus of development, poverty, and inequality. While scholarship on urban informality is abundant, a lacuna exists in the literature on systematic quantitative research on informality among urban residents. The present study investigates residents' perceptions regarding infor-mality and captures their responses before and after the expansion of an informal settlement in Yazd. Through this quantitative research, we aim to articulate and highlight specific domains of informality, offering a framework assessing the complexities of informality that extend beyond only Iranian informal settlements. This paper analyzes the status of urban informality and migration in terms of their social, economic, physical, environmental, and urban management characteristics in ``Airport Neighborhood{''}, a prominent Yazd neigh-borhood. This paper seeks to add theoretical and empirical depth to the categorization of distinct yet overlapping domains of informality. Our quantitative approach to migration and informality informs our central research question: How does the complexity of informality affect different groups of people living in one informal set-tlement? We find that recent migrants to the settlement are less involved in urban governance, women experi-ence improved work opportunities after moving to the informal settlement but remain marginalized, and insufficient and poorly maintained infrastructure operates as a significant barrier to socio-economic stability and mobility. We also find that urban settlement results in increased debt among residents in Airport Neighborhood, and that youth unemployment is a significant issue that did not improve for recent migrants to the neighborhood despite young people citing employment as a key motivating factor for migration. Our empirical work highlights the theoretical complexity of informality, as subgroups of people face varying challenges that correlate with their age, gender, and time spent in a particular informal settlement.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Finn, BM (Corresponding Author), Univ Michigan, Sch Environm \& Sustainabil, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 USA.

This is an important intervention, given that the South African labour market continues to generate some of the highest levels of income and wealth inequality in the world. The minimum wage is intended as a structural intervention to transform the labour market by setting a wage floor, while highlighting larger issues that continue to reproduce inequality in the labour market. The process raises interesting questions about the role of social dialogue in the policy making process, especially at a time when the roles of experts and evidence are contested in political economy. This article reviews the national minimum wage process from two angles: assessing the economic evidence and examining the political economy of minimum wages in South Africa. We take this approach in order to better understand the roles of evidence and politics in the policy making process. While both processes were contested, important differences emerge from the analysis: the economic lens highlights the intersection of evidence and ideology, while a political economy review identifies important lines of contestation in the policy making process itself. The national minimum wage process shows that institutionalised social dialogue continues to be a central part of the policy making process, but that it cannot be taken for granted: the particular configuration of the social dialogue process and the roles assigned to each player matter.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Francis, D (Corresponding Author), Univ Witwatersrand, Parktown Management Campus, ZA-2193 Gauteng, South Africa.

The step of forming a European identity as a supra-identity apart from the national identities of the European countries within the borders of each state takes its roots from this perception of being ``us{''}. Though highlighted in Copenhagen Criteria that the stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, rule of law, human rights and respect for and protection of minorities are ensured; when we look at today's immigration policies we see a serious deviation from this founding approach emphasizing and ensuring multiculturalism. With labour migration in the 1960s, refugees fleeing Yugoslavia in the 1990s, and the 2015 refugee crisis, Europe's population structure began to change. Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the security approach has taken the place of economic considerations in migration management. The 2015 refugee crisis has become not only a border security crisis but also a crisis of European identity and welfare state protection. This paper aims to investigate the effects of religion, nationalism, and economic concerns on the transformation of immigration policies after 2015 in Denmark, which employs extreme restrictive policies, and Sweden, which has a relatively welcoming culture. The majority of the literature discusses whether those countries are religious or secular; it is expected that the study contributes to a better understanding of the impact of religion and nationalism on migration policies, as well as a discussion of its future implications. Denmark had been extremely homogeneous with only one language and religion and no ethnic minorities, though, this homogeneous structure has begun to deteriorate with the increase in non-western immigration since the 1990s. While the Danish Law of 1983 was widely regarded as the most liberal in Europe, after 1990, equal rights were replaced by immigrant responsibility and integration. With the rise of the anti-immigrant parties in the 2001 elections, social rights were curtailed, and Danish values took centre stage. In Denmark, rules like reducing social assistance after 2015 aim to protect the welfare state, whereas rules like the ban on the burqa and the handshake in the naturalization ceremony are motivated by other factors. The Danish Prime Minister announced the zero-refugee target, the anti-immigrant farright Danish People's Party declared their intention to reduce the number of all immigrants. So, a new discourse has emerged in which no form of immigration is desired. On the other hand, Sweden follows Denmark slightly behind in terms of process, but by going through literally the same processes. While positive discourse about immigrants had been dominant in Sweden, which implemented multicultural policies, the discourse turned negative with the 2015 refugee crisis. Increasing unemployment among immigrants, income inequality, and Swedish identity discussions seems to lead to a rise in nationalism and nativism in the 2022 elections, as well as a reduction in the generosity of the welfare state. Denmark and Sweden cases show how similar welfare states with the same historical and immigration background respond differently to the refugee crisis. While the unemployment rate for foreign-born workers is high in both countries, it is more than three times higher in Sweden. Refugee crisis has made religious identity more visible and put pressure on Scandinavian welfare model as well as governments. Although integration and assimilation policies are brought to the forefront in terms of religious behaviour patterns of Muslims, the emphasis on religion is not made directly, instead, it is made through the symbols of Islam. The reason why Muslims considered as ``others{''} mainly takes its foundation from this difference. Although they do not make religion an important part of their life, and atheism is higher than other parts of the world, in many European countries Christianity is still considered an important part of the European identity and the Church is an important part of it. According to the conclusion of this study, it is highly possible that Denmark might serve as a model to Europe, primarily to Nordic countries, and this strengthens the possibility that anti-immigrant opposition will sharpen and divide societies. The effects of radical Islam, which is gradually increasing its influence around the world, is undoubtedly huge in these politics throughout Europe; however, abandoning or deviating from policies targeting multiculturalism might cause isolation and alienation of immigrants, who are already fleeing from terrorism, and push them towards radicalization which constitutes another danger.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Turkish}, Affiliation = {Dora, ZK (Corresponding Author), Turkish Grand Natl Assembly Presidency Strategy D, Ankara, Turkey.

In this context, the Research was carried out to generate knowledge about the conditions and factors that favor and/or limit in childhood the opportunities and possibilities of boys and girls to be interested, develop skills and build a satisfactory relationship in the learning of STEM. It studied boys and girls aged 6-10 in Mexico City (Mexico), Sao Paulo (Brazil) and Buenos Aires (Argentina). The opinions, assessments, expectations, and representations of children, parents, and teachers related to the STEM areas were collected and analyzed. Objectives: Investigate how boys and girls aged 6-10 relate to science and technology, and recognize their perceptions of STEM. Identify gender biases by teachers, parents, and guardians that impact the relationship between boys and girls with STEM areas. Propose specific actions, recommendations, and tools to disassemble gender biases in education and the family environment. This research was carried out in the framework of the Compromiso Disney (Disney Commitment) regional skill building program and its Digital Culture and Innovation in Education initiatives, which promote children's rights in the digital era. The program includes free Training for Teachers through e-learning and webinars hosted by experts in the matter, free educational resources, ongoing research, and activities and workshops for children. Findings Highlights 9 out of 10 girls aged 6-8 associate engineering with male affinities and skills. Although girls and boys think that the four STEM disciplines can be performed by both men and women. Girls' interest in mathematics decreases as they progress through school. 1 out of 3 parents in Buenos Aires thinks that the low participation of girls in science and technology is a consequence of girls' personal taste and that they receive few stimuli at home and in school to be interested in and to relate to those disciplines. More information at http://bit.ly/research-gender Innovative aspects of the research Unexplored topic in the region. There were no studies analyzing gender differences and inequalities related to science and technology in childhood, particularly during the first years of formal education. Focus groups of both girls and boys to identify their perceptions and assessments, considering self-assessment as critical information of the problem, which is rarely considered as part of the analysis. Recommendations focus on the need to work with boys as one of the pillars to improve the inclusion of girls in science and technology. It proposes an articulated strategy with the responsible parts for children and teenager education and upbringing: families, State, educators, social organizations, schools, and companies by the portions given in this document.}, Type = {Proceedings Paper}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Reiman, M (Corresponding Author), Asociac Civil Chicosnet, Buenos Aires, DF, Argentina.

We investigated a broad-scale program in Israel's largest health plan, aimed at reducing disparities in socially disadvantaged groups using a composite measure of seven health and health care indicators. Methods A realistic evaluation was conducted to evaluate the program in 26 clinics and their associated managerial levels. First, we performed interviews with key stakeholders and an ethnographic observation of a regional meeting to derive the underlying program theory. Next, semi-structured interviews with 109 clinic teams, subregional headquarters, and regional headquarters personnel were conducted. Social network analysis was performed to derive measures of team interrelations. Perceived team effectiveness (TE) and clinic characteristics were assessed to elicit contextual characteristics. Interventions implemented by clinics were identified from interviews and coded according to the mechanisms each clinic employed. Assessment of each clinic's performance on the seven-indicator composite measure was conducted at baseline and after 3 years. Finally, we reviewed different context mechanism-outcome (CMO) configurations to understand what works to reduce disparity, and under what circumstances. Results Clinics' inner contextual characteristics varied in both network density and perceived TE. Successful CMO configurations included 1) highly dense clinic teams having high perceived TE, only a small gap to minimize, and employing a wide range of interventions; (2) clinics with a large gap to minimize with high clinic density and high perceived TE, focusing efforts on tailoring services to their enrollees; and (3) clinics having medium to low density and perceived TE, and strong middle-management support. Conclusions Clinics that achieved disparity reduction had high clinic density, close ties with middle management, and tailored interventions to the unique needs of the populations they serve.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Spitzer-Shohat, S (Corresponding Author), Bar Ilan Univ, Azrieli Fac Med, Dept Populat Hlth, Safed, Israel.

The model was developed in Italy in the 1970s for people with psychiatric disabilities and has gained prominence in Europe. Principles include that over a third of employees are people with a disability or labor market disadvantage, every worker is paid a fair-market wage, and the business operates without subsidy. Independent of European influence, affirmative businesses also have developed in Canada, the United States, Japan, and elsewhere. The success of individual social firms is enhanced by locating the right market niche, selecting labor-intensive products, having a public orientation for the business, and having links with treatment services. The growth of the social firm movement is aided by legislation that supports the businesses, policies that favor employment of people with disabilities, and support entities that facilitate technology transfer. Social firms can empower individual employees, foster a sense of community in the workplace, and enhance worker commitment through the organization's social mission.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Warner, R (Corresponding Author), Univ Colorado, Dept Psychiat, 4200 E 9th Ave, Denver, CO 80262 USA.

People who are culturally distinct from the dominant population group may experience a variety of barriers to accessing healthcare, including linguistic and cultural barriers in communication, navigation of an unfamiliar health system and unconscious or overt discrimination. Here, we outline the protocol of a scoping review to identify, describe and summarise interventions aimed at improving access to eye care for non-Indigenous, non-dominant ethnic groups residing in high-income countries.Methods and analysisWe will search MEDLINE, Embase and Global Health from their inception to July 2019. We will include studies of any design that describe an intervention to promote access to eye care for non-Indigenous, non-dominant ethnic groups. Two authors will independently review titles, abstracts and full-text articles for inclusion. Reference lists from all included articles will also be searched. In cases of disagreement between initial reviewers, a third author will help resolve the conflict. For each included article, we will extract data about the target population, details of the intervention delivered and the effectiveness of or feedback from the intervention. Overall findings will be summarised with descriptive statistics and thematic analysis.Ethics and disseminationThis review will summarise existing literature and as such ethics approval is not required. We will publish the review in an open-access, peer-reviewed journal, and draft appropriate summaries for dissemination to the wider community. This wider community could include clinicians, policymakers, health service managers and organisations that work with non-dominant ethnic groups.

Continentally, less than four percent of Africa's renewable water resources are withdrawn for agriculture and other uses. Investments in agricultural water management can contribute in several ways to achieving the Millennium Development Goals of eradicating extreme poverty and hunger and ensuring environmental sustainability. Increased yield and cropping area and shifts to higher valued crops could help boost the income of rural households, generate more employment, and lower consumer food prices. These investments can also stabilize output, income and employment, and have favourable impacts on education, nutrition and health, and social equity. Investments in agricultural water management can cut poverty by uplifting the entitlements and transforming the opportunity structure for the poor. The overall role of investments in agricultural water management in eradicating hunger and poverty is analyzed. This paper contributes to the present debate and efforts to identify strategies and interventions that can effectively contribute to poverty reduction in Africa. It provides an overview of population growth, malnutrition, income distribution and poverty for countries in three case study river basins - Limpopo, Nile, and Volta. With discussions on the contribution of agriculture to national income and employment generation, the paper explores the linkages among water resources investments, agricultural growth, employment, and poverty alleviation. It examines the potential for expansion in irrigation for vertical and horizontal growth in agricultural productivity, via gains in yield and cropping area to boost the agricultural output. Factors constraining such potential, in terms of scarcity and degradation of land and water resources, and poor governance and weak institutions, are also outlined. The paper argues that increased investments in land and water resources and related rural infrastructure are a key pathway to enhance agricultural productivity and to catalyze agricultural and economic growth for effective poverty alleviation.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Hanjra, MA (Corresponding Author), Charles Sturt Univ, CSIRO Land \& Water, Int Ctr Water Food Secur, Wagga Wagga, NSW, Australia.

From the biographical approach, expressions of the multiple forms that this violence acquires (direct, structural, cultural) are addressed in the narratives of ten cis and trans migrant women of Latin American origin who reside in the cities of Antofagasta and Santiago, located in the north and central Chile, respectively, and who have an active participation in social organizations that carry out community care tasks, although these labours are not part of the purposes and main actions of these organizations. The approach is carried out around the idea of politicization in two senses: first, from the proposal to politicize sex-gender violence -that is, to make visible the power relations that make it possible and the historical processes that have led to the construction of ``violent{''} bodies and lives from the framework that intersects gender and sexuality with foreignness, ethnicity, ``race{''} and class, among other dimensions-; and, second, from the analysis of experiences of politicization of some of these migrant women in which this sex-gender violence is re-signified as the engine of their social participation, a re-signification crossed by the tensions and contradictions that this channeling of participatory action in tasks characterized by sex-gender inequality such as care implies. Although it is concluded that the scope of these experiences in the transformation of this sex-gender violence is fundamentally limited to the individual scale of intra-domestic violence, it is proposed that these organizational experiences, in their daily actions and practices, silently and in the long run term undermine the liminality of the foreigner in relation to the recognition of rights by the State of residence, which harbors transformative potentialities of the idea of citizenship, at least from that practical dimension.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Stang, MF (Corresponding Author), Univ Catolica Silva Henriquez, Ctr Invest Ciencias Sociales \& Juventud Cisju, Santiago, Chile.

Business planning and programme selection practices ignored childcare, rendering it a solely private matter, invisible to public scrutiny. Yet this childcare barrier became both a cause and a consequence of business failure. Participants' experiences of combining trading and childcare varied by gender. All mothers and one father had complex strategies for synchronising trading and childcare responsibilities. However, these strategies soon collapsed, contributing to business closure. Most fathers relied on the childrens' mother to organise and conduct continuous care, but this was dependent on fathers becoming breadwinners through profitable trading which was not achieved. There is growing policy recognition of the importance of the childcare barrier to paid work for lower income families and for self-employed women in the United Kingdom.

Despite decades of veterinary and other interventions, welfare issues persist with equids working in brick kilns. Engagement with all stakeholders is integral to creating abiding improvements to working equid welfare as interventions based purely on reactive measures fail to provide sustainable solutions. Equid owners, particularly those in low to middle-income countries (LMICs), may have issues such as opportunity, capacity, gender or socio-economic status, overriding their ability to care well for their own equids. These ``blind spots{''} are frequently overlooked when organizations develop intervention programs to improve welfare. This study aims to highlight the lives of the poorest members of Indian society, and will focus on working donkeys specifically as they were the only species of working equids present in the kilns visited. We discuss culture, status, religion, and social influences, including insights into the complexities of cultural ``blind spots{''} which complicate efforts by NGOs to improve working donkey welfare when the influence of different cultural and societal pressures are not recognized or acknowledged. Employing a mixed-methods approach, we used the Equid Assessment Research and Scoping (EARS) tool, a questionnaire based equid welfare assessment tool, to assess the welfare of working donkeys in brick kilns in Northern India. In addition, using livelihoods surveys and semi-structured interviews, we established owner demographics, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, religion and their personal accounts of their working lives and relationships to their donkeys. During transcript analysis six themes emerged: caste, ethnicity, inherited knowledge; social status, and impacts of ethnic group and caste; social status and gender; migration and shared suffering; shared suffering, compassion; religious belief, species hierarchy. The lives led by these, marginalized communities of low status are driven by poverty, exposing them to exploitation, lack of community cohesion, and community conflicts through migratory, transient employment. This vulnerability influences the care and welfare of their working donkeys, laying bare the inextricable link between human and animal welfare. Cultural and social perspectives, though sometimes overlooked, are crucial to programs to improve welfare, where community engagement and participation are integral to their success.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Watson, TL (Corresponding Author), Donkey Sanctuary, Sidmouth, Devon, England.

ECHO Autism: Early Intervention clinic consists of biweekly sessions focused on early identification and management of evidence-based practices for young children with ASD. It is an adaptation of the ECHO Autism clinic that has been proven effective for primary care providers.

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in increased sex and gender disparities in disease risk and mortalities, decreased harm reduction services and reduced access to healthcare. These health crises intersect with increased drug use and drug poisoning deaths, houselessness and other structural and social factors most acutely among historically underserved groups. We aim to explore the social and structural barriers and facilitators to HIV care and harm reduction services experienced by people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Manitoba. Methods and analysis Our study draws on participatory action research design. Guiding the methodological design are the lived experiences of PLHIV. In-depth semi-structured face-to- face interviews and quantitative questionnaires will be conducted with two groups: (1) persons aged >= 18 years living or newly diagnosed with HIV and (2) service providers who work with PLHIV. Data collection will include sex, gender, sociodemographic information, income and housing, experiences with the criminal justice system, sexual practices, substance use practices and harm reduction access, experiences with violence and support, HIV care journey (since diagnosis until present), childhood trauma and a decision-making questionnaire. Data will be analysed intersectionally, employing grounded theory for thematic analysis, sex-based and gender-based analysis and social determinants of health and syndemic framework to understand the experiences of PLHIV in Manitoba.

A randomized trial of low vs. high intensity wellness coaching by CHWs was initiated. During this process, numerous policy issues emerged and were tracked. We present a case study illustrating how we identified, tracked, and engaged with emerging policy initiatives. Methods: Between September 2011 and August 2017, policy initiatives addressing obesity-related disparities among Utah women and girls were identified, tracked in a shared document, and updated regularly. Policies were classified by level (organizational, local, and statewide) and by focus (healthy eating, active living, and promotion of community health workers). CHC-UWAG engagement with policy work was also documented and tracked. Results: Broad dissemination of study findings generated interest in the role of CHWs in addressing obesity. Partnering community-based organizations implemented policies focused on healthy eating and physical activity. Barriers to the broader use of CHWs in Utah were addressed in policy initiatives including the formation of a Utah Public Health Association Section for CHWs and a statewide CHW Coalition with involvement of CHC-UWAG members. Conclusions: The regular solicitation of information about policy initiatives resulted in successful policy tracking and engagement in policy work. The utilization of a gender-based approach helped illuminate the impact of emerging policies on the health of women and girls.

Populism can be described as proffering of material goods in return for electoral support. Voters remain loyal to the party because they expect to receive benefits in exchange. It was important reason Law and Justice won election. During the election campaign, they have promised to give monthly PLN 500 (epsilon 114) in cash handouts to families for every second and subsequent child. In effect Law and Justice party (PiS) won absolute majority in the Parliament and Senate in 2015 elections. They did as promise and after more than a year from election support for ruling, PiS is still climbed, despite Polish government is clearly threatening democratic principles. How could be explained this phenomenon in a country like Poland? Maybe the mass support for populist PiS reflects growing socioeconomic inequalities and socially insecure. After decades of communist rule, Poland transitioned to a democratic government and a market economy. For more than two decades, the country was developing at a pace exceeding an average of 4\% a year. On the other hand, in Poland is rapidly rising level of wealth and income inequality and mass support for populist political parties. PiS, a right-wing party influenced by the country's powerful Catholic church, has long argued that the fruits of Poland's economic growth over the past decade have been felt only by the minority from urban middle classes. Rewarding working-class people, who typically have larger families and live in rural areas, mainly in the country's poorer eastern regions, was a key part of the party's election victory. The analyse of values, principles and goals of social policy will show that the new family benefit founded by PiS has nothing to do with social policy or with populist politics. Its meaning PiS simply used social policy as electoral investment instrument for attracting electoral support and buying votes. This situation is very dangerous for democracy and for the future of civil society in Poland.}, Type = {Proceedings Paper}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Bednarz, M (Corresponding Author), Pomeranian Univ Slupsk, Slupsk, Poland.

Historically, this population is more likely to be uninsured and to suffer from greater morbidities, poorer health outcomes and quality of life, and lower life expectancies compared to all other United States aging populations, representing a neglected group within the healthcare system. Despite the pervasive belief that the Indian Health Service will address all their health-related needs, American Indian elders are negatively affected by gaps in insurance and lack of access to health care. While the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act included provisions to ameliorate disparities for American Indians, its future is uncertain. In this context, American Indian elders with variable health literacy must navigate a complex and unstable healthcare system, regardless of where they seek care. Methods: This community-driven study features a mixed-method, participatory design to examine help-seeking behavior and healthcare experiences of American Indian elders in New Mexico, in order to develop and evaluate a tailored intervention to enhance knowledge of, access to, and use of insurance and available services to reduce healthcare disparities. This study includes qualitative and quantitative interviews combined with concept mapping and focus groups with American Indian elders and other key stakeholders. Discussion: The information gathered will generate new practical knowledge, grounded in actual perspectives of American Indian elders and other relevant stakeholders, to improve healthcare practices and policies for a population that has been largely excluded from national and state discussions of healthcare reform. Study data will inform development and evaluation of culturally tailored programming to enhance understanding and facilitate negotiation of the changing landscape of health care by American Indian elders. This work will fill a gap in research on public insurance initiatives, which do not typically focus on this population, and will offer a replicable model for enhancing the effects of such initiatives on other underserved groups affected by healthcare inequities.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Willging, CE (Corresponding Author), Pacific Inst Res \& Evaluat, Behavioral Hlth Res Ctr Southwest, 851 Univ Blvd SE,Suite 101, Albuquerque, NM 87106 USA.

Complementary log-log ordinal logistic regressions were run to analyze the relationship between Ghanaian social work students' sociodemographic variables and their perceptions of the central government's role in addressing social issues in Ghana. Findings The results of this study demonstrated that there are indeed differences between Ghanaian social work students by age, gender, marital status, and number of children on their perceptions of the role of the government in addressing social issues in Ghana. The findings revealed that social work students who were female, younger, nonmarried, or without children were more likely to perceive that the government should ensure employment, health insurance, and equal opportunities to Ghanaians. Moreover, the findings revealed that social work students with one or more children were less likely to perceive that the government should ensure health insurance.

However, when production adjustments to paddy rice started in the 1970s, the original agricultural practice was changed to a combination of paddy rice and a rotating crop of soybeans along with a secondary crop of wheat/barley. Further, since the 1970s, issues such as competition between agricultural land use and urban land use, income disparity between agricultural and non-agricultural employment, and a shortage of farming successors became serious, which in turn caused great difficulty in sustaining agriculture and farmland. Under such circumstances, farmers in the Saga plain started to develop rural community-based farming as a strategy to sustain agriculture and farmland, as well as to manage the harvesting and drying process of rice, wheat/barley, and soybean collaboratively. Consequently, the block rotation system of cultivating paddy rice and soybeans together with shared use of rice planting and harvesting machines progressed and agriculture and farmland that combined rice, wheat/barley, and soybeans in the region tended to survive. On the other hand, due to a lack of leadership, community cohesion, and full-time farmers, some rural community-based farms began to be converted into agricultural corporations as another strategy. This strategy was encouraged by a new national agricultural policy. There were also farmers who did not participate in rural community-based farming, and many of them were full-time farmers who functioned as certified farmers. Such full-time farmers have expanded the scale of managing arable land by purchasing and leasing farmland (paddy field) from part-time farmers, both inside and outside the region, with the intention of securing successors to carry on agriculture. Thus, large-scale rice farmers gradually amalgamated the paddy fields of part-time farmers and expanded the scale of agricultural management. There were two types of large-scale farmer-farmers maintaining relationships with rural community-based farming and agricultural cooperatives such as JA, and independent farmers who had a tendency to become agricultural corporations. The decision to become an agricultural corporation was largely influenced by several key factors including the existence of a successor to continue farming, managerial skills of business operators, and the level of the family workforce of farmers. In other words, as a result of securing successors, large-scale rice farmers could start businesses such as drying preparation facilities, and build their own sales networks. Further, in order to control substantial production costs, the family workforce was used for production, processing, clerical work, and sales promotions. As a result, agriculture in the Saga plain was supported by rural community-based farming, independent large-scale paddy farmers, and large-scale paddy farmers incorporated into agricultural organizations, and these divisions of the management strategy were based on the degree of agricultural labor and community bonding forces. A series of distinctive strategies largely contributed to the survival and development of agriculture and farmland in the Saga plain.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Japanese}, Affiliation = {Kikuchi, T (Corresponding Author), Tokyo Metropolitan Univ, Grad Sch Urban Environm Sci, Hachioji, Tokyo 1920397, Japan.

This gap in understanding limits the development of effective interventions to improve the mental health of people with disabilities. Methods: We used four waves of data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey (2011-14) to compare self-reported mental health between individuals who acquired any disability (n = 387) and those who remained disability-free (n = 7936). We tested three possible pathways from disability acquisition to mental health, examining the effect of material, psychosocial and behavioural mediators. The effect was partitioned into natural direct and indirect effects through the mediators using a sequential causal mediation analysis approach. Multiple imputation using chained equations was used to assess the impact of missing data. Results: Disability acquisition was estimated to cause a five-point decline in mental health {[} estimated mean difference: -5.3, 95\% confidence interval (CI) -6.8, -3.7]. The indirect effect through material factors was estimated to be a 1.7-point difference (-1.7, 95\% CI -2.8, -0.6), explaining 32\% of the total effect, with a negligible proportion of the effect explained by the addition of psychosocial characteristics (material and psychosocial: -1.7, 95\% CI -3.0, -0.5) and a further 5\% by behavioural factors (material-psychosocial-behavioural: -2.0, 95\% CI -3.4, -0.6). Conclusions: The finding that the effect of disability acquisition on mental health operates predominantly through material rather than psychosocial and behavioural factors has important implications. The results highlight the need for better social protection, including income support, employment and education opportunities, and affordable housing for people who acquire a disability.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Aitken, Z (Corresponding Author), Univ Melbourne, Melbourne Sch Populat \& Global Hlth, Ctr Hlth Equ, 207 Bouverie St, Carlton, Vic 3010, Australia.

My results show that the higher the probability that the wife earns more than her husband, the less likely she is to engage in a formal job, providing evidence that gender norms affect not only the quantity of labour supply (i.e. labour force participation and hours of work), but also the quality of jobs in which women are employed. Moreover, I also identify meaningful effects of the norm on men: those with lower potential earnings than their wives react to the norm by self-selecting into better-paid formal jobs.

This paper sheds new light on motherhood pay gaps by investigating the contribution of an understudied dynamic-mothers' overrepresentation in low-paying workplaces. Estimating between-and within-establishment wage gaps with nationally representative Canadian linked employer-employee data reveals that segregation in low-paying establishments accounts for the bulk of mothers' wage disadvantage relative to childless women. Pay gaps net of human capital differences are not chiefly a result of mothers' lower wages vis-a-vis similar women in a given workplace, but rather stem from the fact that mothers are disproportionately employed in workplaces that pay all employees relatively poorly. Having identified the importance of between-establishment segregation, additional analyses probe support for two theories about underlying mechanisms: compensating differentials tied to family-supportive work contexts, and discrimination. While each plays a role, evidence is strongest for discrimination, with organizational characteristics that tend to reduce opportunities for discrimination also dramatically reducing or eliminating motherhood pay gaps.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Fuller, S (Corresponding Author), Univ British Columbia, Dept Sociol, 6303 NW Marine Dr, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z1, Canada.

It helps address a gap in information for stakeholders and establishes a baseline for more focused research and interventions efforts for the country's sector. Charcoal is often perceived as a maligned part of the energy ladder, mainly due to the environmental and health effects of its end use. This fuel is generally a small part of energy policies or left out altogether. Main efforts to curtail its impacts are aimed at reducing its use. The hope is that households will move away from this fuel all together. But evidence shows that cultural preference, socio-economic factors, and flaws in the concept of the energy ladder will ensure charcoal continues to be a significant part of the energy portfolio in Sub-Saharan Africa. The production phase of the fuel has received little attention particularly when considering the large environmental and social impacts faced by producers. In Liberia, where over 90\% of the urban population depends on this fuel, very little is known about the situation faced by producers and the impacts resulting from it. The research team surveyed producers in key charcoal-production areas of Liberia and interviewed stakeholders from governmental and non-profit agencies. Results show that a majority of survey respondents do not replant when harvesting for production and use traditional earth mound kilns. Child labor and physical injury were common among respondents. Gender disparities and a lack of institutional support or formalization of the industry were identified. Policies aimed at the production phase of charcoal are generally absent in the country. Further research is needed to fully understand the situation in Liberia and more engagement with producers will be key. However, these initial findings point to the need for focused attention on the production phase of the fuel and attempt to fill the gap of available data from the field.

State-level socioeconomic factors might be important contributors to geographic differences in heart disease mortality. This study examined the association between state-level minimum wage increases above the federal minimum wage and heart disease death rates from 1980 to 2015 among `working age' individuals aged 35-64 years in the US. Annual, inflation-adjusted state and federal minimum wage data were extracted from legal databases and annual state-level heart disease death rates were obtained from CDC Wonder. Although most minimum wage and health studies to date use conventional regression models, we employed marginal structural models to account for possible time-varying confounding. Quasi-experimental, marginal structural models accounting for state, year, and state x year fixed effects estimated the association between increases in the state-level minimum wage above the federal minimum wage and heart disease death rates. In models of `working age' adults (35-64 years old), a \$ 1 increase in the state-level minimum wage above the federal minimum wage was on average associated with similar to 6 fewer heart disease deaths per 100,000 (95\% CI: -10.4, -1.99), or a state-level heart disease death rate that was 3.5\% lower per year. In contrast, for older adults (65+ years old) a \$ 1 increase was on average associated with a 1.1\% lower state-level heart disease death rate per year (b=-28.9 per 100,000, 95\% CI: -71.1, 13.3).

In the absence of an alternative, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is currently used as a proxy measure of well-being, but this has many serious short-comings such as, not taking into account unpaid contributions made to well-being, or providing a means for monitoring the extent to which natural capital is being drawn down or Maintained. Calculation of the GPI starts with the personal consumption component of GDP and adjusts this figure up or down for a range of additional social and economic factors. In this chapter, we describe the GPI calculation process that has been developed for New Zealand for the period 1970 to 2006. Social factors include income inequality, non-defensive public consumption, unemployment, underemployment, overwork, the services from public capital, household and community work, commuting, private defensive expenditure on health, and crime. Environmental factors considered include loss and damage to terrestrial ecosystems, loss of wetlands, soils and air quality, land degradation, climate change, reduced water quality, ozone depletion, loss of renewable resources, and noise pollution. Each of these factors constitutes a consumption or replenishment of non-financial forms of capital critical to the nation's well-being. At the broadest level, we found that GDP and the GPI were similar for the period preceding the reforms of the 1980s. Subsequently, the two measures diverged substantially. Whereas GDP doubled, the GPI increased by less than 50\%. In both cases, most of this increase occurred from the early 1990s onwards. The data reveal areas where well-being is under pressure, and opportunities for redirecting policy in order to maximise well-being. Although refinements are needed before the measure can feature routinely in the country's national accounting, the GPI provides new insights into the country's development, and the calculation framework can be used to drive data improvement efforts.}, Type = {Article; Book Chapter}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Forgie, VE (Corresponding Author), Massey Univ, Ecol Econ Res New Zealand, Private Bag 11222, Palmerston North 4442, New Zealand.

Methods: Data from 2 sources were integrated: (1) data from the Association of American Medical Colleges' Consumer Survey of Health Care Access (2014-2019), which included measures of self reported healthcare access, healthcare quality, and provider racial discrimination and (2) administrative data compiled to index state-level racism. State-level racism composite scores were calculated from federal sources (U.S. Census, Department of Labor, Department of Justice). The data set comprised 21,030 adults (n=2,110 Black, n=18,920 White) who needed care within the past year. Participants were recruited from a national panel, and the survey employed age-insurance quotas. Logistic and linear regressions were conducted in 2020, adjusting for demographic, geographic, and health-related covariates. Results: Among White individuals, more state-level racism was associated with 5\% higher odds of being able to get care and 6\% higher odds of sufficient time with provider. Among Black individuals, more state-level racism was associated with 8\% lower odds of being able to get care. Provider racial discrimination was also associated with 80\% lower odds of provider explaining care, 77\% lower odds of provider answering questions, and 68\% lower odds of sufficient time with provider. Conclusions: State-level racism may engender benefits to healthcare access and quality for White individuals and may decrease access for Black individuals. Disparities may be driven by both White advantage and Black disadvantage. State-level policies may be the actionable levers of healthcare inequities with implications for preventive medicine.

Understanding the reasons for this racial and ethnic difference is necessary to identify targets for future interventions to improve advance care planning in these populations. Methods: The aim of the study was to evaluate whether racial and ethnic differences in advance directive possession are explained by other demographic factors, religious characteristics, and personal health values. A general population survey was conducted in a nationally representative sample using a web-enabled survey panel of American adults aged 50 and older (n = 2154). Results: In a sample of older Americans, white participants are significantly more likely to possess advance directives (44.0\%) than black older Americans (24.0\%, p < 0.001) and Hispanic older Americans (29.0\%, p = 0.006). Gender, age, retired or disabled employment status, educational attainment, religious affiliation, Internet access, preferences for physician-centered decision making, and desiring longevity regardless of functional status were independent predictors of advance directive possession. In fully adjusted multivariable models with all predictors included, black older Americans remained significantly less likely than white older Americans to have an advance directive (odds ratio {[}OR] = 0.42, 95\% confidence interval {[}CI] = 0.24-0.75), whereas the effect of Hispanic ethnicity was no longer statistically significant (OR = 0.65, 95\% CI = 0.39-1.1). Conclusion: In a nationally representative sample, black race is an independent predictor for advance directive possession. This association remains even after adjustment for other demographic variables, religious characteristics, and personal health values. These findings support targeted efforts to mitigate racial disparities in access to advance care planning.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Huang, IA (Corresponding Author), 420 East Ohio St,28G, Chicago, IL 60611 USA.

Methods: A working group of the American Public Health Association Genomics Forum Policy Committee engaged in monthly meetings to examine ongoing literature and identify policy alternatives in the coverage of cancer genetic services for marginalized groups. 589 items were collected; 408 examined. Efforts continued from February 2015 through September 2020. Results: African Americans and Latinos have shown 7-8 \% drops in uninsured rates since the Exchanges opened. The ACA has increased BRCA1/2 test availability while several disparities remain, including by sex. Rural testing and screening utilization rates have improved. Medicaid expansion and the inclusion of Medicare in the ACA have resulted in mixed improvements in colorectal cancer screening rates in marginalized groups. Conclusion: Cancer genetic testing and screening to date have only partially benefited from healthcare reforms. Sensitivity to cost concerns and further monitoring of emerging data are needed. A reduction in disparities depends on the availability of private insurance, Medicaid and Medicare to the marginalized. Attention to value-based design and the way cancer benefits are translated into actual testing and screening are crucial. Policy Summary: The findings suggest the need for further benefits-related health agency interpretation of and amendments to the ACA, continued Medicaid and innovative Medicare expansion, and incorporation of cancer services values-based considerations at several levels, aimed at reducing group disparities.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Modell, SM (Corresponding Author), Univ Michigan, Sch Publ Hlth, Ctr Publ Hlth \& Community Genom, M5049 SPH 2,1415 Washington Hts, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 USA.

The results suggest that population diversity is one of the causes of increasing urban crime. After considering the endogeneity problem and testing the robustness from different perspectives, the conclusion remains unchanged. The results of mediation tests indicate that social trust is an important mediator variable, that is, population diversity leads to an increase of crime rate when the level of social trust is low. Moreover, the results also show that the impact of population diversity on crime is much weaker when property rights protections are more complete, people have more confidence in the court system, and the government spends more on education and social security. This shows that better institutions can, to some extent, replace the role of non-market forces, thereby curbing the negative impact of population diversity on crime rates. It also suggests that public expenditure can reduce the likelihood of crime by increasing the opportunity cost of crime. This paper provides empirical evidence valuable to government crime control policies in China.

Responses were obtained from 184 organizations, primarily from Finland, Spain, and the United Kingdom (UK). The majority of respondents offered a wide range of services with 83\% offering SE and about half having begun offering it in the last 5 years. The data showed many organizations offering services in addition to SE (e. g., vocational training or sheltered work provision). There was significant variation in provision of key elements of SE, particularly workplace support. This may disadvantage people with intellectual disabilities (ID). Funding of SE varied across areas, with 22\% overall reliant on short-term European funding. People with ID were the largest group of users by ``minorities{''} in Finland and Spain. Most worked more than 24 h per week, with only a minority having permanent contracts. Hours of support were generally low. The authors conclude that funding for SE is fragile and that variations in the model used may disadvantage people with more severe ID, and thus lead to less effective SE. Fewer hours worked in the UK than elsewhere suggest a lack of harmonization of welfare benefit legislation provision across the EU, again affecting people with ID disproportionately.

Many communities depend financially on agriculture, while water scarcity and associated policy may trigger farmland retirement further hindering socioeconomic opportunities. Here we propose a multi-benefit framework to repurpose cropland in buffers inside and around (400-m and 1600-m buffers) 154 rural disadvantaged communities of the Central Valley to promote socioeconomic opportunities, environmental benefits, and business diversification. We estimate the potential for (1) reductions in water and pesticide use, nitrogen leaching, and nitrogen gas emissions, (2) managed aquifer recharge, and (3) economic and employment impacts asso-ciated with clean industries and solar energy. Retiring cropland within 1600-m buffers can result in reductions in water use of 2.18 km3/year, nitrate leaching into local aquifers of 105,500 t/year, greenhouse gas emissions of 2,232,000 t CO2-equivalent/year, and 5388 t pesticides/year, with accompanying losses in agricultural revenue of US\$4213 mil-lion/year and employment of 25,682 positions. Buffer repurposing investments of US\$27 million/year per community for ten years show potential to generate US\$101 million/year per community (total US\$15,578 million/year) for 30 years and 407 new jobs/year (total 62,697 jobs/year) paying 67 \% more than prior farmworker jobs. In the San Joaquin Valley (southern Central Valley), where groundwater overdraft averages 2.3 km3/year, potential water use reduction is 1.8 km3/year. We have identified 99 communities with surficial soils adequate for aquifer recharge and canals/rivers within 1600 m. This demonstrates the potential of managed aquifer recharge in buffered zones to sub-stantially reduce overdraft. The buffers framework shows that well-planned land repurposing near disadvantaged com-munities can create multiple benefits for farmers and industry stakeholders, while improving quality of life in disadvantaged communities and producing positive externalities for society.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Fernandez-Bou, AS (Corresponding Author), Univ Calif Merced, 5200 North Lake Rd,Sustainable Res \& Engn Bldg, Merced, CA 95343 USA.

Theoretically, support for conservation from the various types of stakeholder inside and outside protected areas is maximized if stakeholders benefit proportionally to the opportunity costs they bear. The disproportional benefit distribution among stakeholders can erode their support for or lead to the failure of ecotourism and conservation. Using Wolong Nature Reserve for Giant Pandas (China) as an example, we demonstrate two types of uneven distribution of economic benefits among four major groups of stakeholders. First, a significant inequality exists between the local rural residents and the other types of stakeholder. The rural residents are the primary bearers of the cost of conservation, but the majority of economic benefits (investment, employment, and goods) in three key ecotourism sectors (infrastructural construction, hotels/restaurants, and souvenir sales) go to other stakeholders. Second, results show that the distribution of economic benefits is unequal among the rural residents inside the reserve. Most rural households that benefit from ecotourism are located near the main road and potentially have less impact on panda habitat than households far from the road and closer to panda habitats. This distribution gap is likely to discourage conservation support from the latter households, whose activities are the main forces degrading panda habitats. We suggest that the unequal distribution of the benefits from ecotourism can be lessened by enhancing local participation, increasing the use of local goods, and encouraging relocation of rural households closer to ecotourism facilities.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {He, GM (Corresponding Author), Michigan State Univ, Dept Fisheries \& Wildlife, Ctr Syst Integrat \& Sustainabil, E Lansing, MI 48824 USA.

It also describes the evidence gained on the barriers and facilitators of WA process to sustain employment. Methods We reviewed systematically current scientific evidence about effectiveness of WA among disabled persons. The outcomes were employment, work ability, and cost-benefit. Qualitative studies of employment facilitators and barriers were also included. The population comprised people with physical disability, visual impairment, hearing impairment, cognitive disability, or mental disability, aged 18-68 years. CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, Embase, Medic, OTseeker, PEDro, PsycInfo, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for peer-reviewed articles published in English from January 1990 to November 2012. Results Three quantitative (one randomized controlled, one concurrently controlled, and one cohort) and eight qualitative studies met the inclusion criteria. There was moderate evidence that specific types of WA (vocational counselling and guidance, education and self-advocacy, help of others, changes in work schedules, work organization, and special transportation) promote employment among physically disabled persons and reduce costs. There was low evidence that WA (liaison, education, work aids, and work techniques) coordinated by case managers increases return to work and is cost-effective when compared with the usual care of persons with physical and cognitive disabilities. The key facilitators and barriers of employment were self-advocacy, support of the employer and community, amount of training and counselling, and flexibility of work schedules and work organization. Conclusions More high-quality studies using validated measures of the work ability and functioning of disabled persons are needed. The identified barriers and facilitators found in the qualitative studies should be used to develop quantitative study designs.}, Type = {Review}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Nevala, N (Corresponding Author), Finnish Inst Occupat Hlth, Topeliuksenkatu 41 A, Helsinki 00250, Finland.

The PHN model has not been systematically adapted to meet the needs of PWD. In this article, we describe the collaborative process of developing Our Peers-Empowerment and Navigational Supports (OP-ENS), an evidence-informed PHN intervention for Medicaid beneficiaries with physical disabilities in Chicago, IL. USA. Our Peers-Empowerment and Navigational Supports is a 12-month community-based PHN intervention that pairs Medicaid beneficiaries with physical disabilities (peers) with disability PHNs who use a structured recursive process of barrier identification and asset mapping, goal setting. and action planning to help peers meet their health care needs. Our Peers-Empowerment and Navigational Supports was developed by a collaborative team that included disability rights leaders, representatives from a Medicaid managed care organization. and academic disability health care justice researchers. We highlight both the conceptual and empirical evidence that informed OP-ENS as well as the lessons learned that can assist future developers.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Magasi, S (Corresponding Author), Univ Illinois, Dept Occupat Therapy, 1919 W Taylor St, Chicago, IL 60612 USA.

The aim of this study was to examine what drives increases in opioid overdose death among Black Americans based on the experience of key stakeholders.MethodsFocus groups were conducted with stakeholders providing substance use prevention services in Black communities in St. Louis, MO (n = 14). One focus group included peer advocates and volunteers conducting outreach-based services and one included active community health workers. Focus groups were held at community partner organizations familiar to participants. Data collection was facilitated by an interview guide with open-ended prompts. Focus groups were audio recorded and professionally transcribed. Transcripts were analyzed using grounded theory to abstract line-by-line codes into higher order themes and interpret their associations.ResultsA core theme was identified from participants' narratives suggesting that opioid overdose death among Black individuals is driven by unmet needs for safety, security, stability, and survival (The 4Ss). A lack of The 4Ss was reflective of structural disinvestment and healthcare and social service barriers perpetuated by systemic racism. Participants unmet 4S needs are associated with health and social consequences that perpetuate overdose and detrimentally impact recovery efforts. Participants identified cultural and relationship-based strategies that may address The 4Ss and mitigate overdose in Black communities.ConclusionsKey stakeholders working in local communities to address racial inequities in opioid overdose highlighted the importance of upstream interventions that promote basic socioeconomic needs. Local outreach efforts utilizing peer services can provide culturally congruent interventions and promote harm reduction in Black communities traditionally underserved by US health and social systems.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Banks, DE (Corresponding Author), Univ Missouri, Dept Psychol Sci, One Univ Blvd,325 Stadler Hall, St Louis, MO 65211 USA.

Results:Tensions exist between dedifferentiation aims and the lived experiences of people with intellectual disabilities, who often struggled to achieve in areas including independent community inclusion and paid employment. Conclusion:Dedifferentiation has disadvantages for people with intellectual disabilities. It can underestimate and mask needs that people experience in relation to their disabilities.

In fact, in a framework such as that in which we live in nowadays (with pertinent concerns about economic and social convergences across several indicators), investigating these disparities would be interesting in order to complement the basis that is considered for the design of social policies. There are few studies considering the approaches here developed for this topic. The objective of this study is to analyse the disparities in the average monthly earnings received by employees across Portuguese mainland municipalities over the period 2004-2012, considering as additional analysis criteria geographical location, gender, levels of qualification, levels of education, economic sectors, professional activities, and further qualifications. For this both a cluster and factor analysis were considered to better identify municipalities with similar characteristics and correlations among variables. The results show that the disparities in the monthly average earnings between the Portuguese municipalities are related to three indexes associated with gender, qualifications, and chosen professions. The findings presented are specific to the Portuguese framework; however, the approaches developed in this study may be applied in other contexts to explore the dynamics related with the topic of social justice.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Martinho, VJPD (Corresponding Author), Polytech Inst Viseu IPV, Agr Sch ESAV, Viseu 3504-510, P-3504510 Viseu, Portugal.

Palliative care is slowly gaining momentum in Jamaica but requires a highly skilled workforce, including nurses. Out-migration of nurses to wealthier countries negatively impacts the delivery of health care services and may impede palliative care capacity-building. This critical review aimed to explore the evidence pertaining to the nurse migration effect on the integration of palliative care services in Jamaica and to formulate hypotheses about potential mitigating strategies. Methods A comprehensive search in the PubMed, CINAHL, and ProQuest PAIS databases aimed to identify articles pertinent to nurse migration in the Caribbean context. Grant and Booth's methodologic framework for critical reviews was used to evaluate the literature. This methodology uses a narrative, chronologic synthesis and was guided by the World Health Organization (WHO) Public Health Model and the Model of Sustainability in Global Nursing. Results Data from 14 articles were extracted and mapped. Poorer patient outcomes were in part attributed to the out-migration of the most skilled nurses. `Push-factors' such as aggressive recruitment by wealthier countries, lack of continuing educational opportunities, disparate wages, and a lack of professional autonomy and respect were clear contributors. Gender inequalities negatively impacted females and children left behind. Poor working conditions were not necessarily a primary reason for nurse migration. Four main themes were identified across articles: (a) globalization creating opportunities for migration, (b) recruitment of skilled professionals from CARICOM by high income countries, (c) imbalance and inequities resulting from migration, and (d) mitigation strategies. Thirteen articles suggested education, partnerships, policy, and incentives as mitigation strategies. Those strategies directly align with the WHO Public Health Model drivers to palliative care integration. Conclusion Emerged evidence supports that nurse migration is an ongoing phenomenon that strains health systems in Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM) countries, with Jamaica being deeply impacted. This critical review demonstrates the importance of strategically addressing nurse migration as part of palliative care integration efforts in Jamaica. Future studies should include targeted migration mitigation interventions and should be guided by the three working hypotheses derived from this review.}, Type = {Review}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Edwards, RL (Corresponding Author), Univ Alabama Birmingham, Sch Nursing, Dept Acute Chron \& Continuing Care, 1720 2nd Ave South, Birmingham, AL 35294 USA.

Yet, the determinants and rationale of gendered access to land are not well understood. This paper argues that gender relations are more than the outcomes of negotiations within households. It explains the importance of social norms, perceptions, and formal and informal rules shaping access to land for male and female farmers at four levels: (1) the household/family, (2) the community, (3) the state, and (4) the market. The framework is applied to Ghana, using the results from qualitative field work. Norms on household and family organization and on men's and women's responsibilities and capabilities play a key role in gendered allocation of resources. However, these norms and perceptions are dynamic and evolve jointly with the development of markets and changes in values of inputs such as labor and land. Theoretical models that represent the gendered distribution of assets as the result of intrahousehold bargaining should be revised, and extrahousehold factors should be included. From a policy perspective, laws that ensure gender equality in terms of inheritance and a more gender-equitable distribution of property upon divorce can play a key role in improving women's property rights. Yet, their impact may be limited where customary rights dominate and social norms and rules continue to discriminate according to gender. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

Over this period of time the country has undergone rapid urbanization leading to accompanying shifts in lifestyle and it suffers a double burden of under-and over-nutrition. Current programmes in the country focus on improving the dietary behaviour of secondary school students. The purpose of this study was to investigate principal's perceptions on barriers to healthy dietary choice among pupils within a socio-ecological framework. Focus groups (n = 11) were carried out with school principals and staff (n = 55) in two rural districts of Sri Lanka. Principals identified a number of barriers to healthy dietary choice by students, which could be found at a number of levels of influence of a socio-ecological framework: (i) structural level barriers included educational and agricultural policies, (ii) living and working level barriers included employment opportunities and local food production, (iii) social and community level barriers included traditions and social/ cultural beliefs and (iv) individual level barriers included knowledge and preference. Findings from this study suggest that the barriers to healthy dietary choice amongst secondary school students in Sri Lanka occur at many levels supporting the use of multifactorial programmes to promote healthy eating. Only from understanding these barriers and finding ways to counter them can we hope to reduce the double burden of under-and over-nutrition the country is currently suffering.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Wickramasinghe, K (Corresponding Author), Univ Oxford, British Heart Fdn Ctr Populat Approaches Noncommu, Nuffield Dept Populat Hlth, Old Rd, Oxford OX3 7LF, England.

Also, engineering is primarily treated as a male-dominated profession, and the authors do not find many women in this sector. What factors contribute to this significant gender differences in engineering education and labour market in India? In this context, this study aims to examine the factors that explain the gender variations in academic performance and labour market outcomes (placement and earnings) of engineering graduates in India.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is based on primary survey data from fourth-year engineering students in Delhi, collected in 2018-2019, with a total sample size of 3186. The study uses Ordinary least square method (OLS) and Heckman selection model to analyse gender differences in academic performance and labour market outcomes of engineering graduates, respectively.FindingsThe study finds that academic performance of male students is around 10.4\% more than female students. However, this difference is heavily influenced by various socioeconomic and institutional factors. Interestingly, 3\% of female engineering graduates have received more job offers than males, which contradicts the common belief that women engineers face job discrimination in the labour market in India. However, the authors find that male engineers earn around 7\% more than female engineers shows the evidence of pro-male gender wage inequality in earnings. The findings support that there is a considerable variation in academic performance and earnings between male and female engineering graduates.Originality/valueWhile the authors find some literature in the area of gender difference in the academic performance and labour market among university graduates in India, studies in the field of engineering education are sparse.

However, the optimism about the VGI has been tempered by two critical issues: inequality in data coverage (social justice) and data quality. It therefore requires a better understanding of the mechanism driving VGI contributions and content quality. With a case of China, this paper demonstrates one potential avenue, examining the associations between VGI coverage/quality and local demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. In particular, VGI data are harvested from the OpenStreetMap for 333 cities in China. VGI coverage is measured by the total volume of different geographic features (point, line and polygon); and VGI quality is described from two aspects: completeness and accuracy. Geographically weighted regression (GWR) shows that both demographic and socioeconomic factors have statistically significant influences on VGI coverage and quality. More specifically, densely populous cities with more young, educated and non-agricultural people enjoy higher VGI coverage and quality. Cities with lower VGI coverage and quality are primarily located in the western and southwestern regions where the ethnic minorities concentrate. High VGI coverage and quality are possibly observed in economically developed cities with high marketization degree. Besides, possibility of high VGI coverage and quality occurs in cities with more labor in scientific research and greater percentage of employers in the tertiary industry. The GWR also demonstrates that the strength and nature of the obtained relationships vary across the 333 cities. The spatial non-stationary relationships may partially answer for the controversial empirical conclusions in earlier case studies at different scales. Quantitative analysis (Gini index, Lorenz curve and Moran's I index) further evidences the great inequality in VGI coverage and quality. It can be safely inferred that the differences in engagement and use of VGI, as a new digital divide, can raise troubling concerns on the social justice implications. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

Previous efforts have mostly relied on various forms of market imperfection to verify the theoretical integrity of this policy, whereas in this article we have raised another Marxian perspective, emphasizing the positive check of minimum wage on overtime work. Classical economists have long recognized the vulnerability of the working class when faced against capitalists, but only Marx has paid special attention to the complicated interaction between hourly/unit wage rates and the length of the working day, proposing that low wage rates would not only hurt workers by forcing them to work overtime, but that it would also hurt the capitalists as a class once large-scale labor degradation kicks in, endangering the very existence of a well-functioning working class for them to employ. Both the inherent conflict of interests between individual capitalists and capitalists as a class and workers' systematic disadvantage against capital serve to call for the intervention of a ``visible hand{''} which is the establishment of a minimum wage. A theoretical model has been proposed to formalize this wage-hour mechanism for the underclass, emphasizing the special constraints they face when making labor supply decisions. We have discussed three different types of income effect, explaining how workers' income might increase with minimum wage and how firms might also benefit from such a process.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Xie, FS (Corresponding Author), Renmin Univ China, Sch Econ, Beijing, Peoples R China.

Declining labor-union density-the percent of workers who are unionized-has precipitated burgeoning income inequity. We examined whether it has also exacerbated racial and educational mortality inequities. Methods From CDC, we obtained state-level all-cause and overdose/suicide mortality overall and by gender, gender-race, and gender-education from 1986-2016. State-level union density and demographic and economic confounders came from the Current Population Survey. State-level policy confounders included the minimum wage, the generosity of Aid to Families with Dependent Children or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, and the generosity of unemployment insurance. To model the exposure-outcome relationship, we used marginal structural modeling. Using state-level inverse probability of treatment-weighted Poisson models, we estimated 3-year moving average union density's effects on the following year's mortality rates. Then, we tested for gender, gender-race, and gender-education effect-modification. Finally, we estimated how racial and educational all-cause mortality inequities would change if union density increased to 1985 or 1988 levels, respectively. Results Overall, a 10\% increase in union density was associated with a 17\% relative decrease in overdose/suicide mortality (95\% confidence interval {[}CI]: 0.70, 0.98), or 5.7 lives saved per 100 000 person-years (95\% CI: -10.7, -0.7). Union density's absolute (lives-saved) effects on overdose/suicide mortality were stronger for men than women, but its relative effects were similar across genders. Union density had little effect on all-cause mortality overall or across subgroups, and modeling suggested union-density increases would not affect mortality inequities. Conclusions Declining union density (as operationalized in this study) may not explain all-cause mortality inequities, although increases in union density may reduce overdose/suicide mortality.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Eisenberg-Guyot, J (Corresponding Author), Univ Washington, Sch Publ Hlth, Dept Epidemiol, 1959 NE Pacific St,Hlth Sci Bldg,F-262,Box 357236, Seattle, WA 98195 USA.

Among them, the clean energy transformation is very crucial. This study evaluates the impact of a set of policies including the development of renewable energy, upgrading heavy industry, and energy efficiency improvement on China's income gap between 2012 and 2050. A dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model with detailed representations of economic activity, an upgraded labor market and disaggregated labor types based on statistical and survey data is used. Our research provides support for the necessity of low-carbon policies to achieve NDC targets. Results show some key findings. First, low-carbon policies have the greatest impact on employment across all energy industries, with negative impacts in most traditional energy sectors and positive impacts in most renewable power sectors. Second, labor will continue to migrate from rural to urban areas with the transformation of the economic structure and the urbanization rate will further increase, reaching a maximum of around 70\%. The reduction of the rural population will bring new opportunities for the modernization of agriculture, increasing the income of rural residents and realizing the equitable development between urban and rural areas. Third, the income gap among urban residents will widen due to the different level of labor demand for employees with different education levels. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.

Support for healthy lifestyle and self-management is paramount, but not adequately implemented in health systems. Process evaluations facilitate understanding why and how interventions work through analyzing the interaction between intervention theory, implementation and context. The Self-Management and Reciprocal Learning for Type 2 Diabetes project implemented and evaluated community-based interventions (peer support program; care companion; and link between facility care and community support) for persons at high risk of or having T2D in a rural community in Uganda, an urban township in South Africa, and socioeconomically disadvantaged urban communities in Sweden. Research design and methods This paper reports implementation process outcomes across the three sites, guided by the Medical Research Council framework for complex intervention process evaluations. Data were collected through observations of peer support group meetings using a structured guide, and semistructured interviews with project managers, implementers, and participants. Results The countries aligned implementation in accordance with the feasibility and relevance in the local context. In Uganda and Sweden, the implementation focused on peer support; in South Africa, it focused on the care companion part. The community-facility link received the least attention. Continuous capacity building received a lot of attention, but intervention reach, dose delivered, and fidelity varied substantially. Intervention-related and context-related barriers affected participation. Conclusions Identification of the key uncertainties and conditions facilitates focus and efficient use of resources in process evaluations, and context relevant findings. The use of an overarching framework allows to collect cross-contextual evidence and flexibility in evaluation design to adapt to the complex nature of the intervention. When designing interventions, it is crucial to consider aspects of the implementing organization or structure, its absorptive capacity, and to thoroughly assess and discuss implementation feasibility, capacity and organizational context with the implementation team and recipients. These recommendations are important for implementation and scale-up of complex interventions.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {van Olmen, J (Corresponding Author), Univ Antwerp, Dept Family Med \& Populat Hlth, Antwerp, Belgium. van Olmen, Josefien; de Man, Jeroen, Univ Antwerp, Dept Family Med \& Populat Hlth, Antwerp, Belgium.

However, recent national workforce race equality standard (WRES) data show that nearly all NHS organisations in the UK are failing to appoint ethnically diverse candidates with equivalent training and qualifications as their white counterparts. This is problematic because workforce diversity is associated with improved patient outcomes and other benefits for staff and organisations. Aim To better understand the reasons behind underrepresentation of ethnically diverse candidates in first NHS healthcare jobs post-qualification and to identify any structural or systemic barriers to employment for such groups. Methods The study was informed by critical theory and the authors' interdisciplinary perspectives as educators and researchers in the healthcare professions. Data collected from semi-structured face-to-face interviews with 12 nurse and physiotherapy recruiting managers from two NHS trusts in London were analysed using a healthcare workforce equity and diversity conceptual lens we developed from the literature. Using this lens, we devised questions to examine six dimensions of equity and diversity in the interview data from recruiting managers. Results Recruiting managers said they valued the benefits of an ethnically diverse workforce for patients and their unit/organisation. However, their adherence to organisational policies for recruitment and selection, which emphasise objectivity and standardisation, acted as constraints to recognising ethnicity as an important issue in recruitment and workforce diversity. Some recruiting managers sense that there are barriers for ethnically diverse candidates but lacked information about workforce diversity, systems for monitoring recruitment, or ways to engage with staff or candidates to talk about these issues. Without this information there was no apparent problem or reason to try alternative approaches. Conclusion These accounts from 12 recruiting managers give a `backstage' view into the reasons behind ethnic inequalities in recruitment to first healthcare job in the UK NHS. Adherence to recruitment and selection policies, which aim to support equality through standardisation and anonymisation, appear to be limiting workforce diversity and creating barriers for ethnically diverse candidates to attain the jobs that they are trained and qualified for. The Healthcare Workforce Equity + Diversity Lens we have developed can help to `raise the curtain on the equality theatre' and inform more inclusive approaches to recruitment such as contextualised recruitment or effective allyship between employers and universities.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Davies, N (Corresponding Author), Brunel Univ London, Coll Hlth Med \& Life Sci, Kingston Lane, Uxbridge UB8 3PH, Middx, England.

The income inequality that exists in Ukraine has negative economic and social consequences. Currently, there is a need to use statistical analysis to study the dynamics of indicators of the level of well-being of the population, the problems of inequality and poverty in Ukraine in the context of the performance by the state of its functions as a subject of social policy in the face of modern challenges and risks. The purpose of this article is to study inequality, assess the extent and trends of this phenomenon in Ukraine, determine the relationship between economic development and socio-economic inequality and develop proposals to reduce it. The dynamics and structure of the main indicators of the level of development of material well-being of the population in the context of statistical evaluation for the period 2000-2020 were analyzed. To analyze the dynamics of the Gini coefficient in Ukraine, the quintile coefficient of differentiation of aggregate income of the population and the quintile coefficient of funds (by aggregate income), the average annual growth/decline in the indexes of physical volume of GDP, real wages, employment and the number of unemployed population, the dynamics of the share of spending on social protection and social welfare in the structure of total budget expenditure and in the GDP of the country. An in-depth statistical analysis of the relationship between average monthly disposable income and the number of people with an average per capita equivalent gross monthly income below the legal subsistence minimum was conducted. In developing the state targeted social program to overcome and prevent poverty in Ukraine, the focus is on ensuring economic growth, stimulating employment and others, increasing money incomes, conducting anti-inflationary policies, investments and targeted assistance for the economic development of certain sectors of the economy.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Cherep, O (Corresponding Author), Zaporizhzhia Natl Univ, Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine.

Evidence indicates that CA increases agricultural productivity, reduces farming labour requirements, and improves soil quality. While CA is practised in several African contexts, little is known about its interaction with gender. This review synthesized knowledge on the interplay of gender and CA in sub-Saharan Africa. The review highlighted the relative neglect of gender issues in research on CA in SSA. Existing research was limited both in quantity and to a few countries in the region. There was also little critical focus on gender as a social phenomenon: a few of the studies conceptualized gender in terms of the socially constructed roles of men and women while the majority framed it in terms of the sexual categories of male and female. Compared to men, and due largely to gendered barriers, including lack of access to land; machinery; inputs; extension services; and credit facilities, women farmers adopted CA less and dis-adopted it more. CA increased women's incomes, labour involvement, household food security, as well as risks for land and crop dispossession by men when farming becomes lucrative. It also increased workloads, employment opportunities and health risks for women. CA positively altered gender relations, boosting women's participation in agricultural decision-making at the household level. Deliberately enlisting women as beneficiaries; working with men to advance their understanding of women's needs in agriculture; and offering agricultural inputs directly to women are some strategies that enhanced women's participation in CA. Gaps in current research on gender and CA include: critical focus on and understanding of gender as a social construct in relation to CA; the long-term impacts on CA for gender relations, incomes for men and women, and women's empowerment; the sustainability of strategies for supporting gendered participation in CA; and the dynamics of gendered access to local farmland markets for CA.}, Type = {Review}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Wekesah, FM (Corresponding Author), African Populat \& Hlth Res Ctr, Nairobi, Kenya.

Amid a surge in workers mobilizing strikes and organizing unions, which faced fierce business opposition in LA, one of the period's most anti-union cities, local state officials discarded initial solutions to industrial conflict - solutions based on state paternalism and involved parties' voluntary compliance - and proposed more robust state interventionist tools. Such efforts were to enhance state authority and power and forge greater class equality by accepting worker rights and limiting business prerogatives, while the officials also obsessively encouraged the economic `wheels be kept turning and the pulse quickened.' Drawing on regional-based archives, we trace local officials navigating and shaping social relations, and investigate the unpredictable, everyday workings of local responses to national-level policy-making. Earlier scholarship on the period highlights the role of leaders, like FDR or Senator Wagner, or business elites crafting seemingly pro-working-class policy, alongside the accounts of structural political economy. We emphasize local state agencies tasked with policy implementation becoming sites of contention for class actors and state officials, reflecting more general patterns but also initiating institutional procedures with enduring implications for US capital-labor relations.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Patros, T (Corresponding Author), NYU, Dept Social \& Cultural Anal, 20 Cooper Sq,4th Floor, New York, NY 10003 USA.

While the strength of a country's primary health care system and its primary care attributes significantly improves populations' health and reduces inequity (differences in health and health care that are unfair and unjust), many areas, such as inequity reduction through the provision of health promotion and preventive services, are not explicitly addressed by general practice. Substantiating the role of primary care in reducing inequity as well as establishing educational training programs geared towards health inequity reduction and improvement of the health and health care of underserved populations are needed. Methods: This paper summarizes the work performed at the World WONCA (World Organization of National Colleges and Academies of Family Medicine) 2013 Meetings' Health Equity Workshop which aimed to explore how a better understanding of health inequities could enable primary care providers (PCPs)/general practitioners (GPs) to adopt strategies that could improve health outcomes through the delivery of primary health care. It explored the development of a health equity curriculum and opened a discussion on the future and potential impact of health equity training among GPs. Results: A survey completed by workshop participants on the current and expected levels of primary care participation in various inequity reduction activities showed that promoting access (availability and coverage) to primary care services was the most important priority. Assessment of the gaps between current and preferred priorities showed that to bridge expectations and actual performance, the following should be the focus of governments and health care systems: forming cross-national collaborations; incorporating health equity and cultural competency training in medical education; and, engaging in initiation of advocacy programs that involve major stakeholders in equity promotion policy making as well as promoting research on health equity. Conclusions: This workshop formed the basis for the establishment of WONCA's Health Equity Special Interest Group, set up in early 2014, aiming to bring the essential experience, skills and perspective of interested GPs around the world to address differences in health that are unfair, unjust, unnecessary but avoidable.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Shadmi, E (Corresponding Author), Univ Haifa, Fac Social Welf \& Hlth Sci, IL-31999 Haifa, Israel.

Yet, it was shown that inequality in the use of childcare services is the norm rather than the exception in European and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. As a result, social inequalities between disadvantaged and advantaged children are likely to be reinforced instead of being narrowed. The aim of this article is to conduct a macro-level analysis exploring which welfare state characteristics are associated with inequality in childcare use. We find that government involvement in the availability, affordability and quality of service provision is related to lower levels of inequality in childcare use. The results also suggest an impact of labour market opportunities and parental leave schemes.

Poor housing, unstable work conditions, caste, class, race and gender based inequities and low incomes have a profound effect on mental health and wellbeing. Such disparities are increasing between, among and within countries and are exacerbated by human rights violations, in institution and in society, stigma and discrimination. Social capital can mediate health outcomes, through trust and reciprocity, political participation, and by mental health service systems, which can be coercive or more open to demand of emancipation and freedom. Societal inequalities affect especially vulnerable groups, and Covid itself had a wider impact on the most socially vulnerable and marginalized populations, suffering for structural discrimination and violence. There are complex relations among these social processes and domains, and mental health inequalities and disparity. Participation and engagement of citizens and community organizations is now required in order to achieve a radical transformation in mental health. A Local and Global Action Plan has been launched recently, by a coalition of organizations representing people with lived experience of mental health care; who use services; family members, mental health professionals, policy makers and researchers, such as the International Mental Health Collaborating Network, the World Federation for Mental Health, the World Association for Psychosocial Rehabilitation, the Global Alliance of Mental Illness Advocacy Networks (GAMIAN), The Mental Health Resource Hub in Chennai, India, The Movement for Global Mental Health (MGMH) and others. The Action Plan addresses the need for fundamental change by focusing on social determinants and achieving equity in mental health care. Equally the need for the politics of wellbeing has to be embedded in a system that places mental health within development and social justice paradigm, enhancing core human capabilities and contrasting discriminatory practices. These targets are for people and organizations to adopt locally within their communities and services, and also to indicate possible innovative solutions to Politics. This global endeavor may represent an alternative to the global mental discourse inspired by the traditional biomedical model.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Mezzina, R (Corresponding Author), World Federat Mental Hlth, Woodbridge, VA 22192 USA.

This is an effective solution for alleviating land fragmentation, facilitating the transfer of surplus rural labor, and improving rural income. Based on the provincial-level survey data from the Ministry of Agriculture of China, this study analyzes the spatio-temporal pattern of cropland circulation based on the cropland circulation rate (CCR), and explores the driving mechanism of cropland circulation from the perspectives of population, economy, agricultural investment, and legalization. The results showed that the CCR exhibited a polarized spatial pattern of ``high value in the east and low value in the west{''} across China. Moreover, we observed significant spatial agglomeration of CCR, with Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai as centers of high CCR values and Sichuan and Gansu as centers of low CCR values. Furthermore, the spatial disparity of CCR showed an obviously narrowing trend during the period from 2014 to 2018. As for the circulation modes of cropland, the dominant mode in China is leasing (sub-contracting), which is easy to implement and directly increases farmers' incomes. This paper further found that the critical driving forces of cropland circulation can be summarized as follows: transformation of rural labor to non-farming occupations, improvement of rural income, and legalization of land circulation markets. It should be noted that many off-farm workers have not given up their management rights for cropland, which is due to the following reasons: unstable job opportunities and insufficient social benefits of off-farm workers, low income from land rent and agricultural production, and lack of legal framework for land circulation. Therefore, urban-rural binary household registration (hukou) and migrant worker employment systems in China should be gradually reformed to accelerate the non-farming transformation of rural labor. Preferential policies for industrial investment can be made to attract more factories to operate in rural areas, which will bring more non-farming jobs to local famers and directly increase their incomes. Moreover, financial subsidy policies, land tenure system reform, and farmland consolidation strategies should also be launched to make land circulation more profitable for both land-givers and land-receivers. Finally, laws and regulations could be perfected and enforced to improve the legalization level of the land circulation market.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Tian, GJ (Corresponding Author), Beijing Normal Univ, Sch Govt, Beijing 100875, Peoples R China.

Design A qualitative research was conducted among a sample of Bangladeshi immigrant men through a community-based participatory research approach. Focus group discussions were conducted to collect the qualitative data where thematic analysis was applied. Setting The focus group discussions were held in various community centres such as individual meeting rooms at public libraries, community halls and so on arranged in collaboration with community organisations while ensuring complete privacy. Participant Thirty-eight adults, Bangladeshi immigrant men, living in Calgary were selected for this study and participated in six different focus groups. The sample represents mostly married, educated, Muslim, Bangla speaking, aged over 25 years, full-time or self-employed and living in an urban centre in Canada >5 years. Result The focus groups have highlighted long wait time as an important barrier. Long wait at the emergency room, difficulties to get access to general physicians when feeling sick, slow referral process and long wait at the clinic even after making an appointment impact their daily chores, work and access to care. Language is another important barrier that impedes effective communication between physicians and immigrant patients, thus the quality of care. Unfamiliarity with the healthcare system and lack of resources were also voiced that hinder access to healthcare for immigrant Bangladeshi men in Canada. However, no gender-specific barriers unique to men have been identified in this study. Conclusion The barriers to accessing PHC services for Bangladeshi immigrant men are similar to that of other visible minority immigrants. It is important to recognise the extent of barriers across various immigrant groups to effectively shape public policy and improve access to PHC.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Turin, TC (Corresponding Author), Univ Calgary, Cumming Sch Med, Dept Family Med, Calgary, AB, Canada.

We sought to identify elements of community engagement as applied within CARS. Methods and Materials Between 2011 and 2018, we collected and analyzed archival and in-depth interview data to identify and explore community engagement across 8 CARS sites. Five to 13 interview participants (mean, 7) at each site were interviewed annually. Participants included project staff and leadership, community members, and representatives from local community organizations (e.g., health departments; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer-serving organizations; faith organizations; businesses; and HIV-service organizations) and universities. Data were analyzed using constant comparison, an approach to grounded theory development. Results Twelve critical elements of community engagement emerged, including commitment to engagement, partner flexibility, talented and trusted leadership, participation of diverse sectors, establishment of vision and mission, open communication, reducing power differentials, working through conflict, identifying and leveraging resources, and building a shared history.

Nevertheless, researchers and practitioners entering the field are largely being trained to assess and control exposures using approaches developed under old models of work and risks. Methods: A speaker series and symposium were organized to broadly explore current challenges and future directions for the occupational health field. Broad themes identified throughout these discussions are characterized and discussed to highlight important future directions of occupational health. Findings: Despite the relatively diverse group of presenters and topics addressed, some important cross-cutting themes emerged. Changes in work organization and the resulting insecurity and precarious employment arrangements change the nature of risk to a large fraction of the workforce. Workforce demographics are changing, and economic disparities among working groups are growing. Globalization exacerbates the `race to the bottom' for cheap labor, poor regulatory oversight, and limited labor rights. Largely, as a result of these phenomena, the historical distinction between work and non-work exposures has become largely artificial and less useful in understanding risks and developing effective public health intervention models. Additional changes related to climate change, governmental and regulatory limitations, and inadequate surveillance systems challenge and frustrate occupational health progress, while new biomedical and information technologies expand the opportunities for understanding and intervening to improve worker health. Conclusion: The ideas and evidences discussed during this project suggest that occupational health training, professional practice, and research evolve towards a more holistic, public health-oriented model of worker health. This will require engagement with a wide network of stakeholders. Research and training portfolios need to be broadened to better align with the current realities of work and health and to prepare practitioners for the changing array of occupational health challenges.}, Type = {Review}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Peckham, TK (Corresponding Author), Univ Washington, Dept Environm \& Occupat Hlth Sci, 4225 Roosevelt Way NE,Suite 100, Seattle, WA 98105 USA.

To improve outcomes for this group, the PROMISE Initiative funded six demonstration programs across the US to test a set of evidence-based services linked to improved employment and educational outcomes, such as case management, benefits counseling, and financial literacy training. Unfortunately, study youth and families did not fully engage in program services, perhaps diminishing effectiveness of the intervention and opportunities for better outcomes. The aim of this descriptive qualitative study was to document family crises experienced by PROMISE participants and explore how these crises contributed to their lack of engagement from the perspectives of case managers who worked with young SSI beneficiaries and their families. Focus groups with nine case managers representing six states from one PROMISE program identified five types of family crises: financial, transportation, behavioral, legal/corrections, and family conflict.

Design A three round Delphi study. Setting A rural hospital. Participants Twenty eight nurses, five doctors, four consumers, two health service managers, two allied health practitioners, one midwife, three community workers, two administrators and three others with hospital affiliation. Main Outcome Measures Consensus at 75\% level of agreement or greater, identifying service gaps which might benefit from NPs and the barriers and enablers impacting on the success of developing and implementing the role. Results Introduce mental health, aged and critical care NPs initially. Barriers and enablers identified as impacting on the development and implementation of the role were: Educational access for isolated rural nurses local cohort learning with employment contracts encompassing fee assistance and designated study time. Acceptance from doctors - supported role provided the proposed service is sustainable. Small teams of NPs would achieve this. Inappropriate Recruitment - NP role matching service need, not individual. Policy and Funding Constraints - clients are best served by NPs working across the care continuum. Co funding by acute and community providers could overcome the current constraints of commonwealth/state payment. Conclusion In developing and implementing NP roles at a rural health service the issues of access to tertiary education, creating a sustainable number of NP positions and financial cooperation from community and acute providers must be taken into account.

Objective/Hypothesis: We interviewed 22 adults across the U.S. with a variety of disabilities and health insurance types to document remaining barriers to health care after ACA coverage expansions. Methods: Telephone interviews were conducted from May to August 2017. Participants were recruited via disability-related organizations and were demographically and geographically diverse. Content analysis of interview transcripts was used to identify major themes related to accessing health care. Results: Five major themes emerged: 1) information and understanding of coverage; 2) out-of-pocket costs; 3) prescription medications; 4) provider networks; and 5) transportation. Barriers in these areas led participants to delay or forgo health care and interfered with their ability to participate in paid employment. Conclusions: The ACA was intended to expand access to insurance coverage, not necessarily meet all health care related needs for people with disabilities. Many barriers remain to accessing needed care for this population, regardless of insurance status. Limited prescription coverage, limited provider networks and steep out-of-pocket costs may be addressed by policy makers at the state or national level. Similarly, having timely and accurate plan information is important in facilitating access to care and insurers should be aware that outdated information can result in missed care. Finally, transportation to appointments can be especially challenging for people with disabilities and insurers should consider options to address this issue. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc.

Neither the traditional historical accounts of welfare state emergence nor the more recent gendered analyses of developed welfare states have provided comparative accounts of its beginnings and trajectories. Employing the newly created historical database of maternity leave, we provide the first global and historical perspective on paid maternity leave policies covering 157 countries from the 1880s to 2018. Focusing on eligibility rather than generosity, we construct a measure of inclusiveness of paid maternity leaves to highlight how paid maternity leave has shaped not only gender but also social inequality, which has, until recently, largely been ignored by the literature on leave policies. The analyses of coverage expansion by sector and the development of eligibility rules reveal how paid maternity leave has historically stratified women workers by occupation and labor market position but is slowly evolving into a more universal social right across a broad range of countries. Potential drivers for this development are identified using multivariate analysis, suggesting a pivotal role for the political empowerment of women in the struggle for gender and social equality.

Many aspects of Women's Leadership are studied in the literature for underrepresentation of women leaders. This study aims to analyse and consolidate the insights about those aspects of Women's Leadership, which gives them a stable and secure position in the organisation, beyond the unseen walls of gender discrimination. These aspects are barriers, enablers, strengths and weaknesses of Women's Leadership. The research method used for the study is a systematic literature review method. Peer-reviewed, scholarly journal articles and book references between 1990 and 2021 identified from the Scopus and Web of Sciences databases are considered for the study. The result showed much uniformity in the `Women's Leadership' phenomenon, globally. This research found that Women's Leadership studies are mostly conducted in areas such as social sciences, business and management, medicine, education, etc. It also found that most women-leadership-related studies are conducted in developed countries where the percentage of women leaders is comparatively higher than in other industries. Still, women leaders in both developed and developing countries face similar barriers during their careers. The gender gap and the glass ceiling they have to break are some of the issues experienced by women in any organisation. Organisational bias, lack of assertiveness and poor networking also pose barriers to Women's Leadership. Yet, there are some enablers for Women's Leadership, such as mentoring, good training programmes and workplace culture. However, maintaining a work-life balance, working under pressure and excluding informal communication are considered as limitations for Women's Leadership. Strengths, such as high emotional intelligence, empathy, democratic leadership style, sincerity and ability to make decisions under critical circumstances benefit the organisation. This study will help to get an integrated and consolidated theoretical review of different aspects of Women's Leadership in the organisation.

Gender Differences in Faculty Thinking About Campus Service}, Journal = {TEACHERS COLLEGE RECORD}, Year = {2016}, Volume = {118}, Number = {8}, Month = {AUG}, Abstract = {Background/Context: Empirical evidence suggests women faculty spend more time in campus service than men, which perpetuates inequality between men and women because research is valued more than service in academic reward systems, especially at research universities. Purpose/Focus of Study: In this study I apply insights from research on gender inequality to examine whether women and men faculty at a research university were thinking about their campus service differently. I add to the literature by (1) making faculty thinking about campus service visible, (2) examining how this thinking is constrained by gender, and the gendered nature of organizations, and (3) revealing how individualistic and cosmopolitan orientations, and communal and local orientations appear together in faculty thinking about campus service. Research Design: My research assistants and I conducted 60-75 minute-long, semistructured interviews with 88 faculty including 34 men and 54 women on their work environment experiences. Interview questions focused on choices that faculty had made to emphasize different kinds of work (teaching, research, service), balance work priorities, and succeed. Findings/Results: Overall, more women framed campus service in communal terms and expressed local orientations toward campus service; more men positioned service as a campus problem, and noted their own interests to avoid or minimize involvement in campus service so as not to hurt their career. In a smaller group of cases, (e.g., four men and five women) the faculty member expressed the dominant pattern for the other gender; however, even in these cases participants provided examples of the dominant pattern for their gender as well. In all cases, women and men were influenced by gendered ways of thinking about work, and gendered organizational practices that permeated their socialization and work environments. Conclusions/Recommendations: Findings suggest that interventions are needed to affect thinking about campus service within university environments, as thinking shapes gendered divisions of labor. Sharing campus service data transparently, developing department consensus about appropriate levels of service contributions, and developing a sense of collective ownership for academic programs are examples of organizing practices that could generate change toward more gender neutral divisions of labor. Addressing the complex issue of inequality in campus service is not only about counting the numbers of service activities, although this is important. It is also critical to understand how faculty may be approaching the issue, the forces shaping their thinking, and the consequences of their thinking for individual careers and the future of the academic community.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {O'Meara, K (Corresponding Author), Univ Maryland, Higher Educ, College Pk, MD 20742 USA.

The author draws attention to the fact that the small scale industry promotion policy impacts significantly not only on decreasing the unemployment rate as well as long-term and youth unemployment but also on solving such acute social problems as poverty, famine, undernourishment and food insecurity, lack of quality education, gender inequality and the empowerment of women. The author pays attention to the evolution of small business in India in 1950-2010s. It argues convincingly that due to significant number of population as well as low-skilled labor on the one hand and limited financial resources on the other one small business has been considered to be a buffer between modern big business and the bulk of the population remaining outside it. The author considers the effectiveness of the industrial policy through the prism of stimulating small-scale industry and changing its place in the Indian economy. The author examines the activity of the The National Bank for Agricultural and Rural Development (NABARD) which is considered to be the most important institution which looks after the development of the small scale industries.The aim of NABARD was poverty reduction and development assistance (it's one of the premier agencies providing developmental credit in rural areas). The article presents the definition of small scale industry in India both in terms of employment level and the investment limits as well as statistical data on number of units, its share in industrial production and exports and expansion of small scale sector in 2000-20105. The author identified main problems facing cottage and small scale industries in India at the present time. The research is based on the systematic approach to the study of national economy using basic methods of scientific knowledge such as induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Russian}, Affiliation = {Galistcheva, NV (Corresponding Author), Moscow State Inst Int Relat Univ, Moscow, Russia.

We develop a three-location spatial applied general equilibrium model calibrated to the 2001 Tanzanian Social Accounting Matrix to examine the impact of various public investment programs on household welfare across this diverse geography in which production and consumption are locationally specific and transport costs support equilibrium price differences across locations. We examine how different public investment packages combined with reforms in the transport sector alter the equilibrium structure and location of economic activity. The choice of financing arrangement matters for welfare, since tax incidence, relative price, and real exchange rate movements are non neutral. We show that the distributional consequences of alternative investment programs may matter more in terms of household welfare than the direct consequences of targeting investment to particular sectors or locations. For instance, under some financing scenarios, interventions that aid agriculture may lead to decreases in the welfare of the rural unskilled labor force, because the financing mechanisms create distortions that effectively skew the terms of trade sufficiently powerfully against the rural unskilled as to outweigh the direct welfare-enhancing effects of the public investment. We also note that welfare gains are generated by the movement of rural workers out of quasi-subsistence agriculture into higher productivity jobs in other sectors and locations.

Exploring the association with the economic crisis and education}, Journal = {SSM-POPULATION HEALTH}, Year = {2021}, Volume = {16}, Month = {DEC}, Abstract = {The study of premature deaths from causes that are generally preventable given the current availability of healthcare - called amenable deaths due to healthcare - provides information on the quality of services. However, they are not only impacted by healthcare characteristics: other factors are also likely to influence. Therefore, identifying the association between amenable deaths due to healthcare and health determinants, such as education, might be the key to preventing these deaths in the future. Still unclear however, is how this works and how amenable deaths due to healthcare are distributed and evolve within the European Union (EU) below the national level. We therefore studied the geographical and temporal patterns of amenable deaths due to healthcare in the 259 EU regions from 1999 to 2016, including the 2007-2008 financial crisis and the post-2008 economic downturn, and identified whether any association with education exists. A cross-sectional ecological study was carried out. Using a hierarchical Bayesian model, we estimated the average smoothed Standardized Mortality Ratios (sSMR). A regression model was also applied to measure the relative risks (RR) at 95\% credible intervals for cause-specific mortality association with education. Results show that amenable deaths due to healthcare decreased globally. Nevertheless, the decrease is not the same across all regions, and inequalities within countries do persist, with lower mortality ratios seen in regions from Central European countries and higher mortality ratios in regions from Eastern European countries. Also, the evolution trend reveals that after the financial crisis, the number of these deaths increased in regions across almost all EU countries. Moreover, educational disparities in mortality emerged, and a statistical association was found between amenable deaths due to healthcare and early exit from education and training. These results confirm that identifying and understanding the background of regional differences may lead to a better understanding of the amenable deaths due to healthcare and allow for the application of more effective policies.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Costa, C (Corresponding Author), CEGOT Univ Coimbra, Colegio S Jeronimo, Largo D Dinis 3000, Coimbra, Portugal.

Evidence from Brazil}, Journal = {WORLD DEVELOPMENT}, Year = {2021}, Volume = {138}, Month = {FEB}, Abstract = {Even though there is growing social support for higher minimum wages as anti-poverty policy tools, very little is known about their effectiveness in reducing poverty or inequality in the developing world. Latin America's largest economy offers a fertile setting for shedding light on the issue, in being a large and data-rich country where frequent increases in the minimum wage can allow for direct estimation of influence on the distribution of income. Using a difference-in-difference estimator that takes advantage of substantial regional income variation and 21 increases in the Brazilian national wage floor, the study finds that within three months of these minimum wage hikes, poverty and inequality declined by 2.8\% and 2.4\%, respectively. Influence waned over time, particularly with respect to bottom-sensitive distribution measures, a development that is consistent with resulting job loses that fell more heavily among poorer households. The fact that the following annual hike in the minimum wage led to a renewed decline in poverty and inequality, suggests that potential unemployment costs were again overwhelmed by benefits in the form of higher wages among working individuals. However, evidence also establishes an inelastic relationship between wage floor hikes and changes in the incidence of poverty, as well as diminishing returns to the strategy when the legal minimum is high relative to median earnings.

However, coverage estimates for large peri-urban slums in Sindh are largely unknown and implementation challenges remain unexplored. This study explores key supply- and demand-side immunization barriers in peri-urban slums, as well as strategies to address them. It also assesses immunization coverage in the target slums. Methods Conducted in four peri-urban slums in Karachi, this mixed-methods study consists of a baseline cross-sectional coverage survey of a representative sample of 840 caregivers of children aged 12-23 months, and 155 in-depth interviews (IDIs) through purposive sampling of respondents (caregivers, community influencers and immunization staff). After identifying the barriers, a further six IDIs were then conducted with immunization policy-makers and policy influencers to determine strategies to address these barriers, resulting in the development of an original validated implementation framework for immunization in peri-urban slums. A thematic analysis approach was applied to qualitative data. Results The survey revealed 49\% of children were fully vaccinated, 43\% were partially vaccinated and 8\% were unvaccinated. Demand-side immunization barriers included household barriers, lack of knowledge and awareness, misconceptions and fears regarding vaccines and social and religious barriers. Supply-side barriers included underperformance of staff, inefficient utilization of funds, unreliable immunization and household data and interference of polio campaigns with immunization. The implementation framework's policy recommendations to address these barriers include: (1) improved human resource management; (2) staff training on counselling; (3) re-allocation of funds towards incentives, outreach, salaries and infrastructure; (4) a digital platform integrating birth registry and vaccination tracking systems for monitoring and reporting by frontline staff; (5) use of digital platform for immunization targets and generating dose reminders; and (6) mutual sharing of resources and data between the immunization, Lady Health Worker and polio programmes for improved coverage. Conclusions The implementation framework is underpinned by the study of uncharted immunization barriers in complex peri-urban slums, and can be used by implementers in Pakistan and other developing countries to improve immunization programmes in limited-resource settings, with possible application at a larger scale. In particular, a digital platform integrating vaccination tracking and birth registry data can be expanded for nationwide use.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Yazdani, AT (Corresponding Author), VITAL Pakistan Trust, Karachi, Pakistan.

Longitudinal evidence against the gender-equality paradox from 26 European countries}, Journal = {FRONTIERS IN SOCIOLOGY}, Year = {2023}, Volume = {8}, Month = {JUN 9}, Abstract = {Despite the increases in women's educational attainment in recent decades, female labor market participation and labor market returns are still lower than those of their male counterparts. Among the main factors explaining this persistence of economic inequality is the persistently gendered nature of occupational expectations, which results in gender segregation of labor. In this paper, we describe how gender-specific adolescents' occupational expectations change over time (2006-2018) and how women's empowerment and cultural norms might influence gender-specific occupational expectations. Against the backdrop of the research on the gender-equality paradox and from a comparative perspective, we focus on national and institutional characteristics to investigate how individual and national factors explain gendered occupational expectations. We answer our research questions by applying a two-step multilevel model with fixed effects. For this, we used PISA data and merged them with state-level information from 26 European countries. We add to existing research by making three contributions. First, we describe the changes in occupational expectations over time within European countries by looking at the gender composition of the desired occupation and distinguishing three categories (gender-typical, gender-balanced, and gender-atypical). Second, we investigate the relationship between national characteristics and the evolution of gendered occupational expectations separately by gender to reveal gender-specific mechanisms. Third, by using data from two-time points, we explore which national-level changes lead to changes in students' occupational expectations. Our first descriptive results show that the patterns of how students' occupational expectations change over time differ remarkably between countries. In 2018 in some countries, students' occupational expectations became more segregated while in others the number of students with gender-balanced or gender-atypical expectations increased. Our fixed effects models show that women's empowerment and self-expression value explained variance over time. For example, women's empowerment measured via an increase in women's employment and participation in parliament led to less gender-typical occupational expectations among girls and boys. Similarly, a rise in self-expression values led to less gender-typical occupational expectations, again for both boys and girls. Remarkably, our results do not verify the gender-equality paradox for occupational expectations, as is the case in previous cross-sectional analyses.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Erdmann, M (Corresponding Author), Berlin Social Sci Ctr, Presidents Res Grp, Berlin, Germany.

This article will explore how North Korea's economic crisis caused changes in women's economic participation. It will also analyze the impact of these new economic roles on the lives of women, and examine the broader implications of these roles for the status of women in North Korea. The North Korean economic crisis changed the pattern of women's economic participation, pulling women out of the formal labor market and driving them into the informal private economic sector. It also forced a number of women to leave their homeland in order to provide support for their own and their families' livelihoods. The new economic roles women have assumed in the wake of the food crisis have affected women's lives in many negative ways, resulting in an increase in their workloads, as well as an increase in the amount of sexual violence and stress of family breakdowns they experience. At the same time, however, these new roles have given women stronger voices in family decision-making matters and allowed them to develop, to some degree, a sense of self-consciousness and awareness of their own rights. Nevertheless, the fact that women have been engaged in new economic activities does not imply that they also have a high likelihood of advancing their socioeconomic status. To the contrary, women's defection from their homeland does not allow them to voice their opinions in matters related to the existing gender inequalities. Moreover, North Korean women are not considered capable of forming a critical mass, as they lack economic, social, political, and organizational resources to collectively voice their discontent. Furthermore, the neo-Confucian tradition of male superiority that is still firmly entrenched in the society is a major barrier that remains to be overcome.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Park, KA (Corresponding Author), Univ British Columbia, Inst Asian Res, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z2, Canada.

The interacting effect of employment, health and disability has not been reported in the research. Objective: This study examined the relationship of employment to health and quality of life among people with disabilities. Methods: Self-reported survey data and secondary claims data analyses of 810 Kansans ages 18-64 with disabilities who were dually-eligible for Medicare and Medicaid; 49\% were employed, with 94\% working less than 40 hours per week. Statistical analyses included ANOVA for differences between the employed and unemployed groups' health status, risk scores, and disease burdens; chi-square analyses for differences in prevalence of health risk behaviors and differences in quality of life by employment status; and logistic regression with health status measures to determine factors associated with higher than average physical and mental health status. Results: Findings indicated participants with any level of paid employment had significantly lower rates of smoking and better quality of life; self-reported health status was significantly higher, while per person per month Medicaid expenditures were less. Employment, even at low levels, was associated with better health and health behaviors as well as lower costs. Participants reported being discouraged from working by medical professionals and federal disability policies. Conclusions: Although cause-effect cannot be established from this study, findings strongly support changes to provider practices and federal disability policy to support employment at all levels for people with disabilities.

The disabilities associated with epilepsy are cognitive, psychological, and social, which are not as readily identified by medical doctors as are physical disabilities. A rehabilitation approach moves the emphasis from a medically driven process to a focus on the personal, social, and physical context of long-term illness. It is suggested that a missed opportunity for education and support for self-management occurs after diagnosis. This results in disadvantage to those whose educational level and knowledge of epilepsy are low. People who do not achieve epilepsy control may then experience higher levels of psychological distress, and a negative cycle of loss of self-efficacy, poor epilepsy control, social disadvantage, and disability. Rehabilitation services have benefited communities surrounding centers of excellence. Not so in epilepsy. Despite centers of excellence, areas with deprivation have higher than national average levels of patients reporting a seizure in the prior year, and higher emergency hospital admissions. Specialists working in partnership with general practitioners (GPs) and practice nurses can do more to increase participation and reduce distress for people with epilepsy. When available, GPs and nurses with special interest in epilepsy promote integrated services. Primary-secondary networks are likely to be more effective in preventing downward drift.

Certain groups, such as those with physical limitations and rural residents, have more travel barriers than other groups, reducing their access to services. The use of the Internet may be a way for these groups to seek care or information to support their health care needs. Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine Internet use among those whose are, for medical reasons, limited in their ability to travel. We also examined disparities in Internet use by race/ethnicity and rural residence, particularly among persons with medical conditions. Methods: We used data from the 2001 National Household Travel Survey (NHTS), a nationally representative sample of US households, to examine Internet use among individuals with medical conditions, rural residents, and minority populations. Internet use was defined as any use within the past 6 months; among users, frequency of use and location of use were explored. Control variables included sociodemographics, family life cycle, employment status, region, and job density in the community. All analyses were weighted to reflect the complex NHTS sampling frame. Results: Individuals with medical conditions were far less likely to report Internet use than those without medical conditions (32.6\% vs 70.3\%, P < .001). Similarly, rural residents were less likely to report Internet access and use than urban residents (59.7\% vs 69.4\%, P < .001). Nationally, 72.8\% of white respondents, versus 65.7\% of persons of ``other{''} race, 51.5\% of African Americans, and 38.0\% of Hispanics reported accessing the Internet (P < .001). In adjusted analyses, persons with medical conditions and minority populations were less likely to report Internet use. Rural-urban differences were no longer significant with demographic and ecological characteristics held constant. Conclusions: This analysis confirmed previous findings of a digital divide between urban and rural residents. Internet use and frequency was also lower among those reporting a medical condition than among those without a condition. After we controlled for many factors, however, African Americans and Hispanics were still less likely to use the Internet, and to use it less often, than whites. Policy makers should look for ways to improve the access to, and use of, the Internet among these populations.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Bennett, K (Corresponding Author), Univ S Carolina, Sch Med, Dept Family \& Prevent Med, 3209 Colonial Dr, Columbia, SC 29203 USA.

However, the specific structural factors associated with increased gun violence are poorly defined. We hypothesized that firearm homicide in metropolitan cities would be impacted by Black-White segregation index. METHODS: This cross-sectional analysis evaluated 51 US metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) using data from 2013 to 2017. Several measures of structural racism were examined, including the Brooking Institute's Black-White segregation index. Demographic data were derived from the US Census Bureau, US Department of Education, and US Department of Labor. Crime data and firearm homicide mortality rates were obtained from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Centers for Disease Control. Spearman. and linear regression were performed. RESULTS: Firearm mortality was associated with multiple measures of structural racism and racial disparity, including White-Black segregation index, unemployment rate, poverty rate, single parent household, percent Black population, and crime rates. In regression analysis, percentage Black population exhibited the strongest association with firearm homicide mortality (beta = 0.42, p < 0.001). Black-White segregation index (beta = 0.41, p = 0.001) and percent children living in single-parent households (beta = 0.41, p = 0.002) were also associated with higher firearm homicide mortality. Firearm legislation scores were associated with lower firearm homicide mortality (beta = -0.20 p = 0.02). High school and college graduation rates were not associated with firearm homicide mortality and were not included in the final model. CONCLUSION: Firearm homicide disproportionately impacts communities of color and is associated with measures of structural racism, such as White-Black segregation index. Public health interventions targeting gun violence must address these systemic inequities. Furthermore, given the association between firearm mortality and single-parent households, intervention programs for at-risk youth may be particularly effective.

The gap in the employment rate between Australians with and without disability is likely to widen, given the entrenched disadvantage of people with disability in the job market. For many, it will compound existing health and economic vulnerabilities. This scenario is troubling from both a human rights and an economic perspective. In this paper, we examine the interface of two policy instruments intended to improve the prospects of people with disability finding and keeping employment in Australia - Disability Employment Services and the National Disability Insurance Scheme - in the lead up to and in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings from three studies conducted between 2018 and 2020 reveal these instruments are not mutually reinforcing. With a 10-year National Disability Employment Strategy (NDES) in development under federal government oversight, we argue that more concerted and targeted effort from these services and broader public policies and programs is needed to ensure Australians with disability are not sidelined in the labour market in the wake of the pandemic.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Olney, S (Corresponding Author), Univ Melbourne, Melbourne Sch Populat \& Global Hlth, 207 Bouverie St, Carlton, Vic 3053, Australia.

Different identification strategies produce similar results: 1 year of additional age confers an advantage of roughly 03 standard deviations. By contrasting Tlaxcala with a neighboring state that did not change the cutoff concurrently, we decompose the effect of relative age into a positive effect of age at test, and a negative effect of the position in the distribution of age. Older classmates have a positive spillover, whereas younger classmates have a negative spillover. If tested at the exact same age, younger students would outperform their older classmates. We complement the analysis with estimates of relative-age effects in six labor and marriage market outcomes in a sample of Mexican adults. Significant effects are found in the six outcomes. Lastly, we lay out a theoretical model to explain differences in relative-age effects in wages across countries, highlighting the role played by selectivity of the mechanisms used to allocate educational opportunities and the wage premium to those educational opportunities in the labor market.

Based on the data from the longitudinal study `Trajectories in Education and Careers', it is shown that graduates of highly selective universities, higher education institutions which partic-ipate in the excellence initiatives, or those awarded a special status (for example, participants of the `5-100 ` project and National Research Universities) receive a higher wage premium for education compared to other graduates. This conclusion is consistent with the human capital theory and signaling theory. Differences in wages depending on the field of study were also found. Graduate salaries have a gender gap and are also positively associated with family income and school background. Thus, inequality in the labor market has roots both in the variation of the quality of higher education, and before university entry - in family and high school.

Disproportionate exposure to ACEs and lack of appropriate responses stemming from systemic racism contributes to racial inequities. Culturally responsive practices and policies focused on early childhood are critical to prevent toxic stress and subsequent health inequities. This paper describes a collaboration among researchers, practitioners, and parents of color with lived experiences of ACEs entitled: Two Generations Thrive, which aims to prevent the intergenerational transmission of ACEs through improving practices and policies within the health care, education, and child welfare systems. Method: Community-based Participatory Research (CBPR) and cultural humility provided a framework and key principles for our collaboration, with an emphasis on critical reflection, mitigating power imbalances, and institutional accountability. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to evaluate outcomes. We describe our process of building an infrastructure for bidirectional collaboration and key lessons learned to offer a roadmap for researchers, clinicians, and advocates who seek to partner in preventing ACEs and subsequent health inequities. Results: Key lessons learned include: the importance of building and maintaining trust, consistently working to mitigate power imbalances, and the power of bidirectional collaboration to maximize the benefit of research and action for communities traditionally marginalized in research and practice. Conclusions: Cultural humility and CBPR provide a strong foundation to promote bidirectional collaboration among researchers, practitioners, and parents with lived experience of ACEs. Clinical Impact Statement Repeated exposure to adversity can cause toxic stress, which is damaging to physical and mental health. Disproportionate exposure to ACEs and lack of appropriate responses stemming from systemic racism contribute to racial inequities associated with toxic stress including disproportionate intergenerational transmission of ACEs among families of color.

A novel Fuzzy Double-Frontier Network DEA (FDFNDEA) model is proposed to investigate the relationship between desirable (freight and passenger turnovers) and undesirable (pollutant emission levels due to aircraft movements) outputs against the respective infrastructure usage, fuel consumed, and movements performed at each of the 23 Eurasian airports from 2000 to 2018. This balance between desirable and undesirable outputs emerges spatially and temporally due to the evolution of the airport system?s productive resources at each one of the Eurasian countries over the period observed. Shannon?s entropy is used as the cornerstone to quantify the input and output vagueness of this evolution in Triangular Fuzzy Numbers (TFN), thus allowing the accurate building of alternative optimistic and pessimistic double-frontier efficiency. Differently from previous research, Shannon?s entropy is the key for measuring input and output vagueness levels in light of the maximal entropy principle. This principle states that the distribution that best represents the current state of knowledge is the one with largest entropy. Maximal entropy yields bias-free decision-making in the sense that the input/output distributional profiles for Eurasian airports contain the maximal possible heterogeneity, working as a robust or best/worst-case scenario against eventual unconsidered assumptions. Hence, optimistic and pessimistic Malmquist Productivity Indexes (MPI) for overall and each stage productivity results are subsequently regressed against contextual variables related to airport characteristics and regional socio-demographic and economic indicators of each Eurasian country using bootstrapped Cauchy regressions. The findings revealed the spatial heterogeneity of productivity factors and airport performance across Eurasia. Results also demonstrated the negative impact of income inequality and the positive impact of private participation on technological progression in the Eurasian airport industry.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Güner, S (Corresponding Author), Sakarya Univ, Sakarya Business Sch, Esentepe Campus, TR-54187 Sakarya, Turkey.

Households with disabled members may be vulnerable to poverty due to the extra cost of living with a disability.

Using data from a nationally representative household survey, this paper estimates the extra cost of disabilities in Ghana. The paper further examines the welfare effects of households with persons with disabilities. Based on the standard of living approach, we estimate the extra cost to households with a person with disability to be 26\% of annual household consumption expenditures. Adjusting for the extra cost of poverty, the incidence of poverty increases from 38.5 to 52.9\% amongst households with a disabled member. Our findings suggest the need to improve the efficiency of support programs to persons with disabilities to mitigate the extra costs of disabilities and reduce their vulnerability to poverty.

It focuses upon a period when a dynamic working-class movement sought to overcome barriers imposed by a hierarchical job structure and reinforced by ethnic and racial divisions. The movement drew its strength from several sources. The support of the Chicago Federation of Labor threw the resources of a powerful local movement behind the campaign and encouraged the emergence of new, inclusive, forms of organization. The existence of shop-floor organizations further augmented the movement's power. Finally, the intervention of the government, in the form of binding arbitration, led to dramatic improvements in wages and conditions which helped the movement consolidate its position. Although these gains were undone and the movement destroyed, the union campaign transformed racial and class experiences in the stockyards.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {HALPERN, R (Corresponding Author), UCL, DEPT HIST, GOWER ST, LONDON WC1E 6BT, ENGLAND.}, DOI = {10.1017/S0020859000110922}, Research-Areas = {History}, Web-of-Science-Categories = {History}, Times-Cited = {10}, Usage-Count-Last-180-days = {0}, Usage-Count-Since-2013 = {3}, Unique-ID = {WOS:A1992JD29200002}, DA = {2023-11-02}, } @article{ WOS:000941572400001, Author = {Jordan, Gerald and Mutschler, Christina and Kidd, Sean A.

One response to this criticism has been work helping people with mental health problems recover a sense of citizenship and sense of belonging in their communities. Work on citizenship has yet to influence youth mental healthcare in Canada's provinces and territories. This paper aims to highlight ways that youth mental healthcare can better help youth recover a sense of citizenship.Design/methodology/approach - The arguments described in this paper were established through discussion and consensus among authors based on clinical experience in youth mental health and an understanding of Canada's healthcare policy landscape, including current best practices as well as guidelines for recovery-oriented care by the Mental Health Commission of Canada.Findings - Here, this study proposes several recommendations that can help young with mental health problems recover their sense of citizenship at the social, systems and service levels. These include addressing the social determinants of health; developing a citizenship-based system of care; addressing identity-related disparities; employing youth community health workers within services; adapting and delivering citizenship-based interventions; and connecting youth in care to civic-oriented organizations.Originality/value - This paper provides the first discussion of how the concept of citizenship can be applied to youth mental health in Canada in multiple ways. The authors hope that this work provides momentum for adopting policies and practices that can help youth in Canada recover a sense of citizenship following a mental health crisis.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Jordan, G (Corresponding Author), Univ Birmingham, Coll Life \& Environm Sci, Ctr Urban Wellbeing, Sch Psychol, Birmingham, England.

While a growing body of literature has paid attention to understanding this issue within the wider international context, there remains a dearth of research on work histories in China. This research which is crucial for the understanding of inequalities in later life. This paper provides a unique evidence on the work experiences over the life course of 7281 Chinese individuals aged 60 and over (born between 1930-1954), using retrospective life history data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. With the application of sequence analysis and cluster analysis, results reveal a picture of significant social heterogeneity within work trajectories between urban and rural areas and between men and women. Such differences are largely shaped by the wider economic and institutional context, as well as by key personal characteristics such as educational attainment. More importantly, cohort comparisons highlight how different groups of current Chinese older alduts have been affected by changes in the labour market and the public pension system over the past sixty years. Whilst it is to be expected that younger cohorts amongst today's older population will have experienced some destandardisation of work trajectories following the opening up of the economy since the 1980s, the heterogeneity in work trajectories across different social groups within and between cohorts is notable. These findings emphasise the importance of ensuring policy design that delivers equitable pension entitlements and supports flexible working patterns in order to reduce inequalities in the labour market between rural and urban residents and between men and women.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Xu, MD (Corresponding Author), Southwestern Univ Finance \& Econ, 55 Guanghuacun St, Chengdu, Peoples R China.

In sub-Saharan Africa Including Kenya, this decline started more recent and at a slower pace compared to other regions. Despite a significant fertility decline in Kenya, there are disparities in intra- and interregional fertility. Reduction in lifetime fertility has health benefits for both the mother and child, thus it is important to improve women and children health outcomes associated with high fertility. The study, therefore evaluated the factors associate with change in lifetime fertility among married women of reproductive age in Kenya between 2003 and 2014.MethodsThe study used the Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (KDHS) datasets of 2003, 2008 and 2014. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to calculate the mean number of children ever born and to assess the change in fertility across different factors. Poisson regression model with robust standard errors was used to study the relationship between number of children ever born (lifetime fertility) and independent variables. A Poisson-based multivariate decomposition for the nonlinear response model was performed to identify and quantify the contribution of demographic, socioeconomic and reproductive correlates, to the change in lifetime fertility between 2003 and 2014.ResultsThe study included 3,917, 4,002, and 7,332 weighted samples of women of reproductive age in 2003, 2008, and 2014, respectively. The mean number of children born declined from 3.8 (95\% CI: 3.6-3.9) in 2003 to 3.5 (95\% CI: 3.4--3.7) in 2008 and 3.4 (95\% CI: 3.3-3.4) in 2014 (p = 0.001). The expected number of children reduced with the age at first sexual intercourse, the age at first marriage across the survey years, and household wealth index. Women who had lost one or more children in the past were likely to have increased number of children. The changes in the effects of women's characteristics between the surveys explained 96.4\% of the decline. The main contributors to the change in lifetime fertility was the different in women level of education.ConclusionThe lifetime fertility declined by one-tenth between 2003 and 2014; majorly as a result of the effects of characteristics of women in terms of level of education. These highlights a need to implement education policies that promotes women education focuses on gender equality and women empowerment. Continuous strengthening of the healthcare systems (access to quality antenatal care, skilled delivery, and postpartum care) to reduce child mortality is essential.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Orwa, J (Corresponding Author), Univ Ghent, Fac Med \& Hlth Sci, Dept Publ Hlth \& Primary Care, Ghent, Belgium.

People are very poor in the area, also beyond the areas close to the park. The average income is around 0.45 USD per person per day. People report food shortages in two out of the last five years. Even ``the least poor group{''} earns no more than an average of 2 USD/cap and day. Main incomes (80\%) are derived from agriculture and non-farm incomes. There is a differential diversification pattern where poor people depend more on selling their labour within agriculture, while the less poor group depends more on non-farm activities. Environmental (forest and natural resources) incomes are low, compared to what is typically found in such rural areas, making up 6.3\% of total incomes. Living close to the park incurs costs in the range of 2 to 20\% of total household incomes, mainly through wildlife raiding crops and livestock; the scale depending on village location. The study documents that attempts to reduce tensions between local people and the park through outreach activities yield negligible results compared to the costs people incur, and do little to reduce the conflict-ridden park-people relations. Although the park may not necessarily be a ``poverty trap{''}, it must be seen as yet another and substantial constraint for people securing their livelihoods. Increasing land scarcity, population densities, income inequalities all imply mounting pressures that aggravate resource use conflicts. Furthermore, the present situation with external political interference in selection and implementation of outreach activities is not conducive to progress. Given that 24\% of Tanzania consists of wildlife protected areas, much more focused, rights-based and location specific approaches should be developed to reduce losses, and to secure local people's rights to income from the parks and due compensation for accrued costs. People should have formal rights to access park resources that can be subjected to controlled, sustainable harvesting. The present park management culture in terms of attitudes, values and norms needs to change through training in how to work with local people. Such interventions would help reduce conflict levels.

This study analyses mental health inequalities between unemployed and employed in three age groups (youth, adulthood and mid-life), and identifies the extent to which social determinants explain the mental health gap between employed and unemployed in northern Sweden. Methods: The Health on Equal Terms survey of 2014 was used, with self-reported employment (unemployed or employed) as exposure and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) as mental health outcome. The social determinants of health inequalities were grouped into four dimensions: socioeconomic status, economic resources, social network and trust in institutional systems. The non-linear Oaxaca decomposition analysis was applied, stratified by gender and age groups. Results: Mental health inequality was found in all age groups among women and men (difference in GHQ varying between 0.12 and 0.20). The decomposition analysis showed that the social determinants included in the model accounted for 43-51\% of the inequalities among youths, 42-98\% of the inequalities among adults and 60-65\% among middle-aged. The main contributing factors were shown to vary between age groups: cash margin (among youths and middle-aged men), financial strain (among adults and middle-aged women), income (among men in adulthood), along with trust in others (all age groups), practical support (young women) and social support (middle-aged men); stressing how the social determinants of health inequalities vary across the life course. Conclusions: The health gap between employed and unemployed was explained by the difference in access to economic and social resources, and to a smaller extent in the trust in the institutional systems. Findings from this study corroborate that much of the mental health inequality in the Swedish labour market is socially and politically produced and potentially avoidable. Greater attention from researchers, policy makers on unemployment and public health should be devoted to the social and economic deprivation of unemployment from a life course perspective to prevent mental health inequality.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Brydsten, A (Corresponding Author), Stockholm Univ, Dept Publ Hlth Sci, SE-10691 Stockholm, Sweden.

Research Design \& Methods: For macro level analysis, we use graph and mapping method. Features of gender discrimination and its links with compensation and benefits are revealed in sociological review. Findings: Ensuring gender equality is a difficult task for even the most developed countries of the world, as none of them has achieved full equality of sex, including in respect of labour rights. As our study shows, significant progress has been made in this area in Ukraine, as in general, gender gap and the economic equality of women keep within the EU-specific range of values. Gender discrimination is accompanied by age: 57.1\% out of the 71.4\% of discriminated women are aged under 35; the higher the age and gender discrimination, the smaller the wage gap. In enterprises with gender discrimination, the potential level of turnover is 71\%, which is significantly higher comparing to enterprises with equal rights. Implications \& Recommendations: The obtained results should be used by trade unions and public policy makers in socio-labour agreements to reduce inequality in compensation and benefits practices.

However, no studies have examined longitudinal predictors of MH and SUD treatment use among rural persons using stimulants. Methods: Data were collected through interviews conducted between 2002 and 2008 from a natural history study of 710 adults using stimulants and living in rural counties of Arkansas, Kentucky, and Ohio. Each study site recruited participants using respondent-driven sampling (RDS). Participants were adults, not in drug treatment, and reporting past-30-day use of methamphetamine, crack cocaine, or powder cocaine. Study participants completed face-to-face baseline assessments and follow-up interviews using computer-assisted personal interviews. Follow-up interviews were conducted at 6-month intervals for 3 years. Results: Our results show that being male, nonwhite, and having a prior lifetime history of MH or SUD treatment use were associated with lower odds of using MH and SUD treatment over time; having medical insurance and living in a state with potentially greater availability of MH and SUD treatment were associated with higher odds of using MH and SUD treatment over the 3-year period. Further, reporting greater legal problems and alcohol severity were associated with greater odds of using MH and SUD care, whereas greater employment problems was associated with higher odds of SUD but not MH treatment use. Conclusions: Findings from this study could be used to inform clinical and public health strategies for improving linkage to MH and SUD care in this population. Our findings also highlight the importance of having medical insurance as a potential facilitator to utilizing SUD care in this population and support the need for health care policies that increase the ability of rural adults who use stimulants to pay for such services.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Cucciare, MA (Corresponding Author), Univ Arkansas Med Sci, Coll Med, Div Hlth Serv Res, Dept Psychiat,Psychiat Res Inst, 4301 West Markham St, Little Rock, AR 72205 USA.

This study aimed to: (a) examine the association between caring intensity and not being employed for primary mental health carers, (b) ascertain whether this relationship differs from that for other disability carers, (c) enumerate Australian primary mental health carers with a possible need for employment support and (d) describe these carers' unmet support needs and barriers to employment. Co-resident, working age primary mental health (n = 137) and other disability carers (n = 821) were identified in the Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers (collected July-December 2015). Multiple logistic regression analyses examined associations between levels of caring intensity (1-9, 10-19, 20-39, 40+ hr/week) and not being employed. A `possible need for employment support' indicator was derived from information about current employment status, caring hours, past impact of caring on employment and desire for more work or workplace accommodations. After controlling for demographic and caring role factors, mental health carers providing 40+ hr of care weekly had greater odds of not being employed compared to carers providing <10 hr (AOR 13.38, 95\% CI: 2.17-82.39). For other disability carers, the odds of not being employed were also higher among those providing 20-39 hr of care (AOR 3.21, 95\% CI: 2.18-4.73). An estimated 54.1\% (95\% CI: 43.1-64.8) of carers had a possible need for employment support, with the proportion increasing as level of caring intensity increased. Of carers who were not employed, 42.2\% (95\% CI: 30.3-55.0) reported a desire to work, and the main reported barrier was no alternative care arrangements or disruption to the person supported.

The key insight is that aggregate demand is an externality for individual firms: this generates a strategic complementarity in production and results in equilibrium underutilization of the economy's productive capacity, as well as hysteresis in real output. Underutilization also affects the functional distribution of income and the dis-tribution of wealth: both the wage share and the workers' wealth share would be higher at full capacity. Consequently, fiscal allocation policy that achieves full utilization also attains a higher labor share and a more equitable distribution of wealth; while demand shocks have permanent level effects. Extensions look at hysteresis in the employment rate and growth. These findings are useful as an organizing frame-work for thinking through the lackluster economic record of the so-called Neoliberal era, the sluggish recovery of most advanced economies following the Great Recession, and the importance of fiscal policy in countering large shocks such as the Covid-19 pandemic.(c) 2022 Elsevier B.V.

Ten years ago, BTG was created to assess the impact of policies, programs, and other environmental influences on adolescent alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drug use and related outcomes. This multidisciplinary, multisite initiative examines these factors at multiple levels of social organization, including schools, communities, and states. More recently, the significant increases in obesity among children, adolescents, and adults led BTG to expand its efforts to include research on the role of policies, programs, and other factors on adolescent obesity and the physical inactivity and dietary habits that contribute to this growing problem. Eleven papers resulting from BTG's obesity-related research are contained in this supplement, along with two papers describing the National Cancer Institute-supported efforts to track relevant state policies. Methods: Bridging the Gap involves a variety of data-collection efforts built largely around the Monitoring the Future (MTF) surveys of 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-grade students. These include: surveys of administrators in the MTF schools that gather extensive information on the school food environment, physical education in schools, and other relevant information; collection of contextual information from the communities in which the MTF schools are located; tracking of relevant state policies; and gathering of a wide variety of data from archival and commercial databases. These databases are analyzed individually and in various combinations. Discussion: Bridging the Gap's extensive research has shown the importance of a range of school, community, state, and other influences in affecting adolescent substance use and related outcomes. BTG's early research on adolescent diet, physical activity, and obesity much of which is contained in this supplement-similarly demonstrates the role of environmental factors in influencing these outcomes and in explaining observed racial/ethnic and socioeconomic-related disparities in them. Conclusions: The growing recognition of the public health and economic consequences of childhood, adolescent, and adult obesity has led to a variety of policies, programs, and other interventions to stimulate healthy eating and physical activity, often despite the lack of evidence on their impact. BTG and others are working to build the evidence base for effective interventions to address this significant problem, but much remains to be learned.}, Type = {Editorial Material}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Chaloupka, FJ (Corresponding Author), Univ Illinois, Inst Hlth Res \& Policy, 1747 W Roosevelt,Room 558, Chicago, IL 60608 USA.

An understanding of the challenges faced by pregnant physicians and physician parents is needed to design policies and interventions to reduce these disparities. Objective Our objective was to characterize work-related barriers related to pregnancy and parenthood described by physicians. Design We performed framework analysis of qualitative data collected through individual, semi-structured interviews between May and October 2018. Data related to pregnancy or parenthood were organized chronologically to understand barriers throughout the process of pregnancy, planning a parental leave, taking a parental leave, returning from parental leave, and parenting as a physician. Participants Physician faculty members of all genders, including parents and non-parents, from a single department at a large academic medical school in Canada were invited to participate in a department-wide study broadly exploring gender equity. Approach Thematic analysis guided by constructivism. Key Results Twenty-eight physicians were interviewed (7.2\% of eligible physicians), including 22 women and 6 men, of which 18 were parents (15 mothers and 3 fathers). Common barriers included a lack of systems-level guidelines for pregnancy and parental leave, inconsistent workplace accommodations for pregnant physicians, a lack of guidance and support for planning parental leaves, and difficulties obtaining clinical coverage for parental leave. Without systems-level guidance, participants had to individually navigate challenges and resolve these difficulties, including negotiating with their leadership for benefits. This led to stress, wasted time and effort, and raised questions about fairness within the department. Conclusions Physician parents face unique challenges navigating institutional policies as well as planning and taking parental leave. Systems-level interventions such as policies for pregnancy, parental leave, and return to work are needed to address barriers experienced by physician parents.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Ruzycki, SM (Corresponding Author), Univ Calgary, Dept Med, Calgary, AB, Canada.

Tanzania, a patriarchal society where high levels of partner violence exists, has gone through rapid economic and social changes over the past two decades. Increasing numbers of women are seeking paid work, and men's ideals of manhood have reshaped with evidence of extra marital relations and alcohol use. Nationally representative population-based data documents 46.2\% of ever-married women have experienced physical or sexual partner violence in their lifetime; 29.6\% in the past year. In order to plan appropriate interventions to end violence against women, factors consistently associated with abuse need to be understood.MethodsThis study uses couples data from the 2015 Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey to examine correlates of past year partner violence against women. Multivariate regression analysis was used to explore individual and relational-level variablesincluding socio-demographic characteristics and history of abuse among women, partner behavioural characteristics, and indicators of gender and economic inequalityamong 1278 married and cohabiting couples.ResultsAt the individual level, women's experiences of non-partner violence (sexual abuse by a non-partner and witnessing violence in childhood) was strongly associated with risk and highlights that all forms of violence against women serve to keep them subordinated. Partner behavioural characteristics (polygamy and problematic alcohol use) were also associated with risk. Household socio-economic status, however, was not significantly associated with women's risk in the final multivariate model. At the relational-level, men's age difference of 10 or more years; and any employment (compared to none/unpaid) were associated with lower risk. When considering attitudes tolerant towards wife abuse, the strongest association with risk of violence was when both partners held tolerant views.ConclusionThe findings support the assertions of violence being associated with women's prior/additional experiences of abuse and with men's harmful expressions of masculinity. In addition to interventions that focus on transforming gender norms and attitudes (at the individual and community levels), addressing economic, legal and political structural barriers are also required.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Vyas, S (Corresponding Author), Kilimanjaro Christian Med Univ Coll, Dept Epidemiol \& Biostat, Moshi POB 2240, Moshi, Tanzania.

Hearing from workers about their experiences in the COVID-19 pandemic may inform future workforce and public policy. OBJECTIVE To gather baseline data onworker experience with the perceived effects of COVID-19 on health andwork in the pandemic prior to initiating an intervention to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and to measure differences in worker experience by gender, race, ethnicity, education, and resident population served (persons with SMI and/or IDD/DD). DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This mixed-mode, cross-sectional survey study was conducted using online then paper-based self-administration from May to September 2021 at the end of the first year of the pandemic. Staff working in 415 group homes that provided care within 6 Massachusetts organizations serving adults aged 18 years or older with SMI and/or ID/DD were surveyed. The eligible survey population included a census of staff who were currently employed in participating group homes during the study period. A total of 1468 staff completed or partially completed surveys. The overall survey response rate was 44\%(range by organization, 20\% to 52\%). MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Self-reported experiential outcomes were measured in work, health, and vaccine completion. Bivariate and multivariate analyses explore experiences by gender, race, ethnicity, education, trust in experts and employers, and population served. RESULTS The study population included 1468 group home staff (864 {[}58.9\%] women; 818 {[}55.7\%] non-Hispanic Black; 98 {[}6.7\%] Hispanic or Latino). A total of 331 (22.5\%) group home staff members reported very serious perceived effects on health; 438 (29.8\%) reported very serious perceived effects on mental health; 471 (32.1\%) reported very serious perceived effects on health of family and friends; and 414 reported very serious perceived effects (28.2\%) on access to health services, with statistically significant differences observed by race and ethnicity. Vaccine acceptance was higher among persons with higher educational attainment and trust in scientific expertise and lower among persons who self-reported as Black or Hispanic/Latino. A total of 392 (26.7\%) respondents reported needing support for health needs, and 290 (19.8\%) respondents reported needing support for loneliness or isolation. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this survey study, approximately one-third of group home workers reported serious personal health and access to health care barriers during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in Massachusetts. Addressing unmet health needs and access to health and mental health services, including inequities and disparities by race, ethnicity, and education, should benefit staff health and safety, as well as that of the individuals with disabilities who rely on them for support and care.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Donelan, K (Corresponding Author), Massachusetts Gen Hosp, Mongan Inst, 100 Cambridge St,Ste 1600, Boston, MA 02114 USA.

One hypothesis is that due to the existing structural racism that encompasses residential segregation, low quality of education, low paying jobs, discrimination in the labor market, and extra costs of upward social mobility for minorities, Black families face more challenges for leveraging their education to escape poverty. Aims: Using a nationally representative sample of American families with children, this study investigated racial variation in the effects of highest education of parents on family's ability to scale poverty, defined as the household's income-to-needs ratio. Methods: This cross-sectional study used data from the National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) 2003-2004a nationally representative telephone survey that included 86,537 parents of children 0-17 years old. The sample was composed of White (n = 76,403, 88.29\%) and Black (n = 10,134, 11.71\%) families. The independent variable was highest education of the parents. The dependent variable was household poverty status (income-to-needs ratio). Race was the focal moderator. Linear regression was used in the pooled sample, as well as by race. Results: In the pooled sample, higher education of parents in the household was associated with lower risk of poverty. Race, however, interacted with parental education attainment on household-income-to-needs ratio, indicating smaller effects for Black compared to White families. Lower number of parents and higher number of children in Black families did not explain such racial disparities. Conclusions: The economic gain of parental education on helping family escape poverty is smaller for Black than White families, and this is not as a result of a lower parent-to-child ratio in Black households. Policies should specifically address structural barriers in the lives of all minorities to minimize the diminished return of SES resources across racial minority groups. Policies should also enhance quality of education and reduce the extra cost of upward social mobility for racial minorities. As the likely causes are multilevel, the solutions should also be multilevel. Without such interventions, it may be very difficult if not impossible to eliminate the existing economic and health gap between racial groups.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Assari, S (Corresponding Author), Univ Michigan, Dept Psychiat, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 USA.

There is a need to understand more about this young group of persons since they often have problems with mobility and gait, but they may also face participation restrictions due to issues associated with integration into a new community and culture. Method A total of 14 young immigrants with late effects of polio participated and were interviewed individually. The study used a qualitative method to explore personal experiences and the interviews were analyzed through an inductive approach, using qualitative content analysis. Results The analysis led to a major theme; self-image and acceptance, that comprised a changeable process and experiences of cultural, social, and gender-specific barriers, but also of environmental and personal factors that impacted their outdoor mobility. By using a car, the participants felt they could come across as normal which also increased their self-esteem. Conclusions Independent mobility is a major enabler for ongoing employment and being able to use a car increases the chances for integration into society for young immigrants with late effects of polio. Public transport is not considered to be adequate or efficient enough due to the participants' mobility impairments, but driving can prevent involuntary isolation and facilitate participation.

Moreover, we find that utilization may depend upon TANF requirements and incentives, information resources, and barriers to work and filing of income tax returns.

Longitudinal studies of ethnicity, length of residence, and adiposity in contexts outside of the United States are lacking. Methods: Nine waves (2006-2014) of the Household Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia survey were analyzed (n = 20,934; 52\% women; 101,717 person-year observations) using random effects modeling to assess average annual change in body mass index (BMI) by ethnic group. A second analysis used an immigrant only cohort (n = 4583; 52\% women; 22,301 person-year observations) to examine BMI change by length of residence. Results: Over 9 years, mean BMI increased significantly in all ethnic and Australian-born groups, and by the final wave, mean BMI exceeded 25 kg m(-2) for all groups. Trajectories of change did not vary between groups, with the exception of slower BMI increases for North-West European men compared with Australian born. Immigrants residing in Australia for 10-19 years had significantly faster annual increases in BMI compared with long-term immigrants (>= 30 years). Conclusions: Immigrants to Australia, regardless of ethnicity, are at risk of obesity over time. Obesity prevention policy should prioritize immigrants in the early-mid settlement period.

However, the diversification into the RNFS, especially for the small and the marginal farmers, may be restricted due to the presence of various entry barriers like, lack of education in general and technical education in particular, credit constraint and a lower endowment of social capital. In this context, the study develops a simple theoretical model to incorporate the labour allocation decisions of the rural farm households, focussing on the potential entry barriers in the RNFS. The theoretically determined entry barriers along with other covariates are then used to empirically estimate the intensity of RNFS participation. We employ household level panel data on Indian states belonging to Semi-arid tropics (SAT) and Eastern regions, for the years 2010-14. A fractional response model is used to empirically analyse the determinants underlying RNFS diversification. The empirical results of the study confirm the presence of entry barriers in the form of lack of education and technical education, and access to credit and social capital. Other variables that are found to have a significant impact on diversification are land asset, family size, gender of the household head, age of the household head and farm income. Since, access to education, skill, credit and social capital are vital factors determining RNFS diversification, specific policies are required to be implemented for increasing access to these assets so as to increase RNFS employment in India.

This study aimed to describe the perceived barriers to and effective strategies for the implementation of evidence-based fall prevention practices within and across diverse community organizations. This study is unique in that it included community service providers who are not generally thought to provide fall prevention services to older adults, such as retail business, community support, volunteer services, community foundations, recreation centres, and various emergency services. Methods: Interviews and focus groups were conducted with a purposive sampling of providers (n = 84) in varied roles within diverse community-based organizations across disparate geographical settings. Results: Community service providers experience significant multi-level barriers to fall prevention within and across organizations and settings. The overall challenge of serving dispersed populations in adverse environmental conditions was heightened in northern rural areas. Barriers across the system, within organizations and among providers themselves emerged along themes of Limited Coordination of Communication, Restrictive Organizational Mandates and Policies, Insufficient Resources, and Beliefs about Aging and Falls. Participants perceived that Educating Providers, Working Together, and Changing Policies and Legislation were strategies that have worked or would work well in implementing fall prevention. An unintentional observation was made that several participants in this extremely varied sample identified expanded roles in fall prevention for themselves during the interview process. Conclusions: Community service providers experience disabling contexts for implementing fall prevention on many levels: their specific geography, their service systems, their organizations and themselves. A systemic lack of fit between the older adult and fall prevention services limits access, making fall prevention inaccessible, unaccommodating, unavailable, unaffordable, and unacceptable. Educating Providers, Working Together, and Changing Policies and Legislation offers promise to create more enabling contexts for community stakeholders, including those who do not initially see their work as preventing falls.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Dykeman, CS (Corresponding Author), Halton Region Hlth Dept, 1151 Bronte Rd, Oakville, ON L6M 3L1, Canada.

Research and policy initiatives over the past fifteen years have consistently emphasised the benefits of vocational education and training generally, and apprenticeship and traineeships specifically, as leading to positive vocational pathways and employment outcomes for people with disabilities.

This paper presents the employment outcomes including hours of work and salaries for a cohort of apprenticeship and traineeship graduates with and without disabilities across a three-year longitudinal Australian study. Overall, there are positive employment outcomes for the research participants although graduates without a disability achieved better outcomes than graduates with disabilities and participants in receipt of the disability support pension had significantly lower wages than other participants with disabilities. There are indications that the gap in outcomes between graduates with and without disabilities has reduced over time, although generalisability of the findings may be limited by the observational study design.

Despite differences in countries' economic, social and cultural contexts, gender norms-unwritten rules of acceptable actions for men and women-have been found to affect women's labor participation across contexts. Gender norms include those regulating who takes care of children, who is expected to earn more, and in which sectors men and women should work. Importantly, norms affect access to labor markets at times of scarcity: when there's only work for one, gender norms can dictate whether a woman or man gets the job. Advocates of equal labor force participation point to evidence that employment can contribute to people's health and well-being; yet the evidence is mixed and contradictory, and mostly comes from high-income countries. In restrictive normative contexts in which women are assigned the role of family caretaker, full time employment (FTE) might be particularly burdensome. At the same time, the literature lacks a cross-country analysis of how gender norms affect women's FTE and their health when employed full time, despite qualitative research providing clear evidence of the influence of gender norms on labor participation. AimsIn this paper we examine: (1) how gender norms affect women's access to FTE across 97 countries; (2) associations between FTE and women's self-reported health self-rated (SRH) across different normative contexts (i.e., countries where it is common vs. uncommon for women to stay home); and (3) how women's FTE and gender norms changed over time in four countries. DataWe used time-series data from the World Values Survey and European Values Survey conducted in over 100 countries between 1981 and 2014. Both surveys attempt to capture norms, beliefs and values in addition to sociodemographic information among a nationally representative adult population in each country. The sample for the cross-sectional analyses (aims 1 and 2) included 97 countries and 131,132 respondents. The sample for aim 3 included data from Argentina, Egypt, Finland and Japan. VariablesOur outcome of interest was pro-equality norms in the context of access to the labor market for women. Respondents were asked ``if jobs are scarce, men should have more right to a job than women do?{''}. Response options included no, neither or yes. We created a binary variable to represent pro-equality norms. We included employment status and SRH as exposures of interest. AnalysisWe used individual-level data to generate on-average and sex-stratified estimates of the outcome and exposures for each country, at each time point. We estimated the percentage of all respondents, of women, and of men who held pro-equality norms (believe that men should not have more right to a job than women), the percentage who were employed full time, and the average level of SRH. To measure gender inequality in FTE, we also estimated the absolute difference in FTE between women and men for each country at each time point. First, we conducted descriptive, cross-sectional ecological analyses using one survey per country from wave 5 or 6 (whichever was most recent) to examine associations between pro-equality norms and employment status as a proxy for associations between norms and the context of employment in each country. We also examined associations between pro-equality norms and SRH. We then specified adjusted logistic regression models with controls for age, sex and education to examine associations between pro-equality norms and employment status. To examine if the relationship between FTE and SRH varied by normative context, we grouped countries in quartiles of pro-equality norms. Finally, we conducted descriptive ecological analyses of the relationship between pro-equality norms and employment status over time in four countries. ResultsObjective 1: Gender norms intersect with socio-cultural contexts in determining women's FTE. While in some countries gender norms aligned positively with women's access to employment (i.e., more equal norms matched more equality in FTE), in Eastern Europe and South America we observed a mismatch. In Eastern Europe we found strong norms against equal access but small sex differences in FTE. In South America, we observed a stark difference in FTE favoring men, despite positive gender norms promoting women's paid employment. Objective 2: We found the association between SRH and FTE to vary across normative contexts. For instance, while in Scandinavian countries it was protective to be a woman in FTE and harmful not to work full-time, we found the opposite effect in Middle Eastern countries. Objective 3: We found a general tendency to move toward greater equality in norms and FTE over time everywhere in the world. However, political and economic events can generate variations over time and setbacks in progress toward equality.We specifically looked at 4 countries: Argentina, Egypt, Finland and Japan and assessed the effects of economic, political and national legislative changes on FTE over time. ImplicationsThis paper contributes to the conversation on tensions between universal justice and contextual factors affecting one's health. To achieve purposeful and global universal health and justice, policy makers and global health practitioners must design effective, context-relevant interventions that are deeply and transparently informed by the values they embody. As we strive to achieve global gender equality, its meanings and purposes will vary across contexts in ways that demand people-led conversations and interventions.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Cislaghi, B (Corresponding Author), London Sch Hyg \& Trop Med, Dept Global Hlth \& Dev, London, England.

By applying the technique of `optimal matching' on data from 1991 to 2008, we group individuals' trajectories post-16, and identify a small number of distinct transition patterns. Our results suggest that while 9 out of 10 young people have generally positive experiences post-16, the remaining individuals exhibit a variety of histories that might warrant policy attention. We assess the extent to which characteristics at age 16 can predict which type of trajectory a young person will follow. Our analysis shows that, despite the apparent heterogeneity, virtually all at-risk trajectories are associated with a relatively small set of key `risk factors': early pregnancy; low educational attainment and self-confidence; and disadvantaged family background. These characteristics are known to be strongly correlated across individuals and raise concerns about the degree of socioeconomic polarisation in the transition from school to work.

From the perspectives of individuals with chronic physical illnesses: i) what are the barriers in work disability policies with respect to labor market engagement? and ii) what are the facilitators in work disability policies with respect to labor market engagement? Introduction: Chronic physical illnesses have a high and increasing prevalence worldwide and are associated with significant disability in the working-age population. Individuals with chronic illnesses and disability have low employment and high unemployment rates, and low wages. Work disability policies have an important role in reducing negative labor market impacts, but inadequate policies may also pose barriers to work engagement. Inclusion criteria: This review included studies of individuals who were of working age, had one or more chronic physical illness, and had experience relevant to disability policy and work engagement. The phenomena of interest were perceived barriers and perceived facilitators in work disability policies with respect to labor market engagement. The context was any study setting globally. Studies considered for this review had qualitative data from a variety of methodologies. Methods: This review was conducted in accordance with the JBI methodology for systematic reviews of qualitative evidence. A literature search involved academic databases (ie, CINAHL Plus, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, AgeLine, SocINDEX, Social Work Abstracts, Sociological Abstracts, Social Services Abstracts) for published studies; gray literature sources (ie, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, MedNar, Google Scholar, OpenGrey, OAIster, Google, and relevant websites) for unpublished studies; and reference lists of retrieved records. No language, date, or country limiters were applied to the searches. Retrieved records from the database and gray literature searches were screened, with potentially relevant records then examined in full against the inclusion criteria. Eligible studies were critically appraised for methodological quality and those included in this review were subjected to data extraction of descriptive details and the study findings that were relevant to the review questions. Study findings were synthesized and were assigned confidence scores. Results: Forty-four studies of various qualitative designs and varied methodological quality (from low to high) were included in this review. The study samples represented a number of different chronic physical illnesses. There were 301 credible and unequivocal study findings, which were aggregated into 20 categories and 5 synthesized findings. Persons with chronic physical illnesses perceived barriers and facilitators relevant to the adequacy of disability policies in meeting their needs for returning to work after leave due to illness and for sustaining ongoing work engagement. They also perceived barriers and facilitators relevant to stakeholders' communication, help, and support respecting workers' efforts toward work engagement. Conclusion: Although confidence in the synthesized findings is low due to limitations in the methods and research findings across primary studies, the evidence suggests that both the adequacy and implementation of work disability policies need to be improved to meet the needs of workers with chronic physical illnesses, for their labor market engagement.

Methods This was a systematic review of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods studies. The outcomes were employment, transition to the open labor market and functioning. The review included qualitative studies of employment barriers and facilitators. The population comprised people with ID aged 16-68 years. Peer-reviewed articles published in English between January 1990 and February 2019 were obtained from the databases Cinahl, the Cochrane Library, Embase, Eric, Medic, Medline, OTseeker, Pedro, PsycInfo, PubMed, Socindex, and the Web of Science. We also searched Google Scholar and Base. The modified selection instrument (PIOS: participants, intervention, outcome, and study design) used in the selection of the articles depended on the selection criteria. Results Ten quantitative (one randomized controlled, one concurrently controlled, and eight cohort studies), six qualitative studies, one multimethod study, and 21 case studies met the inclusion criteria. The quantitative studies showed that secondary education increases employment among people with ID when it includes work experience and personal support services. Supported employment also increased employment in the open labor market, which sheltered work did not. The barriers to employment were the use of sheltered work, discrimination in vocational experience, the use of class teaching, and deficient work experience while still at school. The facilitators of employment were one's own activity, the support of one's family, job coaching, a well-designed work environment, appreciation of one's work, support form one's employer and work organization, knowledge and experience of employment during secondary education, and for entrepreneurs, the use of a support person. Conclusions The employment of people with ID can be improved through secondary education including proper teaching methods and personal support services, the use of supported work, workplace accommodations and support from one's family and employer. These results can be utilized in the development of rehabilitation, education, and the employment of people with ID, to allow them the opportunity to work in the open labor market and participate in society.}, Type = {Review}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Nevala, N (Corresponding Author), Finnish Inst Occupat Hlth, POB 40, Tyoterveyslaitos 00032, Finland.

But creating job opportunities for women is not a magical tool that solves all the gender inequalities, on the contrary, Marxist feminists argue that the gendered structure of labour even expands the gap between genders. And feminist geographers underline that women experience public places with a range of barriers created by the patriarchal form of built environments. Even the women have decent works, it is not easy for women to be in public just because the built environment avoids their needs. But despite this hopeless and adverse framework, microanalyses that focus on female workers from developing countries show that women embrace working outside of the home. And when they have proper conditions, they create their empowerment strategies which are slow but deep and strong. This study aims to reveal these empowerments strategies and the needed necessary conditions from the usage of public place perspective. The study case, Geyve in Sakarya, has rural and urban characteristics at the same time. Patriarchal and religious values are deeply embedded in the place. And these values affect the gender roles, labour, and the usage of public places too. Traditionally, women used to work in the agricultural sector as unpaid workers. And their public place usage is limited. But in the 1990s, two food factories opened in Geyve and offered uneducated women a job opportunity aside from the agricultural sector. Women's participation in paid labour in 30 years changed many dynamics, usage of public places too. The study was conducted with the feminist method, focusing on women's standpoint, to understand these changes from the women's perspective. The main data source of this study is the daily life experiences of blue-collar women. These daily life experiences were obtained through in-depth interviews with twenty two female workers. The factory representatives declared that the majority of the female workers are married with children. For this reason, the interviewees were mainly selected from married women with children. The working conditions are critically important in women's changing behaviours, for this reason, the study focused on a work environment where women work in the same environment with men, under the same conditions, and have the same rights. In this context, the study didn't include Geyve's automotive sector. Because this sector is mostly dominated by men. And the textile sector is also out of the scope of the study for a similar reason. Textile sector workers are mostly female and, there is a strong gender hierarchy in this sector. The food factories, which are built in the 1990s and have 1500 workers together, provide the appropriate conditions for the study. In-deep interviews focused on revealing gendered forms of public places, women's questioning interiorised gender roles, and the reflections of these questionings on public place usage. The study showed that women's strategies diversify based on their marital status, owning children, and age. For example, mothers with school-aged children justify their existence in public places with their motherhood identity. And young and single women prefer the same cafes as college students. Older women with adult children do not care to be in public or themselves, but they admire the youngsters and support their younger female members. There are two important common statements from interviews. All interviewees emphasised that they have the same rights to be in public because they work under the same conditions as men, and earn the same money. And they feel safe when they are surrounded by other females when they are in public places. These two statements show that although the women are aware of the unfair patriarchal form of public places, they don't try to demolish it to get their rights. Instead of resisting, they bargain, negotiate, and create small freedom areas for themselves. Joining paid labour and public life are crucial elements of women's empowerment. But women face many barriers in this way because of the patriarchy. Having local information about the women's struggle and survival strategies can be helpful to create ideal working places, empowerment policies, and place-making choices. Hopefully, this study will be useful to understand women's standpoint and include their needs and struggles during the policy-making processes.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Turkish}, Affiliation = {Çetin, R (Corresponding Author), Yildiz Tech Univ, Dept Reg Planning, Fac Architecture Urban \& Reg Planning, Istanbul, Turkey.

Equity in Global Advocacy for Palliative Care}, Journal = {JOURNAL OF PAIN AND SYMPTOM MANAGEMENT}, Year = {2022}, Volume = {64}, Number = {4}, Pages = {E217-E226}, Month = {OCT}, Abstract = {Evidence-based advocacy underpins the sustainable delivery of quality, publicly guaranteed, and universally available palliative care. More than 60 million people in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have no or extremely limited access to either palliative care services or essential palliative care medicines (e.g., opioids) on the World Health Organization Model List. Indeed, only 12\% of the global palliative care need is currently being met. Palliative care advocacy works to bring this global public health inequity to light. Despite their expertise, palliative care practitioners in LMICs are rarely invited to health policymaking tables - even in their own countries - and are underrepresented in the academic literature produced largely in the high-income world. In this paper, palliative care experts from Bangladesh, Colombia, Egypt, Sudan, Uganda, and Zambia affiliated with the International Association for Hospice \& Palliative Care Advocacy Focal Point Program articulate the urgent need for evidence-based advocacy, focusing on significant barriers such as urban/rural divides, cancer-centeredness, service delivery gaps, opioid formulary limitations, public policy, and education deficits. Their advocacy is situated in the context of an emerging global health narrative that stipulates palliative care provision as an ethical obligation of all health systems. To support advocacy efforts, palliative care evaluation and indicator data should assess the extent to which LMIC practitioners lead and participate in global and regional advocacy. This goal entails investment in transnational advocacy initiatives, research investments in palliative care access and cost-effective models in LMICs, and capacity building for a global community of practice to capture the attention of policymakers at all levels of health system governance.

This article, as part of a wider institutional ethnography, draws on the experiences of one NP and two NP candidates, as they struggle to establish and deliver PHC services in areas of high need, rural, and Indigenous Maori communities in New Zealand. Using information gathered initially by interview, we develop an analysis of how the institutional and policy context is shaping their experiences and limiting opportunities for the informants to provide meaningful comprehensive PHC. Their work (time and effort), with various health organizations, was halted with little rationale, and seemingly contrary to New Zealand's strategic direction for PHC stipulated in the Primary Health Care Strategy 2001. The tension between the extant biomedical model, known as primary care, and the broader principles of PHC was evident. Our analysis explored how the perpetuation of the neoliberal health policy environment through a ``hands-off{''} approach from central government and district health boards resulted in a highly fragmented and complex health sector. Ongoing policy and sector perseverance to support privately owned physician-led general practice; a competitive contractual environment; and significant structural health sector changes, all restricted the establishment of NP services. Instead, commitment across the health sector is needed to ensure implementation of the NP workforce as autonomous mainstream providers of comprehensive PHC services.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Adams, S (Corresponding Author), Univ Auckland, Sch Nursing, Private Bag 92019, Auckland 1142, New Zealand.

People with communication disability (PWCD), as a consequence of their atypical communication, may be more likely to be excluded from society, and denied their basic human rights, than other people with disability. Fiji, a multicultural and multilingual nation in the south-western Pacific Ocean, has limited services for PWCD. Service providers in Fiji include disability care workers, special education teachers, traditional healers, and a small number of visiting volunteer speech-language pathologists. This paper outlines the historical and current barriers to, and drivers of change for, service development for PWCD in Fiji. Issues: Five barriers to service development for PWCD in Fiji were identified. (1) A major structural barrier is the small population size to develop appropriate infrastructure including professional education programs. (2) Geographical barriers include the dispersed geography across 300 islands, low population density, the rural-urban divide, and risk of disaster from cyclones and flooding. (3) Linguistic diversity, while culturally important, can present a barrier to the provision of quality services that are available in the languages spoken by PWCD. (4) Cultural barriers include historical political instability, although Fiji has become more stable due to the recent democratic elections. The social climate affects development of services that are appropriate for different dominant cultural groups. (5) Financial barriers include low gross domestic product, low financial security and low human development index; however, the financial outlook for Fiji is steadily improving due to the change in political stability. Lessons learned: Three levels of drivers of change were identified. Macro-level drivers included Fiji's endorsement of international policy and increased globalisation (eg tourism). Meso-level drivers of change included receipt of foreign aid and support from international non-government organisations, development of disability-inclusive legislation and policy within Fiji, and strengthening of government policies that support disabled people's organisations. Micro-level drivers of change included establishment of disabled people's organisations by consumers, adoption of disability-inclusive policy and procedures by service providers, and changes in the perceptions of disability within the general community. Fijian prevalence data confirms that there is an underserved population of PWCD in need of specialist services. Significant advocacy work in the disability field by Fijian and international disabled people's organisations has led to the Fiji government signing international policy (eg Convention on the Rights of Peoples with Disabilities), inclusion of disability rights in national legislation (eg 2013 Constitution of Fiji Islands) and localised policy and practice documentation (eg inclusive education policy by the Fiji Islands Ministry of Education). Continued service development is required if Fijians with communication disability are to have their needs met. The drivers of change at all levels are positioned well to overcome current barriers to change; however, a coordinated approach including macro-, meso-, and micro-level drivers is required to ensure the future development of adequate services for PWCD in Fiji.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Hopf, SC (Corresponding Author), Charles Sturt Univ, Bathurst, NSW 2795, Australia.

The keywords used were `spinal cord injuries,' `spinal cord injury,' `spinal cord lesion' `tetraplegia,' `paraplegia,' or `quadriplegia,' `employment,' `return to work,' `occupation' or `vocational.' The search had retrieved 623 references to be filtered. The filtration yielded 346 abstracts to be assessed for eligibility. The abstracts reviewed yielded 21 eligible studies for further review. The rate of RTW was found low in most of the included studies with the range of 12.9\% to 42.1\%. Paraplegia, male, adult, and higher physical function had been the most employed. Low physical demand job such as management and administration, lecturing, teaching, and training, business and services, were the most re-entered. Secondary complications, transportation, poor accessibility at work, lack of knowledge and job were the most common barriers to RTW. Better health status, higher physical function, support and consideration, emotional stability and motivation, higher education, and transportation may facilitate the RTW.

The first project was implemented in accordance with the Cambodian national guidelines on community participation. The second using lessons and experiences gained as a result of the first project - worked with Buddhist pagoda volunteers. Primary research was conducted in both settings to assess the effectiveness of the two participation strategies. The article concludes that the success of community participation in externally funded health projects with relatively short implementation timeframes requires engagement with existing community-based organizations and agencies. In Cambodia, where Theravada Buddhism is the dominant religion, pagodas and associated volunteers appear to represent such an organization. Community participation structured around pagoda volunteers - who are held in high esteem within their local communities - is more effective and sustainable than newly (and externally) established community structures with formally elected representatives. Pagodas and associated volunteers in rural Cambodia offer the advantages of effective leadership, local organization, resource mobilization and management. It is recommended that programmes and agencies wishing to adopt community participation strategies in health utilize participatory research to identify the most appropriate local organization to lead such initiatives.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Price, N (Corresponding Author), Univ Coll Swansea, Ctr Dev Studies, Swansea SA2 8PP, W Glam, Wales.

This inequity is especially felt in low income countries in sub Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia where 99\% of the global burden of maternal death is borne. A goal of MDG 5 is to reduce maternal mortality and have a skilled attendant at every birth by 2015. A critical skill is ongoing intrapartum monitoring of labour progress and maternal/fetal well-being. The WHO partograph was designed to assess these parameters. Design and setting: a retrospective review of charts (n = 1,845) retrieved consecutively over a 2 month period in a tertiary teaching hospital in Ghana was conducted to assess the adequacy of partograph use by skilled birth attendants and the timeliness of action taken if the action line was crossed. WHO guidelines were implemented to assess the adequacy of partograph use and how this affected maternal neonatal outcomes. Further, the timeliness and type of action taken if action line was crossed was assessed. Findings: partographs were adequately completed in accordance with WHO guidelines only 25.6\% (472) of the time and some data appeared to be entered retrospectively. Partograph use was associated with less maternal blood loss and neonatal injuries. When the action line was crossed (464), timely action was taken only 48.7\% of the time and was associated with less assisted delivery and a fewer low Apgar scores and NICU admissions. Conclusion: when adequately used and timely interventions taken, the partograph was an effective tool. Feasibility of partograph use requires more scrutiny; particularly identification of minimum frequency for safe monitoring and key variables as well as a better understanding of why skilled attendants have not consistently `bought in' to partograph use. Frontline workers need access to ongoing and current education and strategically placed algorhythims. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Public childcare is a cornerstone in the `double dividend', that is, social policies that equalize children's life chances and support gender equality. The dual earner/dual carer family model interacts with full-time participation in the labour market, gender equality at home and universal access to childcare, and has made contemporary childhood multi-local and mobile. As part of their everyday organization of care, parents have to establish connections between home, work and childcare. Here, we use the concept of `care loops' to analyse how local families `do' combinations of welfare services, family resources, gender ideologies and the labour of migrant care workers. Drawing on empirical research on migrant care workers in Norwegian families and discussing recent studies of majority families' care practices, the article discusses the paradox that egalitarian norms and ideals might generate extra workloads that in turn create demands for migrant care workers and trigger geopolitical inequality.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Isaksen, LW (Corresponding Author), Univ Bergen, Dept Sociol, Postbox 7802, N-5020 Bergen, Norway.

This disparity is partially due to the unequal burden of unmet social needs that stem from several factors, including racism.Intervention Approach The Alliance is a collaboration among health care, public health, and community organizations formed to improve referral, enrollment, and successful completion of evidence-based lifestyle change programs, particularly among Black people. The Alliance built 1) a system to assess and address social barriers through the screening and referral process and 2) a training center for frontline staff (eg, community health workers). Evaluation Methods From January 2020 through September 2022, we conducted an evaluation that included both quantitative and qualitative methods. We developed an electronic database to make referrals and track key barriers to participation. Additionally, we conducted a focus group among frontline staff (N = 15) to understand the challenges in making referrals and discussing, documenting, and addressing barriers to participation. We used surveys that collected quantitative and open-ended qualitative responses to evaluate the training center and to understand perceptions of training modules as well as the skills gained.Results Frontline staff engaged with 6,036 people, of whom 847 (14\%) were referred to a lifestyle-change program from January 2020 through September 2022. Of those referred, 257 (30\%) were eligible and enrolled in a program. Food access and unreliable inter net were the most common barriers to participation. Thirteen of 15 frontline staff participated in trainings, and, on average, trainees completed 4.2 trainings and gained several skills (eg, ability to monitor personal bias, de-escalate a crisis, educate on mental health, understand community and environmental factors). Implications for Public Health The Alliance is an example of how health care, public health, and community partners can work together to increase enrollment in lifestyle-change programs of residents disproportionately affected by chronic diseases. Lessons learned from implementation and evaluation can inform other complex partnerships to improve public health.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Kepper, M (Corresponding Author), Washington Univ, Prevent Res Ctr, 1 Brookings Dr,Campus Box 1196, St Louis, MO 63130 USA.

If left unchecked, the bias in the design of EHRs and the subsequent bias in EHR information will lead to disparities in clinical, organizational, and policy outcomes. Electronic health records can instead be designed to challenge the implicit bias of their users, but that is unlikely to happen unless incentivized through innovative policy. Context Health care delivery is now inextricably linked to the use of electronic health records (EHRs), which exert considerable influence over providers, patients, and organizations. Methods This article offers a conceptual model showing how the design and subsequent use of EHRs can be subject to bias and can either encode and perpetuate systemic racism or be used to challenge it. Using structuration theory, the model demonstrates how a social structure, like an EHR, creates a cyclical relationship between the environment and people, either advancing or undermining important social values. Findings The model illustrates how the implicit bias of individuals, both developers and end-user clinical providers, influence the platform and its associated information. Biased information can then lead to inequitable outcomes in clinical care, organizational decisions, and public policy. The biased information also influences subsequent users, amplifying their own implicit biases and potentially compounding the level of bias in the information itself. The conceptual model is used to explain how this concern is fundamentally a matter of quality. Relying on the Donabedian model, it explains how elements of the EHR design (structure), use (process), and the ends for which it is used (outcome) can first be used to evaluate where bias may become embedded in the system itself, but then also identify opportunities to resist and actively challenge bias. Conclusions Our conceptual model may be able to redefine and improve the value of technology to health by modifying EHRs to support more equitable data that can be used for better patient care and public policy. For EHRs to do this, further work is needed to develop measures that assess bias in structure, process, and outcome, as well as policies to persuade vendors and health systems to prioritize systemic equity as a core goal of EHRs.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Rozier, MD (Corresponding Author), St Louis Univ, Coll Publ Hlth \& Social Justice, St Louis, MO 63103 USA.

Based on detailed linked employer employee data, we show that wage inequality is rising strongly - driven not only by real wage increases at the top of the wage distribution, but also by real wage losses below the median. Coverage by collective wage bargaining plummets by 16.5 (19.1) percentage points for male (female) employees. Despite these changes, the gender wage gap remains almost constant, with some small gains for women at the bottom and at the top of the wage distribution. A sequential decomposition analysis using quantile regression shows that all workplace related effects (firm effects and bargaining effects) and coefficients for personal characteristics contribute strongly to the rise in wage inequality. Among these, the firm coefficients effect dominates, which is almost exclusively driven by wage differences within and between different industries. Labor demand or firm wage policy related effects contribute to an increase in the gender wage gap. Personal characteristics tend to reduce wage inequality for both males and females, as well as the gender wage gap. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Second, if gender exclusion is taking place, why? Finally, what can the development community do to begin to eradicate exclusion? Through the case study of participatory budgeting in Peru, the article documents that participatory budgeting in this country is not inclusive. Economic barriers, combined with the fact that women are expected to take on most domestic duties, make it very hard for women to actually attend meetings, especially in rural areas where poverty and patriarchy are more pronounced. Additionally, the weakness of women's organizations prevents many organizations from registering to attend these processes.

However, rapid urbanisation and global agricultural restructuring constituting complex processes across multiple scales tend to threaten the survival of peri-urban agriculture. Focusing on family farms near Gothenburg in Sweden, this paper intends to explore the. relations between location and agriculture and how family farms have been able to continue farming in peri-urban areas. Unlike previous studies of peri-urban agriculture, mostly carried out by planners from an urban-centric perspective, this paper deploys a rural and place-based perspective by drawing on theories of agricultural location. Based on statistical and spatial analyses of land use change, and interviews with farmers and authorities, the processes and drivers of local agricultural change are analysed. The results identify four simultaneous processes that produce the diversity in forms of agriculture between farms: structural changes, loss of farmland to urban expansion, specialisation of on-farm activities and a niching trend of on-farm activities. The new findings which shed light on the theory of agricultural localisation are: 1) niche production greatly takes advantage of the pea-urban location; 2) a reverse von Thunen's transportation pattern is enabled by the proximity to urban consumers; 3) enhancing competitive advantage through saving labour costs is enabled by the direct relation to consumers at the peri-urban location; 4) multifunctional agriculture has potential but also raises conflicts between different types of land use in ped-urban areas; 5) a secured access to land for farmers enabled by the local governance which separates the increasing land value from land rent is fundamental for supporting continued peri-urban agriculture. Our recommendation is that policy makers need to shift to a location-sensitive governing praxis of agriculture in order to re-vitalise pea-urban areas. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

This review aims to develop an integrative synthesis of literature regarding the impact of prostitution policies on sex workers' health, safety, and living and working conditions across EU member states.MethodsA search conducted at the end of 2020 in bibliographic databases for quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods peer-reviewed research, and grey literature published between 2000 and 2020 resulted in 1195 initial references eligible for inclusion. After applying the selection criteria, 30 records were included in the review. A basic convergent qualitative meta-integration approach to synthesis and integration was used. The systematic review is registered through PROSPERO (CRD42021236624).ResultsResearch shows multiple impacts on the health, safety, and living and working conditions of sex workers across the EU.ConclusionsEvidence demonstrates that criminalisation and regulation of any form of sex work had negative consequences on sex workers who live in the EU in terms of healthcare, prevalence and risk of contracting HIV and STIs, stigmatisation and discrimination, physical and sexual victimisation, and marginalisation due to marked social inequalities, for both nationals and migrants from outside the EU.Policy ImplicationsThe evidence available makes a strong case for removing any criminal laws and other forms of sanctioning sex workers, clients, and third parties, which are prevalent in the EU, and for decriminalisation. There is a need for structural changes in policing and legislation that focus on labour and legal rights, social and financial inequities, human rights, and stigma and discrimination to protect cis and transgender sex workers and ethnical minorities in greater commitment to reduce sex workers' social inequalities, exclusion, and lack of institutional support.

Using nationally representative panels from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) from 1984 to 2007, we show that the economic consequences of divorce have declined since the 1980s owing to the growth in married women's earnings and their receipt of child support and income from personal networks. In contrast, the economic consequences of cohabitation dissolution were modest in the 1980s but have worsened over time. Cohabiting mothers' income losses associated with union dissolution now closely resemble those of divorced mothers.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify perceived barriers for medical staff of three hospitals in Spain to successfully implement a protocol for alcohol detection and BI for minors in the ED. Methods: Exploratory qualitative analysis using focus groups with semi-structured, flexible and open-ended questions to explore beliefs, attitudes, and barriers perceived by professionals to screening alcohol consumption and implementing BI in adolescents attended at the ED. Results: The main perceived barriers by health professionals were lack of time, work overload, mistrust, lack of validated and simple screening tools, lack of training/awareness and legal concerns about informed consent and confidentiality. Conclusions:. Barriers to screening and intervention in ED are similar to those described previously. It is necessary to improve organization of time allocated for medical consultations, avoid limiting ED resources, motivate staff and provide appropriate training.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Navarro-Zaragoza, J (Corresponding Author), Fac Med, Dept Social \& Hlth Sci, Campus Espinardo, Murcia 80100, Spain.

Economic empowerment of women through entrepreneurship and small business offers a huge space for the introduction real changes in their lives. Entrepreneurship and small business located in the center of events as change agents in the world, regardless of whether it is more or less developed countries. Why? Because it is an important source of job creation and open career opportunities for both men and women. It is an indisputable fact, however, that one is going, extensive presence of asymmetry in the approach to entrepreneurship and small business, which, among other things, also reflected in the trends in the labor market. Men and women were and still are affected by the loss or reduced employment security, or job loss, and women take an increasing share of responsibility cost of living adjustment for the family. But man traditionally ``remains{''} breadwinner of the family as conditional access to employment, and this fact leads to high levels of participation of women on the list of the unemployed. For all that, as a result, self-employment has become for many women this is their only chance for paid work. At the same time, however, women are confronted with fewer opportunities to start their own business due to specific gender barriers in access to information, support networks and collateral. Determining sexually sensitive policies in supporting the development of small and medium business is therefore an important priority of economic policy in countries in transition. The primary goal is that through a descriptive study (first in Bosnia and Herzegovina) to determine whether and to what extent business problems are present in a woman's small entrepreneurship in Bosnia and Herzegovina in post-conflict and transitional reality. In a broader context, the results should show whether and to what extent business problems are related to insufficient economic education, and to indicate the level of readiness of women entrepreneur in small business to further education, and the purpose of acquiring the knowledge necessary for solving business problems. Work will in this regard try to show what the current economic opportunities for additional education for women entrepreneur in Bosnia and Herzegovina. For the realization of the research there will be used all the basic methods of logical and scientific knowledge. Research on this topic was based on primary data collection methods, testing techniques through surveys. To this end, we have interviewed 125 women entrepreneur in small business in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The work will include theoretical analysis of the concept of women's entrepreneurship in general, based on the available literature, scientific articles, professional journals, and other available and relevant information. In connection with the interpretation of the data obtained, the paper will in this regard provide recommendations for measures to ensure the initial conditions (empowerment through all forms of education and training) that would result in a larger (self) employment of women and their increased participation in economic activities.}, Type = {Proceedings Paper}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Sestic, M (Corresponding Author), Univ Sarajevo, Sch Econ \& Business Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Bosnia \& Herceg.

Within the background of the new development model in Morocco, this study aims to explore how the social and solidarity economy (SSE) through the cooperative model can reduce territorial inequalities by promoting economic dynamics in territories with suboptimal human development. Design/methodology/approach The empirical material is compiled from a database of 75 provinces in Morocco. After establishing a typology of the SSE in these territories, a test of the spatial effect of some indicators, such as the rate of urbanization and female employment, was undertaken. Moreover, a spatial impact study of the cooperatives' entrepreneurship and the local human development index will be carried out among the cooperatives' numbers and the share of their members. Findings This study's results indicate a diversity in the participation of the SSE in the regulation of territories. First, there is a heterogeneous relationship in the Moroccan space. Then, the cooperative model in Morocco shows that it plays a central role in readjusting social and spatial inequalities, pointing territories with suboptimal human development. Research limitations/implications Although our theoretical contribution covers the impact of the three components of the SSE on territorial human development in Morocco. The empirical work of this study is limited to only one component of the SSE which are the cooperatives. The future perspectives of this work are to follow the impact of the three components after the implementation of the new development model in Morocco. Practical implications The main implication of this study is to map out the spatial role of cooperatives in territorial planning in Morocco. Policy makers still need to consolidate the implication of the cooperatives as a tool for promoting spatial equity, through the governance and the convergence between the different support and accompaniment programs for cooperatives in areas of human development deprivation. Originality/value The originality of this work comes from the exploration of the spatial dimension for the analysis of the role of the cooperatives for the promotion of a territorial human development.

Methods The study applies a mixed method design which combines 30 episodical-narrative interviews of participating rehabilitants alongside with a questionnaire survey of a total of 214 participants and 19 interviews of scientists and vocational retraining experts. Results Overall approximately 80\% of the participants of our sample successfully return to work within a period of 18 months. Significant barriers can be illustrated by characteristic risk constellations, which correspond to the following dimensions: occupational choice, coping with illness, the need for protective area beyond the rehabilitation scheme, lack of (typical) life course orientation, lack of acceptance of a transitional phase with lower salary, regional occupation-specific labor market as well as social inclusion and support. Conclusion Qualitative-hermeneutical methods generate - apart from diagnostic attributions and theoretical hypotheses - new factors effective for return to work with importance for rehabilitants; these factors refer to their embeddedness in processes, interrelations and interactions between biography, context factors, and administrative routines.

The purpose of this study was to identify barriers to and facilitators of implementing MiLES in organizations, from a manager's perspective.Material and MethodsMiLES was implemented as a pilot in four organizations for six weeks. Sixteen managers were included, of which fourteen were interviewed regarding their perceived barriers to and facilitators of implementation of MiLES in their organization. Interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim and analyzed with content analysis.ResultsThe managers experienced barriers to and facilitators of implementation related to: (1) implementation responsibilities, (2) the intervention's content, and (3) organizational characteristics. Regarding implementation responsibilities, management board approval and an organizational infrastructure with distinct described implementation responsibilities were perceived as facilitators. Regarding the intervention's content, its accessibility, user-friendliness and completeness were perceived as facilitators. If the content did not meet the manager's specific needs, this was perceived as a barrier. Regarding organizational characteristics, several intangible (e.g., added value of MiLES within different organizations) and tangible (e.g., integration into absenteeism registration) organizational characteristics were perceived as facilitators. The absence of a quiet place to use MiLES was perceived as barrier.ConclusionImplementation of MiLES in organizations may benefit from an infrastructure within the organization that defines responsibilities regarding intervention delivery to managers of employees with cancer. Such an infrastructure should be aligned to existing organizational structures. As per interviewed managers, MiLES has added value in diverse organizations.}, Type = {Article; Early Access}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Greidanus, MA (Corresponding Author), Univ Amsterdam, Dept Publ \& Occupat Hlth, Amsterdam UMC, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Thus, research into why this extensive gender disparity continues is a high priority. Recent years have seen a number of large scale studies on firefighter health and health risk behaviors however, none have focused on the health of women firefighters and nearly all have eliminated women from the sample due to small sample size. Data from the present report is drawn from all females in a large, randomly selected cohort of firefighters in an epidemiological study designed to assess health outcomes and health risk behaviors identified as most important to the fire service. Methods: Data reported for the present study were collected as baseline data for the Firefighter Injury and Risk Evaluation (FIRE) Study, a longitudinal cohort study examining risk factors for injury in both career and volunteer firefighters in the IAFC Missouri Valley Region. Of the departments assessed, only 8 career and 6 volunteer departments had any women firefighters. All the women solicited for participation chose to enroll in the study. The number of women ranged from 1 to 7 in career departments and 1 to 6 in volunteer departments. Results: Where possible, comparisons are made between female firefighters and published data on male firefighters as well as comparisons between female firefighters and military members. Compared to male firefighters, females had more favorable body composition among both career and volunteer firefighters. Tobacco use rates were generally higher among females than males and rates among female firefighters were similar to the rates of female military members. While rates of alcohol use were higher than the general population, only one of the participants evidenced responses in the range of concern on the CAGE screening. Conclusions: In general, the findings offer an interesting glimpse of the health of women in the fire service as a generally healthy occupational workforce with some unique health risk behavior challenges. They also highlight some of the similarities and differences between male and female firefighters and bolster the argument for studying female firefighters as a unique occupational sub-population.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Jahnke, SA (Corresponding Author), Natl Dev \& Res Inst, Ctr Fire Rescue \& EMS Hlth Res, Inst Biobehav Hlth Res, 1920 W 143rd St,Ste 120, Leawood, KS 66224 USA.

Work is important for health, well-being, and social, economic, and financial inclusion. However, it is often difficult for people with intellectual disability to find and maintain work, especially in the open labour market. Policy challenges remain about who can access open employment (also sometimes called competitive or supported employment) and how often people with intellectual disability do so. Greater understanding about the barriers that people with intellectual disability encounter when they try to find and keep work in open employment is needed. Drawing on research with 51 people with intellectual disability in Australia, this paper examines the systemic barriers they report to finding and maintaining work in open employment. The findings highlight that the barriers they experience stem from narrow, dismissive, and discouraging attitudes to their work in open employment and from a spectrum of experiences of stigma and discrimination in open workplaces. The paper thus provides new knowledge about reasons that people with intellectual disability may either reject or not continue in open employment and take up less inclusive work options. The paper discusses the implications of the findings, including the need for policy development for attitudinal change, designing more varied roles for employees with intellectual disability, ensuring access to industrial relations protections, and increasing and better regulating and funding requirements on support to people with intellectual disability who are seeking work in open employment.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Meltzer, A (Corresponding Author), UNSW Sydney, Ctr Social Impact, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia.

Four online forums were chosen for the analysis. Three key themes were identified: dating and violence in intimate relationships; fear of violence and safety strategies; and coping after sexual assault. Forum posters faced heightened gender policing and scrutiny, due to not conforming to normative ideals of femininity. Femininity was also predicated on white, middle-class status, and associated with domesticity and romance. As a result, expressions of femininity from non-white backgrounds could be read as deviant or excessive. The intersection of deviation from gender norms and femininity based on whiteness meant that transwomen of colour faced disproportionate levels of violence, both in public and private spaces. Transwomen of colour also faced disadvantage due to participation in higher-risk forms of sex work, low socioeconomic status and employment, and institutional discrimination. Coping mechanisms to deal with cumulative disadvantage included seeking support from health professionals and transgender community networks.

In Africa, as elsewhere, inequalities persist between women and men in terms of access to and control over resources and opportunities. ILO provided insight into the inequality in unemployment based on gender. ``In employment, women are found more often than men in informal and precarious work, with particularly pronounced imbalances in some sectors{''} (ILO, Geneva 2002). The critical importance of closing gender gaps - which are not only contrary to the realization of women's rights, but also an obstacle to poverty reduction - is widely recognized. The report on the State of Food and Agriculture of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) shows, for instance, ``that if women had the same access to productive resources as men, they could increase farm yields by 20-30 per cent, raising total agricultural output in developing countries by 2.5-4 per cent, which could in turn reduce the number of hungry people in the world by 12-17 per cent{''} (FAO, Rome 2011). For women, who due to gender-based norms often have lower access to and control over economic and social resources and opportunities, cooperatives present distinct advantages. According to Argawal, women participation in cooperatives has its own advantages. ``Apart from being able to access economies of scale as providers of services, producers or as consumers, participating in a cooperative as a member, elected leader or manager also brings with it enhanced status and voice in the community and society in general{''} (Argawal 2001). Given that there is insufficient research data on gender issues in Cooperatives, and in particular the participation of women in Leadership roles, KUSCCO in collaboration with the Cooperative University of Kenya conducted an qualitative empirical research that focused on co-operatives under the umbrella of the Kenya Union of Savings and Credit Co-operatives (KUSCCO) and explored initiatives that KUSCCO has put in place in promoting gender integration in them and recommended strategies for enhancing gender balance.}, Type = {Proceedings Paper}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Gicheru, E (Corresponding Author), Cooperat Univ Kenya, Nairobi, Kenya.

Twenty-six, gender-balanced life course interviews with persons living in Switzerland and representing four impairment groups and three age cohorts were conducted. Applying qualitative content analysis, we found that over the entire work life course environmental factors such as support structures and attitudes were most salient (as compared to personal factors and impairment effects), and that facilitating and impeding factors cut across impairment groups and age cohorts. To achieve parity of participation and to enhance people with disabilities' active citizenship and opportunities to access, and flourish in, the labour market, society has to both recognize their rights and provide sufficient economic resources to remove existing barriers.Points of interest Having a paid job is an important aspect and sign of a person's social participation and inclusion. We collected personal stories of disabled people living in Switzerland to identify the barriers and support they experienced in finding and maintaining a suitable paid job. Most of the barriers identified were environmental and could have been addressed by workplace adjustments and policy changes. The diversity of the disabled interviewees was reflected in the barriers and support they experienced. However, the presence or absence of support from family members, job counsellors, employers and work colleagues played an important role across different types of disabilities.

The main goals of this work were to assess the effectiveness of QI strategies designed to improve diabetes care in rural areas, and identify characteristics associated with greater success. Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis. Systematic electronic searches were conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and 12 additional bibliographic sources. Experimental studies carried out in the OECD member countries assessing the effectiveness of QI interventions aiming to improve diabetes care in rural areas were included. The effect of the interventions and their impact on glycated hemoglobin was pooled using a random-effects meta-analysis. Results: Twenty-six studies assessing the effectiveness of twenty QI interventions were included. Interventions targeted patients (45\%), clinicians (5\%), the health system (15\%), or several targets (35\%), and consisted of the implementation of one or multiple QI strategies. Most of the interventions produced a positive impact on processes of care or diabetes self-management, but a lower effect on health outcomes was observed. Interventions with multiple strategies and targeting the health system and/or clinicians were more likely to be effective. Six QI interventions were included in the meta-analysis (1,496 patients), which showed a significant reduction in overall glycated hemoglobin of 0.41 points from baseline in those patients receiving the interventions (95\% CI -0.75\% to -0.07\%). Conclusions: This work identified several characteristics associated with successful interventions to improve the quality of diabetes care in rural areas. Efforts to improve diabetes care in rural communities should focus on interventions with multiple strategies targeted at clinicians and/or the health system, rather than on traditional patientoriented interventions.}, Type = {Review}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Ricci-Cabello, I (Corresponding Author), Univ Oxford, Dept Primary Care Hlth Sci, Oxford, England.

Public policies supporting social justice for persons with disabilities have gained prominence in several nations in the last decades and it is critical to ensure that those who want to work are afforded the opportunity to do so. Meanwhile they remain under represented in the labor market within the contemporary world. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to identify facilitators or barriers faced by people with disability within the workforce. PARTICIPANTS: Ten workers with disabilities from various companies and performing diverse professional job functions participated in semi-structured interviews. METHOD: The Discourse of the Collective Subject method was employed as a means to organize and analyze qualitative data of a verbal nature. RESULTS: Reasonable work conditions, adjustments, and accommodations facilitate performance and job retention. Social participation through employment leads to social recognition and the feeling of citizenship. On the other hand prejudice, unequal opportunities, workers' low educational attainment, and lack of training opportunities lead to employment exclusion. CONCLUSION: To include people with disabilities in the workforce, it is necessary to focus on attaining equal levels of education, an unbiased and inclusive process for entering the labor market, and continued management of disability issues within the workplace. Together, these elements create equal opportunities for workers with disabilities to advance in their careers, which in turn enables participation, social recognition and guaranties their rights as citizens.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Toldrá, RC (Corresponding Author), Rua Cipotanea 51, BR-30917431 Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Design/methodology/approach This study is interpretive, combining both quantitative and qualitative research methods. This comprises primary data; collected from interviews of tourism policy makers and experts; and analysis of secondary research data on tourism investments made by government agencies and other organizations that generate and/or provide official statistical data. Interviews are conducted in a semi-structured, open-ended format that enable respondents to provide insights and expound on ideas shared. Findings The findings reveal that some SDGs have greater alignment with some of the targets of the SDGs than others. The results proffer a possible reason for this; this could be owing to the priorities of the Ministry of Tourism as it relates to investment in tourism development - investment in improved infrastructure is high on the priority of the Ministry, and therefore reflects better alignment to SDG 9, which relates to infrastructure. Research limitations/implications This study provides a backdrop from which to assess Jamaica's investment activities in furtherance of inclusive and sustainable tourism. The findings also inform decision makers - whether they continue on the current trajectory, or in facilitating adjustments to enable tourism investments to better align with the SDGs. The main limitation lies in the fact that the research findings may only be transferable and generalized to the extent that other jurisdictions bear similar macroeconomic characteristics to Jamaica. Practical implications This study lends itself to opportunities for future research in other similar small island developing states. It also contributes to the body of knowledge on investments that work to further the aims of the SDGs and provides a base from which to conduct further research. Social implications The social implications of tourism investment closely align with SDGs including tourism that is more inclusive and sustainable; that reduces income inequalities; that is beneficial to all Jamaicans, whether directly or indirectly; and that contributes to the development of human capital. Originality/value This study evaluates investment alignment with the SDGs in relation to Destination Jamaica. No previous work has been done to explore this relationship; hence, this research is pivotal in informing decision makers and continuing research in this area.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Spencer, AJ (Corresponding Author), Tourism Prod Dev Co, Minist Tourism, Kingston, Jamaica.

On rarer occasions, however, this explanation fits less well. Some young people grow up in families where poverty seems more deeply embedded and inherent to those families. Here, old ideas about a cultural `underclass' can be tempting to politicians and policy makers. Our qualitative research, with 20 families living in extremely deprived U.K. neighbourhoods, showed that neither a simple lack of job opportunities nor `cultures of worklessness' explained why hardship persisted for them. Our argument is that circumstances which appear to fit with the idea of an inter-generational, cultural `underclass', in fact, have their provenance in a semi-permanent constellation of external socio-economic pressures bearing on successive generations of families over decades. Examples did include a shared context of declining job opportunities but extended to a contracting and disciplinary Welfare State, punitive criminal justice systems, poor-quality education and the physical decline of working-class neighbourhoods. We take one example - the destructive impact of local drug markets - to uncover the complex, obscure processes that compound the disadvantage faced by working-class young adults and their families over generations.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {MacDonald, R (Corresponding Author), Univ Huddersfield, Sch Educ \& Profess Dev, Huddersfield HD1 3DH, W Yorkshire, England.

A central concern is how gender knowledge is mobilized by different actors as they compete to shape discourse, policy and practice on gender equality. We draw upon theoretical work that has interrogated the relationship between neoliberalism, gender inequality and feminist mobilization before reviewing critical assessments of the BCGE. The primary focus of this paper, having mapped this theoretical debate, is to analyse the role different Irish actors and organizations play in reproducing key frames and to examine the ambiguous or ambivalent engagement of different interest groups with this agenda. In turn, we assess the degree to which the agenda enables or disables structural change in access to power. We explore three case studies through which the BCGE in the EU was reinforced, adapted, resisted and rejected in our discussions, and draw out the constraints, opportunities and outcomes in each. Our first case study, which sets the national context for the following case studies, reviews how the Irish state interacts with the EU to frame gender equality and how it partners with key actors (state feminism and femocrats, private actors and feminist actors) to advance the BCGE. The second case study examines the role of the leading Irish feminist civil society organization (CSO) in the Women on Boards campaign that reinforces the dominant instrumental discourse associated with EU and national framing of gender parity on boards, and the ambiguity of feminists about this campaign. The third case study examines how Irish financial elites symbolically engage with gender parity on boards while simultaneously seeking to veto the implementation of gender representation targets proposed in the EU Capital Directive. It is clear that a degree of instrumentality informs most actors' framing of BCGE. We also find evidence of how power actors and financial elites, while rhetorically engaging in BCGE and employing it when relevant to develop reputational capital, will seek ultimately to protect the status quo rejecting the governance benefits implied in BCGE. Ultimately, our cases illustrate the potential of the BCGE to support the inclusion of women in governance structures yet demonstrate that engaging with BCGE is perilous for some.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Cullen, P (Corresponding Author), Natl Univ Ireland, Maynooth Univ, Sociol, Auxilia Bldg North Campus, Maynooth, Kildare, Ireland.

Design/methodology/approach This paper develops a theoretically informed model to assess affordability using complementary methodologies in quantitative analysis. This study seeks to help outline the nature of the problem in aggregate level and in the cities; it also seeks to offer lessons about how to address measurement and modelling challenges in emergent market contexts by constructing aggregate-/city-level housing cost-to-income (HCI) ratio, adjusted HCI (AHCI) ratio, housing affordability index (HAI) and effective HAI sensitive to multiple calculation methodologies and alternative data set involving income distribution and poverty tranches. Findings HCI, AHCI, HAI and EHAI models generally suggest the parallel results: housing is not affordable in Turkey and in Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir except for the highest income groups. The evidence implies that besides macroeconomic instabilities, distorted interest rates and short average mortgage maturity, poverty and unequal income/wealth distributions are the main reasons of the Turkish housing affordability crisis specifically heightened in metropolitan areas such as in Istanbul. Research limitations/implications The evidence provides an insight on housing affordability problems in Turkey. However, small sample size and short observation period create a limit for generalisation of the findings. Further analysis would be required to illustrate how housing affordability changes in different cities of Turkey in a longer period. Practical implications By using empirical approaches, this paper helps to understand how serious housing affordability problems of Turkey in aggregate and urban levels. This evidence helps to explain declining ownership ratio in low-income groups and in urban areas. Reliable explanations on existing housing crisis of Turkey also help to develop affordable housing policies. Social implications Declining housing affordability and homeownership ratio may translate as the rising housing inequality and insecurity among Turkish households. Moreover, better affordability values of higher income groups suggest that existing inequality, economic/social segmentation, and hence social tension between high and low income groups, may further increase. In this respect, the authors suggest socially important policies such as reducing income/wealth inequalities and increasing affordable housing supply. Originality/value This study offers a detailed empirical case study analysis that can be used as an exemplar of how to overcome data constraints in other evolving housing market contexts. This study sets out an approach overcoming the challenges of measurement. This study also combines existing methodological approaches with the modified variables to provide a more realistic aggregate-/urban-level housing affordability picture. The authors calculated some parts of housing affordability ratio and index series using discretionary income, minimum wage and effective minimum wage to show the variations of different measurement approaches. Some constructed series are also sensitive to income distribution and poverty thresholds.

I analyze how international law currently protects freedom formally at the cosmopolitan level in the case of two instruments: the individual petition on human rights and labor rights issues and the individual responsibility for international crimes (which Kant had in mind with his concept of ``cosmopolitan law ``). I then analyze how the protection of freedom in two international fora requires the development of specific policies for the protection of certain groups, which is largely motivated by monitoring the work of these forums by NGOs and other civil associations. From this analysis, I show that the Kantian concept of cosmopolitan law must be intrinsically linked to questions of identity (analysis of social inequalities and how roles and social stereotypes are constructed) and to the concept of cosmopolitan citizenship as a practice of cross-border associations in political struggles (rather than concepts such as ``world society{''} or ``collective consciousness{''}).

In an adapted NIMHD framework, we examined individual, interpersonal, community, and societal level contributors to health disparities across five domains: (1) behavioral, (2) physical/built environment, (3) sociocultural, (4) environment, and (5) healthcare system. We take a health equity approach to propose initiatives that target modifiable factors that impact disparities and advocate for sustainable change for priority populations.DiscussionTo improve equity, healthcare providers and relevant societal stakeholders can advocate for improved care coordination, referrals for epilepsy surgery, access to care, health informatics interventions, and education (i.e., to providers, patients, and communities).

Background Programs for unmarried, nonresident, and low-income fathers increased in number and scope over the past decade. Programs for fathers have typically targeted five broad areas: positive father involvement, parenting, co-parenting, employment, and child support payment. Method We conducted a systematic search for published and unpublished evaluations of fathering programs targeting unmarried, never married, and low-income fathers. We identified 25 reports with 30 independent studies. Of these, 21 employed a control-treatment design, and nine employed a one-group/pre-post design. Results These programs produce small but statistically significant effects (d = .099,p < .01). We found that only father involvement (d = .114,p < .05), parenting (d = .110,p < .01), and co-parenting (d = .167,p < .05) were significantly affected; the strongest effect size was in co-parenting. Unfortunately, these programs did not significantly influence father employment and economic well-being, nor did they significantly impact father payment of child support. Conclusion Although programs for low-income, unmarried, nonresident fathers have a small statistically significant effect, evaluation work may increase the impact of these programs. Implications. There is a continued need for evaluation focused on unmarried, nonresident, low-income fathers. There is also need for improved statistical reporting, reports of attrition, assessment of child outcomes, observational measures of outcomes, and better assessment of moderators, such as father age, program location, child developmental stage, multipartner fertility, and other barriers to father involvement.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Holmes, EK (Corresponding Author), Brigham Young Univ, Sch Family Life, 2086 JFSB, Provo, UT 84602 USA.

As a result, colleges and universities are receiving funding to grow academic programs that link theoretical learning with practical work experience. However, there is limited research about the resources available to students with disabilities who engage in WIL. From an environmental scan of disability supports for WIL on 55 Canadian post-secondary institutions' websites and survey results from WIL professionals we ask: Do post-secondary institutions in Canada help students with disabilities become career ready? The data reveals that 40\% of schools have no reference to disability services for any career related activities and only 18\% refer to disability supports for WIL. Survey respondents report they are not being trained nor have access to resources to support students with disabilities in WIL. The authors therefore recommend changes to public policy and resource allocation to ensure colleges and universities provide disability services for all WIL programs, train practitioners about career related disability management, and hire professionals who specialize in supporting students with disabilities in WIL. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted an environmental scan of 55 Canadian post-secondary schools with a student population of 10,000 or more and identified services and resources publicly advertised online for students with disabilities in relation to employment and/or WIL activities. From this broad search, codes were developed based on general themes found in the recorded information, such as the location of information and the type of resources and services advertised for students with disabilities. During the environmental scan, the authors also collected names and emails of people listed as working in career and/or WIL departments who received an anonymous survey about their experiences working with students with disabilities. Findings As the Government of Canada expands WIL to improve labour market outcomes for youth, the research findings of the authors provide valuable evidence that post-secondary institutions are not supporting youth with disabilities to become career ready. Surprisingly, 40\% of post-secondary institutions have no reference to disability supports for career related activities and only 18\% reference supports available for engaging in WIL on their websites. In addition, WIL practitioners are not receiving the resources nor training to support this demographic to transition from school to work. This research can provide direction on resource allocation; specifically, the need for disability related supports and dedicated professionals for students who engage in WIL programs in higher education. Research limitations/implications A limitation of the methodology in scanning public sites is that universities and colleges could have services or supports advertised on sites that can only be viewed by the faculty, staff and students from that school. Thus, it is possible that employment information for students with disabilities is available for those with login privileges. The authors attempted to mitigate this limitation by collecting survey responses about programs and services from WIL practitioners who work at the schools. The authors also did not measure marketing of services on social media platforms (e.g. Facebook, Instagram). Another limitation is that the WIL practitioner survey results are based on their perceptions. The sample size was not randomized, nor can the authors confirm it is a representative sample of all WIL practitioners in Canada. Practical implications As countries continue to grapple with how to deal with the intersectionality of disability on an already disadvantaged demographic in the labour market, they must ensure that students with disabilities have access to career ready activities while in school. The authors therefore recommend public policy and resource allocation, not only in Canada but at a global level, that ensures post-secondary institutions: (1) create disability management programs and resources for all WIL and career activities; (2) hire dedicated professionals who specialize in working with students with disabilities in WIL; and (3) provide mandatory training for WIL practitioners on how to support students with disabilities in programs that develop their career ready skills. Social implications Preparing students with disabilities to be career ready when they graduate will benefit the Canadian economy. This wasted human capital not only negatively impacts a labour market with an aging demographic, it affects social service programs as Canadians with disabilities are one-third times more likely to live in poverty compared to Canadians without disabilities (Canadian Survey on Disability, 2017). The G20 report also stated that if employment rates for people with disabilities who are able to work were the same as for people without disabilities, economies around the world could increase their GDP by 3-7\% (ILO and OECD, 2018).

We aimed to understand the extent to which, and how, Zambia has reduced socio-economic inequalities in U5MR since 2000. Methods Using nationally-representative data from Zambia Demographic Health Surveys (2001/2, 2007, 2013/14 and 2018), we examined trends and levels of inequalities in under-five mortality, intervention coverage, household water and sanitation, and fertility. This analysis was integrated with an in-depth review of key policy and program documents relevant to improving child survival in Zambia between 1990 and 2020. Results The under-five mortality rate (U5MR) declined from 168 to 64 deaths per 1000 live births between 2001/2 and 2018 ZDHS rounds, particularly in the post-neonatal period. There were major reductions in U5MR inequalities between wealth, education and urban-rural residence groups. Yet reduced gaps between wealth groups in estimated absolute income or education levels did not simultaneously occur. Inequalities reduced markedly for coverage of reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health (RMNCH), malaria and human immunodeficiency virus interventions, but less so for water or sanitation and fertility levels. Several policy and health systems drivers were identified for reducing RMNCH inequalities: policy commitment to equity in RMNCH; financing with a focus on disadvantaged groups; multisectoral partnerships and horizontal programming; expansion of infrastructure and human resources for health; and involvement of community stakeholders and service providers. Conclusion Zambia's major progress in reducing inequalities in child survival between the poorest and richest people appeared to be notably driven by government policies and programs that centrally valued equity, despite ongoing gaps in absolute income and education levels. Future work should focus on sustaining these gains, while targeting families that have been left behind to achieve the sustainable development goal targets.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Jacobs, C (Corresponding Author), Univ Zambia, Sch Publ Hlth, Box 50110, Lusaka, Zambia.

Among these goals includes (Goal 3.2) an aim for all countries to reduce Neonatal Mortality Rates (NMR) to 12 per 1,000 live births. Without properly allocating resources to see the most dramatic shifts in NMR, many countries may be at risk of not meeting these ambitious goals. However, there are many factors which may influence national NMR, and while much previous work has been done to identify factors that influence NMR usually on a nation by nation basis, these factors can tend to vary. The goal of this study is to find factors that consistently lead, by changing them, to a change in NMR for many countries, in order to better inform health policy and resource allocations to the medical sector. This study will serve as an exploratory data analysis step for future studies regarding the impact of several health indicators on NMR per country. Cross-sectional data from the year 2014 were used for this Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA). To identify indicators that showed significant differences between the countries with high NMR and countries with low NMR, Mann-Whitney U Tests were performed. The p-value for each mean comparison was less than the 0.01 significance level. We have built a K-means clustering model to observe the variables' contribution to NMR, as well as a K-means clustering model to observe the same data's contributions to Gross Domestic Product (GDP), to see if both NMR and GDP follow similar trends across our target countries. The clustering for NMR groups of countries showed mostly separate clusters, while the clustering for the same data for the GDP classes showed very little separation, as the most points from each class all occupied the same cluster. To determine the actual amount that each indicator contributed to the data, Principle Component Analysis (PCA) was performed to understand the strongest contributions to the total data variance. The results of this study will serve to highlight the most important areas which must be improved in order to fulfill the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) by the end of the next decade and to contribute to future studies that utilize longitudinal or more recent data.}, Type = {Proceedings Paper}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Chuah, J (Corresponding Author), Rensselaer Polytech Inst, Dept Biomed Engn, Troy, NY 12180 USA.

There are currently limited evidence-based interventions that address issues regarding participation for people AwPD. Objective: This study examined factors influencing participation in personal and life activities among people AwPD to inform future interventions. Methods: A cross-sectional study within an ongoing, community-based cohort study of participation was conducted. A purposive sample of people AwPD aged 45e65, living with a physical disability for at least five years, and who speak English was recruited through disability organizations, aging organizations, and social media. Participants answered open-ended questions about what supports they needed to successfully participate in nine activity categories derived from the Health and Retirement Study participation items (e.g., employment, community leisure). A content analysis was conducted using NVivo to categorize responses, and member checking occurred with four additional people AwPD. Results: A total of 215 participants completed the survey. Eight categories of factors emerged from the data: physical environment factors, social factors, symptoms, economic factors, policy factors, body structure and functions, mental and emotional state, and temporal factors. Participant responses illuminated a combination of environmental and individual factors. Physical effects of disability and accelerated aging, such as pain and fatigue, paired with environmental factors, such as accessibility of transportation, were reported as influencing participation. Conclusions: People AwPD experience a range of factors that substantially impact their ability to remain independent and participate in society. By identifying barriers to participation, new interventions addressing these barriers may be developed, resulting in more effective service provision, enhanced participation in personal and life activities, and improved health and well-being.

This study outlines the gender standard domains of major agricultural certifications, showing how some programs (Fair Trade USA, Rainforest) prioritize addressing gender equality in employment and others (Fairtrade International, UTZ) incorporate wider gender rights. To illuminate the implications of gender standards in practice, I analyze Fairtrade certification and worker experience on certified flower plantations in Ecuador, drawing on a qualitative and quantitative field research study. (1) I show how Fairtrade seeks to bolster the wellbeing of female workers, addressing their workplace needs via equal employment, treatment, and remuneration standards and their reproductive needs via maternity leave and childcare services. My research demonstrates that for female workers, addressing family responsibilities is critical, since they shape women's ability to take paid jobs, their employment needs, and their overall wellbeing. (2) I show how Fairtrade seeks to bolster the rights of women workers through individual and collective capacity building standards. My findings reveal how promoting women's individual empowerment serves as a precondition for collective empowerment, and how targeting traditional labor rights is insufficient for empowering female workers, since their strategic choices are curtailed largely outside the workplace. While Fairtrade certification bolsters the wellbeing and rights of female workers in and beyond the workplace, much still needs to be done before women can claim their rights as workers and citizens.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Raynolds, LT (Corresponding Author), Colorado State Univ, Ctr Fair \& Alternat Trade, Sociol Dept, Ft Collins, CO 80538 USA.

Relying on two new indicators, this paper examines the development of minimum income benefits across 26 EU and other OECD countries. The real benefit level, the first indicator, is relatively easy to interpret, but international comparisons require adjustments for exchange rates and purchasing power, which can introduce variation that is not related to underlying policy changes. In the second indicator, the net minimum income replacement rate, this disadvantage is cancelled out by construction. Our analysis shows that real benefit levels increased in most countries, whilst replacement rates declined on average. A subsequent qualitative analysis of the changes in the benefit levels confirms that the increased benefit levels reflect policy changes and that the lower replacement rates do not reflect benefit cuts, but relatively larger wage increases. Such a widening gap between benefit levels and wages is in line with the policy agenda of `making work pay'. Finally, by analysing the extent to which changes in quantitative indicators reflect actual policy changes, this paper seeks to make a methodological contribution to the ongoing debate on the `dependent variable problem' in the welfare state literature.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Wang, JX (Corresponding Author), Leiden Univ, Leiden Law School, Dept Econ, POB 9520, NL-2300 RA Leiden, Netherlands.

Alongside age, socioeconomic disadvantage is the strongest risk factor for avoidable hospital admission. This equity-focussed systematic review is required for policymakers to understand what has been shown to work to reduce inequalities in hospital admissions, what does not work and where the current gaps in the evidence-base are. Methods and analysis An initial framework shows how interventions are hypothesised to reduce socioeconomic inequalities in avoidable hospital admissions. Studies will be included if the intervention focusses exclusively on socioeconomically disadvantaged populations or if the study reports differential effects by socioeconomic status (education, income, occupation, social class, deprivation, poverty or an area-based proxy for deprivation derived from place of residence) with respect to hospital admission or readmission (overall or condition-specific for those classified as ambulatory care sensitive). Studies involving individuals of any age, undertaken in OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries, published from 2000 to 29(th)February 2020 in any language will be included. Electronic searches will include MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane CENTRAL and the Web of Knowledge platform. Electronic searches will be supplemented with full citation searches of included studies, website searches and retrieval of relevant unpublished information. Study inclusion, data extraction and quality appraisal will be conducted by two reviewers. Narrative synthesis will be conducted and also meta-analysis where possible. The main analysis will examine the effectiveness of interventions at reducing socioeconomic inequalities in hospital admissions. Interventions will be characterised by their domain of action and approach to addressing inequalities. For included studies, contextual information on where, for whom and how these interventions are organised, implemented and delivered will be examined where possible. Ethics and dissemination Ethical approval was not required for this protocol. The research will be disseminated via peer-reviewed publication, conferences and an open-access policy-orientated paper.

It uses two types of health status measures - self-reported and more objective health - and it considers two types of social relationships: individual social relations, measured through the frequency of meetings with friends; and contextual social relations, the average frequency with which people meet friends at the community level. Design/methodology/approach - A probit model is estimated from the worker sample accounting for the possibility of selecting individuals in the labour market (selection equation). Then expanded probit models (including inverse Mills ratio) are used on both self-reported and more objective health measures using new data from an income and living conditions survey carried out in 2006 by the Italian Statistics Office. Robustness checks are employed to deal with possible problems when interpreting the results. Findings - The study finds that social relations are correlated with health status of workers with differences among health outcomes. Social relations at the individual level are positively correlated with self-perceived health (SPH), negatively associated with chronic condition (CC) but not related to limitations in daily activities. Contextual social relations are negatively linked with CC and limitations in daily activities but not correlated with SPH. Research limitations/implications - Although the results are consistent with the argument that individual and contextual social relations influence workers' health, the author cannot prove causality. Social implications - Improving the health of workers could reduce health inequalities and could increase work performance. The implication at a macro-economic level of an improvement in the health conditions of workers is relevant in Italy, where the level of labour productivity is low compared to the other developed countries (OECD, 2013). Policy makers should consider the benefits, both at social and economic level, of public policies designed to improve the social and physical infrastructure of social relations. Originality/value - This paper is the first to relate individual and contextual social relations simultaneously to workers' health. Moreover, it makes several other contributions to this area: it control for unobserved worker heterogeneity; it uses both subjective self-reported health as well as a more objective measure of health based on CC and limitations in activities of daily living; it adopts a multilevel approach to examine in the same framework the individual and contextual relationship of social relations with individual health status of workers, in so doing, filling a gap in the literature on social capital and public health.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Fiorillo, D (Corresponding Author), Univ Napoli Parthenope, Dept Econ \& Business, Naples, Italy.

The trends of change of the indicators are analysed: type and degree of disability, age, gender, educational and qualification level, economic activity, regional distribution, marital status. Based on these characteristics the profile of persons with disabilities in different regions of the country can be defined and also the specifics of their needs in order to implement an adequate, effective and sustainable health and social policy in accordance with the modern concepts for long-term care. The analysis outlines a clear upward trend in the number of people with disabilities and the level of permanently reduced work capacity among the people at the age of 16 and older; an increase of the severity of the disabilities and the risk of invalidation with age advance; a higher number of women with disabilities per 1000 people compared with men; an increase in the number of people with disabilities living in cities, but higher levels of invalidation among the rural population; education inequality on the ground of the indication ``disability{''}, being a prerequisite for a lower educational and qualification level; a low level of economic activity. This socio-demographic structure poses a number of challenges to the social and health systems for receiving care adequate to the needs and providing a good quality of life to the persons with permanently reduced work capacity. The organization and the capacity of services provided must correspond to the needs of the persons with disabilities; guarantee the receiving of care necessary to preserve their autonomy and dignity; enable access to high quality services to all, regardless of their age, gender, residence and financial status.}, Type = {Proceedings Paper}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Pulova-Ganeva, YY (Corresponding Author), St Cyril \& St Methodius Univ, Veliko Turnavo, Bulgaria.

Work is an important route to social inclusion, but carers and people with disabilities are under-represented in the work force. The present paper reports key findings from a new study that evaluated People into Employment (PIE), a pilot employment project in the north-east of England designed to support people with disabilities, carers and former carers in gaining mainstream work. The study aimed to identify what clients, partner agencies and employers perceived to be PIE's most important services, its strengths and areas where there was scope for further development. The study collected quantitative and qualitative data at the mid-point and at the end of the project through two questionnaire surveys, and interviews with PIE clients, the project development officer, partner agencies and employers. Drawing on the `pathway model', the findings show that PIE's interventions included mobilising, matching, mediating and supporting activities. Key ingredients in PIE's success include: tailor-made job-search activities and training; adjusting the pace at which people move towards sustained employment; recognising and responding to the differing needs of people with disabilities, carers and former carers; confidence boosting; accompanying clients to job interviews; good job matching; and ongoing practical and emotional support for both clients and employers. Rudimentary calculations suggest that the cost per job to the project is less than the cost per job for large national projects. Overall, these findings illustrate how access to employment via flexible job-search services geared up to the local labour market can successfully promote social inclusion for carers and people with disabilities.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Arksey, H (Corresponding Author), Univ York, Social Policy Res Unit, York YO10 5DD, N Yorkshire, England.

Local healthcare professionals (n = 33) from medical rehabilitation facilities identified challenges in service provision, education and attitudes/approaches to people with disabilities, using consensus agreement for objectives listed in the GDAP. Results: Respondents agreed on the following challenges in implementing the GDAP: shortage of skilled work-force, fragmented healthcare system, poor coordination between acute and subacute healthcare sectors, limited health services infrastructure and funding, lack of disability data, poor legislation, lack of guidelines and accreditation standards, limited awareness/knowledge of disability, socio-cultural perceptions and geo-topographical issues. The main facilitators included: need for governing/leadership bodies, engagement of healthcare professionals and institutions using a multi-sectoral approach, new partnerships and strategic collaboration, provision of financial and technical assistance, future policy direction, research and development. Conclusion: The barriers to implementing the GDAP identified here highlight the emerging priorities and challenges in the development of rehabilitation medicine and GDAP implementation in a developing country.

Method: We conducted 26 joint semistructured interviews with post-9/11 veterans who had used at least one of three vocational and education services, and their family members who were enrolled in a VA Caregiver Support Program. Results: VA vocational and education services helped veterans with disabilities transition from the military into civilian life by providing skills and incremental exposure to engaging in everyday life tasks. Veteran motivation, caregiver support, and engaged staff at VA and academic institutions were key drivers of veteran success. Veterans who experienced challenges cited the following barriers: health problems, concerns about benefits loss if they became employed, and VA and academic programs that did not accommodate the needs of nontraditional veteran learners. Conclusions and Implications for Practice: There is a need to bolster VA vocational and educational services for veterans with disabilities in several domains, including modifying the roles of frontline staff and increasing communication between vocational counselors and health care teams to better accommodate the veteran's health-related limitations. Providing a vocational rehabilitation navigator to help veterans identify opportunities within VA and work/educational settings that are a good match for the veteran's goals and abilities could also be beneficial across vocational and educational services.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Shepherd-Banigan, M (Corresponding Author), VA Durham Healthcare Syst, Durham Vet Affairs Hlth Serv Res \& Dev HSR\&D, Ctr Innovat Accelerate Discovery \& Practice Trans, 508 Fulton St, Durham, NC 27705 USA.

Legislation has been put in place to ensure employment equity for individuals with disabilities in Canada. However, little is known about the employment profile and experiences of people with seeing disabilities. Objectives The objectives of our research study were to explore the employment rates of people with seeing disabilities in Canada, the factors associated with being employed, and supports and barriers that affect their work participation. Methods We used the nationally representative data from the Canadian Survey on Disability (CSD) 2017, collected by Statistics Canada. The CSD is a national cross-sectional survey of Canadians 15 years of age and above who face a functional limitation due to a health-related condition, representing more than 6 million (n = 6,246,640) Canadians. Our analyses focused on people who reported having a seeing disability. A subset of the complete dataset was created, focusing on individuals with a seeing disability. Weighted descriptive analyses were performed using SPSS. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted for individuals between 25-64 years of age to identify predictors of employment. Results Out of the estimated 892,220 working-age adults (25-64 years) with a seeing disability who were represented by the survey, 54\% were employed, 6\% were unemployed and 40\% were not in the labour force. Early onset of seeing disability (OR: 1.33; 95\% CI: 1.32-1.35), less severe seeing disability (OR: 1.51; 95\% CI: 1.49-1.53), education above high school (OR: 2.00; 95\% CI: 1.97-2.02) and daily use of the internet (OR: 2.46; 95\% CI: 2.41-2.51) were positively related with employment. The top three employment accommodations that were needed and were made available included: modified work hours (45\%); work from home (38.5\%) and a modified workstation (37\%). The top three needed but least available accommodations were technical aids (14\%), communication aids (22\%) and a computer with specialized software or adaptation (27\%). Overall, 26\% reported that an accommodation was required but was not made available by the employer. While 75\% of individuals with a seeing disability were out of the labour force due to their condition, the remaining identified barriers that prevented them from working which included (top 3): (i) too few jobs available (20\%); (ii) inadequate training/ experience (19\%), (iii) past attempts at finding employment were unsuccessful (19\%). Conclusion Adults with seeing disability in Canada experience lower labour force participation than the general population. Rigorous programs are required to assist them with the job search, job retraining and workplace accommodations. It is important for governments to improve efforts towards inclusive education and develop strategies that promote digital literacy of employees and job seekers with visual impairments. Although accessibility legislations have been put in place, programs should be established that provide accessibility solutions for various employers, enabling them to hire individuals with different abilities.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Gupta, S (Corresponding Author), Univ Montreal, Sch Optometry, Montreal, PQ, Canada.

Methods:Seven focus groups were conducted with rehabilitation clinicians; outreach providers, insurers/regulators, VR providers and disability employment service providers (n = 44) experienced in VR of individuals with ABI. All groups were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data analysis was guided by the CFIR constructs. Results:All stakeholder groups believed they offered quality VR interventions given available resources and legislation, but many clients fell through the `cracks'. Themes that were identified included: a) number and complexity of systems supporting VR; b) fractured communication across systems, c) lack of knowledge by both stakeholders and clients in navigating systems, d) lack of expertise in supporting the vocational needs of clients with ABI and e) perceived limited awareness of ABI by employers. Conclusion:Stakeholders and clients need support to navigate Australia's complex VR pathways. Limited specialist ABI clinicians, VR providers and disability employment services were identified as barriers for effective VR.

There has been concern that disability payments for psychiatric disorders reduce incentives for employment and rehabilitation. Benefits counseling, with education about opportunities to work and the financial implications of work on receipt of disability benefits, may counter these disincentives. Methods: This single-blind, six-month randomized clinical trial enrolled 84 veterans who had applied for service-connected compensation for a psychiatric condition. Veterans were randomly assigned to either four sessions of benefits counseling or of a control condition involving orientation to the U.S Department of Veterans Affairs health care system and services. Days of paid work and work-related activities were assessed at follow-up visits by using a time-line follow-back calendar. Results: Veterans assigned to benefits counseling worked for pay for significantly more days than did veterans in the control group (effect size=.69, p<.05), reflecting an average of three more days of paid employment during the 28 days preceding the six-month follow-up. Benefits counseling was associated with increased use of mental health services, but this correlation did not mediate the effect of benefits counseling on working. Conclusions: Barriers to employment associated with disability payments are remediable with basic counseling. More research is needed to understand the active ingredient of this counseling and to strengthen the intervention.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Rosen, MI (Corresponding Author), Yale Univ, Sch Med, Dept Psychiat, New Haven, CT 06520 USA.

BackgroundHypertension is a significant public health problem that impacts one in five persons globally. It is the leading cause of cardiovascular-related conditions such as stroke and myocardial infarction and accounts for most global non-communicable disease-related deaths. Limited healthcare access and social determinants of health are known contributors to poor health outcomes among persons with hypertension. Among Haitians, there are stark health disparities between those who live in urban versus rural areas. DesignA discursive review. ResultsSeveral issues are identified as barriers to proper hypertension prevention and management. However, after examining the effective interventions, we found that social determinants of health such as transportation costs, lack of field care facilities close to patients, roadway conditions, political disturbance, and ineffective leadership and policies are major barriers to controlling hypertension in Haiti. Although Haiti has received help from international organizations, strengthening its internal infrastructure is paramount in improving healthcare access. DiscussionThe review concludes that Haitians living in rural parts of Haiti are less likely to receive healthcare to manage non-communicable diseases such as hypertension. Similar to other developing countries, a heightened awareness is needed to address the lack of healthcare access for those living in rural communities. Impact to Nursing PracticeNurses and other healthcare professionals working with populations in Haiti should become aware of the barriers and facilitators that promote sufficient healthcare access. To achieve this goal, nurses must understand the social determinants and other factors that serve as barriers for achieving access to quality care for this vulnerable population.

To be excluded from the workforce creates material deprivation, erodes self-confidence, creates a sense of isolation and marginalization and is a key risk factor for mental disability. This review summarizes recent evidence pertaining to employment-related stigma and discrimination experienced by people with mental disabilities. A broad understanding of the stigmatization process is adopted, which includes cognitive, attitudinal, behavioural and structural disadvantages. Recent findings: Stigma is both a proximate and a distal cause of employment inequity for people with a mental disability who experience direct discrimination because of prejudicial attitudes from employers and workmates and indirect discrimination owing to historical patterns of disadvantage, I structural disincentives against competitive employment and generalized policy neglect. Against this background, modern mental health rehabilitation models and legislative philosophies, which focus on citizenship rights and full social participation, are to be welcomed. Yet, recent findings demonstrate that the legislation remains vulnerable to the very prejudicial attitudes they are intended to abate.

The heterogeneous geography of broadband infrastructure and investments results in variable service provision, and as such, there exist large disparities in access and performance within different spatio-temporal locations. This paper presents analysis of 4.7 million crowdsourced Internet speed test results that were compiled between 2010 and 2013 alongside various indicators of socio-spatial structure to map disparities in English broadband speed between and within urban areas. Although average speeds have improved over time, inequity is shown to emerge between different societal groups and locations. Short-term dynamics also reveal that in areas of different density, speeds can fall dramatically during peak hours, thus influencing the availability of services. The apparent disparities in access and performance represent a major issue as Internet use becomes increasingly ubiquitous in our everyday lives, with inequalities evoking social and economic disadvantage at local and national scales. This work resonates with UK government policy that has stimulated considerable investment in improving infrastructure, and presents analysis of an expansive crowd sourced ``big data{''} resource for the first time.

The data also suggested that disadvantaged young adults had to discard their old selves to consolidate their new identity. Research limitations/implications - A successful transition from unemployment to employment may require that old selves must be discarded before new selves can fully emerge. Given that our qualitative design limits the generalizability of the findings, the authors propose a process model that deserves further empirical examination. Practical implications - A clear employment goal is not always required for the success of a reemployment intervention: interventions should rather focus on accommodating the emergence and consolidation of provisional selves. Yet, such programs can be simultaneously effective and unhelpful: especially group identification should be monitored. Originality/value - Most research assumes that people are driven by specific goals when making a transition. The current study shows otherwise: the factors that enable or constrain a successful transition are not to be found in people's goals, but rather in the process of identity construction itself.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Koen, J (Corresponding Author), Univ Amsterdam, Dept Work \& Org Psychol, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

In view of this evidence, efforts have been made by countries in Africa where SCD prevalence is high to pilot NBS programmes and to strengthen comprehensive care services for SCD. While it is important to reap the benefits of NBS for SCD in Africa in terms of overall quantitative measures, it is also important to understand how certain social and cultural conditions may disproportionately influence the outcomes of screening for some groups. The aim of this study was to analyse the role of gender norms before and after NBS for SCD in Tanzania, and to assess how they influence the quality of care of diagnosed children. Using qualitative methods, we did in-depth interviews with families of children with SCD identified through the NBS services and focus group sessions with nurses working in neonatal and postnatal sections of regional referral hospitals in Dar es Salaam. By analysing the experiences of both the families and nurses, we were able to provide evidence on, firstly, the gendered relations that undergird childcare and, secondly, how those relations influence the quality of care the child may potentially receive. The results emphasize the importance of studying the social implications of SCD in Africa, especially with regard to improving the quality of care for patients with SCD in the region. We propose simple interventions, including gender-conscious health education and genetic counselling, which can help to improve the community understanding of genetic diseases while also reducing gender-related inequalities related to SCD care in Africa.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Bukini, D (Corresponding Author), Muhimbili Univ Hlth \& Allied Sci, UN Rd,Block 9, Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.

These inequalities are constructed over non-standardized salaries, work conditions, and the rights deprivations that arise from the kafala system due to demographic imbalances in the region. From this point of view, this paper's main argument is that inequalities exist between nationals and non-nationals in the labor market. At the same time, this paper argues that Gulf states have made some arrangements such as extending the kafala system and controlling salaried payments to eliminate labor market inequalities. The secondary data, including the participation of nationals and non-nationals in the labor market and their minimum and maximum salaries, have been used to present the inequalities in the labor market. This paper uses qualitative analysis and the interpretive technique to provide clear understanding. This paper's main finding is that although some strategies exist that have increased the rights of non-national workers in the Gulf countries, the salary and personal-rights inequalities in the labor market, as well as discrimination with respect to one's home country to still exist. In this way, the article's main objective is to make an essential contribution to the literature on the political economy of Gulf countries by presenting the current situation of nationals and non-nationals in GCC countries' labor markets following the government regulations that strengthen the labor rights.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Akkas, E (Corresponding Author), Agri Ibrah Cecen Univ, Agri, Turkey.

The south Indian state of Kerala, known for relatively equitable provision of public resources, is no exception to the marginalization of vulnerable communities. In Kerala, women's lives are constrained by gender-based inequalities and certain indigenous groups are marginalized such that their health and welfare lag behind other social groups. The research: The goal of this socially-engaged, action-research initiative was to reduce social inequalities in access to health care in a rural community. Specific objectives were: 1) design and implement a community-based health insurance scheme to reduce financial barriers to health care, 2) strengthen local governance in monitoring and evidence-based decision-making, and 3) develop an evidence base for appropriate health interventions. Results and outcomes: Health and social inequities have been masked by Kerala's overall progress. Key findings illustrated large inequalities between different social groups. Particularly disadvantaged are lower-caste women and Paniyas (a marginalized indigenous group), for whom inequalities exist across education, employment status, landholdings, and health. The most vulnerable populations are the least likely to receive state support, which has broader implications for the entire country. A community based health solidarity scheme (SNEHA), under the leadership of local women, was developed and implemented yielding some benefits to health equity in the community-although inclusion of the Paniyas has been a challenge. The partnership: The Canadian-Indian action research team has worked collaboratively for over a decade. An initial focus on surveys and data analysis has transformed into a focus on socially engaged, participatory action research. Challenges and successes: Adapting to unanticipated external forces, maintaining a strong team in the rural village, retaining human resources capable of analyzing the data, and encouraging Paniya participation in the health insurance scheme were challenges. Successes were at least partially enabled by the length of the funding (this was a two-phase project over an eight year period).}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Haddad, S (Corresponding Author), Univ Montreal, Ctr Rech, CHUM, 3850 Rue St Urbain, Montreal, PQ, Canada.

However, many low-income households are disadvantaged because existing public transit service does not provide them with sufficient access to destinations. Limited transit options, compounded with socioeconomic disadvantage, can result in transport poverty, preventing travel to important destinations, like employment opportunities. Given the growing gentrification of Canadian downtowns and the dispersion of poverty into Canadian suburbs, the time is right for a national accounting of those living in transport poverty, and the development of a national transport and land use strategy for alleviating the risks of accessibility deprivation. Accordingly, in this paper we measure and analyze vertical inequalities in access to employment in Canadian cities in order to estimate how many, where, and to what extent, Canadians are at risk of transport poverty. We make use of open transit network data and cutting edge accessibility measurement methods to generate comparative scores suitable for a national-scale analysis. We find that in aggregate, lower income neighbourhoods tend to have better levels of transit accessibility. But despite this overall positive outlook, there are still nearly one million low-income individuals living in urban areas with low transit accessibility. We summarize our findings by generating descriptive typologies for areas vulnerable to transport poverty which are then used to develop and recommend planning strategies to reduce inequalities.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Allen, J (Corresponding Author), Univ Toronto, Dept Geog \& Planning, St George,100 St George St, Toronto, ON M5S 3G3, Canada.

However, there has been less focus on the important role of place in shaping the distribution of risk factors Spatial variations in worklessness are one such factor In this paper, then we examine the extent to which between and within regional differences in the social gradient in self-rated general health are associated with differences in rates of worklessness. Methods: Data were obtained for men and women of working age (25-59) who had ever worked from the Sample of Anonymised Records (Individual SAR)-a 3\% representative sample of the 2001 English Census (349,699 women and 349,181 men). Generalised linear models were used to calculate region and age adjusted prevalence difference for not good health by education (as an indicator of socioeconomic status) and employment status The slope index of an inequality was also calculated for each region. Results. For both men and women, educational inequalities in worklessness and not good health are largest in those regions with the highest overall levels of worklessness. Adjusting for worklessness considerably attenuated the educational health gradient within all English regions (by over 60\%) and virtually eliminated between region differences Discussion. Macroeconomic policies, which influence the demand for labour, may have an important role in creating inequalities in general health of the working age population both within and between regions Employment policy may therefore be one important approach to tackling spatial and socioeconomic health inequalities.

There are two demands of the UAM syndicate (SITUAM) of administrative staff and faculty: one such demand is related to the salaries of the SITUAM administrative staff and part-time faculty and the other claim is concerning violations to the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the SITUAM and the UAM (the employer). The SITUAM is asking for an increment of 20\% to the salaries of the administrative workers and part-time faculty. The second set of demands are the violations to the CBA which includes that the UAM hires extra personnel of confidence as part of its administrative staff and with higher wages than those of the unionized workers and that the UAM has not created 400 new job positions agreed in former negotiations. To settle the lengthy strike the UAM authorities have proposed, on the salary side, an increment of 3.35\% to the salaries of the SITUAM administrative workers and part-time faculty as well as an increment of 3\% to the salaries of administrative workers by upgrading the wages of current job positions (job reclassification). On the violations to the CBA the UAM offers the creation of 93 new staff positions for the SITUAM. The federal government has increased the 2019 budget of the UAM by 3.39\% and most of the strikes this year in Mexican universities have settled with increments of 3.35\% to the salaries. What the SITUAM claims during this long strike is that at UAM the personnel of confidence obtains disproportional economic bonuses and incentives. The SITUAM workers ask as part of the solutions to settle the strike that the personnel of confidence reduces its economic bonuses and incentives and transfer that amount to their salaries. The authorities refuse. The difference in wages between a directive and a SITUAM worker is abysmal. At UAM there are 3882 administrative workers (47\%), 1262 personnel of confidence (15\%) and 3090 faculty (38\%). However, the salary budget is distributed as follows, 29.37 million US dollars (21\%) for the administrative workers, 42.60 (31\%) for personnel of confidence and 65.92 (48\%) for faculty. This shows a great income inequality because the personnel of confidence are the 15\% of the UAM working force and obtain 31\% of the salary budget, while the administrative workers who are the 47\% of the working force obtain only 21\% of the salary budget {[}2]. Also, the last report on salaries at UAM of the year 2018, shows that there are 85 persons who earn more than the Mexican President (net 5572 US dollars monthly): 52 are tenured professors and 33 are personnel of confidence. As the federal budgets allocated for the next few years might increase only by inflation, the UAM has to drastically reengineer its budge to secure its future.

Since the dawn of the new democracy in 1994, the South African landscape has witnessed surges of different scales of violence, protests, riots, looting, criminality, and vigilantism in which question marks have been raised with respect to the right to the city or urban space and the right to national resources and opportunities, i.e., access, use, distribution and spread of social, economic, environmental, and political resources and benefits. Louis Trichardt is a small rural agricultural town located in the Makhado municipality of Vhembe District in Limpopo Province, South Africa. In the study, this town is used as a securityscapes lens of analysis to explore urban conflict and violence. The relative importance index (RII) was used to measure the barriers and solutions to advance safe neighborhoods' settlements and built environment areas in the study area. In this way, issues influencing the performance of reconfigured securityscapes in Louis Trichardt were explored by highlighting how new town neighborhood securityscape initiatives and activities are contributing to space, place, and culture change management transitions. The discussion pressure and pain points revolve around the widening societal inequalities, deepening poverty, influx of (ll)legal migrants and migrant labor, lingering xenophobia, and failure to embrace the otherness difficulties in the country.

Their pledges referred to better governance for health and development, greater participation in policymaking and implementation, further reorientation of the health sector towards reducing health inequities, strengthening of global governance and collaboration, and monitoring progress and increasing accountability. WHO is developing a global system for monitoring governments' and international organizations' actions on the social determinants of health (SDH) to increase transparency and accountability, and to guide implementation, in alignment with broader health and development policy frameworks, including the universal health coverage and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) agendas. We describe the selection of indicators proposed to be part of the initial WHO global system for monitoring action on the SDH. Methods: An interdisciplinary working group was established by WHO, the Public Health Agency of Canada, and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research-Institute of Population and Public Health. We describe the processes and criteria used for selecting SDH action indicators that were of high quality and the described the challenges encountered in creating a set of metrics for capturing government action on addressing the Rio Political Declaration's five Action Areas. Results: We developed 19 measurement concepts, identified and screened 20 indicator databases and systems, including the 223 SDG indicators, and applied strong criteria for selecting indicators for the core indicator set. We identified 36 suitable existing indicators, which were often SDG indicators. Conclusions: Lessons learnt included the importance of ensuring diversity of the working group and always focusing on health equity; challenges included the relative dearth of data and indicators on some key interventions and capturing the context and level of implementation of indicator interventions.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Barros, A (Corresponding Author), Univ Fed Pelotas, Pelotas, Brazil.

Results Only 4\% of included 90 studies were conducted in low-income countries with the majority (52\%) conducted in high-income countries. Studies primarily focused on maternal newborn or child health and well-being. Education (81\%), including staff workshops and education modules, was the most commonly identified intervention component from the KT interventions. Low-income and middle-income countries were more likely to include civil society organisations, government and policymakers as stakeholders compared with high-income countries. Reported barriers to KT strategies included limited resources and time constraints, while enablers included stakeholder involvement throughout the KT process. Conclusion We identified a number of gaps among KT strategies for SRMNCAH policy and action, including limited focus on adolescent, sexual and reproductive health and rights and SRMNCAH financing strategies. There is a need to support stakeholder engagement in KT interventions across the continuum of SRMNCAH services. Researchers and policymakers should consider enhancing efforts to work with multisectoral stakeholders to implement future KT strategies and policies to address SRMNCAH priorities.}, Type = {Review}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Curran, JA (Corresponding Author), Dalhousie Univ, Sch Nursing, Halifax, NS, Canada.

Design: A qualitative study using the Kawakita Jiro method. Setting: A survey conducted in 2011 of 13 private Japanese medical school alumni associations. Participants: 359 female doctors. Primary outcome measures: Barriers of balancing work and gender role. Results: The female doctors reported that professional practice was a struggle with long working hours due to a current shortage of doctors in Japan. There was also a severe shortage of childcare facilities in the workplace. Some women appeared to have low confidence in balancing the physician's job and personal life, resulting in low levels of professional pursuit. There appeared to be two types of stereotypical gender roles, including one expected from society, stating that ``child rearing is a woman's job{''}, and the other perceived by the women themselves, that some women had a very strong desire to raise their own children. Male doctors and some female doctors who were single or older were perceived to be less enthusiastic about supporting women who worked while raising children because these coworkers feared that they would have to perform additional work as a result of the women taking long periods of leave. Conclusions: Important factors identified for promoting the continuation of professional practice among female doctors in Japan were the need to improve working conditions, including cutting back on long working hours, a solution to the shortage of nurseries, a need for the introduction of educational interventions to clarify professional responsibilities, and redefinition of the gender division of labour for male and female doctors. In addition, we identified a need to modernise current employment practices by introducing temporary posts to cover maternity leave and introducing flexible working hours during specialist training, thus supporting and encouraging more women to continue their medical careers.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Nomura, K (Corresponding Author), Teikyo Univ, Sch Med, Dept Hyg \& Publ Hlth, Tokyo 173, Japan.

This unprecedented crisis forces individuals to make considerable efforts to adapt and will have psychological and social consequences, mainly on vulnerable individuals, that will remain once the pandemic is contained and will most likely exacerbate existing social and gender health inequalities. This crisis also puts a toll on the capacity of our healthcare and social services structures to provide timely and adequate care. The MAVIPAN (Ma vie et la pandemie/ My Life and the Pandemic) study aims to document how individuals, families, healthcare workers and health organisations are affected by the pandemic and how they adapt. Methods and analysis MAVIPAN is a 5-year longitudinal prospective cohort study launched in April 2020 across the province of Quebec (Canada). Quantitative data will be collected through online questionnaires (4-6 times/year) according to the evolution of the pandemic. Qualitative data will be collected with individual and group interviews and will seek to deepen our understanding of coping strategies. Analysis will be conducted under a mixed-method umbrella, with both sequential and simultaneous analyses of quantitative and qualitative data. Ethics and dissemination MAVIPAN aims to support the healthcare and social services system response by providing high-quality, real-time information needed to identify those who are most affected by the pandemic and by guiding public health authorities' decision making regarding intervention and resource allocation to mitigate these impacts. MAVIPAN was approved by the Ethics Committees of the Primary Care and Population Health Research Sector of CIUSSS de la Capitale-Nationale (Committee of record) and of the additional participating institutions.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {LeBlanc, A (Corresponding Author), Univ Laval, Fac Med, Quebec City, PQ, Canada.

Two national conferences on public health and epilepsy (1997, 2003) and a 2012 IOM report on the public health dimensions of epilepsy highlighted important knowledge gaps and emphasized the need for evidence-based, scalable epilepsy self-management programs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention translated recommendations on self-management research and dissemination into an applied research program through the Prevention Research Centers Managing Epilepsy Well (MEW) Network. MEW Network objectives are to advance epilepsy self-management research by developing effective interventions that can be broadly disseminated for use in people's homes, healthcare providers' offices, or in community settings. The aim of this report is to provide an update on the MEW Network research pipeline, which spans efficacy, effectiveness, and dissemination. Many of the interventions use e-health strategies to eliminate barriers to care (e.g., lack of transportation, functional limitations, and stigma). Strengths of this mature research network are the culture of collaboration, community-based partnerships, e-health methods, and its portfolio of prevention activities, which range from efficacy studies engaging hard-to-reach groups, to initiatives focused on provider training and knowledge translation. The MEW Network works with organizations across the country to expand its capacity, help leverage funding and other resources, and enhance the development, dissemination, and sustainability of MEW Network programs and tools. Guided by national initiatives targeting chronic disease or epilepsy burden since 2007, the MEW Network has been responsible for more than 43 scientific journal articles, two study reports, seven book chapters, and 62 presentations and posters. To date, two programs have been adopted and disseminated by the national Epilepsy Foundation, state Epilepsy Foundation affiliates, and other stakeholders. Recent expansion of the MEW Network membership will help to extend future reach and public health impact. (C) 2016 American Journal of Preventive Medicine.

Primary health care might accommodate to this through the composition of practices in terms of the professionals working in them. The aim of this article is to describe the composition of primary care practices in 34 countries and to analyse its relationship to practice circumstances and the organization of the primary care system. The data were collected through a survey among samples of general practitioners (n = 7183) in 34 countries. In some countries, primary care is mainly provided in single-handed practices. Other countries which have larger practices with multiple professional groups. There is no overall relationship between the professional groups in the practice and practice location. Practices that are located further from other primary care practices have more different professions. Practices with a more than average share of socially disadvantaged people and/or ethnic minorities have more different professions. In countries with a stronger pro-primary care workforce development and more comprehensive primary care delivery the number of different professions is higher. In conclusion, primary care practice composition varies strongly. The organizational scale of primary care is largely country dependent, but this is only partly explained by system characteristics.

As the visceral urgency of those galvanizing moments fade, organizations must move beyond releasing supportive statements and determining how they can live up to their stated values. To truly support Black lives, academic medical centers (AMCs) must commit to critically examine and improve the manner in which daily practices, culture, and context uplift Black students, health care professionals, and patients to achieve health equity. One step is to create a culture that is willing to listen and improve when people express discomfort or report mistreatment in order to retain people who are underrepresented in medicine (URiM) in a welcoming environment. Academic centers should address microaggressions to create a safe work and learning atmosphere. Then, ensure that faculty, trainees, and staff represent the demographics of the communities in which institutions are situated. Recruiting and retaining an inclusive health care workforce must be systematic and intentional to achieve representation. Studies have shown that racial and ethnic concordance between providers and patients improves patient satisfaction and health outcomes. Further, business studies have shown that racially diverse leadership teams outperform teams that are more homogenous. Diversity benefits colleagues, learners, and patients by considering different perspectives and improving problem solving. Additionally, AMCss should teach about structural racism as a social determinant of health to raise awareness of a common cause of health disparities and understand why patients of color may distrust the medical system. Furthermore, academic centers should work with local leaders to assess needs and provide community benefits and advocate for policies that meet those needs. While there are some challenges in starting these conversations in our institutions, changing the status quo is necessary to achieve health equity for all.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Nguyen, BM (Corresponding Author), Univ Houston, Dept Hlth Syst \& Populat Sci, Coll Med, 4849 Calhoun Rd,Room 9037, Houston, TX 77204 USA.

Using data from interviews with 17 mainly middle-class parents in England, we explore in detail how parents go about choosing a childcare setting and the different phases of this process. This adds further nuance to the existing literature on choosing practices and the dysfunction and inequalities of a neoliberal childcare market, and also updates the discussion to include recent policy developments such as the provision of `30 hours free childcare' for 3 and 4-year-olds. We conclude that parental choosing involves a series of decisions in two or three phases, which start from practical considerations, followed by quality comparison and then back to practical constraints if a decision has not been made. The options open to parents are split between not only those able to accommodate shorter `free' provision and those that require longer periods of childcare to work, but also between those with children under three and above. Contrary to previous findings in this area, this split may work to the disadvantage of some middle-class families, whose children attend lower-quality settings as a result.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Chen, H (Corresponding Author), Northeast Normal Univ, Inst Educ, 5268 Renmin Rd, Changchun 130024, Jilin, Peoples R China.

Methods: A 14-day extensive workshop programme (September October 2014) was held at the University Hospital Antananarivo and Antsirabe, with the Department of Health Madagascar, by rehabilitation staff from Royal Melbourne Hospital, Australia. Attendees were rehabilitation professionals (n=29) from 3 main rehabilitation facilities in Madagascar, who identified various challenges faced in service provision, education and attitudes/approaches to people with disabilities. Their responses and suggested barriers/facilitators were recorded following consensus agreement, using objectives listed in the DAP. Results: The barriers and facilitators outlined by participants in implementing the DAP objectives include: engagement of health professionals and institutions using a multisectoral approach, new partnerships, strategic collaboration, provision of technical assistance, future policy directions, and research and development. Other challenges for many basic policies included: access to rehabilitation services, geographical coverage, shortage of skilled work-force, limited info-technology systems; lack of care-models and facility/staff accreditation standards; limited health services infrastructure and ``disconnect{''} between acute and community-based rehabilitation.

In addition. the development of SMEs is able to expand the economic base and can contribute to the increase of added value, in addition it would also serve to open employment opportunities in rural areas. Indramayu is one of the three mango production centers in West Java that face the problem that there are about 20\% of the mangoes that is not worth selling. This opportunity is utilized by women who are members of KUB (Joint Business Group) to be processed into mango dodol at household scale. But this effort has not been widespread, only pioneered by a small portion of women. This study aims toobserve the driving force of women to participate in the processing of mango dodol, and whether the mango processing business to become mango dodol is profitable, also how much added value obtained. This study uses case study method with interview for data collection, participant observation and documentation study. While the data analysis technique using Hayami Value-added Method and descriptive analysis.

Nevertheless, the motivation and retention of health care workers (HCWs) persist as challenges. This study investigated factors influencing motivation and retention of HCWs at primary health care facilities in three different settings in Kenya - the remote area of Turkana, the relatively accessible region of Machakos, and the disadvantaged informal urban settlement of Kibera in Nairobi. Methods: A cross-sectional cluster sample design was used to select 59 health facilities that yielded interviews with 404 health care workers, grouped into 10 different types of service providers. Data were collected in November 2011 using structured questionnaires and a Focus Group Discussion guide. Findings were analyzed using bivariate and multivariate methods of the associations and determinants of health worker motivation and retention. Results: The levels of education and gender factors were lowest in Turkana with female HCWs representing only 30\% of the workers against a national average of 53\%. A smaller proportion of HCWs in Turkana feel that they have adequate training for their jobs. Overall, 13\% of the HCWs indicated that they had changed their job in the last 12 months and 20\% indicated that they could leave their current job within the next two years. In terms of work environment, inadequate access to electricity, equipment, transport, housing, and the physical state of the health facility were cited as most critical, particularly in Turkana. The working environment is rated as better in private facilities. Adequate training, job security, salary, supervisor support, and manageable workload were identified as critical satisfaction factors. Family health care, salary, and terminal benefits were rated as important compensatory factors. Conclusions: There are distinct motivational and retention factors that affect HCWs in the three regions. Findings and policy implications from this study point to a set of recommendations to be implemented at national and county levels. These include gender mainstreaming, development of appropriate retention schemes, competitive compensation packages, strategies for career growth, establishment of a model HRH community, and the conduct of a discrete choice experiment.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Ojakaa, D (Corresponding Author), AMREF Kenya, Langata Rd,POB 30125, Nairobi, Kenya.

In truth, this shortage of nephrologists is seen in many parts of the world, including North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Asia and the African continent. Moreover, expert groups on workforce planning as well as national and international professional organizations predict further reductions in the nephrology workforce over the next decade, with potentially serious implications. Although the full impact of this has not been clearly articulated, what is clear is that the delivery of care to patients with CKD may be threatened in many parts of the world unless effective country-specific workforce strategies are put in place and implemented. Multiple factors are responsible for this apparent shortage in the nephrology workforce and the underpinning reasons may vary across health systems and countries. Potential contributors include the increasing burden of CKD, aging workforce, declining interest in nephrology among trainees, lack of exposure to nephrology among students and residents, rising cost of medical education and specialist training, increasing cultural and ethnic disparities between patients and care providers, increasing reliance on foreign medical graduates, inflexible work schedules, erosion of nephrology practice scope by other specialists, inadequate training, reduced focus on scholarship and research funds, increased demand to meet quality of care standards and the development of new care delivery models. It is apparent from this list that the solution is not simple and that a comprehensive evaluation is required. Consequently, there is an urgent need for all countries to develop a policy framework for the provision of kidney disease services within their health systems, a framework that is based on accurate projections of disease burden, a full understanding of the internal care delivery systems and a framework that is underpinned by robust health intelligence on current and expected workforce numbers required to support the delivery of kidney disease care. Given the expected increases in global disease burden and the equally important increase in many established kidney disease risk factors such as diabetes and hypertension, the organization of delivery and sustainability of kidney disease care should be enshrined in governmental policy and legislation. Effective nephrology workforce planning should be comprehensive and detailed, taking into consideration the structure and organization of the health system, existing care delivery models, nephrology workforce practices and the size, quality and success of internal nephrology training programmes. Effective training programmes at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, adoption of novel recruitment strategies, flexible workforce practices, greater ownership of the traditional nephrology landscape and enhanced opportunities for research should be part of the implementation process. Given that many of the factors that impact on workforce capacity are generic across countries, cooperation at an international level would be desirable to strengthen efforts in workforce planning and ensure sustainable models of healthcare delivery.}, Type = {Review}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Stack, AG (Corresponding Author), Univ Hosp Limerick, Div Nephrol, Dept Med, Limerick, Ireland.

Methods: We analyzed follow-up data from a quasi-experimental study of a job-search intervention conducted from 2016 to 2019. Participants were 88 youths with visual impairments from three states; approximately half received the job-search intervention, and the other half served as a comparison group. Measures included job-search activities and outcomes, job-seeking barriers, volunteer and work experiences, and parental support for job-seeking. Results: Commonly reported job-search activities were preparing or revising resumes, talking to people about jobs, submitting applications, and submitting resumes, but most participants performed these activities infrequently. Many job-seekers encountered barriers during their job search, and few searches resulted in paid employment. Participants generally reported moderate levels of preparation to handle job-seeking barriers and parental support for job-seeking. Intervention and comparison participants had similar results on most measures, with few exceptions. Discussion: When youths actively search for a job but do not find one, their motivation to continue job-seeking may be reduced, particularly if their preparedness to overcome job-seeking barriers is low. Although many participants had some engagement in volunteer or work activities, short-term work experiences were the most common-and perhaps most misunderstood-work activity. Implications for practitioners: Youths with visual impairments may benefit from feedback on their job-seeking approach, application materials, and interview skills so they can make changes and determine how to focus or refocus their efforts. In addition to offering feedback, service providers can provide ongoing support to youth job-seekers and encourage them to persist in their job search. Explicit discussions about different types of work activities may help transition-age youths understand how short-term work experiences differ from paid jobs.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Cmar, JL (Corresponding Author), Natl Res \& Training Ctr Blindness \& Low Vis, POB 6189, Mississippi State, MS 39762 USA.

Design: Observational longitudinal cohort study. Subjects: Seventy-four young adults with cerebral palsy of average intelligence, aged 16-20 years at baseline. Methods: Work participation in 3 categories (employed, unemployed, studying) was assessed at baseline, 2-year and 4-year follow-ups using structured interviews. At 4-year follow-up, associations of work participation with demographic and clinical characteristics were examined using multinomial logistic regression. Work limitations and barriers among employed persons were evaluated using questionnaires. Results: From age range 16-20 years to age range 20-24 years the proportions of subjects who were employed and unemployed increased from 12\% to 49\% and 3\% to 17\%, respectively; the proportion who were students decreased from 85\% to 34\%. In the age range 20-24 years, the employment rate of young adults with cerebral palsy was lower and the unemployment rate higher, than that of the general population. A lower level of gross motor function and younger age were associated with unemployment. Employed persons experienced few work limitations; 28\% experienced situational or health barriers. Conclusion: Young adults with cerebral palsy and average intelligence are at risk of experiencing unfavourable developments in work participation.

To describe the perceptions of breastfeeding in low-income pregnant women to understand their needs better as they plan to return to work or school. Background. Maternal employment has a negative impact on breastfeeding duration. Yet there is insufficient research on challenges and facilitators regarding breastfeeding and employment issue among low-income women in the USA. Knowing the perceptions of breastfeeding among low-income pregnant women and their plan to return to work or school may have implications for nurses and midwives in providing quality care. Design. Qualitative study using focus group interviews. Methods. The research setting consisted of three Women, Infants and Children clinics (WIC) in a midwestern city of the USA. Seventeen pregnant women (aged 19-35) participated in focus group interviews. Data were coded and analysed for themes and patterns using the QSR software - NVivo 6. Results. Eleven participants were single. Ten women were primigravida, and seven were multipara. The following five themes were identified: (1) perceived benefits of breastfeeding; (2) general perceptions of breastfeeding; (3) maternal concerns; (4) having the right support; and (5) anticipated challenges of combining breastfeeding and work. Conclusions. Low-income women anticipated substantial barriers for breastfeeding when they planned to combine breastfeeding and work or school. The results of this study have many implications for public health practice, research and policy. Educating employers and the public at large about the health and economic benefits derived from long-term breastfeeding could help promote breastfeeding awareness. Relevance to clinical practice. Strategies supporting breastfeeding among low-income working women must be provided at multiple levels to help overcome the barriers they concern. Health care providers should help women gain confidence by minimising their uncertainties and fears about breastfeeding to prepare them to continue breastfeeding successfully after returning to work.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Rojjanasrirat, W (Corresponding Author), Graceland Univ, Sch Nursing, 1401 W Truman Rd, Independence, MO 64050 USA.

Its origins lie in the 18th and 19th centuries, in the work of Johann Peter Frank and Rudolph Virchow, among others. Virchow's dictum that ``politics is nothing else but medicine on a large scale{''} highlights that most social determinants of health are politically determined and shape population health. Yet despite intense epidemiological and sociological research on the social determinants of health, less attention has been paid to this political and policy dimension. During the 1960s, the author and many other clinicians were directly involved in attempts to use health care institutions to foster structural change. However, the author argues that efforts to assist individual patients and more effectively manage their interactions with the health care system, as described in the articles in this issue's special collection on ``structural competency,{''} while worthy and useful, do not confront root causes. Going forward, efforts to effect structural change must take place outside the arena of the clinical encounter and involve interprofessional teams and collaborations with nongovernmental organizations. They should intervene directly on the structures that contribute to illness such as poor housing, income and wealth inequality, inferior education, racism and residential segregation, and toxic concentrations of extreme poverty in urban areas. Collectively, these efforts-within and outside the spheres of medicine-represent the real operative form of structural competency.}, Type = {Editorial Material}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Geiger, HJ (Corresponding Author), CUNY, Sch Med, Commun Med, New York, NY 10031 USA.

A recent transition, the US shale gas boom, has dramatically altered the domestic energy outlook and global markets; however, the social equity implications have not been meaningfully assessed and accounted for in public and private decision making. In this study, we develop and demonstrate a systematic approach to quantify the multi-dimensional equity state of an energy system, with a focus on the shale gas boom in the Appalachian basin. We tailor variants of standard equity metrics as well as develop new empirical and analytical methods and metrics to assess spatial, temporal, income, and racial equity as it relates to air quality, climate change, and labor market impacts across the natural gas supply chain. We find moderate to high spatial inequities with respect to the distribution of production (Gini coefficient (y) = 0.93), consumption for electric power generation (77 = 0.68), commercial, industrial, and residential end use (77 = 0.72), job creation (77 = 0.72), and air pollution-related deaths (77 = 0.77), which are largely driven by geographicallyfixed natural gas abundance and demand. Air quality impacts are also regressive, such that mortality risk induced by natural gas activity generally increases as income decreases; for example, mortality risk (m) (in units of premature mortality per 100 000 people) for the lowest income class (<\$15 000; m = 0.22 in 2016) is higher (18\%-31\%) than for the highest income class (>\$150 000; m = 0.27 in 2016). These risks are higher for white (m = 0.30 in 2016) than non-white (m = 0.16 in 2016) populations, which is largely a result of the demographics of rural communities within the vicinity of natural gas development. With respect to local labor market impacts within producing counties, we find marginal declines in income inequality (2.8\% 1.0\%) and poverty rates (9.9\% 1.7\%) during the boom, although household income increases for the wealthiest and decreases for the poorest. At a systems-level, there is an implied air quality-employment tradeoff of 3 (<1 to 7) job-years created per life-year lost; this tradeoff varies spatially (-1100 to 4400 life-years lost minus job-years created), wherein the job benefit outweighs the air quality costs in most producing counties whereas in all other counties the reverse is true. We also observe temporal inequities, with air quality and employment impacts following the boom-and-bust cycle, while climate impacts are largely borne by future generations. Cross-impact elasticities (c), which measure the sensitivity between different types of impacts, reveal that employment increases are sensitive to and coupled with increases in air and climate impacts (c = 1.1 and c = 1.3, respectively). The metrics applied here facilitate the evaluation and design of countervailing policies and systems that explicitly account for social inequities mediated through energy infrastructure, supply, and demand. For example, in future energy system transition, such equity metrics can be used to facilitate decisions related to the siting oflow-carbon infrastructure such as transmission lines and wind turbines and the phase -out of fossil fuel infrastructure, as well as to demonstrate changes in distributional tradeoffs such as the decoupling of environmental and employment effects.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Robinson, AL (Corresponding Author), Carnegie Mellon Univ, Pittsburgh, PA 15213 USA.

Dementia costs the UK 17 billion a year and in the next 30 years this will treble to over 50 billion a year. There is a need to raise competence of staff delivering care to people living with dementia across health, social and voluntary sector provision. Effective education and training will build capacity and improve staff knowledge. However, at present not enough is known about the experiences of staff involved in gaining the skills, knowledge and attitudes required to support provision of high quality care for people with dementia. This study was conducted within a large National Health Service Trust in the UK serving an urban, ethnically mixed population, in collaboration with a local university. The trust responded to government policy by seeking to identify staff training needs. The aim was to explore the experiences of staff working within a specialist mental health service in relation to development of skills for the provision of person-centred care for people with dementia. To achieve this, staff roles, experiences of dementia training and the ways in which staff feel they learn were explored through focus group interviews. Relatives' views of staff competencies necessary for effective care provision were also explored to supplement the data from staff. A total of 70 staff and 16 family carers participated and data were subjected to inductive thematic analysis. Five themes emerged: competency-based skills, beliefs, enablers and barriers and ways of learning. Findings suggested participants felt that skills for person-centred care were innate and could not be taught, while effective ways of learning were identified as learning by doing, learning from each other and learning from experience.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Smythe, A (Corresponding Author), Birmingham \& Solihull Mental Hlth Fdn Trust, Barberry Unit, Res \& Innovat, Vincent Dr, Edgbaston I5 2QZ, England.

While those early measures helped stabilize the global economy, the negative impacts of the crisis on employment continued to mount through 2009. The leaders turned their attention to labour market issues; labour and employment ministers met in 2010 and thereafter. However, the G20 and a number of other countries erroneously reversed the stimulus approach beginning in Toronto in 2010, leading to weak recovery, entrenchment of unemployment and stagnation of wages. Labour ministers increasingly advocated more robust labour market policies, but were resisted by finance ministers. The leaders themselves agreed to increasingly strong statements on wages, inequality and social issues but most G20 countries did not implement them. When the political backlash against globalization emerged in 2016 the G20 was seen by many as part of the out-of-touch elite that failed to address the difficulties and economic anxiety suffered by many G20 member households. The G20 should adjust course by implementing, in a coordinated manner, policies that can increase employment and incomes and reverse growing inequality. This paper lays out two practical examples of such policies. The first is a coordinated increase in minimum wages across the G20 to provide direct support to low-wage workers, restart overall wage growth and increase demand. If implemented by the entire G20 this would provide a serious stimulus to global demand, which still remains weak, and avoid competitive undercutting among G20 members. The second is a coordinated increase in financing for programmes to help those who have lost as a result of globalization. Losers often suffer very harsh economic effects and few G20 countries compensate them adequately. A well-advertised, coordinated effort including policies such as these could demonstrate the relevance of the G20 to populations that have benefited little from the group's efforts to date.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Polaski, S (Corresponding Author), ILO, Policy, 2 Rue Poissy, F-75005 Paris, France.

Gender stratification theories propose that women's control over material resources can increase bargaining power to leverage change in key institutions, prompting a shift to more equitable norms. By extension, policies that promote women's paid employment should serve as a fulcrum for gender equitable change. Is there any evidence to support this hypothesis? Investigating this requires a means to capture gender norms and stereotypes. The World Values Survey provides just such a mechanism because it contains a series of gender questions that span a twenty-year period and includes respondents from more than seventy countries.

One reason for this may be suboptimal program implementation. This study aimed to identify perceived barriers and enablers of the implementation of the 6-PACK falls prevention program to inform the implementation in a randomised controlled trial. Strategies to optimise successful implementation of 6-PACK were also sought. A mixed-methods approach was applied in 24 acute wards from 6 Australian hospitals. Participants were nurses working on participating wards and senior hospital staff including Nurse Unit Managers; senior physicians; Directors of Nursing; and senior personnel involved in quality and safety or falls prevention. Information on barriers and enablers of 6-PACK implementation was obtained through surveys, focus groups and interviews. Questions reflected the COM-B framework that includes three behaviour change constructs of: capability, opportunity and motivation. Focus group and interview data were analysed thematically, and survey data descriptively. The survey response rate was 60\% (420/702), and 12 focus groups (n = 96 nurses) and 24 interviews with senior staff were conducted. Capability barriers included beliefs that falls could not be prevented; and limited knowledge on falls prevention in patients with complex care needs (e.g. cognitive impairment). Capability enablers included education and training, particularly face to face case study based approaches. Lack of resources was identified as an opportunity barrier. Leadership, champions and using data to drive practice change were recognised as opportunity enablers. Motivation barriers included complacency and lack of ownership in falls prevention efforts. Motivation enablers included senior staff articulating clear goals and a commitment to falls prevention; and use of reminders, audits and feedback. The information gained from this study suggests that regular practical face-to-face education and training for nurses; provision of equipment; audit, reminders and feedback; leadership and champions; and the provision of falls data is key to successful falls prevention program implementation in acute hospitals.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Ayton, DR (Corresponding Author), Monash Univ, Sch Publ Hlth \& Prevent Med, Dept Epidemiol \& Prevent Med, Melbourne, Vic, Australia.

It is often difficult to return to work after unemployment, particularly for those with health issues. In this paper, we explored the perceptions, attitudes, and experiences of returning to work after a period of unemployment (hereafter RTW) barriers among unemployed adults aged over 50years.MethodIn-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with a diverse sample of 26 unemployed individuals aged 50-64years who were engaged with the UK Government's Work Programme. Data were thematically analysed.ResultsAge alone was not discussed by participants as a barrier to work; rather their discussions of barriers to work focused on the ways in which age influenced other issues in their lives. For participants reporting chronic health conditions, or disabilities, there was a concern about being unfit to return to their previous employment area, and therefore having to start again in a new career, with associated concerns about their health status and managing their treatment burden. Some participants also reported experiencing either direct or indirect ageism (including related to their health status or need to access healthcare) when looking for work. Other issues facing older people included wider socio-political changes, such as the increased pension age, were felt to be unfair in many ways and contradicted existing expectations of social roles (such as acting as a carer for other family members).ConclusionOver-50s experienced multiple and interacting issues, at both the individual and societal level, that created RTW barriers. There is a need for employability interventions that focus on supporting the over-50s who have fallen out of the labour market to take a holistic approach, working across healthcare, employability and the local labour market, providing treatment and skills training for both those out of work and for employers, in order to create an intervention that that helps achieve RTW and its associated health benefit.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Neary, J (Corresponding Author), Univ Glasgow, Gen Practice \& Primary Care, Inst Hlth \& Wellbeing, 1 Horselethill Rd, Glasgow G12 9LX, Lanark, Scotland.

Developing countries should provide an appropriate policy environment, while increasing their investment in these activities. Three of the eight goals are health related and aim to achieve between 1990 and 2015: a two-thirds reduction in child deaths (MDG 4); a three-quarters decline in maternal deaths (MDG 5); and reversal of the HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis epidemics (MDG 6). Doubling the proportion of girls with a secondary education from 19\% to 38\% could reduce fertility from 5.3 to 3.9 children per woman and lower infant mortality from 81 to 38 deaths per 1000 births. Other MDGs focus on public health (safe water, sanitation, environmental protection), alleviation of poverty and hunger, and the determinants of development (education, gender equity, fair trade, debt management). Income inequity exacerbates inequalities between the rich and the poor. Globally, only 36\% of poor women have access to skilled care at birth compared to 85\% among the wealthiest.

From this point of view, this study examines the history of the development of the educational sphere in the Russian Empire and analyzes the main stages and changes that took place in public policy, administration and regulation by law of these processes. Given the wide variety of groups of educational institutions in the country in the 18th - early 20th centuries, this work only considers issues related to the system of general and higher educational institutions, that is, institutions implementing primary public education, male and female secondary education, and universities. In this aspect, the author analyzes the guiding principles of organizing education at the central level - in institutions belonging to the Ministry of Public Education, because it was they who served, first of all, the goals of training a subject of the Russian Empire ``in general{''}, as a basic element of the entire state and the system of public relations. Using the structural-functional and problem-chronological approaches, the author distinguished three periods (with internal stages) based on a general analysis of state policy in approaches to education and, as a consequence, analyzing the corresponding system of educational institutions, governing bodies and normative regulation of the educational sphere. The author concludes that the educational policy directly depended on the ideological views and directions of the domestic policy of the monarchs and the elite of Russia. In the system of organization and management of education, there was a constant struggle between two tendencies: liberal transformations (the beginning of the 19th century, the years of the Great Reforms and the short period of the bourgeois-democratic republic of the Provisional Government) and conservative-protective transformations (tendencies characteristic of a longer period of time throughout the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century) The first tendency was characterized by the all-class nature of education, the elimination of class restrictions, the autonomy of university management, etc. The second trend was characterized by the establishment of class barriers in order to restrict access to education (and therefore, in the future, to public service, to social elevators, etc.) of the lower strata of the country's population, the limitation of the autonomy of universities, the acquisition of a higher level of education by subjects who were considered as a support of the monarchical regime - by landowners, officials, the military, etc.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Russian}, Affiliation = {Khaminov, DV (Corresponding Author), Natl Res Tomsk State Univ, Tomsk, Russia.

Setting The role of the PA is relatively new within the UK. There has been a rapid expansion in training places driven by National Health Service (NHS) workforce shortages, with the Department of Health recently announcing plans for the General Medical Council to statutorily regulate PAs. Given such recent changes and the relative newness of their role, PAs are currently establishing their occupational identity. Within adjacent fields, robust identity development improves well-being and career success. Thus, there are implications for recruitment, retention and workplace performance. This qualitative study analyses the views of student PAs to ascertain the process of PA occupational identity formation through the use of one-to-one semistructured interviews. A constructivist grounded theory approach to data analysis was taken. Research was informed by communities of practice and socialisation theory. Participants A theoretical sample of 19 PA students from two UK medical schools offering postgraduate PA studies courses. Results A conceptual model detailing student PA identity formation is proposed. Factors facilitating identity formation include clinical exposure and continuity. Barriers to identity formation include ignorance and negativity regarding the PA role. Difficulties navigating identity formation and lacking support resulted in identity dissonance. Conclusions Although similarities exist between PA and medical student identity formation, unique challenges exist for student PAs. These include navigating a new role and poor access to PA role models. Given this, PA students are turning to medicine for their identity. Educators must provide support for student PA identity development in line with this work's recommendations.

HAI rates in Greek NICUs are among the highest in Europe. There is a need to identify the factors that influence the transmission of HAIs and implementation of prevention interventions in this setting. Aim: To understand healthcare workers' perceptions about HAI prevention in Greek NICUs. Methods: Qualitative interviews were conducted with NICU staff (physicians and nurses) and infection prevention stakeholders (infectious diseases physicians and infection control nurses) working in three hospitals in Athens. Interviews were conducted in Greek, transcribed and translated into English, and analysed using a modified grounded theory approach. Findings: Interviews were conducted with 37 respondents (20 physicians and 17 nurses). Four main barriers to HAI prevention were identified: (1) resource limitations leading to understaffing and cramped space; (2) poor knowledge about HAI prevention; (3) Greek-specific cultural norms, including hierarchy-driven decisions, a reluctance for public workers to do more than they are paid for, a belief that personal experience trumps evidence-based knowledge, and reactive rather than proactive approaches to societal challenges; and (4) lack of a national infection prevention infrastructure. Respondents believed that these barriers could be overcome through organized initiatives, high-quality HAI performance data, interpersonal interactions to build engagement around HAI prevention, and leveraging the hierarchy to promote change from the `top down'. Conclusion: Implementing HAI prevention interventions in Greek NICUs will require consideration of contextual features surrounding the delivery of care, with particular attention paid to national culture.

Two rural communities had highly functional and collaborative interprofessional relationships between midwives and physicians, and two communities lacked interprofessional activities. Participants: 55 participants were interviewed and 18 focus groups were conducted with midwives, physicians, labour and delivery nurses, public health nurses, community-based providers, birthing women, administrators, and decision makers. Findings: in models of interprofessional collaboration, primary maternity care providers - physicians, midwives, nurses - work together to meet the needs of birthing women in their community. There are significant barriers to such collaboration given the disciplinary differences between care provider groups including skill sets, professional orientation, and funding models. Data analysis confirmed that interprofessional tensions are exacerbated in geographically isolated rural communities, due to the stress of practicing maternity care in a fee-for-service model with limited health resources and a small patient caseload. The participants we spoke with identified specific barriers to interprofessional collaboration, including physician and nurses' negative perceptions of midwifery and homebirth, inequities in payment between physicians and midwives, differences in scopes of practice, confusion about roles and responsibilities, and a lack of formal structures for supporting shared care practice. Participants expressed that successful interprofessional collaboration hinged on strong, mutually respectful relationships between the care providers and a clear understanding of team members' roles and responsibilities. Conclusions and implications for practice: interpersonal conflicts between primary maternity care providers in rural communities were underpinned by macro-level, systemic barriers to interprofessional practice. Financial, legal, and regulatory barriers to interprofessional collaboration must be resolved if there is to be increased collaboration between rural midwives and physicians. Key recommendations include policy changes to resolve differences in scope of practice and inequitable funding between rural midwives and physicians. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Swedish governments have argued that opening up the publicly funded eldercare sector to private providers would advance entrepreneurship undertaken by women and immigrants. In this article, we critically explore the ambiguity of the gender equality and ethnic diversity arguments used to justify private sector involvement in publicly funded eldercare in Sweden. We draw upon Carol Bacchi's theory of policies as gendering practices to argue that the discourses of equal opportunity underpinning the politics of entrepreneurship in the home care sector obscure and recreate inequalities. Our analysis, based on interviews with politicians, public officials and interest organizations involved in the market for Swedish eldercare, shows that the politics of entrepreneurship in the home care sector privilege entrepreneurs who reflect the white masculine gendering of entrepreneurship and disadvantage those with subject positions deviating from the normative entrepreneur. Our findings suggest that policy-engineered entrepreneurship is a poor tool in the struggle for gender equality, as this kind of policymaking is likely to operate in tandem with gendering and racializing practices that impede socioeconomic progress.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Brodin, H (Corresponding Author), Stockholm Univ, Dept Social Work, Stockholm, Sweden.

The main purpose of the regulatory policy on migration flows is the redistribution of professionally competent professionals between different spheres of life. Herewith, the determining factor in the effectiveness of such distribution is a rational combination of stimulating and disincentive levers of influence on the movement of citizens of different EU countries and taking into account the motives of such mobility. Modernization of migration management approaches can be a major economic, social, political and cultural progress of European countries. The purpose of the research is to conduct a detailed analysis of existing practices of migration flow management, in particular their stimulation or containment, and to outline key migration trends formed under the influence of multicomponent approaches to migration regulation, transformation of regulatory legislation and changing priorities of modern society. The research methods: statistical-analytical method; ARIS method; method of tabular, graphical and analytical modeling; comparative analysis; systematization, generalization. Results. Current pan-European methods of regulating migration processes are insufficiently adapted to the multinational social-economic space; consequently, there are some disparities in the distribution of migrants between EU countries, although the overall dynamics of migration is positive. Fluctuations in the population of European countries during 2000-2019 and trends in the transformation of social-economic space confirm the insufficient level of influence of current methods of regulating migration flows. Along with this, the presence of a characteristic asymmetry in the distribution of migrants requires a greater focus on the modernization of regulatory instruments, in particular, the regulatory mechanism for managing migration processes. As a result of the conducted study, further prospects for the implementation of alternative methods of regulating migration processes in EU states have been outlined; the current and projected limits for increasing the level of observance of migrants' rights at the European level have been clarified through the adoption of appropriate regulatory acts; effective solutions for intensifying the influx of high-quality labor resources from different countries to EU have been identified. The research results can be used to study methods of regulating migration processes in the countries in the global dimension.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Hamova, O (Corresponding Author), Zaporizhzhia Natl Univ, Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine.

Still, there are gaps in implementing programmes that address and counter the relevant dynamics. As an approach that focuses on social problems and public service delivery gaps, social entrepreneurship has the potential to be a closer health sector partner to tackle and transform the influence of gender in health to achieve health systems goals better. Nevertheless, social entrepreneurs' engagement and impact on gender and health remain understudied. Using the Ashoka Fellows database as a sampling frame in November 2020 (n = 3352, health n = 129), we identified and reviewed the work of 21 organizations that implemented gender-responsive health-related programmes between 2000 and 2020. We applied the UNU-IIGH 6-I Analytic Framework to review the gender issues, interventions, included populations, investments, implementation, and impact in each organization. We found that a low proportion of fellows engage in gender-responsive health programming (< 1\%). Many organizations operate in low-and middle-income countries (16/21). The gender-responsive programmes include established health sector practices, to address gendered-cultural dynamics and deliver people-centred resources and services. Interestingly, most organizations self-identify as NGOs and rely on traditional grant funding. Fewer organizations (6/21) adopt market-based and income-generating solutions a missed opportunity to actualise the potential of social entrepreneurship as an innovative health financing approach. There were few publicly available impact evaluations-a gap in practice established in social entrepreneurship. All organizations implemented programmes at community levels, with some cross-sectoral, structural, and policy-level initiatives. Most focused on sexual and reproductive health and gender-based violence for predominantly populations of women and girls. Closer partnerships between social entrepreneurs and gender experts in the health sector can provide reciprocally beneficial solutions for cross-sectorally and community designed innovations, health financing, evidence generation and impact tracking that improve the gender-responsiveness of health programmes, policies, and systems.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Vijayasingham, L (Corresponding Author), UKM Med Ctr, United Nations Univ Int Inst Global Hlth, Jalan Yaacob Latiff, Kuala Lumpur 56000, Malaysia.

Although it often requires more labor, has several advantages over monoculture, among them is that polycultures are generally are more productive, provide with productivity of various plant constituents and a more balanced human diet, contribute to economic return, economic and yield stability, social benefits and farmer's direct participation in decision-making. The objective of this study was to evaluate agroeconomic indices of polycultures derived from the combination of two cultivars of lettuce with two cultivars of rocket in two cultures strip-intercropped with carrot cultivar `Brasilia' through uni-multivariate approaches in semi-arid Brazil. The experimental design used was of randomized complete blocks with five replications and the treatments arranged in a factorial scheme of 2 x 2. The treatments consisted of the combination of two lettuce cultivars (Baba de Verao and Taina) with two rocket cultivars (Cultivada and Folha Larga) in two cultures associated with carrot cv. Brasilia. hi each block were grown plots with two lettuce cultivars and two rocket cultivars, and carrot in sole crop. In each system was determined the lettuce leaf yield, rocket green mass yield and carrot commercial yield. Agrieconomic indices such as operational cost, gross and net income, monetary advantage, rate of return, profit margin, land equivalent ratio and yield efficiency for DEA were used to measure the efficiency of intercropping systems. In the bicropping of lettuce and rocket associated with carrot cv. `Brasilia', suggests the use of lettuce cultivar `Taina' combined with rocket cultivars `Cultivada' or `Folha Larga'. It was observed significant effect of lettuce cultivars in the evaluation of polycultures of lettuce, carrot and rocket, with strong expression for the lettuce cultivar `Taina'. Both uni- and multivariate approaches were effective in the discrimination of the best polycultures. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

In order to decrease gender dysphoria and overcome discrimination, trans women affirm their gender through social and medical transition, often in contexts of economic hardship and sexual risk. This study qualitatively examined how gender-affirming behaviors enhance or diminish vulnerability to HIV in light of structural and economic barriers to gender transition. Methods We conducted individual interviews with 19 adult trans women in two U.S. cities (Richmond, VA and St. Louis, MO) who reported one or more sexual risk behaviors and recent economic hardship related to employment/income, housing, or food security. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic content analysis. Results The majority (74\%) of trans women were racial/ethnic minorities with mean age of 26.3 years. Gender-affirming behaviors varied with 58\% of trans women having legally changed their name and gender marker; 79\% having initiated hormone therapy; and 11\% having not initiated any medical or legal changes. None had undertaken surgical changes. Findings suggested that the process of gender transitioning resulted in both increasing and decreasing HIV risk. The high need for gender affirmation by male sex partners contributed to trans women's exposure to sexual objectification, sexual risk behaviors, and conflicting interests in HIV prevention messaging. Loss of housing and employment due to transition along with the high costs of transition products and medical visits increased reliance on sex work and created new obstacles in accessing HIV services. Trans women experienced lower HIV risk as they acquired legal and medical transition services, reshaped interactions with sex partners, and received gender-affirming support by others, including health providers, employers, peers, and housing professionals. Sexual abstinence was viewed as a negative consequence of incomplete transition, although characterized as a period of low HIV risk. Conclusions Structural and policy initiatives that promote safe gender transition and economic stability in trans women may play a critical role in reducing HIV in this population. Addressing the harmful pressures for U.S. trans women to conform to perceived feminine stereotypes may also serve an important role.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Mayo-Wilson, LJ (Corresponding Author), Indiana Univ, Ctr Sexual Hlth Promot, Dept Appl Hlth Sci, Sch Publ Hlth, 1025 E 7th St, Bloomington, IN 47405 USA.

That landlords could only be identified in south China was attributable to the sharply more active land rental market there, and the ``single-cut{''} policy of defining the landlords narrowly as a rentier class. We attribute the predominance of an active land rental market in south China to three socioeconomic characteristics: 1) a sharply higher inequality in land distribution, 2) an organization of agriculture whose efficiency required the ``unsupervised initiatives{''} of family labor, and 3) a distinctly higher proportion of ``absentee landlords{''}. Our hypothesis of land rentals being the only variable distinguishing the landlords from the rich peasants and only in south China is strongly supported by empirical evidence. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc.

To fill this gap, we used a mixed methods approach that combined survey data collected from a random sample of 224 CACFP-participating licensed family child care providers and in-depth qualitative interviews (n = 40 survey respondents). Working within a cost-benefit framework, we sampled from Chicago and small cities and towns in central Illinois in order to compare providers' perceptions of the benefits and burdens of CACFP participation by reimbursement level and urban/rural location. Reimbursement rate was related to providers' perceptions of the adequacy of the reimbursement and how difficult it was to purchase food that met program requirements. Location was related to providers' perceptions of how difficult it was to prepare meals that met program requirements. Practice or Policy: Our findings suggest modifications to reduce inequities in who has access to the higher reimbursement rate.

New combinations of compounds need to be predicted in order to design HAART cocktails. On the one hand, there are the biomolecular factors related to the drugs in the cocktail (experimental measure, chemical structure, drug target, assay organisms, etc.); on the other hand, there are the socioeconomic factors of the specific population (income inequalities, employment levels, fiscal pressure, education, migration, population structure, etc.) to study the relationship between the socioeconomic status and the disease. In this context, machine learning algorithms, able to seek models for problems with multi-source data, have to be used. In this work, the first artificial neural network (ANN) model is proposed for the prediction of HAART cocktails, to halt AIDS on epidemic networks of U.S. counties using information indices that codify both biomolecular and several socioeconomic factors. The data was obtained from at least three major sources. The first dataset included assays of anti-HIV chemical compounds released to ChEMBL. The second dataset is the AIDSVu database of Emory University. AIDSVu compiled AIDS prevalence for >2300 U.S. counties. The third data set included socioeconomic data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Three scales or levels were employed to group the counties according to the location or population structure codes: state, rural urban continuum code (RUCC) and urban influence code (UIC). An analysis of >130,000 pairs (network links) was performed, corresponding to AIDS prevalence in 2310 counties in U.S. vs. drug cocktails made up of combinations of ChEMBL results for 21,582 unique drugs, 9 viral or human protein targets, 4856 protocols, and 10 possible experimental measures. The best model found with the original data was a linear neural network (LNN) with AUROC > 0.80 and accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity approximate to 77\% in training and external validation series. The change of the spatial and population structure scale (State, UIC, or RUCC codes) does not affect the quality of the model. Unbalance was detected in all the models found comparing positive/negative cases and linear/non-linear model accuracy ratios. Using synthetic minority over-sampling technique (SMOTE), data pre-processing and machine-learning algorithms implemented into the WEKA software, more balanced models were found. In particular, a multilayer perceptron (MLP) with AUROCC 97.4\% and precision, recall, and F-measure >90\% was found. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

A purposive sample of 23 youth aged 15 to 24 years provided data through interviews, which we analyzed inductively, using thematic analysis.

These structures provided networks of supportive relationships and inclusive spaces, where young people felt a sense of belonging, and had opportunities for participation. Opportunities took the form of resources and activities that promoted personal growth and community building.

Through interviews and analyses of their lived experiences, it attempts to comprehend the complexity of their unemployment, from their encounter with the labor market, to their attempts in breaking into the workforce. It contextualizes the institutional disadvantages and discrimination befalling migrant women of non-English speaking background, as well as housework and mothering responsibilities they continue to resist at home. The complex interaction of the women's higher education, English language proficiency, their sense of purpose and other personal resources-all assisted in reframing their subordinated identity, and recapturing their careers. The women risked taking jobs lower than their qualifications, took further studies, went through rigorous accreditation, and acquired local experience, as stepping stones to regain their professions and subsequently their middle-class status. Their journey, however, is not without severe difficulties. By using agency and privilege, this monograph argues that the women epitomized the classical modernist ideology of the self within a capitalist system. They were aware of structural disadvantages and discriminatory practices, but they found ways of working within these limitations, which results to masking the hardships they endured. The study debunks the effectiveness of the notion that individual's capacity over the state ``to enterprise themselves{''} is a success strategy.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Limpangog, CP (Corresponding Author), RMIT Univ, Ctr Global Res, Melbourne, Vic, Australia.

The purpose of this work was to improve asthma-related health outcomes in an ethnically and geographically disparate population of economically disadvantaged school-aged children by using a team-based approach using continuous quality improvement and community health workers. PATIENTS AND METHODS. A demonstration project was conducted with 7 community clinics treating similar to 3000 children with asthma 5 to 18 years of age. The overall clinic population with asthma was assessed for care-process changes through random cross-sectional chart reviews at baseline and 24 months ( N = 560). A subset of patients with either moderate or severe persistent asthma or poorly controlled asthma ( N = 405) was followed longitudinally for specific asthma-related clinical outcomes, satisfaction with care, and confidence managing asthma by family interview at baseline and at 12 or 24 months. Patient-centered and care-process outcomes included patient/parent assessment of quality of care and confidence in self-management, asthma action plan review, and documentation of guideline-based indicators of quality of care. Direct clinical outcomes included daytime and nighttime symptoms, use of rescue medications, acute care and emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and missed school days. Each clinic site's degree of adherence to the intervention model was evaluated and ranked to examine the correlation between model adherence and outcomes. RESULTS. Cross-sectional data showed clinic-wide improvements in the documentation of asthma severity, review of action plans, health services use, and asthma symptoms. At follow-up in the longitudinal sample, fewer patients reported acute visits, emergency department visits, hospitalizations, frequent daytime and nighttime symptoms, and missed school days compared with baseline. More patients reported excellent or very good quality of care and confidence in asthma self-management. Linear regression analysis of the clinical sites' model adherence ranks against site-level combined scores estimating overall outcomes, clinical outcomes, and improvements in clinical care processes showed significant linear correlations with R-2 >= 0.60. CONCLUSIONS. The demonstration produced major improvements in asthma-related care processes and clinical outcomes. Closer adherence to the demonstration model was directly associated with better outcomes.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Adelson, JW (Corresponding Author), Univ Calif San Francisco, Inst Hlth \& Aging, Integrated Med \& Publ Hlth Program, Suite 340,3333 Calif St, San Francisco, CA 94118 USA.

In interviewing members of the clergy and women religious of the faith, this article examines how female non-ordained and male clerical religious leaders engage and influence social policy. It specifically addresses how women religious maneuver around the institutional constraints of the Church, in order to take action on social issues and effect change. In adding to the scholarship on this topic, I argue that part of the strategy of women religious in navigating barriers of the institutional Church is not only knowing when to act outside of the formal hierarchy, but realizing when it is in the benefit of their social policy objectives to collaborate with it. This maneuvering may not always safeguard women religious from institutional scrutiny, as seen by the 2012 Doctrinal Assessment of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, but instead captures the tension between female religious and the clergy. It also highlights how situations of institutional scrutiny can have positive implications for female religious leaders, their policy goals and congregations. Finally, this examination shows how even when women are appointed to leadership posts within the institutional Church, they can face limitations of acceptance and other constraints that are different from their female religious counterparts working within their own respective religious congregations or outside organizations.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Kraybill, JE (Corresponding Author), Calif State Univ Bakersfield, Dept Polit Sci, 9001 Stockade Hwy,BDCA 240, Bakersfield, CA 93311 USA.

However, task-sharing interventions for this purpose are rarely used at scale. The aim of this study was to examine the factors influencing the potential for scaling up (i.e. scalability) of a task-sharing psychological intervention called Problem Management Plus (PM+) for Syrian refugees in Jordan. Semi-structured individual (n = 17) and group interviews (n = 20) were conducted with stakeholders knowledgeable about PM+ and the mental health system for Syrian refugees in Jordan. Using `system innovation perspective', this study conceptualized the context as landscape developments, and systemic considerations were divided into culture (shared ways of thinking) and structure (ways of organizing). Political momentum was identified as a landscape trend likely facilitating scaling up, while predicted reductions in financial aid was regarded as a constraint. In terms of culture, the medicalized approach to mental health, stigma and gender were reported barriers for scaling up PM+. Using non-stigmatizing language and offering different modalities, childcare options and sessions outside of working hours were suggestions to reduce stigma, accommodate individual preferences and increase the demand for PM+. In relation to structure, the feasibility of scaling up PM+ largely depends on the ability to overcome legal barriers, limitations in human and financial resources and organizational challenges. We recommend sustainable funding to be made available for staff, training, supervision, infrastructure, coordination, expansion and evaluation of `actual' scaling up of PM+. Future research may examine the local feasibility of various funding, training and supervision models. Lessons learned from actual scaling up of PM+ and similar task-sharing approaches need to be widely shared.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Woodward, A (Corresponding Author), KIT Royal Trop Inst, KIT Hlth, Mauritskade 64, NL-1092 AD Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Ethnographic fieldwork in one rural location - the New South Wales Far North Coast - is drawn upon to highlight how creative industries are being cast as a potential way of promoting cultural activities and jobs for young people, and in turn, how they might be imagined as a means to mitigate youth out-migration. Yet, creative industries have contradictory employment and social outcomes. Creative industries are likely to generate higher rates of youth participation in economic activities than public data reveal. However, strategies for future job growth should also consider the limitations and instabilities of creative industry employment. Second, and more broadly, the paper discusses those socio-cultural dimensions of nascent creative industries that may have a more substantial impact when conceived as part of strategies to stem youth exodus from rural areas. Creative activities may contribute to rural development in indirect ways, especially if linked to policy goals of increased tolerance of youth activities, better provision of cultural services, and improved well-being for young people. While formal job-creation may be limited, creative industries could mitigate some of the impacts of youth migration to cities by enriching regional social life and mediating perceptions of the advantages and drawbacks of rural versus urban life. This kind of policy imagination requires a shift in attitudes towards young people and a more genuine commitment to encourage young people to feel that they belong in non-metropolitan areas.}, Type = {Article; Proceedings Paper}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Gibson, C (Corresponding Author), Univ Wollongong, Sch Earth \& Environm Sci, GeoQuest Res Ctr, Wollongong, NSW 2522, Australia.

The study was framed around conceptualizations of gendered organizations and highlighted how cultural and social practices impact men and women differently. Our study found there are still organization practices that have profound gendered effects. Our study shows that there are contemporary human resource (HR) practices of recruitment, selection, and advancement; perceptions of visibility and invisibility at work; motherhood and childcare responsibilities; and finally, discourses of the glass ceiling that constitute organization and societal barriers that limit women's career progression.

Evidence-based interventions exist to reduce many maternal behaviors and chronic conditions that are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes such as tobacco use, alcohol use, inadequate folic acid intake, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. The 2006 national recommendations to improve preconception health included monitoring improvements in preconception health by maximizing public health surveillance (CDC. Recommendations to improve preconception health and health care-United States: a report of the CDC/ATSDR Preconception Care Work Group and the Select Panel on Preconception Care. MMWR 2006; 55{[}No. RR-6]). Reporting Period Covered: 2009 for 38 indicators; 2008 for one indicator. Description of Surveillance Systems: The Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) is an ongoing state-and population-based surveillance system designed to monitor selected self-reported maternal behaviors, conditions, and experiences that occur shortly before, during, and after pregnancy among women who deliver live-born infants. The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is an ongoing state-based telephone survey of noninstitutionalized adults aged >= 18 years in the United States that collects state-level data on health-related risk behaviors, chronic conditions, and preventive health services. This surveillance summary includes PRAMS data from 29 reporting areas (n = 40,388 respondents) and BRFSS data from 51 reporting areas (n = 62,875 respondents) for nonpregnant women of reproductive age (aged 18-44 years). To establish a comprehensive, nationally recognized set of indicators to be used for monitoring, evaluation, and response, a volunteer group of policy and program leaders and epidemiologists identified 45 core state preconception health indicators, of which 41 rely on PRAMS or BRFSS as data sources. This report includes 39 of the 41 core state preconception health indicators for which data are available through PRAMS or BRFSS. The two indicators from these data sources that are not described in this report are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing within a year before the most recent pregnancy and heavy drinking on at least one occasion during the preceding month. Ten preconception health domains are examined: general health status and life satisfaction, social determinants of health, health care, reproductive health and family planning, tobacco and alcohol use, nutrition and physical activity, mental health, emotional and social support, chronic conditions, and infections. Weighted prevalence estimates and 95\% confidence intervals (95\% CIs) for 39 indicators are presented overall and for each reporting area and stratified by age group (18-24, 25-34, and 35-44 years) and women's race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, non-Hispanic other, and Hispanic). Results: This surveillance summary includes data for 39 of 41 indicators: 2009 data for 23 preconception health indicators that were monitored by PRAMS and 16 preconception health indicators that were monitored by BRFSS (one BRFSS indicator uses 2008 data). For two of the indicators that are included in this report (prepregnancy overweight or obesity and current overweight or obesity), separate measures of overweight and obesity were reported. All preconception health indicators varied by reporting area, and most indicators varied significantly by age group and race/ethnicity. Overall, 88.9\% of women of reproductive age reported good, very good, or excellent general health status and life satisfaction (BRFSS). A high school/general equivalency diploma or higher education (social determinants of health domain) was reported by 94.7\% of non-Hispanic white, 92.9\% of non-Hispanic other, 91.1\% of non-Hispanic black, and 70.9\% of Hispanic women (BRFSS). Overall, health-care insurance coverage during the month before the most recent pregnancy (health-care domain) was 74.9\% (PRAMS). A routine checkup during the preceding year was reported by 79.0\% of non-Hispanic black, 65.1\% of non-Hispanic white, 64.3\% of other, and 63.0\% of Hispanic women (BRFSS). Among women with a recent live birth (2-9 months since date of delivery), selected PRAMS results for the reproductive health and family planning, tobacco and alcohol use, and nutrition domains included several factors. Although 43\% of women reported that their most recent pregnancy was unintended (unwanted or wanted to be pregnant later), approximately half (53\%) of those who were not trying to get pregnant reported not using contraception at the time of conception. Smoking during the 3 months before pregnancy was reported by 25.1\% of women, and drinking alcohol 3 months before pregnancy was reported by 54.2\% of women. Daily use of a multivitamin, prenatal vitamin, or a folic acid supplement during the month before pregnancy was reported by 29.7\% of women. Selected BRFSS results included indicators pertaining to the nutrition and physical activity, emotional and social support, and chronic conditions domains among women of reproductive age. Approximately one fourth (24.7\%) of women were identified as being obese according to body mass index (BMI) on the basis of self-reported height and weight. Overall, 51.6\% of women reported participation in recommended levels of physical activity per U. S. Department of Health and Human Services physical activity guidelines. Non-Hispanic whites reported the highest prevalence (85.0\%) of having adequate emotional and social support, followed by other races/ethnicities (74.9\%), Hispanics (70.5\%), and non-Hispanic blacks (69.7\%). Approximately 3.0\% of persons reported ever being diagnosed with diabetes, and 10.2\% of women reported ever being diagnosed with hypertension. Interpretation: The findings in this report underscore opportunities for improving the preconception health of U. S. women. Preconception health and women's health can be improved by reducing unintended pregnancies, reducing risky behaviors (e. g., smoking and drinking) among women of reproductive age, and ensuring that chronic conditions are under control. Evidence-based interventions and clinical practice guidelines exist to address these risks and to improve pregnancy outcomes and women's health in general. The results also highlight the need to increase access to health care for all nonpregnant women of reproductive age and the need to encourage the use of essential preventive services for women, including preconception health services. In addition, system changes in community settings can alleviate health problems resulting from inadequate social and emotional support and environments that foster unhealthy lifestyles. Policy changes can promote health equity by encouraging environments that promote healthier options in nutrition and physical activity. Finally, variation in the preconception health status of women by age and race/ethnicity underscores the need for implementing and scaling up proven strategies to reduce persistent health disparities among those at highest risk. Ongoing surveillance and research in preconception health are needed to monitor the influence of improved health-care access and coverage on women's prepregnancy and interpregnancy health status, pregnancy and infant outcomes, and health disparities. Public Health Action: Public health decision makers, program planners, researchers, and other key stakeholders can use the state-level PRAMS and BRFSS preconception health indicators to benchmark and monitor preconception health among women of reproductive age. These data also can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of preconception health state and national programs and to assess the need for new programs, program enhancements, and policies.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Robbins, CL (Corresponding Author), CDC, Div Reprod Hlth, Natl Ctr Chron Dis Prevent \& Hlth Promot, Atlanta, GA 30333 USA.

An intersectional and social ecological perspective provides an important framework and highlights the multiple intersecting barriers of IPV and employment ranging from mental health concerns such as trauma, anxiety and depression to lack of shelter and childcare, limited access to employment services, and other forms of discrimination. This article responds to this gap in research and provides findings from a constructivist grounded theory study of 16 employment-seeking survivors of IPV. To theorize and understand IPV and employment utilizing an intersectional and social ecological framework, the following research question were addressed: (a) What are the contextual barriers or facilitators that shape the employment-seeking process of survivors of IPV? (b) How do the experiences of discrimination shape the employment-seeking experience of survivors of IPV? (c) What employment services were helpful or unhelpful during the employment-seeking process? Two main themes emerged from analysis: (a) Multilevel barriers to employment and (b) Employment barriers/facilitators to employment-seeking. Findings indicate that survivors of IPV face multiple barriers to employment at the intrapersonal (e.g., depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem), interpersonal (e.g., ties to an abusive partner, responsibilities related to childcare), community (lack of social support, few employment opportunities, poverty), and structural/institutionalized levels (e.g., racism, sexism, transphobia).

The present study investigates the association between obesity and disability with perceived employment discrimination within Australia. Methods: A total of 17,174 person-year observations from the 11,079 respondents were analysed using four waves of data from the Household, Income, and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey. The primary outcome examined was employment discrimination, using obesity and disability as the main exposure variables. The longitudinal random-effects regression technique was applied to investigate the between-person differences in employment discrimination associated with obesity and disability. Results: The findings suggest that more than one in ten (12.68 \%) Australians experienced employment discrimination. The odds of being discriminated against while applying for a job were 1.56 times (aOR: 1.56, 95 \% CI: 1.15-2.11) higher for obese than their healthy weight counterparts in youngest women. Adults with a disability had 1.89 times (aOR: 1.89, 95 \% CI: 1.65-2.17) higher odds of being discriminated against than peers without disability. Conclusion: The results provide evidence that obesity and disability contribute to employment discrimination in Australia. The findings can assist government and related agencies to consider the adequacy of existing discrimination legislation and help organisations to develop appropriate policies to address discrimination against obese and disabled people in their workplaces.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Keramat, SA (Corresponding Author), Univ Southern Queensland, Sch Business, Toowoomba, Qld 4350, Australia.

Understanding why some fathers do not meet their formal support obligations is important for the well-being of children in single-parent families. Research about noncustodial fathers' compliance with formal support obligations has focused predominantly on quantitative analyses of individual, family, and structural factors affecting compliance, with a more limited body of qualitative work exploring noncustodial father perspectives. Generally missing are the perspectives of staff who work with noncustodial parents on overcoming compliance barriers. Staff provide unique and useful insights, given their vantage point from within systems and across fathers. However, staff perspectives alone are inadequate for understanding the full context of noncustodial parent experiences, as noncustodial parents possess a unique view into the child support system as customers. This article contributes to the evidence base on barriers to compliance with formal child support obligations by the sharing perspectives of staff who work with noncustodial fathers struggling to find work and pay child support on overcoming these barriers, and comparing their perspectives to those of noncustodial fathers. Data were gathered through interviews and surveys with child support, employment, and parenting staff conducted for the Child Support Noncustodial Parent Employment Demonstration, and are compared to perspectives of fathers gathered through focus groups for the same evaluation (Vogel, 2020). Results indicate five types of practical, system-based, and experiential factors contributing to noncompliance: (1) an array of barriers to employment; (2) insufficient income to meet obligations; (3) child support system-initiated barriers; (4) resistance to paying support without visitation access; and (5) prior interactions with the child support system. Findings suggest a number of policy changes that could help facilitate compliance among struggling noncustodial fathers, including: access to services to address practical barriers to work; system-level health care, child care, public infrastructure, and criminal justice reforms; administrative and statutory changes within child support to help address high burden orders, enforcement actions that impede employment, and state-owed arrearages; and providing pathways to visitation when safe and appropriate.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Vogel, LK (Corresponding Author), Univ Wisconsin, Inst Res Poverty, 1180 Observ Dr, Madison, WI 53706 USA.

While epidemiological surveys worldwide have found a considerable proportion of people using mental health services not to have a diagnosis of a mental disorder, with possible implications of service overuse, other work has suggested that most people without a current diagnosis who used services exhibited other indicators of need. The aims of the present study were, using somewhat different categorisations than previous work, to investigate whether: (1) Australians without a diagnosis of a mental disorder who used mental health services had other indicators of need; and (2) how rate and frequency of service use in Australia related to level of need, then to discuss the findings in light of recent developments in Australian Mental Health Policy and other epidemiological and services research findings. Methods. Data from the Australian National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing (NSMHWB) 2007 was analysed. Results. Most people using mental health services had evident indicators of need for mental health care (MHC), and most of those with lower evident levels of need did not make heavy use of services. Only a small proportion of individuals without any disorders or need indicators received MHC (4\%). Although this latter group comprises a fair proportion of service users when extrapolating to the Australian population (16\%), the vast majority of these individuals only sought brief primary-care or counselling treatment rather than consultations with psychiatrists. Access and frequency of MHC consultations were highest for people with diagnosed lifetime disorders, followed by people with no diagnosed disorders but other need indicators, and least for people with no identified need indicators. Limitations include some disorders not assessed in interview and constraints based on survey size to investigate subgroups defined, for instance, by socioeconomic advantage and disadvantage individually or by characteristics of area. Conclusions. MHC for individuals with no recognised disorders or other reasonable need for such care may be occurring but if so is likely to be an area-specific phenomenon. Rather than revealing a large national pool of treatment resources being expended on the so-called worried well', the findings suggested a generally appropriate dose-response relationship between need indicators and service use. Definitive ascertainment of area-specific disparities in this national pattern would require a different survey approach. Government proposals for widespread introduction of stepped-care models that may seek to divert patients from existing treatment pathways need to be implemented with care and well informed by local data.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Meadows, G (Corresponding Author), Monash Univ, Nursing \& Hlth Sci, Fac Med, Dept Psychiat,Southern Clin Sch, Melbourne, Vic, Australia.

Many of the jobs affected are those typically done by women. Yet much discussion about the future of work in public transport is gender blind, or considers women primarily as users of public transport. This paper draws on original research commissioned by the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) to address this gap, based on five cities that have introduced changes to public transport with significant implications for women's employment - Bangkok, Bogota, Cape Town, Mexico City and Nairobi. It was a qualitative study involving 164 interviews in five cities, primarily with women transport workers but also union representatives, community organisations, policy makers and employers. It finds both opportunities from and risks to women's employment, including the chance to move from informal work to new formal employment, as well as job loss from integrated fare payment systems. It considers the possibility of breaking down traditional patterns of occupational gender segregation in public transport when new systems or technologies are introduced. However in order for women to move into traditionally male jobs such as driving in greater numbers, several barriers must be addressed, such as gender stereotyping, violence at work and working hours and shift patterns. The paper offers some suggestions for how unions, employers, transport authorities and funders can address such barriers.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Wright, T (Corresponding Author), Queen Mary Univ London, Mile End Rd, London E1 4NS, England.

We present a model in which parents make schooling decisions for their children, weighing the utility benefit of having a child with formal public or private education versus the forgone income from child labor or household work. Parents vote over the preferred tax rate to finance freely provided public education. The utility benefit of an educated child is proportional to expenditure per student, so that there is congestion in public school. We find that when parents can send their children to work or to private school, high inequality leads to exit from public education at both ends of the income distribution. Thus high inequality reduces the support for public education, leading to a low tax rate and expenditure per student. Exit from public education results in both high child labor and a large fraction of students attending private school. In fact there is a threshold level of inequality above which there is no longer support for public education. In addition we explore the implications for the design of foreign aid. The results suggest that foreign aid policies should focus on promoting school attendance rather than increasing school resources, as the later policy might be offset by a reduction in the recipient country's fiscal effort, with little impact on outcomes.}, Type = {Article; Proceedings Paper}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Gutiérrez, C (Corresponding Author), World Bank, 1818 H St NW,Mail Stop MC4-415, Washington, DC 20433 USA.

Drawing on qualitative and quantitative research conducted between 2005 and 2009, we explore how gender regimes change as people move across borders and how this affects political and civic participation. Although the gendered patterns of participation partly reflect research elsewhere, in terms of men's stronger involvement in formal and transnational activities and women's greater participation in informal politics and immigrant politics, some important differences emerged. Not only do formal and informal activities overlap, but class position and life-course stage as well as immigration status affect these processes. Although middle-class women were able to take advantage of opportunities for formal political participation in London and transnationally, working-class women gained the most from changing gender regimes, exercising increased control over their lives through their disproportionate participation with migrant-community organisations. In both cases, however, women's political engagement was easier when demands on their traditional roles, as mothers in particular, were lessened later in the life course. Working-class men emerged as the least active politically and civically, and this was related to working patterns, feelings of disempowerment and a desire to return home. Conceptually, we further challenge an unreconstructed political opportunities structure perspective for explaining migrants' political mobilisation by arguing for the need to include not only a gendered approach but also one that explicitly integrates intersectionality into any analysis. For Colombian migrants in London, although political and civic participation is far from uniform, there is evidence that engagement in such activities is important in the lives of many migrants, and especially for working-class women who appear to have been the most active in challenging hegernonic gender regimes.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {McIlwaine, C (Corresponding Author), Univ London, Sch Geog, Mile End Rd, London E1 4NS, England.

Design/methodology/approach - Featured are narratives of 36 midlife-aged, middle-class African-American, Asian-American, and Hispanic women who have built careers in mediated message industries. Feminism and Foucauldianism provide theoretical underpinning. Findings - The findings illuminate how midlife-aged women of color paradoxically resist and accept master narratives of ``less than{''} in striving to change organizations and achieve their maximum potential. Organizational glass ceilings remain impenetrable, but women of color are optimistic that benefits of diverse upper-level managements ultimately will be embraced. Moreover, overlapping public and private spheres continue to further complicate career advancement. Research limitations/implications - Method-inherent limitations include recognizing that narratives are not generalizable but serve as a point of departure for future study. Implications for theory building are offered, as well as ongoing research suggestions such as probing intra-group differences and expanding dialog to include other unique identity groups. Social implications - Of key import for public policy decision making are research participants' voices how, as beneficiaries of socio-political movements and legislation spanning nearly five decades, they still seek to negotiate organizational hierarchies and balance public and private work spheres. Originality/value - Heretofore, little scholarly attention has focused on midlife-aged women of color and glass ceiling barriers in conjunction with monitoring organizational change.

This study also outlines how Saudi Government has formulated several policies and reforms to empower women in the workplace, especially gender equality. Also, this study will discourse a clear idea on numerous measures initiated by Saudi Government on how to empower Saudi women in the labor force and what would be the impact of women empowerment and gender equality on Saudi economy. Design/methodology/approach The research methodology has undertaken the Saudi feminization approach that emphasizes solely on uplifting women empowerment within the context of social changes that are arising in Saudi Arabia. The data analyzed comes from the primary data statistics report that depicts 10 years of data from general authority for statistics (GaStat) for the period ranging from 2010-2016 (Q2) and 2016 -2020 along with global gender gap index (GGGI) for the period of 2006, 2017 and 2020. Additionally, data was considered from the latest articles, Saudi news, statistics revealed by ``Pew Research Center,{''} international labor organization (ILO, 2020), which depicts the involvement of Saudi women at international level. Findings The data were analyzed from GaStat for the period ranging from 2010-2016 (Q2) and 2016-2020 along with GGGI for the period of 2006, 2017 and 2020 that has shown drastic changes in inspiring Saudi women empowerment pertaining to the labor market, the educational field, economic participation and gender equality. The most interesting point was that the total Saudi employed persons, especially males are double of females' ratio. It depicts that until Q3 and Q4, 2018 females were still facing unemployment phase and their economic participation was less in comparison with male Saudis. However, there found to have a new paradigm shift; rising of Saudi women in various sectors in the year 2019 where unemployment decreased to 5.7\%, labor force participation at 58.8\%. Social implications Saudi Arabia is stringing very hard to develop its economy over the next decade and beyond and have strong-minded to strengthen the contribution of women to development of society and economy. Currently, Saudi women have found ample job opportunities welcoming them in various sectors. Furthermore, they can work in numerous professions and fields that were formerly limited to men. According to Leyal Khalife (2019, July 1) and the statistics released by ``Pew Research Center,{''} Saudi Arabia has experienced the highest growth rate - among G20 countries -of women joining the workforce in the past 20 years. The data revealed that women accounted for 23\% of Saudi's workforce in 2018 - a rise of 7\% increase since 2018. Finally, today Saudi Arabia has shown the highest growth rate among G20 states, including Australia, Germany, Brazil and others. Originality/value The latest reforms emphasizes on minimizing the gender gap and inspire young girls to build a career path. This procedure specifies that Saudi female should formulate their tactics and approaches to encounter gender disparity and attain social fairness and equality not specific to education only but consider all the matters of life pertaining to context of male-dominating societies.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Parveen, M (Corresponding Author), King Abdulaziz Univ, Dept Human Resource Management, Fac Econ \& Adm, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Using Acker's theory of gendered organisations, this study strives to gain a better understanding from a macro and micro approach, how family and work-related policies, especially family-friendly measures (FFMs), and their uptake, contribute and maintain the GPG in Malta and specifically within the Financial and Insurance sector.Design/methodology/approachTwo research instruments were used. National policy documents were analysed through the gender lens, followed by structured interviews with HR managerial participants within this sector.FindingsFindings suggest that at a macro level, family and work-related policies could be divided into two broad categories: A set of family-friendly policies that contribute to the GPG because of their gendered nature, or because the uptake is mostly taken by women. These include make-work pay policies, which initially appear to be gender neutral, but which attracted lower educated inactive women to the Maltese labour market at low pay, contributing to an increase in the GPG. Second, a set of policies that take on a gender-neutral approach and help reduce the GPG. These include policies like the free childcare and after school care scheme that allow mothers to have a better adherence to the labour market. At the micro level within organisations, pay discrepancies between women and men were largely negated and awareness about the issue was low. Here, ``ideal worker{''} values based on masculine norms seemed to lead to covert biases towards mothers who shoulder heavier care responsibilities in the families and make a bigger use of FFMs. Because men are better able to conform to these gendered values and norms, the GPG persists through vertical segregation and glass ceilings, among others.Research limitations/implicationsSince not all the companies in the Eurostat NACE code list participated in this research, results could not be generalised but were indicative to future large-scale studies..Practical implicationsAt the macro and policy level, some FFMs take on a clear gendered approach. For example, the disparity in length between maternity (18 weeks) and paternity leave (1 day) reinforces gender roles and stereotypes, which contribute to the GPG in the long run. While some FFMs like parental leave, career breaks, urgent family leave, telework, flexible and reduced hours seem to take on a more gender-neutral approach, the uptake of FFMs (except childcare) seems to generate discriminatory behaviour that may affect the GPG. When considering the make-work pay policies such as the ``in-work benefit{''} and the ``tapering of benefits{''}, this study showed that these policies attracted lower educated and low-skilled women into the labour market, which in turn may have further contributed to the increasing GPGs. On the other hand, the childcare and after school policies relieve working mothers from caregiving duties, minimising career interruptions, discriminatory behaviour and overall GPGs.Social implicationsThis study confirmed that organisations within the Financial and Insurance sector are gendered and give value to full-time commitment and long working hours, especially in managerial roles. Managerial positions remain associated with men because mothers tend to make more use of FFMs such as parental leave, reduced, flexible hours and teleworking. Mothers are indirectly penalised for doing so, because in gendered organisations, the uptake of FFMs conflict with the demands of work and ideal worker values (Acker, 1990). This maintains the vertical segregation and widens the GPG within the Financial and Insurance sector.Originality/valueBy using the gender lens and taking a wider and more holistic approach from the macro and micro level, this study highlights how interlinking factors lead to and sustain the GPG in the Financial and Insurance sector in Malta.}, Type = {Article; Early Access}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Thake, AM (Corresponding Author), Univ Malta, Dept Publ Policy, Msida, Malta.

Despite the importance of income maintenance for health and health inequalities, this change has been largely ignored within public health circles. After outlining these reforms and providing a historical policy context, this article utilises welfare reform theory and empirical literature to argue that these changes represent a broader international transformation from welfare to workfare states, the re-emergence of labour discipline, and a political shift in how people suffering from ill health are categorised as disabled or not and perceived as `deserving' or `undeserving' of state support.

Because itching often accompanies asteatosis, this condition may cause a decrease in quality of life. Care staff in elderly care facilities have many opportunities to provide care for residents. In this study, we examined how educational training on skin care changed the thoughts and actions of care staff in these facilities and how these changes impacted the skin conditions of residents. The subjects for the training were all care staff in facilities because these staff work most closely with facility residents. We performed skin care training for the subjects and investigated changes in the skin conditions of the residents before and after the training. The training promoted the understanding of skin care among the care staff and improved the skin symptoms of residents with asteatosis. However, there were no changes in the severity of itchiness based on a verbal rating scale and in interviews of residents. This study showed that skin care training for the care staff in facilities is effective to improve skin conditions of residents. In addition, it was suggested that a full grasp of the residents' skin symptoms based upon an interview on itching alone was difficult, and thus there is a need to observe skin conditions directly.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Tsunemi, Y (Corresponding Author), Saitama Med Univ, Dept Dermatol, 38 Morohongo,Moroyama Machi, Saitama 3500495, Japan.

Electronic mentoring (e-mentoring) offers a promising opportunity for youths with disabilities and has the potential to improve their inclusion while enhancing career outcomes. However, little is known about the role of mentors in a Web based e-mentoring format to improve employment outcomes. Objective: This study aimed to explore the role of mentors in engaging youths in an e-mentoring intervention and to compare and contrast mentors' engagement strategies within a 12- and 4-week format. Methods: This paper drew on a pilot feasibility study, which is a group, Web-based employment readiness intervention involving a discussion forum for youths with physical disabilities. Our intervention involved having trained youth mentors (ie, near-peers who also had a disability) lead Web-based discussion forums while offering peer support and resources, which involved 12 modules completed over both a 12- or 4-week format. We used a mixed method approach including qualitative data (mentor interviews and discussion forum data) and quantitative data (pre-post survey data) comparison. Results: A total of 24 youths participated across 3 e-mentoring intervention groups: 9 in the 12-week format (mean age 17.7 years {[}SD 1.7]) and 15 in the 4-week format (mean age 19.5 years {[}SD 2.6]), led by 3 trained youth mentors with disabilities, 2 males and 1 female (mean age 22 years {[}SD 2.64]). Our findings revealed that mentors engaged youths in the e-mentoring program by providing informational, emotional, and tangible support. We noted more instances of mentors providing advice, empathy, and encouragement in the 12-week format compared with the 4-week format. We also found fewer examples of providing advice, developing a rapport, and social support from mentors in the 4-week format. Our findings revealed no significant differences between the 2 groups regarding time spent in the forum, number of logins, number of posts, and self-rated engagement. Conclusions: Mentors in the 12-week and 4-week format engaged participants differently in providing informational and emotional support, although there were no differences in tangible support provided. Mentors reported that the 12-week format was too long and lacked interaction between participants, whereas the 4-week format felt rushed and had fewer detailed responses from mentees.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Lindsay, S (Corresponding Author), Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabil Hosp, Bloorview Res Inst, 150 Kilgour Rd, Toronto, ON M4G 1R8, Canada.

However, between the 18th and the 19th centuries some girl schools appeared in the region; they gave girls not only general education, but also a governess or elementary teacher profession. The aim of the article is to determine the specificity of the gender evolution of the teaching profession in Germany that started in the beginning of the 19th century and significantly lagged behind in comparison with other developed countries. By analyzing various sources (like statistical reports, legislative acts of single German lands reflecting the organization of education in the 19th and 20th centuries, scientific studies, periodical press, memoirs and some fiction), the author sought to identify the leading factors and reasons which pushed girls to the teaching profession, to characterize the social status of German female teachers during the two centuries, to determine the dynamics of educational policy transformations caused by a complex set of conditions and contradictions in the German society. The basis of the study of teacher's work feminization was a sociocultural approach to present the process as a German educational phenomenon. The statistical method allowed to analyze quantitative data on the progressive increase of female teachers and staff transformations during some periods of political and economic changes. With the help of the system-functional method, the content of measures taken by the regional authorities in different periods to promote or counter the feminization of the teaching profession was studied. General scientific methods of analysis, comparison and generalization allowed to make scientific conclusions on the topic. As a result, it was determined that the gender image of the German teacher began to change from the beginning of the 19th century: more and more women appeared in the teaching profession, both nuns and laywomen. Women chose to become teachers under pressure from financial circumstances and public opinion, according to which educational work was considered as the only acceptable one for unmarried women from bourgeois families in conformity with the traditional understanding of women's social role. It is revealed that feminization of the teaching profession also caused development of vocational education for women. The study proves that such opportunities were created by the specifics of the economic and political situation in the country in separate periods of the 18th and 19th centuries. During two world wars and economic crises, women were dislodging men in the labor market, but the authorities opposed these processes for a long time and legislatively prevented the popularization of the teacher's profession for women. Poor financial situation of unmarried women, however, forced them to accept restrictive measures, and the number of female teachers was slowly increasing. Gender professional discrimination persisted until the 1950s both in the hiring of female teachers and in the organization of teacher education; and the study proved that it objectively could not be overcome earlier.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Russian}, Affiliation = {Danilova, LN (Corresponding Author), Yaroslavl State Pedag Univ, Yaroslavl, Russia.

This paper aims to examine whether a company's intellectual capital (human capital, relational capital and structural capital) can serve as a quality signal in the financing of health care startups with new business models. Design/methodology/approach The study constructed a manual database using several paid and unpaid databases. This paper collected random data from 204 startups that obtained funding during the 2014-2017 period and used signaling theory to examine the factors that impact access to external financing for Indian health care technology startups. Findings This paper found that venture capitalists partly base their financing decisions on the relational capital of the startup represented by startups' age and the average number of website visits, the presence of a syndicate of investors. Human capital variables and structural variables do not show much significant impact. This paper also find some business models show a negative impact on financing implying that investors are reluctant to invest in new technologies that carry more uncertainty and take a longer time to become profitable. Research limitations/implications Before concluding this paper, it is important to acknowledge the limitations of the study and some implications for future research purposes. First, the study is conducted on only 204 startups from India, and as such, it suffers from a small sample size, like many other comparable survey-based studies in entrepreneurship. Second, the results are obtained with respect to data collected from Indian startups and represent the Indian context which limits the generalization on a global level. Practical implications The results suggest that years of experience and prior relevant experience, do not actually impact the financing of a new venture. These results are crucial as India has a unique demographic advantage over other countries in relation to age. If young minds are adequately nurtured, this can result in innovation, entrepreneurship and job creation (which still remains as a foremost challenge for India). Social implications From a policy perspective, a number of implications emerge from the current study. There is a need for ameliorating the capacity of the education system in providing top-quality support including a greater focus on entrepreneurship courses and to replicate the education delivery model from top foreign institutes. The government should take this opportunity to revive the system of education and follow the methodology of elite institutes and to develop entrepreneurship spirit in other colleges and schools. Originality/value Financing the investments of young startups with new business models in knowledge-based sectors may be more difficult. In this paper, this paper demonstrates that startups have to effectively use and manage their intellectual assets to achieve sustainable competitive advantage.

The legal field of the category based on the economic approach is defined by the concept of ``the poor and socially unprotected categories of citizens{''}. With the help of the analysis of theoretical and methodological aspects of this issue, the authors show that these criteria are a necessary but not sufficient condition for classifying the population as being socially vulnerable. Foreign literature associates the phenomenon of vulnerability with the concept of risks, with the possibility of households responding to them and with the likelihood of losing the well-being (poverty theory; research areas related to the means of subsistence, etc.). The asset-based approaches relate vulnerability to the poverty that arises due to lack of access to tangible and intangible assets. Sociological theories presented by the concept of social exclusion pay much attention to the breakdown of social ties as a source of vulnerability. The essence of social exclusion consists in the inability of people to participate in important aspects of social life (in politics, labor markets, education and healthcare, cultural life, etc.) though they have all the rights to do so. The difference between the concepts of exclusion and poverty is manifested in the displacement of emphasis from income inequality to limited access to rights. Social exclusion is characterized by the situation and state of exception that is linked to social status and self-perception of human rights and expressed through the senses of inferiority, anger, fear, despair, depression, shame. The status of social exclusion has many criteria: poverty, limited opportunities for employment and education, lack of access to social and community networks and activities, inability to plan one's own life. The explanatory concept of social exclusion is based on the construction of the attitude toward socially vulnerable layers as the devalued social status. The barrier of social inclusion consists in the formation of a negative image of a representative of this category of the population in the eyes of more secure population groups; and the reason for this phenomenon lies in individual characteristics of an individual: lack of purpose, apathy, laziness, low motivation to labor and training, and bad habits. The prevailing social stereotype contributes to the stratification of entire families, including children, who are in advance deprived of the most important economic, political and cultural resources of society, and have no opportunities for the upward mobility. If no measures are taken to overcome social exclusion, it can lead to the fact that part of the population will fall out of social development and slip into a state of stagnation and complete social dependence. The concept of social inclusion shifts the priorities of state social policy from the allocation of social transfers to actively changing the mindset in society.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Russian}, Affiliation = {Shabunova, AA (Corresponding Author), Russian Acad Sci, Inst Socioecon Dev Terr, 56A,Gorky St, Vologda 160014, Russia.

With its demographic advantage of a growing number of young people, higher education has witnessed a consistent rise due to increase of access for learning opportunity in the recent years. The country currently stands at a developmental crossroads, as it is confronted with the need to balance the goal of becoming globally competitive and at the same time achieving the inclusive growth. In spite of remarkable growth in the recent past, a growing body of evidence also points to serious concerns, which include growing incidences of youth unemployment and quality of education \& training related issues that require urgent action to help the India to sustain its progress and make significant achievements. With the phenomenal explosion of knowledge and application of information-cum-communication technologies (ICT) have accelerated the structured access to data and information. ICT has brought about dramatic changes in the world of work. New developments in information technologies have opened-up fresh prospective in teaching and learning. While formal education and training continues to be necessary, planned interventions through ICT based professional development will have also to be infused to advance the knowledge, skills and attitudes among learners as well as practicing teachers. Teacher Educators will be the central forces in utilizing and applying the new learning opportunities created by ICT. The continuous professional development of Teacher Educator is pivotal in deciding, how teaching-learning should take place in the present-day education system. ICTs will have to be harnessed, as its integration offers unique opportunity to increase the avenues for continuous professional development for practicing teacher educators. Thereby the quality of education, effectiveness and efficiency of delivery will improve to diverse learner groups and communities. The present groundbreaking initiative is in response to the strong need identified for empowering academic staff to master the art of teaching by using technology and modern learning techniques, thus elevating the quality of education in the institutions. An attempt is made to share and discuss the progressive learning experiences of employing ICT for professional development of next generation teacher educators of the Western Region in India. The paper presents a design framework of using exclusively developed Amrita Virtual Interactive Elearning World (A-VIEW) platform along with Modular Object Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (MOODLE) learning management system for offering the professional development programs specifically designed for technical educators and professionals. The programs aimed at capacity building of academic staff, administrators for transforming the educational culture \& teaching -learning system within the institute by creating a sustained and holistic impact. This endeavor envisaged the trained Teacher Educators to act as a change agent. This means we can respond to the diverse needs of learners to prepare them for gainful employment and sustainable livelihoods. It also shares the specific challenges come across, while implementing the new initiative in the region. The program evaluation indicates encouraging feedback \& positive change as retorting by all the beneficiaries. Finally, it will provide reflections on the role of ICT in the near future.}, Type = {Proceedings Paper}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Khambayat, R (Corresponding Author), Natl Inst Tech Teachers Training \& Res, Dept Educ \& Res, Bhopal, India.

Traditional municipal services are not successful at reaching Turkish seniors. Compared to native Germans Turkish seniors have a lower social participation. Objective. Do native language groups hosted by aGerman organization promote the social participation of Turkish seniors? How does social participation take place in the ZWAR networks (between work and retirement; aproject to strengthen social participation of seniors) and which factors promote or reduce social participation? Material and methods. Qualitative structuring content analysis of two group discussions, which were based on guided interviews. Results. The social participation of Turkish-speaking seniors was strengthened on three levels: (1)through regular meetings of the Turkish ethnic group social relationships were promoted and German language skills and other skills were improved. Through mutual sharing and understanding of the stressors specific to migration, emotional support was provided. The sharing of mutual cultural and linguistic backgrounds created asense of community and meetings were perceived as an antidote to migrants' exhausting lives in German society. (2)At the organizational level, participation was promoted through extensive group events. Regardless of their cultural background all participants identified as equal ZWAR members. The ZWAR project functioned as an umbrella organization for participation in the intercultural context. (3)Participation in community events created contacts with community stakeholders and fostered volunteer work. Hence, participants were able to use their skills, and therefore broaden their horizons. Conclusion. Turkish ZWAR networks promoted the social participation of members because integration with their ethnic group reduced access barriers, broadened members' scopes of action, and created new opportunities for participation.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {German}, Affiliation = {Fietz, J (Corresponding Author), Tech Univ Dortmund, Fak Erziehungs Wissensch Psychol \& Soziol 12, Emil Figge Str 50, D-44227 Dortmund, Germany.

Local studies showed that hospital pharmacy is the most preferred sector, while community pharmacy is the least preferred. However, jobs in hospital pharmacy are limited compared to community pharmacy. Hence, to accommodate the increasing numbers of pharmacy graduates and to facilitate the implementation of Saudi Vision 2030, which promotes primary healthcare and the participation of both private and non-governmental organisations in healthcare delivery, community pharmacy ought to be Saudised. This study was conducted to assess the career choices made by Saudi pharmacy students and the enablers that influence their career choice, especially in community pharmacy. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional approach was used. A total of 437 final year pharmacy students were recruited from 15 pharmacy schools around the country. Results: Salary and advancement opportunities as well as geographical location, benefits, and work environment were found to be ``very important{''} enablers when making career decisions. Hospital pharmacy was selected as the most preferred sector by 242 (55.4\%) of the participants, while community pharmacy was the least favoured pharmacy sector (17\% or 6.2\%). The enablers that might influence the consideration of a job in community pharmacy included career aspiration and social accountability. On the other hand, the barriers were personal beliefs about the sector and the nature of the work. Conclusions: The community pharmacy sector was found to be the least preferred sector to work in. The study revealed a list of enablers that the participants found to be relevant or of high relevance when choosing community pharmacy as a career pathway. Some of the enablers contribute to the role of the pharmacist towards the local community, social accountability, and towards the country's Vision, such as interaction with the general public and educating them. Other enablers are related to the pharmacists' career aspirations, such as owning a business. Some of the barriers that were found relevant include high workload, inflexible working hours, and limited opportunities for professional development. Localisation of community pharmacies would help to create more jobs for national pharmacists, increase the participation of female pharmacists in the workforce and support the achievement of Vision 2030. The barriers should be tackled on several levels: undergraduate curriculum, regulatory, and actual practice. Undergraduate education needs to include primary pharmaceutical care services in its curriculum. Regulatory changes include enforcing the renationalisation of the community pharmacy sector and permitting females to work in community pharmacies without location restrictions.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Almaghaslah, D (Corresponding Author), King Khalid Univ, Dept Clin Pharm, Abha 61421, Saudi Arabia.

An insufficient number of jobs in rural areas is usually associated with the shortage of capital, companies, consumers and skilled workers, i.e. limited impact of the agglomeration effect. Additionally, in regions with structural changes in agriculture, the phenomenon of increased or hidden unemployment is visible. One of the important objectives of labour market policy in Poland was a promotion of employment, especially in peripheral, poor and agricultural territories. Along with the accession of Poland to the EU, both agricultural and cohesion policy instruments supported by the structural funds have also been aimed at resolving the problems of rural labour markets. They concerned mainly the diversification of agricultural activities, support of entrepreneurship, as well as development of knowledge and skills. The paper considers the barriers and challenges in increasing employment in rural Poland. In particular, the changes on local rural labour markets and the influence of relevant policy tools thereon have been studied. The study is based on the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the public statistics and information on the implementation of selected EU CAP and Cohesion Policy instruments in Poland from the period 2007-2014 and the literature of the subject. The study showed that, despite the favourable economic situation and the effects of projects aimed at creating and maintaining non-agricultural jobs in rural areas supported by the EU founds, the rural employment rate and the number of people employed in agriculture did not increase significantly.

Interview data analysis brings to the fore the forces that influence the decisions of Filipino and Thai migrant women regarding family reunion: the inequalities of access to rights and resources stemming from their positions in the global reproductive systems, which are stratified and structured by gendered norms and state policies. Their positions within the reproductive systems in their countries of origin and of immigration entail obligations to fulfil, expectations to meet, and (dis)advantages to live with.

However, there has been little attempt to explore these intended outcomes as well as the potential problems arising from working out of hours. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences and views of pharmacists who work shifts as part of a 24/7 pharmacy service. Methods Semistructured interviews with shift-working pharmacists were conducted. Data were analysed using a framework approach. Results Pharmacists described the positive impact they had on patient safety by ensuring the prompt supply of time-critical medicines and their proactive role in preventing adverse drug events. Pharmacists' on-site presence and attendance at handover promoted integration into the wider team and facilitated unplanned interventions. However, requests for non-urgent supplies were a source of frustration. Disparity of pharmacists' perceptions of senior support demonstrated a need to explore communication further and the importance of non-technical skills, such as communication in service provision. Shift work appeared to be a double-edged sword for work-life balance, preventing participation in regular hobbies, but providing flexibility. Service improvements could include technician support, greater feedback provision and improved ordering processes. Conclusions Overall, pharmacists believed the shift service exhibited numerous advantages over a traditional remote on-call service, particularly in improving aspects of patient safety and integration into the wider healthcare team.

The absence of uniform and appropriate policies to address suitable interventions at the end-of-life has aggravated the challenges and issues facing health-care systems within a correctional facility. A response to address and alleviate these barriers is policies related to compassionate release, a complex route that grants eligible inmates the opportunity to die in their community. Despite the existence of compassionate release policies, only 4\% of requests to the Federal Bureau of Prisons are granted, with evidence demonstrating similarly low rates among numerous state prison systems, signifying the underuse of these procedures as a vital approach to decarceration. Design/methodology/approach A systematic review was completed using preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines. Centre for Agriculture and Biosciences International Abstracts, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Cochrane Library, Education Resources Information Center, Google Scholar, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, PubMed, Social Services Abstracts and Social Work Abstracts were searched from inception to March 2021. Inclusion criteria included: the compassionate release policy (or related policy) is implemented in the USA; reported qualitative and/or quantitative outcomes; and reported original data. Findings Twenty studies formed the final data set. Data analysis revealed four main themes: language barriers, complexities of eligibility criteria, over-reliance on prognostication and social stigma. Barriers to inmates' access to compassionate release policies include unclear or technical language used in policy documents. Eligibility criteria appear to vary across the country, including disease prognoses and the ability to predict terminal declines in health, creating confusion amongst inmates, lawyers and review boards. Stigmas surrounding the rights of incarcerated individuals frequently influence policymakers who experience pressure to maintain a punitive stance to appease constituents, thus discouraging policies and interventions that promote the release of incarcerated individuals. Research limitations/implications Further research is vital to strengthen the understanding of compassionate release policies and related barriers associated with accessing various types of early parole. To promote social justice for this marginalized population, end-of-life interventions in corrections need to be consistently evaluated with outcomes that improve care for dying inmates. Practical implications Within correctional facilities, correctional health-care workers should play an integral role in influencing prison and medical staff attitudes toward dying inmates by providing an understanding of how to effectively support this vulnerable population. Social workers should participate in research that focuses on effective guidelines for correctional facilities to provide compassionate end-of-life care for inmates. Social implications Racial disparities in the US criminal justice system are prevalent and well documented, as individuals of color are arrested far out of proportion to their share of all individuals in the USA. This particular population is thus challenged with poor access to and quality of health care in corrections. Correctional health-care workers can play an integral role in influencing policymakers, as well as prison and medical staff attitudes toward dying inmates by providing an understanding of how to effectively support this vulnerable population.

Taking advantage of the decreasing cost of working with audience-responsive digital infrastructure, Bonenfant and his team developed a live, interactive touring performance; an interactive installation artwork; and an iPad app. These artworks all intended to elicit the unusual voicings of their audience, and then entice the audience into generating increasingly sophisticated, inter-sensory vocal art, made from non-normative (or extended, unusual) vocal sounds. Through so doing, the artworks intended to celebrate the joy of vocal difference with their users. However, the works raised interesting questions about participation, invitation, coercion, discourses of freeing the voice', and the nature of the power structures embedded in this kind of participatory performance with children. Four problematic dynamics are addressed: Firstly, we explore how the artworks took advantage of a seeming neurodevelopmental predisposition to respond to their invitations. Secondly, we explore the role of live performers, the pace at which they move children through participatory activities, and to what degree their actions open up a sense of participant choice, or inversely, highlight a lack thereof. Next, the design language of the artworks, and both its inviting and coercive qualities, is explored. Finally, the nature of the internal story' told by the bodies of the participants to the participants themselves within the experience of the works is discussed. Through so doing, the article asserts that because the intention to take our child audience into a space of vocal freedom' and the attendant liberatory affect, is realised largely when the wider culture constructs such sound as forbidden; and its conclusions meditate on the implications of this.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Bonenfant, Y (Corresponding Author), Univ Winchester, Artist Proc Voice \& Extended Practices, Winchester, Hants, England.

What strategies can be used to elevate healthy social policies onto government agendas? In this paper, we examine the case of Australia's first national paid parental leave scheme, announced in 2009 after decades of policy advocacy. This scheme provides job-protected leave and government-funded pay at the minimum wage for 18weeks for eligible primary care givers on the birth of an infant, and has been shown to reduce health inequities. Drawing on documentary sources and interviews (n=25) with key policy actors, this paper traces the evolution of this landmark social policy in Australia, focusing on the role of actors, institutions and policy framings in setting the policy agenda. We find that advocates strategically deployed three different framings-for economy, gender equality and health-to drive paid parental leave onto the Government's agenda. They navigated barriers linked to power, gender ideology and cost, shifting tactics along the way by adopting different frames in various institutional settings and broadening their coalitions. Health arguments varied in different institutional settings and, at times, advocates selectively argued the economic or gender equality framing over health. The case illustrates the successful use of strategic pragmatism to provoke action, and raises broader lessons for advancing action on the social determinants of health. In particular, the case highlights the importance of adopting multiple synergistic policy framings to draw support from non-traditional allies and building coalitions to secure public policy change.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Townsend, B (Corresponding Author), Australian Natl Univ, Coll Asia \& Pacific, Sch Regulat \& Global Governance, Canberra, ACT, Australia.

Emerging research from a survey conducted by Prudential indicates that difficulty transitioning to civilian life is largely attributable to employment (Prudential, 2012). This study sought to understand veterans' employment experiences. Four focus groups (n = 33) with pre- and post-9/11 veterans who at the time were accessing housing and employment support services were conducted. Thematic analysis of focus group transcripts led to the emergence of 2 master themes: (a) organizational and societal barriers, such as limited availability of transition programs, discharge type, negative experiences of support services, and perceived discrimination; and (b) personal barriers, such as lack of initiative to plan and difficulty adjusting to working with civilians. Since data was collected for this study, updates to TAP have been implemented; this may have alleviated some of the reported barriers. The role of veterans' personal characteristics in employment requires attention in the context of agency, initiative, identity, and cultural adjustment.

Three research questions guided this study: (1) What is the occupational mobility pattern for the sample of African American female public parks and recreation employees from 2010-2015?; (2) Is there a relationship between select demographic variables and occupational mobility within the sample population?; and (3) What are the sample population's perceptions about race and gender as potential barriers to occupational mobility? Research Methods: A 50-item e-survey was developed utilizing Qualtrics and was sent to study participants via e-mail. The survey contained three sections: (1) perceived status (importance of the position in the organization) of 17 common occupational titles; (2) information about occupational mobility; and (3) demographic information. The occupational titles used in the present study were consistent with the titles used in previous occupational mobility studies in public parks and recreation and in previous National Recreation and Park Association salary surveys. Results and Findings: Overall, the majority of the sample (79.6\%, n = 90) did not experience any mobility between 2010-2015; 16\% (15.9\%, n = 18) were upwardly mobile, and the remaining 4.4\% (n = 4) experienced downward mobility.

In this quasi-experimental study, we evaluate the effect of a living wage intervention on depressive symptoms of apparel factory workers in the Dominican Republic. Setting: Two apparel factories in the Dominican Republic. Participants: The final sample consisted of 204 hourly wage workers from the intervention (99) and comparison (105) factories. Interventions: In 2010, an apparel factory began a living wage intervention including a 350\% wage increase and significant workplace improvements. The wage increase was plausibly exogenous because workers were not aware of the living wage when applying for jobs and expected to be paid the usual minimum wage. These individuals were compared with workers at a similar local factory paying minimum wage, 15-16 months postintervention. Primary outcome measures: Workers' depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D). Ordinary least squares and Poisson regressions were used to evaluate treatment effect of the intervention, adjusted for covariates. Results: Intervention factory workers had fewer depressive symptoms than comparison factory workers (unadjusted mean CES-D scores: 10.6 +/- 9.3 vs 14.7 +/- 11.6, p=0.007). These results were sustained when controlling for covariates (beta=-5.4, 95\% CI -8.5 to -2.3, p=0.001). In adjusted analyses using the standard CES-D clinical cut-off of 16, workers at the intervention factory had a 47\% reduced risk of clinically significant levels of depressive symptoms compared with workers at the comparison factory (23\% vs 40\%).

Design Qualitative study based on interviews and audio/written diary data. Setting UK study within clinical academia. Participants Purposive sample of 82 clinical academics working in medicine and dentistry across all career stages ranging from academic clinical fellows and doctoral candidates to professors. Methods Qualitative semistructured interviews (n=68) and audio diary data (n=30; including 16 participants who were also interviewed) collected over an 8-month period (January-September 2020), thematically analysed. Results 20 of 30 (66.6\%) audio diary contributors and 40 of 68 (58.8\%) interview participants were female. Of the participants who disclosed ethnicity, 5 of 29 (17.2\%) audio diary contributors and 19/66 (28.8\%) interview participants identified as Black, Asian or another minority (BAME). Four major themes were identified in relation to the initial impact of COVID-19 on clinical academics: opportunities, barriers, personal characteristics and social identity, and fears and uncertainty. COVID-19 presented opportunities for new avenues of research. Barriers included access to resources to conduct research and the increasing teaching demands. One of the most prominent subthemes within `personal characteristics' was that of the perceived negative impact of the pandemic on the work of female clinical academics. This was attributed to inequalities experienced in relation to childcare provision and research capacity. Participants described differential experiences based upon their gender and ethnicity, noting intersectional identities. Conclusions While there have been some positives afforded to clinical academics, particularly for new avenues of research, COVID-19 has negatively impacted workload, future career intentions and mental health. BAME academics were particularly fearful due to the differential impact on health. Our study elucidates the direct and systemic discrimination that creates barriers to women's career trajectories in clinical academia. A flexible, strategic response that supports clinical academics in resuming their training and research is required.

This Article discusses the family doctor shortage, compares family medicine training programs, examines the distributional challenges faced by these programs, and proposes directions for further experimentation. Despite an increasing number of family doctors, they represented only 5.6\% of all doctors in 2013. Currently, three training programs run concurrently-the post-transfer training, residency training, and designated family medicine undergraduate education programs. These programs face several challenges. First, the educational qualifications of primary care practitioners (PCPs) vary greatly between rural and urban regions. From 2005 to 2013, the percentage of PCPs with three or more years of medical training in urban areas was at least 20.0\% higher than in rural areas. Second, regional disparities in the number of family doctors for every 10,000 people exist. The richer eastern part of China has a ratio of 1.51 family doctors for every 10,000 people, nearly double that of central (0.70) and western China (0.86). Third, better-educated doctors are most likely going to prefer to work in hospitals, which offer a lucrative career path with higher pay and social status. Intervention packages that combine student selection policies that look at place of origin and career intent with other incentive strategies are worth implementing. Adequate clinical exposure and regular, rigorous evaluations are crucial for enhancing training quality.

In this article we compare the cohorts born 1920-1950 in West Germany and Switzerland, whose adult life courses are characterized by similar strong male-breadwinner contexts in both countries. The countries differ in that Switzerland represented a liberal pension system, whereas Germany represented a corporatist protective pension system when these cohorts retired. We therefore assess how gendered work family life courses that developed in similar male-breadwinner contexts are related to financial well-being in retirement in different pension systems. Using data from the SHARELIFE survey we conduct multichannel sequence analysis and cluster analysis to identify groups of typical work family life courses from ages 20 to 59. Regression models estimate how these groups are associated with the individual pension income and household income in retirement. Results show that women who combined motherhood with part time work and extended periods out of the labour force have even lower individual pension income in Switzerland compared to their German peers. This relative disadvantage partly extends to lower household income in retirement. Findings support that male breadwinner policies earlier in life combined with liberal pension policies later in life, as in Switzerland, intensify pension penalties for typical female work family life courses of early motherhood and weak labour force attachment. We conclude that life course sensitive social policies should harmonize regulations, which are in effect earlier in life with policies later in life for specific birth cohorts. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

This makes legislating on labour migration a balancing act, which often leads to legislation which grants wide discretion to bureaucrats in assessing labour market needs or other public interest indicators. We question whether, and if so how, the use of discretion in labour migration law transforms our concepts of migration and - possibly - membership. Central to our analysis is the fundamental question of how discretion may be properly limited. The existence of acceptable levels of transparency, accountability and representativeness in policy- and law-making processes is the first line of defence against arbitrary exclusion of `the other' from membership. We show how discretion in labour migration policy is not determined so much by regional context (e.g. the EU). We do this by presenting two case studies on jurisdictions from very different regional contexts: the Netherlands and Macau SAR. These jurisdictions are representative of the persistent pressure exerted by governments to overcome obstacles encountered in the rigid statutory wording and mould the daily application of migration law to their perception of public interest. We use the globally relevant concept of income, understood sometimes as a barrier to migration and sometimes as a means to protect the migrant, and inquire on the recurrent use of discretion in setting the level of income required for migration. We show how discretion is used to label income as either too high or too low. In this respect, the use of discretionary power calls into question the principles of participation, transparency, affectedness, and accountability. Income requirements and their enforcement present themselves not as a means to protect migrant workers but more like another instrument of exclusion from - potential - full membership.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {de Lange, T (Corresponding Author), Radboud Univ Nijmegen, Ctr Migrat Law, Res Ctr State \& Law, Nijmegen, Netherlands. de Lange, Tesseltje, Radboud Univ Nijmegen, Ctr Migrat Law, Res Ctr State \& Law, Nijmegen, Netherlands. de Sena, Pedro, Univ Amsterdam, Amsterdam Ctr European Law \& Govt, Amsterdam, Netherlands. de Sena, Pedro, Univ Amsterdam, Dept Constitut Law, Fac Law, Amsterdam, Netherlands.}, DOI = {10.1080/20508840.2020.1729559}, Research-Areas = {Government \& Law}, Web-of-Science-Categories = {Law}, Author-Email = {tesseltje.delange@jur.ru.nl}, Times-Cited = {0}, Usage-Count-Last-180-days = {2}, Usage-Count-Since-2013 = {3}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000529442900004}, DA = {2023-11-02}, } @article{ WOS:000802228500010, Author = {Paul, Claire Donehower and Thomas, Erin Vinoski and Marelle, Chelsea and Hussain, Sharish Z. and Doulin, Allison M. and Jimenez, Eliseo}, Title = {Using wireless technology to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in vocational settings: A focus group study}, Journal = {JOURNAL OF VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION}, Year = {2022}, Volume = {56}, Number = {3}, Pages = {303-312}, Abstract = {BACKGROUND: The benefits of successful integrated employment for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are immense. However, barriers contributing to high rates of unemployment among people with IDD, such as lack of appropriate training for employers and inadequate supports, are still widespread. Ensuring access to technology in the workplace is one method to support employees with IDD and mitigate those barriers. Furthermore, assistive technology may provide a simple and cost-effective intervention in the vocational setting. OBJECTIVE: In this study, we conducted a series of focus groups with adults with IDD and their family members to explore the use of technology by individuals with IDD in vocational contexts. METHODS: We used a qualitative descriptive approach to frame the study design. Data were analyzed using a multi-cycle thematic coding process. RESULTS: Four major themes emerged from the analysis: participants' wireless/wearable technology use, benefits and facilitators of technology use at work, barriers and challenges to technology use at work, and expectations for and outcomes associated with technology supports in the workplace.

Nineteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with young adults with both lived experience of a FEP and a CSC program, from a critical case sample of 10 persons who were involved in an advocacy group. Results indicate that family support and expectations, disability narratives from mental health professionals, the realities of the modern labor market, and university disability support strongly influenced the pathway to employment, education, or disability, and that these were influenced by multiple structural realities such as family SES, disability policies, and treatment ideology, and the capacity of the labor market and universities.

This paper critically appraises the process, and outcomes, of an adapted Delphi method. Participants were the residential care leadership (i.e. staff in supervisory capacity) from four international facilities. Participation in the Delphi process was limited even though surveys were designed to require minimal time for completion. No participants opted for the alternative option of being interviewed. Findings indicate that residential care leadership recognised the importance of meaningful engagement for residents from CALD backgrounds. Limitations of time, resources and policy infrastructure were cited as barriers to achieving PCC. These findings suggest that facility leadership understand the importance of PCC, but identify multiple barriers rather than enablers for delivering PCC. Alternative methods, such as collecting data in interactive sessions allowing real-time discussion should be initiated to more effectively engage residential care leaders for a collaborative approach to explore PCC practices.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {du Toit, SHJ (Corresponding Author), Univ Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia. du Toit, SHJ (Corresponding Author), Univ Sydney, Fac Med \& Hlth, 75 East St,J111,Cumberland Campus, Lidcombe, NSW 2141, Australia. du Toit, Sanetta Henrietta Johanna; Lovarini, Meryl, Univ Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia. du Toit, Sanetta Henrietta Johanna, Univ Sydney, Fac Med \& Hlth, 75 East St,J111,Cumberland Campus, Lidcombe, NSW 2141, Australia.

Significant controversy surrounds such attempts, but we know little about the perceptions and experiences of enrollees. Objective To characterize experiences of work and its relationship to participation in Medicaid and other public programs among potential targets of Medicaid work requirements. Design In-depth, semi-structured, one-time qualitative interviews. Participants 35 very low-income, non-disabled Medicaid expansion enrollees participating in a county-sponsored Medicaid managed care plan as a part of a larger study. Approach We used a biographical narrative interpretive method during interviews including questions about the use of employment and income support and other public programs including from state and federal disability programs. Our team iteratively coded verbatim transcripts allowing for emergent themes. Key Results Interview data revealed high motivation for, and broad participation in, formal and informal paid work. Eight themes emerged: (1) critical poverty (for example, ``I'm not content, but what choices do I have?{''}); (2) behavioral and physical health barriers to work; (3) social barriers: unstable housing, low education, criminal justice involvement; (4) work, pride, and shame; (5) inflexible, unstable work (for example, ``Can I have a job that will accommodate my doctor appointments? horizontal ellipsis Will my therapy have to suffer? You know? So it's a double edged sword.{''}); (6) Medicaid supports the ability to work; (7) lack of transparency and misalignment of program eligibility (for example, ``It's not like I don't want to work because I would like to work. It's just that I don't want to be homeless again, right?{''}); and (8) barriers, confusion, and contradictions about federal disability. Conclusions We conclude that bipartisan solutions prioritizing the availability of well-paying jobs and planful transitions off of public programs would best serve very low-income, work-capable Medicaid enrollees.}, Type = {Article; Proceedings Paper}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Vickery, KD (Corresponding Author), Hennepin Healthcare Res Inst, 701 Pk Ave,S9-104 S2-311, Minneapolis, MN 55415 USA.

These programs develop economies and combat poverty, promote democracy and governance, build new infrastructure, advance and protect human rights, among other development goals. The United States cannot effectively accomplish the goals of foreign assistance programs unless it undertakes measures to ensure that the programs are accessible to and inclusive of people with disabilities. The United States has been a leader in advancing the rights of people with disabilities and must continue to promote disability rights through its international development work. Overseas economic development will not be successful unless people with disabilities are included. Because of the significant number of people with disabilities in developing countries, if they are not included, the very economic growth the United States is trying to foster will be hindered. The goals of democracy and governance programs cannot be achieved without the inclusion of people with disabilities. In many countries, domestic law contains blatant discriminatory provisions for people with disabilities that undermine access to justice and full participation in society. The provisions that discriminate against people with disabilities include arbitrary exclusions in electoral codes, sweeping plenary guardianship laws with no due-process protections, discriminatory banking practices, and inaccessible court proceedings.

This substitution migration policy, however, is put into question from a knowledge-based economical and political perspective, since, by disregarding the relationship between labor productivity transformations and demographic crisis, it fails to see important processes whereby immigrants are differentially included. Moreover, we want to reject the philanthropic and optimistic views of globalization, as consolidated in formulations such as ``brain gain{''} and ``brain circulation{''}, which emphasize the generalized positive effects of qualified workers' migration. Instead, we suggest delving into the cognitive injustice of international migration processes, which are part of a greater global social injustice pattern.

Perspectives from rural South Africa}, Journal = {SOCIAL SCIENCE \& MEDICINE}, Year = {2020}, Volume = {258}, Month = {AUG}, Abstract = {Women in low- and middle-income countries and in contexts characterized by inequality face various interpersonal and structural barriers when accessing formal maternal and child health (MCH) services. These barriers persist even in contexts where programs to increase access to services, such as community health worker (CHW) interventions, have been implemented. However, while barriers to accessing care have been extensively documented, less is known about the diverse ways that women respond to, and navigate, these situations. This study explores strategies pregnant women and new mothers use to navigate and respond to health care barriers in a rural district in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. Twenty-six pregnant or recently delivered clients of the Enable Mentor Mother program were interviewed about their experiences of accessing formal MCH services. Interviews were conducted between February-March 2018 by an experienced isiXhosa-speaking research assistant, translated and transcribed into English, with transcripts coded and organized by themes using ATLAS.ti software. Facing resource shortages, inconsistent communication, and long travel times to clinics, participants employed diverse, innovative strategies to navigate interpersonal and structural barriers to care. While some participants chose to respond to barriers more passively-citing endurance and acceptance as practices of health system engagement-those participants who focused more on active responses tended to leverage their education, existing relationships, and available community resources to overcome barriers. Nevertheless, most participants described feelings of frustration and dejection. While CHW interventions may alleviate some of the burdens facing fragile health care systems in these contexts, these programs still rely on an underlying infrastructure of care that primary health care clinics and hospitals should be providing. Future programming should work in tandem with formal health systems and should support staff to improve quality of care provided to pregnant women, new mothers, and their infants to prioritize their health at a time of vulnerability.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Laurenzi, CA (Corresponding Author), Stellenbosch Univ, Fac Med \& Hlth Sci, Inst Life Course Hlth Res, Dept Global Hlth, 4009 Educ Bldg,Francie van Zijl Dr, ZA-7505 Tygerberg, Western Cape, South Africa.

Method: Data from a large-scale survey were used to compare women's care experiences according to Australian Standard Geographical Classification (major city, inner regional, outer regional, remote and very remote). Results: Compared to the other groups, women from remote or very remote areas were more likely to be younger, live in an area with poorer economic resources, identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander and give birth in a public facility. They were more likely to travel to another city, town or community for birth. In adjusted analyses women from remote areas were less likely to have interventions such as electronic fetal monitoring, but were more likely to give birth in an upright position and be able to move around during labour. Women from remote areas did not differ significantly from women from major cities in their satisfaction with interpersonal care. Antenatal and postpartum care was lacking for rural women. In adjusted analyses they were much less likely to have booked for maternity care by 18 weeks gestation, to be telephoned or visited by a care provider in the first 10 days after birth. Despite these differences, women from remote areas were more likely to be breastfeeding at 13 weeks and confident in caring for their baby at home. Conclusions: Findings support qualitative assertions that remote and rural women are disadvantaged in their access to antenatal and postnatal care by the need to travel for birth, however, other factors such as age were more likely to be significant barriers to high quality interpersonal care. Improvements to maternity services are needed in order to address inequalities in maternity care particularly in the postnatal period. (C) 2014 Australian College of Midwives.

In Botswana, approximately 70\% of cancers are diagnosed at late stage and median time from first health facility visit for cancer-related symptoms to specialty cancer care was 160 days (IQR 59-653). We describe the implementation and early outcomes of training targeting primary care providers, which is a part of a multi-component implementation study in Kweneng-East district aiming to enhance timely diagnosis of cancers. Methods: Health-care providers from all public facilities within the district were invited to participate in an 8-h intensive short-course program developed by a multidisciplinary team and adapted to the Botswana health system context. Participants' performance was assessed using a 25-multiple choice question tool, with pre- and post assessments paired by anonymous identifier. Statistical analysis with Wilcoxon signed-rank test to compare performance at the two time points across eight sub-domains (pathophysiology, epidemiology, social context, symptoms, evaluation, treatment, documentation, follow-up). Linear regression and negative binomial modeling were used to determine change in performance. Participants' satisfaction with the program was measured on a separate survey using a 5-point Likert scale. Results: 176 participants attended the training over 5 days in April 2016. Pooled linear regression controlling for test version showed an overall performance increase of 16.8\% after participation (95\% 01 15.2-18.4). Statistically significant improvement was observed for seven out of eight subdomains on test A and all eight subdomains on test B. Overall, 71 (40.3\%) trainees achieved a score greater than 70\% on the pretest, and 161 (91.5\%) did so on the posttest. Participants reported a high degree of satisfaction with the training program's content and its relevance to their daily work. Conclusion: We describe a successfully implemented primary health care provider focused training component of an innovative intervention aiming to reduce health systems delays in cancer diagnosis in sub-Saharan Africa. The training achieved district-wide participation, and improvement in the knowledge of primary health-care providers in this setting.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Tapela, NM (Corresponding Author), Botswana Harvard AIDS Inst Partnership, Gaborone, Botswana.

In addition, Africans also lack resources in South Korean civil society as well as within the African migrant community, and thus face formidable barriers in collective resistance.

The field of early childhood education (ECE) has been impacted by long-run social problems such as gender-imbalance (Skelton, 2011; Rohrmann, 2012; Mottint, 2013), cultural barriers (Pruit, 2015; Drudy, 2008), stereotypes about male teachers' nurturing abilities (Sargent, 2004; Johnson, Middleton, Nicholson, \& Sandrick, 2010), homophobic reactions (Pruit, 2015; King, 1998) and low-paying jobs (Whitebook et al., 2016; Cooney \& Bittner, 2001), which have collectively deterred men from working with young children. Empirical research can provide much-needed data to help practitioners and policymakers make sentient decisions to take on these social challenges. This paper shares findings from a place-based study that uses mixed methods (e.g., surveys, interviews, and on-site observations) to examine strategic efforts toward increasing men's engagement in the ECE workforce. One of the study's key research question is: How can empirical data inform governmental agencies and civil society to garner more supports for augmenting male participation in the ECE field? Over a twelve-month period, the study has gleaned and analyzed empirical data from more than 60 culturally and linguistically diverse male educators and program administrators (both male and female) who work in a variety of early education and care programs operating in low, moderate, and high-resource neighborhoods throughout New York City. The research uses SPSS, NVivo and SurveyMonkey in its analysis to triangulate demographic information and employment-related themes that emerge from the data.

In the presented text, the author deals with the issue of physical disability and the impact of physical disability on the life of an individual, i.e. what practical disadvantages are imposed on the affected individual by having such disability when compared to people having no such disability. The author describes in more detail various models of physical disability that involve the history of how society has been approaching this phenomenon. According to the author, the presence of disadvantages arising from physical disability that affect the life of a human beings entities the disabled to be considered as a minority. The author makes distinction between two types of approach to this minority: on one side, there is an approach that is currently becoming a basis for preparing anti-discrimination legislation and for launching a global campaign promoting human rights protection; this approach is put to contrast against a traditional collective approach that is based on general indemnification of the disabled by means of social welfare and labour policy measures. The author looks at some contradictory areas, which, in real-life practice, make it more difficult to think of the disabled as an internally as well as externally coherent minority. This fact, however, does not weaken the UN-level effort of professional experts and activists for human rights of the persons with physical disability who are currently working on preparation of General Declaration of Human Rights of Persons with Physical Disability.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Slovak}, Affiliation = {Ministerstvo Prace, Socialnych Veci Rodiny Slovenskej Republ, Bratislava 81643, Slovakia.}, Research-Areas = {Sociology}, Web-of-Science-Categories = {Sociology}, Author-Email = {repkova@employment.gov.sk}, Times-Cited = {0}, Usage-Count-Last-180-days = {1}, Usage-Count-Since-2013 = {7}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000182381400003}, DA = {2023-11-02}, } @article{ WOS:000332020000012, Author = {Kinn, Liv Grethe and Holgersen, Helge and Aas, Randi W. and Davidson, Larry}, Title = {``Balancing on Skates on the Icy Surface of Work{''}: A Metasynthesis of Work Participation for Persons with Psychiatric Disabilities}, Journal = {JOURNAL OF OCCUPATIONAL REHABILITATION}, Year = {2014}, Volume = {24}, Number = {1}, Pages = {125-138}, Month = {MAR}, Abstract = {Purpose To explore how persons with psychiatric disabilities experience facilitators of and barriers to participation in paid work in transitional, supported, and open employment settings, in order to provide guidance for efforts to attract and retain these persons in gainful employment as a key dimension of recovery and community life. Methods A metasynthesis was conducted using 16 qualitative studies published between 1990 and 2011. Results Ten themes, two phases, and an overarching metaphor were identified. The first five themes describe facilitators of and impediments to getting a job (getting off the bench): (1) fighting inertia; (2) taking control; (3) encouraging peers; (4) disruptions related to the illness; (5) lack of opportunities and supports. The next five themes represent facilitators of and impediments to working (skating on the ice); (6) going mainstream; (7) social cohesion; (8) clarity in role and responsibilities; (9) environmental factors; (10) managing self-disclosure. We chose as our overarching metaphor ``Balancing on Skates on the Icy Surface of Work,{''} as we view both iceskaters and workers with psychiatric disabilities as needing to achieve and maintain their balance while being ``on the edge{''} between various extremities. Conclusion We have shown that, for persons with psychiatric disabilities to ``get off the bench{''} and ``onto the ice{''} of employment, they may need to be supported in finding and maintaining their balance in new situations through a combination of learning new skills and competencies (learning how to skate) while receiving in vivo assistance from empathic and knowledgeable supporters (being coached while on the ice).}, Type = {Review}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Kinn, LG (Corresponding Author), Volda Univ Coll, Dept Social Work, N-6101 Volda, Norway.

Past studies had identified a number of potential barriers to employment that refugees and migrants face when looking for work, though they are typically treated in isolation, meaning that the way they interact in determining employment outcomes is poorly understood. To address this gap in research, data was collected from 100 migrants and refugees that were either working in or actively seeking employment in the Australian AEC industry. The model, developed through partial least square analysis, provides new insights into the interaction between labor market familiarity, human capital, perceived support structures, labor market discrimination, work-related acculturation and the experiences of securing meaningful work in the Australian AEC industry. The results indicate that the level of familiarity of a candidate with the local market positively influences their perceived support structures, which in turn impacts their work-related acculturation, and opportunities for obtaining meaningful work. Perceived labor market discrimination also influences the relationship between the familiarity of the candidate with the market and their perceived levels of support. It is concluded that policy makers should focus on better integration of skilled migrants and refugees in the local AEC industry via enhancing familiarity in the local market, qualification and experience recognition, raising awareness of work culture, and legal systems and procedures, along with removing negative stereotypes to help reduce the barriers to employment that they face.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Hammad, AWA (Corresponding Author), Univ New South Wales UNSW Sydney, Sch Built Environm, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia.

British Columbia, argued before the Supreme Court of British Columbia in 2010, appealed ultimately to the Supreme Court of Canada and ruled on November 10, 2016. We find that smaller classes can improve teacher-student interactions and individualized instruction, decreasing time spent on discipline issues, leading to better student behaviour, attitude, and efforts. Smaller classes generally have greater advantages for younger students, and effects are more observable in class sizes of less than 20. Small classes may shrink achievement gaps, decrease dropout rates, and increase high school graduation rates, and appear to enhance academic outcomes, particularly for marginalized groups. Researchers have detected class size effects many years later. Small classes have been found to boost teachers' morale and job satisfaction. While some studies have found effects at the secondary and post-secondary level, results are generally inconclusive at this level. Finally, some researchers have argued that class size reductions are an inefficient use of funds which might be better spent elsewhere in the system.

The rural area is poor and sparsely populated with an African American majority. The largest employer of women in the area is a poultry processing plant. The goals of the analyses were 1) to evaluate whether women employed in poultry processing had a higher prevalence of depressive symptoms than other working women from the same geographic area, and 2) to evaluate factors which might be associated with depression among all of these working women, including specific characteristics of their work environment. Recruitment of participants (n=590) and data collection were by community-based staff who were also African American women. Depressive symptoms were measured using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Work organization factors were measured with the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ). Log-binomial regression was used to calculate crude and adjusted prevalence ratios. The prevalence of depressive symptoms, based on a CES-D measure of sixteen or more, was 47.8\% among the poultry workers and 19.7\% among the other working women (prevalence ratio=2.3). After adjusting for socioeconomic variables, health-related quality of life and coping style, the prevalence of depressive symptoms remained 80\% higher among the poultry workers. The prevalence of symptoms was also higher among those who perceived low social support at work, hazardous work conditions, job insecurity, and high levels of isometric load. These factors were all more common among the women employed in the poultry plant. The concentration of this low-wage industry in economically depressed rural areas illuminates how class exploitation and racial discrimination may influence disparities in health among working women.

The existing knowledge about the industry is both analytical (entailing different frames of thinking, such as enclave and linkages approaches) and empirical (including in what ways is the oil resource a blessing, a curse, or both and to what extent regulations can attenuate or accentuate undesirable outcomes). The existing research shows that to probe whether there is a resource curse/blessing is to ask the question the wrong way. Instead, it is more useful to ask in what ways the oil and gas industry in Ghana driven by a fear of resource curse moulds and is moulded by institutions and aspirations. The tendency has been to emphasise the need for more economic growth and avoid state corruption. Steeped in mainstream economic management, the interest is in bolstering growth-enhancing processes, such as attenuating currency instability and expending limited revenue on social development as a right because such social expenditure is `unsustainable'. While this emphasis can achieve the important goal of stabilising the economy, it totally ignores or superficially considers the more complex ramifications of oil and gas extraction, namely the growing sphere of influence of transnational oil companies some of which have become key actors in planning, inequalities across space in terms of income and productive resources, exploitation of women, especially, and labour more generally, and ecological pillage. When the policy focal lenses are changed to emphasise these other ramifications, both the implications for and possibilities to use oil resources for social development become more clearly evident and the need to re-theorise the ramifications of oil ever more pressing. In spite of this contribution to the global energy debate, the existing body of knowledge in Ghana is weak in the sense that it lacks a careful theorisation of oil as part of the biogas-electricity-oil-gas-biofuel complex, how this complex is melded into the local/global capitalist mode of production, contradictions in the process, attempts at attenuating these contradictory processes, and how these attempts, in turn, cause different and differential experiences across the entire spectrum (up, mid, and downstream) of oil production, distribution, and consumption. To address these gaps, this article briefly describes several new approaches that could be used to bolster theorisation of the oil and gas industry. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Medication use may be subject to similar disparities. Objective: To assess the association between demographic and socioeconomic factors (gender, age, race, income, education, and rural or urban residence) and appropriateness of medication use. Methods: US adults aged >= 45 years (n = 26,798) from the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study were included in the analyses, of which 13,623 participants aged >= 65 years (recruited 2003-2007). Potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) use in older adults and drug-drug interactions (DDIs) were identified through 2015 Beers Criteria and clinically significant drug interactions list by Ament et al., respectively as measures of medication appropriateness. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the association of disparity parameters with PIM use and DDIs. Interactions between race and other disparity variables were investigated. Results: Approximately 87\% of the participants aged >= 65 years used at least one drug listed in the Beers Criteria, and 3.8\% of all participants used two or more drugs with DDIs. Significant gender-race interaction across prescription-only drug users revealed that white females compared with white males (OR = 1.33, 95\% CI 1.20-1.48) and black males compared with white males (OR = 1.60, 95\% CI 1.41-1.82) were more likely to receive PIM. Individuals with lower income and education also were more likely to use PIM in this sub-group. Females were less likely than males (female vs. male: OR = 0.55, 95\% CI 0.48-0.63) and individuals resided in small rural areas as opposed to urban areas (small rural vs. urban: OR = 1.37, 95\% CI 1.07-1.76) were more likely to have DDIs. Conclusion: Demographic and socioeconomic disparities in PIM use and DDIs exist.

Design: National cross-sectional data on employment rates for people with and without an LLTI or disability were obtained from the General Household Survey (GHS) for a 14-year period ( 1990-2003; 12 surveys). Representative population samples were analysed. The sample size for the GHS over the study period ranged from 19 193 to 24 657 and the average response rate ranged from 72\% to 82\%. Main outcome measure: Age-standardised employment rates for individuals with and without an LLTI or disability, analysed by sex and socioeconomic status. Results: Analysis of covariance identified that the DDA had had a negative effect on employment rates for individuals with an LLTI or disability during the study period. This negative effect was found to be differential according to social class ranging from no effect in social classes I and II (22.86\%, 95\% CI 28.7\% to 2.99\%), increasing with social class group, to a highly significant effect in social classes IV and V (210.7\%, 95\% CI 26.16\% to 215.24\%).

While urban planning discourse has acknowledged the impact of large cities on neighboring satellite areas, finding that regeneration projects can result in a weak sense of place for {[}such] secondary towns (Turok, 2009), few have considered the extent to which arts organizations in secondary towns are able to sustain their work and create their own narratives. Drawing from the thought of Pierre Bourdieu and from theories of institutional logics, I adopt a relational approach to exploring the ways in which organizations within the local cultural ecology understand their operating environment. Although cultural policy endeavors to use local arts infrastructure to build local capacity, this case study reveals a situation in which those organizations in satellite towns remain unable to gain the status enjoyed by their metropolitan counterparts. Further, it examples a field that remains highly institutionalized, hierarchical, and increasingly professionalized. Institutional arrangements result in organizations in the satellite-town depending upon its city neighbor for crucial legitimating capitals. Just as stories of class reproduce patterns of inequality, this situation is similarly true for organizations. Organizations are found to be complicit in the production and reproduction of inequalities within the institutional field, with dominant organizations appearing more able to access legitimizing capital than others. Ultimately, I argue that organizations in satellite towns are heavily reliant on symbolic resources supplied by the institutional fields of greater scope in which they are nested. Organizations are required to harness the support of elite individuals and dominant ``world-maker{''} organizations, which lie beyond their immediate local context to secure legitimacy for themselves and their activities.

It is estimated that around 43\% of cancer deaths are due to tobacco use, unhealthy diets, alcohol consumption, inactive lifestyles and infection.

These groups also have less access to the health services and health education that would empower them to make decisions to protect and improve their own health.

Studies have shown that heavy intake of alcoholic beverages is associated with nutrient deficiency, which appears to contribute independently to oral carcinogenesis. Oral cancer is preventable through risk factors intervention. Prevention of HIV infection will also reduce the incidence of HIV/AIDS-related cancers such as Kaposi sarcoma and lymphoma. The WHO Global Oral Health Programme is committed to work for country capacity building in oral cancer prevention, inter-country exchange of information and experiences from integrated approaches in prevention and health promotion, and the development of global surveillance systems for oral cancer and risk factors. The WHO Global Oral Health Programme has established a global surveillance system of oral cavity cancer in order to assess risk factors and to help the planning of effective national intervention programmes. Epidemiological data on oral cancer (ICD-10: C00-C08) incidence and mortality are stored in the Global Oral Health Data Bank. In 2007, the World Health Assembly (WHA) passed a resolution on oral health for the first time in 25 years, which also considers oral cancer prevention. The resolution WHA60 A16 URGES Member states-To take steps to ensure that prevention of oral cancer is an integral part of national cancer-control programmes, and to involve oral-health professionals or primary health care personnel with relevant training in oral health in detection, early diagnosis and treatment;The WHO Global Oral Health Programme will use this statement as the lead for its work for oral cancer control www.who.int/oral\_health.

The legal tests under consideration would outlaw the use of non-market mechanisms such as cross-subsidisation, universal risk pooling, solidarity, and public accountability in the design, funding, and delivery of public services as being anti-competitive and restrictive to trade.

The regional transportation program provided free transit passes and vanpool services to participants during their first 6 months of employment and training on regional transit options for job developers. WtW participants' travel patterns were noted, social service contractors were interviewed, and Temporary Aid to Needy Families (TANF) clients were examined. In 2000, pass use for WtW participants and regular 30-day pass users was determined to be almost identical because of the strong economy of the late 1990s. Three years later, travel patterns suggested that participants were beginning to find employment farther from home, many in the job-rich O'Hare Airport corridor, and that the costs and benefits of sending low-income workers to distant work locations needed to be assessed. Although providing fare subsidies that allow low-income workers to take advantage of existing infrastructure may be helpful, transportation solutions probably will not be enough to make a meaningful and sustained impact. The regional transportation program illustrates the need for holistic approaches to social policy. The disproportionate level of transit dependency, longer travel times, and significantly higher use of public transit in many of the Chicago communities that have the highest numbers of TANF clients than in the city as a whole point to a serious need for affordable housing near job centers in the Chicago region.}, Type = {Article; Proceedings Paper}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Hunt, KL (Corresponding Author), Univ Chicago, Harris Sch Publ Policy Studies, 5514 S Woodlawn Ave, Chicago, IL 60637 USA.

I use original data from a case study to evaluate this proposed theoretical extension. Drawing on interviews with 21 middle-class Iraqis who settled in the Greater Toronto area following the 2003 US-led invasion, I find that participants who entered Canada as both refugee and non-refugee migrants self-insured against risks to physical and socioeconomic safety through migration. I argue that foregrounding state policies, which delineate the legal statuses available to potential migrants and their associated rights and obligations, improves NELM's utility for explaining migration from conflict. By sampling on the country of origin, rather than destination country entry category, I show that host-state policies structure the risks of migration and, consequently, family risk-management decisions and mobility patterns. Additionally, those motivated to migrate due to violence can self-insure against these risks by negotiating legal status as a means to safety if they have the resources to meet restrictive policy requirements. Thus, this paper suggests that better-resourced migrants may be at an advantage when fleeing conflict.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Poole, A (Corresponding Author), McGill Univ, Dept Sociol, Montreal, PQ, Canada.

The primary aim of this study was to explore perceptions and experiences of stress, resilience, and well-being amongst a sample of Filipino merchant seafarers. Methods: Focus groups were conducted with merchant seafarers working in a large shipping organisation. Four focus groups were conducted, each with eight ratings (n = 32) (all male). Participants were Filipino ratings across all departments (deck, engine and galley), and worked onboard liquefied natural gas carriers, product oil tankers and crude oil tankers, operating globally. Qualitative data was analysed using the descriptive and interpretive qualitative methods. Results: Ratings communicated their perceptions and experiences of stress, resilience and well-being in relation to 11 domains: workload; safety; social; support; salary; food; shore leave and signing off and on; nationality and culture; management; inequality; and optimisation. Two critical broader themes interlaced the findings. The first, recent changes, was highlighted by participants regarding the need for more socialisation and shore leave for example. The second, organisational justice, was emphasised by ratings regarding, for instance, the importance of an equal and fair work environment. Conclusion: Supporting the psychosocial well-being of seafarers may benefit both the individual seafarer and their employer, through improved well-being and increased work performance, comprising a virtuous reinforcing cycle. Importantly, a work environment seen as supportive and just is necessary to provide a good platform upon which individually focused psychosocial interventions can be optimally applied.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {McVeigh, J (Corresponding Author), Maynooth Univ, Dept Psychol, North Campus,Room SF12,John Hume Bldg, Maynooth, Kildare, Ireland.

In doing so I recognise that the working class (defined as all those who sell their/ our labour power) is segmented horizontally into `layers,' or strata (for example, the dispossessed, unemployed, unskilled, though to the supervisory. managerial level/ stratum) and also vertically, for example, by `race'and by gender, with particular ethnic groups, and women in general, disabled and oppressed and exploited to a greater degree than their/ our white, male sisters and brothers). Analysing from a Classical Marxist perspective I address the structures of the capitalist state through which this exclusion and `subalternising'is imposed, through formal state structures such as education, media, the panoply of state force and class law, as well as through the material power of the capitalist class, expressed through, for example, wage suppression and enforced immiseration of the majority of the working class. In doing so I address two types of neo-Marxist analysis- `Structuralist neo-Marxism' and `Culturalist neo-Marxism', and the dialectical relationship between them. They differ on such matters as: the degree of `relative autonomy' for resistant agency; the relative impact and import of cultural-ideological as against structural- material analysis; and the salience or not of social class analysis, the Capital-Labour relation, vis-a vis other forms of oppression such as `race; and gender', and their implications for political resistance and organisation at the cultural-ideological level and at the level of power, the material power to reform and revolutionise economic and social relations of Capital. I propose an activist programme of resistance at two levels. Firstly, societal level, looking at Marxists such as Marx and Engels, Rosa Luxemburg, Lenin, Trotsky and the dialectical relationship between Reform and Revolution. Secondly, at the level of Education, both formal and informal (through social movements, political parties, trade unions, through public pedagogy for example). Within the formal education structures, I advance specific proposals regarding schooling and teacher education.

However, few studies have explored precisely how the condition of ``illegality{''} influences illness experiences, medical treatment, and convalescence. This article presents a case study from Germany (2004-2006 and 2008), where unauthorized migrants face limited access to health care and the threat of deportation results in avoidance of services and treatment delays. This is confounded by unique laws which essentially criminalize health care workers for aiding migrants. This article provides a snapshot of 183 patients who attended a Berlin clinic that functions as the single largest source of medical assistance for unauthorized persons in Germany. The demographic information sketches a picture of labor migrants with a mean age of approximately 29 years. More women than men presented at this clinic, a result of its ability to successfully arrange prenatal care and delivery as well as a reflection of local labor markets. The diversity of countries of origin (n = 55) is surprising, underscoring the utility of using illegal status as a unifying variable to highlight migrants' shared position in the global economy and the resulting barriers to basic medical services. Patients presented with a range of illnesses typical for their age group. However, the effects of illegal status resulted in four areas of disparities: 1) limits to the overall quality and quantity of care for mothers and infants: 2) delayed presentation and difficulties accessing a regular supply of medication for patients with chronic illnesses; 3) difficulties in accessing immediate medical attention for unpredictable injuries and other acute health concerns;, and 4) a lack of mental health care options for generalized stress and anxiety affecting health. In Germany, an incoherent policy environment contributes to inadequate services and treatment delays. Solutions must address these legal ambiguities, which represent a primary barrier to equity in a nation with otherwise universal health coverage. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

However, until recently, a lack of data has constrained further exploration of gender differences in property ownership in the developing world. Using data from 41 developing countries, this paper contributes to the literature by investigating gender gaps in the incidence of property ownership among couples and the factors associated with these gaps, focusing on the role of legal systems. We find that in almost all countries, husbands are more likely to own property than wives. Across countries in our sample, husbands are, on average, 2.7 times more like than wives to own property alone and 1.4 times more likely to own property alone or jointly. Within countries, gender gaps in the incidence of property ownership are most pronounced for disadvantaged groups, that is, the rural population and the poorest quintile. These gender gaps reflect a variety of factors, including discriminatory laws with respect to inheritance, property ownership, marital regimes, and laws that protect from workplace discrimination. Countries with more gender egalitarian legal regimes have higher levels of property ownership by married women, especially housing, suggesting that legal reforms are a potential mechanism to increase women's property ownership.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Gaddis, I (Corresponding Author), World Bank Grp, 1818 H St NW, Washington, DC 20433 USA.

Despite this recognized need to train students to care for urban underserved patients, there is limited literature to guide schools and colleges of pharmacy in developing learning activities and curricula to meet this need. Methods: This study utilized a three-round modified Delphi process to develop learning competencies. Participation was solicited from pharmacy practice faculty members of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) Health Disparities and Cultural Competency Special Interest Group (SIG).

Results: The expert pool had a combined 235 years of pharmacy practice experience in urban underserved settings. Ten learning competencies were developed and finalized: Identified learning competencies related to the development of pharmaceutical and social knowledge base; development of pharmaceutical care and social skills; and building awareness of benefits and disadvantages of working with urban underserved patient populations. Discussion: The learning competencies described in this study provide schools and colleges of pharmacy a tool to help guide learning activity and curricular development to educate students to provide high-quality and compassionate care to urban underserved patients.

Little is known about LTPA in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and with expected declines in physical activity due to rapid urbanisation and lifestyle changes we aimed to assess the sociodemographic differences in the prevalence of LTPA in the adult populations of this region to identify potential barriers for equitable participation.MethodsA two-step individual participant data meta-analysis was conducted using data collected in SSA through 10 population health surveys that included the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire. For each sociodemographic characteristic, the pooled adjusted prevalence and risk ratios (RRs) for participation in LTPA were calculated using the random effects method. Between-study heterogeneity was explored through meta-regression analyses and tests for interaction.ResultsAcross the 10 populations (N =26,022), 18.9\% (95\%CI: 14.3, 24.1; I-2 =99.0\%) of adults (>= 18years) participated in LTPA. Men were more likely to participate in LTPA compared with women (RR for women: 0.43; 95\%CI: 0.32, 0.60; P <0.001; I-2 =97.5\%), while age was inversely associated with participation. Higher levels of education were associated with increased LTPA participation (RR: 1.30; 95\%CI: 1.09, 1.55; P =0.004; I-2 =98.1\%), with those living in rural areas or self-employed less likely to participate in LTPA. These associations remained after adjusting for time spent physically active at work or through active travel.ConclusionsIn these populations, participation in LTPA was low, and strongly associated with sex, age, education, self-employment and urban residence. Identifying the potential barriers that reduce participation in these groups is necessary to enable equitable access to the health and social benefits associated with LTPA.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Sandhu, MS (Corresponding Author), Univ Cambridge, Dept Med, Cambridge, England.

MDWs play a key role in enabling the work-life balance (WLB) of others, namely the middle-class households that employ them. Yet, their experiences have largely been invisible in mainstream WL literature. The authors draw on an intersectional approach to frame the WL experiences of this marginalized group of women at the intersection of being secondary labour segment workers, with significant legal and employment restrictions as migrant workers, who work and live in the same place as their employers. Design/methodology/approach Qualitative interviews were conducted with 13 women MDWs from Indonesia and the Philippines working in Malaysia. The women talked about the meaning of work as MDWs, how they maintain familial connections whilst working abroad, and how they negotiate their WLB as live-in workers. Thematic analysis of the interviews focused on the intersection of the women's multiple dimensions of disadvantage, including gender, class and temporary migrant-foreigner status, in shaping their accounts of the WL interface. Findings Three thematic narratives highlight that any semblance of WLB in the MDWs' lived experience has given way to the needs of their employers and to the imperative to earn an income for their families back home. The themes are: working as MDWs enables the women and their families back home to have a life; the co-existence of WL boundary segmentation and integration in relation to ``real{''} and ``temporary{''} families; and the notion of WLB being centred around the women's ability to fulfil their multiple duties as MDWs and absent mothers/sisters/daughters. Research limitations/implications - The study is based on a small sample of live-in women MDWs in Malaysia, intended to promote typically excluded voices and not to provide generalizable findings. Accessing potential participants was a considerable challenge, given the vulnerable positions of women MDWs and the invisible nature of their work. Practical implications - Future research should adopt a multi-stakeholder approach to studying the WL experiences of women MDWs. In particular, links with non-governmental organizations who work directly with women MDWs should be established as a way of improving future participant access. Social implications - The study underscores the existence of policies and regulations that tolerate and uphold social inequalities that benefit primary labour segment workers to the detriment of secondary labour segment workers, including women MDWs.

Little is known about the barriers which prohibit workers with long-term disabilities from returning to work and which interventions are best suited to counteract these barriers. The main purpose of this study was to obtain consensus among professionals on important return to work (RTW) factors and effective vocational rehabilitation (VR) interventions for long-term (> 2 years), partially disabled workers. Our three research questions were: (1) which factors are associated with RTW for long-term disabled workers?; (2) which factors associated with RTW can be targeted by VR interventions?; and (3) which VR interventions are the most effective to target these factors? Methods A modified Delphi Study was conducted using a panel of 22 labour experts, caseworkers, and insurance physicians. The study consisted of several rounds of questionnaires and one online meeting. Results The multidisciplinary panel reached consensus that 58 out of 67 factors were important for RTW and that 35 of these factors could be targeted using VR interventions. In five rounds, the expert panel reached consensus that 11 out of 22 VR interventions were effective for at least one of the eight most important RTW factors. Conclusions Consensus was reached among the expert panel that many factors that are important for the RTW of short-term disabled workers are also important for the RTW of long-term partially disabled workers and that a substantial number of these factors could effectively be targeted using VR interventions. The results of this study will be used to develop a decision aid that supports vocational rehabilitation professionals in profiling clients and in choosing suitable VR interventions.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Huysmans, MA (Corresponding Author), Vrije Univ Amsterdam, Dept Publ \& Occupat Hlth, Amsterdam Publ Hlth Res Inst, Amsterdam UMC, Van Boechorststr 7, NL-1081 BT Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Specifically, this study sought to explore the nature, factors, and psychological impact of their child's transition to post-school services. To achieve these aims, a qualitative, grounded theory approach was employed in which semi-structured interviews were conducted with a small sample of parents of children with mild intellectual disability living in the southern region of Ireland. The results indicated that the transition process was generally experienced as stressful, uncertain, and problematic, particularly in terms of the bureaucratic aspects. The experiential shift from school to vocational training and employment emerged as the most salient in parents' perceptions. Parents also identified a range of factors that served as barriers and supports of the transition process, in which the role of the parent emerged as a key facilitative factor. The findings suggest that considerable gaps remain between policy and service provision in Ireland regarding transition planning and postschool services for young adults with intellectual disabilities and their families, often posing barriers to successful transitions.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Coughlan, B (Corresponding Author), Univ Limerick, Dept Profess \& Educ Studies, Limerick, Ireland.

PMTO has been rigorously tested in efficacy and effectiveness trials in different contexts, cultures, and formats. Parents, the presumed agents of change, learn core parenting practices, specifically skill encouragement, limit setting, monitoring/supervision, interpersonal problem solving, and positive involvement. The intervention effectively prevents and ameliorates children's behavior problems by replacing coercive interactions with positive parenting practices. Delivery format includes sessions with individual families in agencies or families' homes, parent groups, and web-based and telehealth communication. Mediational models have tested parenting practices as mechanisms of change for children's behavior and found support for the theory underlying PMTO programs. Moderating effects include children's age, maternal depression, and social disadvantage.

This is an unconditional, nonwithdrawable income for every individual as a right of citizenship, and obligation-free (Parijs and Vanderborght, 2005). UBI can be received with other public benefits in kind (education, health, etc.) or in-cash, and therefore does not predict the Welfare State reduction. In addition, the right is strictly applied to the individual and the extension of the right to the family unit is not possible. Finally, its enjoyment does not imply any type of work or other compensation. Philosophical, political and economic justifications of UBI are of various kinds, although we can indicate three of them. It is a tool to reduce poverty and income inequality (Atkinson, 1993, Smith, 2014). Likewise, individuals are only free to be able to self-govern their private life and participate in public life when they possess the material means that allow them not to depend on others to live, being RBU a public policy that guarantees this fundamental right (Domenech and Bertomeu, 2005 Petit, 2013, Van Parijs and Vanderborght, 2005). Finally, UBI could compensate the initial unequal starting situation of individuals in society; that is, it serves to reduce inequality in the initial endowment of assets and resources obtained without there being a clear reciprocity in terms of productive activity previously carried out (Birnbaum, 2016). In this way, it is implemented as a mechanism to create equal opportunities (Rawls, 1971, Dworking, 1985, Roemer, 1998). But this purpose is not new, the first academic argument arises in the work of Paine in 1797, and he called citizen income (Cunliffe and Erreygers, 2004), which is reformulated by economists of great prestige on the XX century (Meade, 1938, Friedman, 1962, Tobin, Pechman and Mieszkowski, 1967). Later, Van der Veen and Van Parijs (1986), reopen the debate on their applicability in a context with high unemployment, being precursors of economic viability research for different territories: Europe (Callan and Sutherland, 1997), national contexts (Atkinson, 1995, Torry, 2015, Colombino et al., 2010) or local communities (Boffey, 2015). Already in the 21st century, the UBI has taken on greater relevance due to its translation into the political discussion, including the international arena (OECD, 2017). This interest has been propitiated by several events: the growth of inequality worldwide, which has also affected Spain and Andalusia (Piketty, 2014, Stiglitz, 2015, Milanovic, 2011, Ayala, 2016), technological advances and their effects on employment (Atkinson, 2015, World Economic Forum, 2016) and the evaluations of its real implementation in different contexts. These empirical estudies are showed it capacity to reduce inequality without generating disincentives to work as in the case of: Alaska (Goldsmith, 2010); Namibia (Haarmann and Haarmann, 2015); California (Altman, 2016) Utrech or Maastrich (BIEN, 2015), among others. Several studies about UBI viability and its impact on inequality for Spain have been carried out (Arcarons, Raventos and Torrens, 2014b, Oliver and Spadaro, 2004) as well as for the Basque Country and Catalonia (Arcarons et al., 2014a, 2005). In addition, different legislative initiatives have been promoted at the regional and state levels to support measures of this type (Martinez, 2008), although they have not prospered. In our work, we draw the economic viability of the UBI in Andalusia, an autonomous region of Spain. The funding proposal is based on replacing redundant economic benefits and an income tax reform in 2010. This year is significant because correspond al period of economic crisis, and there is not extra fiscal revenues from cicle economic. The first step affect the monetary assistance benefits. All of them are means-tested transfers, whose individual amount is not higher than UBI disappear and their total budget allocation is used to finance the reform. There are two benefits that exceed the amount of RBU granted to each individual, such as contributory pensions and unemployment benefits. In those cases, individuals continue to receive the amount that exceeds the UBI. The second step is a IRPF reform. All deductions are eliminated, the existence of an exempt minimum equal to the amount of the UBI and application of a linear rate of 49.5\%. We model a micro-simulation using a sample of individual respondents and non-respondents settlements of income tax from Institute of Fiscal Studies for 2010; as well as the information provided by different public administrations on the amounts of means-tested transfers. Our results show the reform makes affordable the financial viability of UBI in Andalusia. We evaluate two schemes for a population of 8,370,975 habitants in Andalusia in 2010. In the first, all residents receive 7.500 euros per month and the total budget is 62.782,31 millions of euros. In the second, children under 18 years old recieve 1.500 euros per month and the budget is 52.884,22 millons of euros. The first scheme generates a deficit estimated at 8,377.6 millions of euros. Conversely, the second scheme creates a surplus equal to 1,520.63 millions of euros. This surplus could allow to reduce the marginal tax or to increase the UBI, for example. Regarding their redistributive impacts are remarkable. The first scheme results show that the population among the first and the seventh deciles are winners, and three last deciles are losers. In the second scheme the winners are all population of two first deciles, more than 50\% population among the third and the seventh deciles, and less than 50\% for the rest of deciles. Effective tax rates are not quite different in both schemes. The effective tax rates in the first scheme are negative until fourth decile, are minor until sixth decile, and tenth decile put up 34,52\% effective tax. The indicators of inequality, concentration and progressivity show a large redistributive impact of the reform. When comparing the situation before and after the reform (gross income ex ante vs. net income ex post plus RBU), the Gini Index decreases by 23 percentage points in scheme one, and 19 percentage points in scheme two. This result is underestimating the total redistributive impact of the measure, since the population outside the microsimulation is not included in the analysis, as it is exempt from the current IRPF, which is a great beneficiary of the reform. The study provides solid evidence of financial viability of the hypothetical implementation in Andalusia of taxtransfer reforms embodying some version of a basic income policy. The reform shows great effectiveness as a measure to reduce inequality. However, the subsequent economic implications (impact on the labor market, poverty, etc.), social (criterion of justice, principle of reciprocity) or politic (conflict and pressure from interest groups) confirm the need of complementary studies, in order to be raised in the political agenda. In addition, RBU could serve as an instrument to obtain information about certain individuals and groups, that due to their personal or group characteristics, do not access the current subsidy system: lack of information, misunderstanding of adminstrative procedures, and other types of barriers they limit their request. Together, better social inclusion results would be obtained. Finally, the digital age is generating great economic and social changes. In this context, a RBU could play a decisive role, as an instrument of correction of technological unemployment, avoiding the increase of inequality and increasing equal opportunities. The fiscal viability calculation of RBU facilitates the way to further debates that provide useful information to design the political agenda.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Spanish}, Affiliation = {López, JA (Corresponding Author), Univ Seville, Seville, Spain.

METHODS: A comprehensive search of literature was conducted including published articles, books, and reports. Searches were also conducted on relevant government and disability employment related web sites. RESULTS: First, although larger employers are contributing to the discussion of ways to increase the employment of people with disability, small to medium employers are largely missing from the discussion. Second, reliance on the broad business case argument alone for employing people with disability, is not enough to change attitudes and organizational cultures that are at the root of the workforce exclusion of people with disability. CONCLUSIONS: The major barrier to employment of people with disability is negative attitudes that result in discriminatory organizational cultures. Current initiatives in this area are not addressing the needs or potential role of small to medium organizations.

Statements of professional unfitness for depression is of particular concern. The human and financial costs associated with the support of mental disability is important, in France it is estimated to 14 billion euros. Mental disorder in the workplace also has a significant impact on the individual. If not always leads to actual inability to work, it usually causes, from the disclosure of the disorder, professional inequalities related to perceived environmental work disability. Therefore, this type of public remains largely on the sidelines of a stable occupation and all forms of recognition and undergo disqualifications and some forms of exclusion. Instead of saving, the workplace can promote relapse and even constitute a real obstacle to improving health. These exclusionary behavior result in persistent employment resistance in France and elsewhere, especially because of the prejudice of employers. These resistances persist despite legal obligations in this regard (e.g. in France: Law of 11 February 2005 on Equal Rights and Opportunities). To address the issue of sustainable professional inclusion (recruitment, integration and job preservation) of people with mental disabilities, studies are especially developed for the rehabilitation in the workplace of this public or accompanying us in their professional reintegration into protected workplaces. We propose a reflection on the adaptation of knowledge about psychological processes of hiring discrimination in the particular employment situation of people with mental disabilities in ordinary workplaces. Researches on social representations, stereotypes and prejudices applied in the workplace help to understand the negative attitudes and resistance to the hiring of people with mental disabilities despite regulations. Representations of professional efficiency, cognitive bias in social perception, personological expectations and responsibilities about the success of the employment integration of new employees strongly impact the hiring and integration behaviors of actors of the company. Nevertheless, the influence of the organizational context was highlighted in the researches in psychology of organizations. Recruitment and integration practices implemented by organizations, the procedures used to recruit (procedural justice) and the quality of interpersonal treatment of individuals (interpersonal justice) are essential elements of socialization. Disability is recognized as a particularly salient dimension and effective in activating cognitive processes biased. Individual and/or collective courses of action as persuasive communication, suppression and dilution of stereotypes, self-regulation of prejudice, intergroup contact and the sharing of values, affirmative action, promoting diversity, are proposed to modify these psychological barriers. However, their effectiveness is moderated by various individual factors such as the level of prejudice of actors, their previous work experience of disabled workers, their commitment to the values promoted by the organization for example, or organizational and structural factors such as the characteristics of the organization, the degree of formalization of hiring procedures, social policy of the organization and how it is conveyed and received by workers... These studies support the conclusion that the process of professional inclusion of public considered as ``non-standard{''} is complex. These tracks remain to be tested under the mental disability taking into account the type of company and characteristics of actors that constitute them.

Although the symptom burden of these diseases is comparable to other cancers, patients do not access specialist palliative care (SPC) services as often as those with other cancers. To determine the reasons for this, we asked SPC practitioners about their perspectives regarding the barriers and facilitators influencing haematology patient referrals. Methods: We conducted a qualitative study, set within the United Kingdom's (UK's) Haematological Malignancy Research Network (HMRN:www.hmrn.org), a population-based cohort in the North of England. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 SPC doctors and nurses working in hospital, community and hospice settings between 2012 and 2014. Interviews were digitally audio-recorded, transcribed and analysed for thematic content using the `Framework' method. Results: Study participants identified a range of barriers and facilitators influencing the referral of patients with haematological malignancies to SPC services. Barriers included: the characteristics and pathways of haematological malignancies; the close patient/haematology team relationship; lack of role clarity; late end of life discussions and SPC referrals; policy issues; and organisational issues. The main facilitators identified were: establishment of interdisciplinary working patterns (co-working) and enhanced understanding of roles; timely discussions with patients and early SPC referral; access to information platforms able to support information sharing; and use of indicators to `flag' patients' needs for SPC. Collaboration between haematology and SPC was perceived as beneficial and desirable, and was said to be increasing over time. Conclusions: This is the first UK study to explore SPC practitioners' perceptions concerning haematology patient referrals. Numerous factors were found to influence the likelihood of referral, some of which related to the organisation and delivery of SPC services, so were amenable to change, and others relating to the complex and unique characteristics and pathways of haematological cancers. Further research is needed to assess the extent to which palliative care is provided by haematology doctors and nurses and other generalists and ways in which clinical uncertainty could be used as a trigger, rather than a barrier, to referral.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Howell, DA (Corresponding Author), Univ York, Epidemiol \& Canc Stat Grp, York YO10 5DD, N Yorkshire, England.

There was a strong social gradient which was significantly steeper in some countries than others. Ethnicity was another important factor underlying inequalities. While inequalities in patterns of intervention between the four countries were considerable, they did not mirror relative levels of deprivation in the child population.

The impact of the child's severity of injury, condition and adaptive functioning, as well as family sociodemographic factors were considered. Methods: The sample included 62 parents (53 mothers, 5 fathers, 4 mother-father pairs) of children diagnosed with neonatal stroke, hypoxia ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), and congenital heart disease (CHD) ranging in age between 3 to 9 years (mean age = 4.5 years, SD = 1.82). Results: In this sample, approximately 80\% of children were reported to have had utilized one or more therapies. The most frequent services utilized included: (a) speech and language therapy, (b) occupational therapy, and (c) physical therapy. Less than 10\% of sample reported utilizing any psychological therapies. Common family barriers to all interventions included time off work, lack of childcare, and transportation. Parents of children with more severe injury or condition reported that their children were utilizing a greater number of interventions and also perceived a greater number of barriers. Over half of the parents expressed a need for more parent support groups, remote psychosocial services, and individualized psychological therapy for themselves or their family. Conclusions: Findings highlight patterns of utilization and perceived gaps in early and school-age interventions for children with congenital or neonatal conditions that impact neurodevelopment.

They live within the city but are unable to take advantage of the comforts of urban life. This study focused primarily on access to health and education in street children from 6 to 18 years old in the Indian metropolises of Mumbai and Kolkata. The study also aimed to assess the role of social work interventions in ensuring the rights of street children. A combination of quantitative and qualitative research methodologies was used. Convenience sampling was used to recruit 100 children. Data were collected on a one-to-one basis through semi-structured interview schedules and by non-participant observation. Findings revealed that extreme poverty was the primary cause for the increasing numbers of street children. Lack of awareness among illiterate parents regarding educational opportunities kept most children away from school attendance. Factors such as lack of an educational ambience at home made it difficult for the children to work on their lessons outside the premises of the institution. It was evident that those living with their parents had better access to health care facilities than did those living on their own; however, nongovernmental organizations made significant efforts to redress this imbalance, setting up health check-up camps at regular intervals. Although exposure to harsh reality at an early age had resulted in a premature loss of innocence in most, making them sometimes difficult to work with, the nongovernmental organizations were striving to ensure child participation and the growth of individual identity. The interventionists therefore focused on developing a rights-based approach, rather than a charitable one.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Dutta, N (Corresponding Author), Univ Hyderabad, Sch Social Sci, Ctr Human Rights, Hyderabad 500046, Telengana, India.

It identifies some similarities in viewpoints, including about the unevenness of job changes caused by new technologies and about the declining labour income share, a key measure of inequality. However, there are major points of differentiation. The ILO, OECD and UNDP express serious concerns about the interaction between new technologies and growing inequalities, on the one hand, and a rise in precarious work, concentration of corporate power and erosion of labour bargaining power on the other. Also, UNIDO emphasises the inequalities in technological capacities between developed and developing countries, which make it difficult for markets to distribute the gains from growth evenly. While the World Bank makes some concessions, it remains less open to real-world heterodox evidence about how labour markets function in society.

Social accountability is an approach that could address provider-imposed barriers by empowering communities to hold their service providers to account for service quality. Yet little is known about the feasibility and potential impact of such efforts in the context of contraceptive care. We piloted a social accountability intervention-the Community Score Card (CSC)-in three public healthcare facilities in western Kenya and use a mix of quantitative and qualitative methodologies to describe the feasibility and impact on family planning service provision. Methods We implemented and evaluated the CSC in a convenience sample of three public-sector facility-community dyads in Kisumu County, Kenya. Within each dyad, communities met to identify and prioritize needs, develop corresponding indicators, and used a score card to rate the quality of family planning service provision and monitor improvement. To ensure young, unmarried people had a voice in identifying the unique challenges they face, youth working groups (YWG) led all CSC activities. The feasibility and impact of CSC activities were evaluated using mystery client visits, unannounced visits, focus group discussions with YWG members and providers, repeated assessment of score card indicators, and service delivery statistics. Results The involvement of community health volunteers and supportive community members - as well as the willingness of some providers to consider changes to their own behaviors-were key score card facilitators. Conversely, community bias against family planning was a barrier to wider participation in score card activities and the intractability of some provider behaviors led to only small shifts in quality improvement. Service statistics did not reveal an increase in the percent of women receiving family planning services. Conclusion Successful and impactful implementation of the CSC in the Kenyan context requires intensive community and provider sensitization, and pandemic conditions may have muted the impact on contraceptive uptake in this small pilot effort. Further investigation is needed to understand whether the CSC - or other social accountability efforts - can result in improved contraceptive access.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Onyango, DO (Corresponding Author), Kisumu Cty Dept Hlth, Kisumu, Kenya.

There are clear SDOH disparities present in the United States, many of which have been especially evident during the COVID pandemic. SDOH have become a greater focus of payers, including Centers for Medicare \& Medicaid Services (CMS). CMS has updated the reimbursement structure of Medicare and Medicaid to incentivize more SDOH-related interventions. Providers are also growing increasingly attentive to the SDOH needs of their patients, but often are unable to sufficiently address them outside of care settings. The combination of increased SDOH funding with inefficient mechanisms to meet patients' SDOH needs has led to the emergence of the for-profit SDOH industry. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the industry and identify its size, scope, and future implications. The authors conducted an analysis of for-profit SDOH companies using a third-party industry research platform. A collection of 58 companies was identified with \$2.4 billion in funding and a total valuation of over \$18.5 billion as of July, 2021. Two literature searches were conducted to support strategy recommendations for critically evaluating SDOH outcomes from these companies, and to determine the downstream effects they will have on community-based organizations also working to improve SDOH.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Goldberg, ZN (Corresponding Author), Thomas Jefferson Univ, Sidney Kimmel Med Coll, 1025 Walnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19107 USA.

This population, however, remains underserved and often ill-served in health care environments. Furthermore, interactions between system-and individual-level dimensions of access create barriers to service engagement. Within much of the extant literature surrounding health care barriers among LGBT people, the rich narratives and varied experiences of LGBT community members from diverse backgrounds have often been excluded. The current interview-based study was conducted with a sample of 40 self-identified LGBT adults living in New York City. Participants were recruited through flyers distributed to LGBT-specific social and health service organizations. Twenty-nine participants who discussed health care access as a major health concern were included in the current study. Framework analysis revealed barriers stemming from characteristics of services and providers (system-level) and characteristics of care-seekers (individual-level) as major health concerns. The root causes of system-level barriers were all attributed to social-structural factors that worked to exclude and erase LGBT people from the institutions that shape the health and mental health systems. Individual-level barriers were attributed to both individual and social-structural factors, such as health literacy and stigma. Participants linked access barriers to forgone care and to other health and mental health concerns within their communities. We argue that addressing barriers at the individual and sociostructural levels will better serve LGBT communities. Public Policy Relevance Statement Access to health and mental health services is a major health concern among LGBT community members. The LGBT population experiences poor health and mental health outcomes related to barriers to care. Policies set forth by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (e.g., nondiscrimination protections, expanded insurance coverage) remain important initiatives to promote equitable health care access and enhance the health and wellbeing of LGBT care-seekers.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Romanelli, M (Corresponding Author), NYU, Silver Sch Social Work, McSilver Inst Poverty Policy \& Res, 41 East 11th St,Seventh Floor, New York, NY 10003 USA.

To date, there is no valid data about media usage by the disabled in Germany. This survey consists of interviews with 610 individuals with visual, hearing or physical impairments, or learning difficulties. Expert interviews and focus groups complete the study. The findings of this study show that impairment comes with specific limitations as regards media access and usage. In general, people with impairments and in particular those with learning difficulties, access connected devices more rarely than the general population. They go on the internet less often and use it less for communication and information. Many blind people are offliners, in particular if they acquired the impairment in adulthood. Age is an important personal factor determining media usage. The interaction of age, impairment and other context factors in particular, leads to the extremely rare use of digital media by older people. The disabled are heterogeneous.

In recent decades, however, higher numbers of immigrants are choosing to settle in rural areas for lower costs of living, local job opportunities, and quality of life (Manitoba Labour and Immigration, 2015). In addition, larger numbers of privately sponsored refugees are being sponsored into smaller towns and cities (Rural Development Institute, 2016). Finally, the Government of Canada uses immigration as an intentional strategy to grow regional centres (Burstein, 2010). These shifts mean that rural areas are seeing larger numbers of immigration, without the benefit of years of extensive research to know how these areas are uniquely positioned to welcome newcomers, and what barriers and opportunities exist for integrating newcomers in rural areas. This article will explore the topic of newcomer integration in rural areas as it relates to language learning. Language is one aspect of integration that can promote all other aspects of integration in an intersectional (Anthias, 2008) way. As a newcomer has more language ability, they can have easier access in social integration, economic integration, cultural integration, as well as political and civic integration (Derwing \& Waugh, 2012). This article will examine the existing literature on rural immigration, related theory, and the unique nature of rural areas, including common barriers and opportunities.

Methods: This was a qualitative study adopting a social constructionist perspective using focus groups. The focus groups, conducted with all clinicians (medical and allied health), were audiotaped, transcribed and thematic analysis was undertaken. Clinicians were asked about the barriers to implementing four key recommendations from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines. Results: Barriers existed at (i) the individual clinician level; (ii) the clinical level in terms of the presentation of young people; and (iii) the service level. The key individual clinician level barrier was a stated belief that the guidelines were not relevant to the young people presenting to the service, with little evidence to guide practice. Related, the main barrier with regard to the clinical presentation was the severity and complexity of this presentation, often making the delivery of interventions like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) difficult. At the service level, a lack of integration with primary and secondary level care meant sequencing interventions according to guideline recommendations was difficult. Conclusions: There is a clear imperative to develop the evidence base to ensure that effective treatments for young people aged up to 25 years with severe and complex disorders that include comorbid conditions, suicide risk and psychosocial difficulties are investigated and disseminated. Furthermore, this work has highlighted the need for greater investment in models of care that ensure integration between existing primary and secondary care and enhanced specialist early intervention mental health services for young people.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Hetrick, SE (Corresponding Author), Univ Melbourne, Orygen Youth Hlth Res Ctr, Ctr Youth Mental Hlth, 35 Poplar Rd, Parkville, Vic 3052, Australia.

Some of these factors are barriers and others are facilitators. However, research has not determined whether the inhibiting and facilitating employment experiences of people with physical disabilities are similar across type of physical disability. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to compare the employment experiences of people with physical disabilities with three different disabilities including CP, MS, and SCI to determine whether these employment experiences are similar. METHODS: Homogenous focus groups were conducted with individuals with CP, MS, and SCI concerning their employment experiences. These 18 focus groups were conducted telephonically, audio recorded, and lasted approximately 60 minutes each. Data from each disability type was analyzed separately and across disability type. RESULTS: Two themes were common among participants in the three disability types: 1) Health and 2) Barriers to Overcome. However, there were differences among the disability types within these themes. Some of these differences were unique to MS. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides a perspective on working with CP, MS, or SCI informed directly by individuals living with these disabilities, whether they were employed or unemployed, and gives a voice to the employment experiences of the individuals.

Although the Thai Government started implementing these services in 2003, challenges in providing them still remain. This study aims to analyse the health system functions which support the interpretation and cultural mediation services of migrant health worker (MHW) and migrant health volunteer (MHV) programmes in Thailand. Methods In-depth interviews were conducted in two migrant-populated provinces using purposive and snowball sampling. A total of fifty key informants were recruited, including MHWs, MHWs, health professionals, non-governmental organisation (NGO) staff and policy stakeholders. Data were triangulated using information from policy documents. The deductive thematic analysis was classified into three main themes of evolving structure of MHW and MHV programmes, roles and responsibilities of MHWs and MHVs, and supporting systems. Results The introduction of the MHW and MHV programmes was one of the most prominent steps taken to improve the migrant-friendliness of Thai health services. MHWs mainly served as interpreters in public facilities, while MHVs served as cultural mediators in migrant communities. Operational challenges in providing services included insufficient budgets for employment and training, diverse training curricula, and lack of legal provisions to sustain the MHW and MHV programmes. Conclusion Interpretation and cultural mediation services are hugely beneficial in addressing the health needs of migrants. To ensure the sustainability of current service provision, clear policy regulation and standardised training courses should be in place, alongside adequate and sustainable financial support from central government, NGOs, employers and migrant workers themselves.

In this paper, we describe several aspects of the working conditions and workplace flexibility of women in cooperatives in the province of Teruel, a region that is characterized by its low population density. In addition, we study other aspects involved in the running of these organizations in the context of social economy, and how this could have potential benefits and advantages for the personal and professional development of women and their families. A greater understanding of these organizations will facilitate the development of actions aimed at strengthening business projects that contribute to integrate women's needs and the needs of their surrounding environments. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative analysis has been carried out through in-depth interviews, which have provided more detailed and extensive information than other available methodologies. The initial sample consists of 99 cooperatives, representing 31.03\% of the total population of cooperative entities in the province of Teruel, Spain. This sample was then filtered by selecting the cooperatives which have a greater percentage of female employees higher than male employees, or have more female than male directors, including those cooperatives which fulfilled both of these conditions. There resulting set of 12 cooperatives with a large number of female employees among its staff or with high female participation in their boards of directors. We subjected to semi-structured interviews, one per cooperative, of their partners and/or employees, using a semi-structured questionnaire. Results / Research limitations / Implications The results suggest that self-management allows greater flexibility than other forms of enterprise in areas such as conciliation or working conditions. Likewise, women recognize that their involvement with the entity must be greater, since their future employment depends on the survival of the cooperative. One factor that affects the reconciliation of family, work and personal life is the presence or absence of seasonality in the activities carried out by the cooperative. Internal measures for the seasonal adjustment of demand could contribute to improving the reconciliation and also to reducing inequalities between men and women. With regard to working conditions, there are opportunities for conciliation and timetable flexibility that rely on the goodwill and the climate of trust existing in the cooperatives. This issue is closely related to the good relations among its members, as evidenced by the opinions of the respondents and the presence of female leadership focused on greater collaboration and teamwork. It is noteworthy that these cordial relations extend even among the companies in the sector. Collaborative attitudes between cooperatives of the same sector of activity are frequent. Self-management allows the working day to be better and more easily adjusted to the specific needs of female employees as compared to other styles of management. In general, working hours are not cause for concern. Women are aware that if the activity requires a greater time investment, their commitment must be greater, since their future careers depend of the survival of the cooperative The good relations existing among the different cooperatives in the province are remarkable. The study emphasizes the establishment of mutually supportive relationships with other cooperatives and, in many cases, the use of synergies with the competing companies. This reinforces the expected behaviors for organizations based on inter-cooperation and networking. Due to the peculiarities of the context in which these cooperatives operate, mainly in rural areas, cooperatives can cover the needs of the partners, boost rural development, to improve trade activities, provide support and advice to access to new foreign markets; improve structures through integration processes and obtain competitive advantages with formulas of inter-cooperation with other groups. Regarding the support of the public administrations in issues related to paperwork or consultation and advisory services, no conclusive results have been obtained. Relations with public administrations, however, could be improved to take full advantage of the potential of wealth creation in cooperatives and to achieve greater effectiveness of policies of public support for the promotion of female entrepreneurship and social economy entities. The recognition of gender inequalities in the labor and business sphere by the Spanish government, expressed through the Gender Equality Act, should be taken into account when implementing administrative procedures for cooperatives in order to be more sensitive to women's necessities. Simplification of administrative procedures and a more individualised guidance and advice for female entrepreneurs in the social economy should be included in the agendas of public authorities. These measures become especially sensitive in territories such as Teruel, where the weakness of its business fabric and its relatively high rate of female unemployment are clear components of the economic stagnation of the province. Some questionnaire answers show that cooperative principles are present in these entities, as is the case in one company where the partners reported being satisfied and happy to contribute to the respect of agriculture and to promote environmental care. In addition to the financial income associated with participation in the cooperative, other non-economic ``intangible{''} benefits related to personal satisfaction and fulfilment derived from such participation should be highlighted. This added value must also be taken into account at the time of quantifying the benefits of both cooperatives and the social economy as a whole, and especially when formulating strategy and assessing the results achieved. Practical conclusions and original value The findings show that there is still a long way to go to achieve the reconciliation of personal, family and work life that allows full equality. This issue reveals the need for action, both institutionally, through a suitable framework of support measures, and internally, within the entities themselves, through incentives leading to the full implementation of these cooperative values and rules of conduct. Our results give new evidence of the internal and external social policies, and of institutional and business relationships of these cooperatives characterized by a high representation of women. It is also noted that self-management allows improve adaptation of the working conditions and flexibility of women in cooperative workplaces. Moreover, they realize that their involvement must be greater, since future employment depends on the survival of the cooperative. It would be interesting for future studies to compare these results with the equivalent relationships observed between shareholders and employees in other types of entities. Future research could also examine whether other factors, such as the size of the organization, can influence the existence of harmonious relations.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Spanish}, Affiliation = {Esteban Salvador, ML (Corresponding Author), Univ Zaragoza, Fac Ciencias Sociales \& Humanas, Escuela Univ, Zaragoza, Spain.

Early childhood care and education has a long history in Vietnam. As early as the 1900s, ECCE was provided to support women's work, as Vietnam was an agrarian society. Following independence of France in 1954, Vietnam was involved in war and associated hardship until the 1970s so it was not until the 1980s that large-scale reforms in education became a significant focus of the government. Early childhood care and education was made an official department in 1991. Throughout the 1990s and into the twenty-first century, universal access to ECCE has been a priority with remarkable achievements gained. However, access to ECCE in mountainous areas, amongst ethnic minority groups and for many disadvantaged people, needs improvement. Vietnam has made significant progress in meeting accessibility, affordability, accountability, sustainability and social justice goals in ECCE, ongoing investment, both financial and in terms of human resources, is required to continue strengthening ECCE more uniformly across the country.}, Type = {Article; Book Chapter}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Boyd, W (Corresponding Author), Southern Cross Univ, Sch Educ, Lismore, NSW, Australia.

Analysis of objectives, results and outcomes}, Journal = {CIRIEC-ESPANA REVISTA DE ECONOMIA PUBLICA SOCIAL Y COOPERATIVA}, Year = {2020}, Volume = {98}, Pages = {287-322}, Month = {MAR}, Abstract = {This study analyses, from the perspective of public economics, the Demographic Supplement for Motherhood (CDM) introduced in the Spanish Social Security System in 2016. This measure is a supplement added to the contributory pension received on retirement, widowhood or disability for women who began to receive a pension and who have had two or more children. It was introduced with two objectives in mind: to reduce the gender gap in pensions and to socially recognise the contribution of motherhood to the pension system. In this paper, a socioeconomic analysis of this measure is carried out. The objectives and issues of this measure are reviewed and its distributional effects are analysed. The main source of information are data provided by the Ministry of Employment and Social Security, in particular the Continuous Sample of Working History (MCVL). This is a new approach, with the focus being on public economics rather than on legal aspects and use of the MCVL data which, for the first time, includes measurements related to the CDM. The main objectives of this study are: 1) to estimate the impact that the CDM has had on the pension system during the first year of application; 2) to analyse the differences in treatment it generates; and, 3) to assess its distributional effects on the gender gap in pensions and on inequality among women. The study finishes with an analysis of other equality policies and puts forward the main conclusions reached and proposals for alternative measures. The results show that the CDM has affected 58.4\% of new female pensioners. The women who have benefitted most from this measure are those who receive a widow's pension (50.9\%), followed by retirement pension (39.8\%) and disability pension (9.2\%). Their sociodemographic characteristics show that 53.4\% of the supplement is paid to mothers with 2 children, while women not receiving CDM tend to have higher educational levels than those who are in receipt of the supplement. It also shows that self-employed workers tend to have more than one child and, therefore, receive the CDM in a greater proportion (62.5\%) than employed workers (57.5\%). The estimated cost of this measure amounted to 64 million euros in 2016 (approximately 0.05\% of the expenditure on contributory pensions), a figure that will increase considerably as the supplement is extended to future female pensioners. Among the main criticisms highlighted by this study is the difference in treatment this measure generates. It purports to be a measure which acknowledges the value of motherhood yet it discriminates against many mothers by excluding women who were pensioners before 2016 and who are the most affected, historically, by more unfavourable family and work structures. In addition, other categories excluded are mothers with only one child, women who took voluntary retirement, women who receive non-contributory pensions and women who do not receive any pension. Finally, the measure works against the principle of equality between men and women, promulgated by the European Union, because it discriminates against fathers. Another criticism is that the amount of the CDM increases as the pension rises and continues to be paid even when the maximum pension is reached. This means that those women with higher pensions benefit more from the supplement, which is contrary to measures applied in other countries. One suggestion to improve the equality of this measure is that the supplement should have an upper limit. Furthermore, its effect on reducing inequality has been insignificant. As a measure of equality between men and women, the CDM has reduced the gender gap between new pensioners (2.2\%) but its effect on the whole system is very poor (0.22\%). The pension gap between men and women in Spain is still very wide at a rate of 29.3\% and much more work needs to be done to reduce this gap. Finally, a pension system that gives women greater rights for raising children can reinforce traditional roles, discouraging mothers from entering the formal labour market and fathers from taking a break from their professional careers. This is why these measures are being questioned by the Court of Justice of the European Union in terms of equal treatment between mothers and fathers. The CDM does not address the causes of the problem of gender discrimination. It does not address discrimination in employment nor does it offer the support required in the workplace for reconciling maternity and paternity leave. It is ineffective as a stimulus to change labour behaviour of women because its effect is in the long term and it is an outdated measure that can be counterproductive. In light of these problems, the priority for the government would be to establish authentic equality policies which create opportunities for both men and women to develop their full potential. 1) labour market policies that eliminate gender differences (access to employment, wages and job promotion at work), improving the flexibility and the rationale of the working day, and 2) reconciliation policies related to family and work life, aimed at all workers, that recognise fathers and mothers as having co-responsibility for childcare. The following measures are proposed to reduce the gender gap in pensions: a) Replace the current CDM with an additional contribution period per child or a fixed amount supplement, in recognition of the period of time dedicated to bringing up children. If contribution years were added for accessing the pension, the number of women with contributory pensions would increase. To avoid the same negative aspects already highlighted, it should be implemented in a way that covers all kind of pensions and gives greater support to mothers of children with disabilities. b) Improve non-contributory (universal) pensions, which are those of lesser value. This measure would increase the number of women with pensions in their own right, thereby reducing the coverage gap and the pension gap of the total population (including non-pensioners). This extension is vital to stop the pension system being a welfare system (low coverage) and being outdated and out of touch (excessively linked to family relationships). Our further studies will be centred on these proposals with data provided by the MCVL in future years.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Spanish}, Affiliation = {Pérez, RG (Corresponding Author), Univ Valencia, Valencia, Spain.

Through the interactions between employers and employees, the engagement between the capitalist organization and gender subtext constructs the realities of workplace. Workers' responses to the structural, cultural, interactional and identity dynamics of the organization are to be understood within the triangle of skill, care and honour in capitalist organizational logic. Embedded in all these responses is a specific emphasis on virtuous female worker.

Many traditional workplace and educational practices and environments, however, are disadvantageous to people with disability and consequently are under-represented in the workforce and higher education. Design/methodology/approach - Contributing factors include exclusionary societal and employer attitudes and inaccessible built environments including lack of attention to paths of travel, amenities, acoustics, lighting and temperature. Social exclusion resulting from lack of access to meaningful work is also problematic. COVID-19 has accelerated the incidence of working and studying from home, but the home environment of many people with disability may not be suitable in terms of space, privacy, technology access and connection to the wider community. Findings - However, remote and flexible working arrangements may hold opportunities for enhancing work participation of people with disabilities. Instigating systemic conditions that will empower people with disability to take full advantage of ordinary working trajectories is key. As the current global experiment in modified work and study practices has shown, structural, organisational and design norms need to change. The future of work and study is almost certainly more work and study from home. An expanded understanding of people with disabilities lived experience of the built environment encompassing opportunities for work, study and socialisation from home and the neighbourhood would more closely align with the UNCRPD's emphasis on full citizenship.

Research into these inequalities has been limited by reliance on self-reported service use data that is potentially biased, or administrative data that lacks personal detail. We address these limitations and extend existing research by examining rates and correlates of cervical screening in a large epidemiological survey with linked administrative data. Methods: The cross-sectional sample included 1685 women aged 44-48 and 64-68 years from the Australian Capital Territory and Queanbeyan, Australia. Relative risk was assessed by logistic regression models and summary Population Attributable Risk (PAR) was used to quantify the effect of inequalities on rates of cervical cancer screening. Results: Overall, 60.5\% of women participated in screening over the two-year period recommended by Australian guidelines. Screening participation was associated with having children, moderate or high use of health services, employment, reported lifetime history of drug use, and better physical functioning. Conversely, rates of cervical screening were lower amongst women who were older, reliant on welfare, obese, current smokers, reported childhood sexual abuse, and those with anxiety symptoms. A summary PAR showed that effective targeting of women with readily observable risk-factors (no children, no partner, receiving income support payments, not working, obese, current smoker, anxiety, poor physical health, and low overall health service use) could potentially reduce overall non-participation in screening by 74\%. Conclusions: This study illustrates a valuable method for investigating the personal determinants of health service use by combining representative survey data with linked administrative records.

We aimed to develop and implement evidence-informed, validated tools to measure mistreatment during childbirth, and report results from a cross-sectional study in four low-income and middle-income countries. Methods We prospectively recruited women aged at least 15 years in twelve health facilities (three per country) in Ghana, Guinea, Myanmar, and Nigeria between Sept 19, 2016, and Jan 18, 2018. Continuous observations of labour and childbirth were done from admission up to 2 h post partum. Surveys were administered by interviewers in the community to women up to 8 weeks post partum. Labour observations were not done in Myanmar. Data were collected on sociodemographics, obstetric history, and experiences of mistreatment. Findings 2016 labour observations and 2672 surveys were done. 838 (41.6\%) of 2016 observed women and 945 (35.4\%) of 2672 surveyed women experienced physical or verbal abuse, or stigma or discrimination. Physical and verbal abuse peaked 30 min before birth until 15 min after birth (observation). Many women did not consent for episiotomy (observation: 190 {[}75.1\%] of 253; survey: 295 {[}56.1\%] of 526) or caesarean section (observation: 35 {[}13.4\%] of 261; survey: 52 {[}10.8\%] of 483), despite receiving these procedures. 133 (5.0\%) of 2672 women or their babies were detained in the facility because they were unable to pay the bill (survey). Younger age (15-19 years) and lack of education were the primary determinants of mistreatment (survey). For example, younger women with no education (odds ratio {[}OR] 3.6, 95\% CI 1 .6-8.0) and younger women with some education (OR 1.6, 1.1-2.3) were more likely to experience verbal abuse, compared with older women (>= 30 years), adjusting for marital status and parity. Interpretation More than a third of women experienced mistreatment and were particularly vulnerable around the time of birth. Women who were younger and less educated were most at risk, suggesting inequalities in how women are treated during childbirth. Understanding drivers and structural dimensions of mistreatment, including gender and social inequalities, is essential to ensure that interventions adequately account for the broader context.

They had to optimize health care delivery in the special circumstances in refugee camps and transit centres. Little is known about health care provision in border camps where a large number of migrants stay for only couple of hours. Previous studies emphasize that language barriers and cultural differences play a central part in the relationship between health workers and migrants inside the transit zone. The aim of the study was to identify specific characteristics of health care provision experienced by primary healthcare providers in order to prepare solutions on how to organise health care in refugee settings.MethodsTwelve thematic interviews were conducted in the middle of the most intense migration movements to the North-West Europe between November and December 2015 with health workers from Croatia and Slovenia. Interview transcripts were read, coded, reviewed, and labelled. We used qualitative content analysis.ResultsFour themes about the health service provision for refugees at Schengen border were identified. The circumstance when mutual understanding is poor and the consultation not successful, cultural differences represent a central barrier. Participants highlighted that the importance of respecting human dignity is crucial for the provision of basic medical care for migrants in transit.ConclusionSuccessful overcoming language barriers, respecting cultural differences, humanity, susceptibility to social deprivation and traumatic experiences are the key factors important for organisation of health care in transit centers and camps. This article gives some useful tips for healthcare workers and policy makers who are participating in health services provision for migrants and other refugees. Health workers should be prepared to work in special working conditions with a lack of resources. Their work would require timely planning and reflection on the organization of more transit camps.Trial registrationEthical Committee of the Republic of Slovenia approved the study as a project number 112/02/16.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Zagar, M (Corresponding Author), Med Fac, Dept Family Med, Poljanski Nasip 58, Ljubljana 1000, Slovenia.

Some believe this has created a barrier for those women who wanted to enter the workforce. This research was conducted to determine whether accessibility (cost and time) for different types of transport has a relationship with women's opportunity to work. The unemployment rate for Saudi women in 2016 was nearly six times that of Saudi men. Qualitative evidence suggests the high cost of private transportation is a limiting factor for women working in Riyadh (Bashraheel, 2009; Jiffry, 2012). However, studies have yet to quantify the relationship between the location of employment, the job participation rate, and commute costs. By using a commuter accessibility model based on the financial cost of commuting for four female employment sectors manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and education this research sets out to test the relationship between commute costs and employment for Riyadh women. The study, which provides the first comparative commute cost maps for Riyadh, looks at commute costs for driving alone, private drivers, street-hailed and app-based taxi services, and the new Metro system. The results show that when commute costs increase, employment among women decreases. This means that reducing commute costs, perhaps by allowing women to drive themselves to work, increases the opportunity for women to work. The research also showed that manufacturing is the least accessible sector for women and would benefit from new forms of transit such as car-pooling.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Wilhams, S (Corresponding Author), MIT, Civ Data Design Lab Bldg 10-485, Cambridge, MA 02139 USA.

Thereby, responding to patients' expectations significantly affects overall satisfaction with health care services because this dimension is most strongly associated with patient satisfaction. The purpose of this paper is to constitute the first quantitative large-scale study (n=1,512) in Cyprus and Greece exploring the level of satisfaction among third-country nationals (TCN) in relation to their health care needs. Design/methodology/approach The questionnaire used in this study has been developed and measured (Cronbach alpha =0.7) in a similar study in Greece (Galanis et al., 2013) and it has been used by other studies too (Vozikis, 2015). Findings The authors can conclude that participants' knowledge of the health system is not good as 70.2 percent that they do not have a good knowledge. The findings suggest that nearly one in two TCN faced problems in accessing clinics or communicating due to various factors. Practical implications - The findings of this study provide the context for further exploration of different means to improve cultural awareness amongst health and social care professionals, including multicultural training of health and social service providers and medical pluralist approaches that may be closer to migrants' cultural and health background. Overall, types of interventions to improve cultural competency included training/workshops/programs for health practitioners (e.g. doctors, nurses and community health workers), culturally specific/tailored education or programs for patients/clients, interpreter services, peer education, patient navigators and exchange programs (Truong, 2014). To the above, practices can also be added as multicultural education to all health professionals in order to develop enthusiasm and be able to acknowledge immigrants' difficulties. Adding to the above recommendation, interdisciplinary education with allied health professionals (psychologists, social workers and nurses) may lead to a more holistic approach of this group's needs, especially in the forthcoming health system where primary care will play a vital role. Social implications Access to the health system may lead to social inclusion of TCN in the local society and improve their quality of life. It is also important for TCN to feel that the current health system is aware of issues related to their social and cultural background; thus, it will make the health system and those who work look more friendly and approachable. Originality/value In an era of crisis and of great debate around a forthcoming National Health System, these findings indicate that healthcare providers in Cyprus will need to address several challenges in managing care for migrants. In order for that to happen, assessing patient satisfaction is thereby important in the process of quality evaluation, especially when dealing with population subgroups at higher risk of inequalities such as immigrants or ethnic minorities. Such studies help systems to develop by measuring their weaknesses and enhancing their strengths. Voicing clients/patients feedback is always helpful to minimize risks.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Panagiotopoulos, C (Corresponding Author), Univ Nicosia, Dept Social Sci, Sch Humanities \& Social Sci, Nicosia, Cyprus.

In the context of its Urban Eye Health Programme in Bhopal (India), the organisation launched a pilot approach aimed at developing an Inclusive Eye Health (IEH) model and IEH Minimum Standards. Accessibility audits were conducted in a tertiary eye hospital and four primary vision centres located within urban slums, addressing the accessibility of physical infrastructures, communication and service provision. The collection and analysis of disaggregated data inform the inclusion strategy and provide a baseline to measure the impact of service provision. Trainings of eye health staff and sensitisation of decision makers on accessibility, Universal Design, disability and gender inclusion are organised on a regular basis. A referral network is being built to ensure participation of women, people with disabilities and other marginalised groups, explore barriers at demand level, and guarantee wider access to eye care in the community. Finally, advocacy interventions will be developed to raise awareness in the community and mainstream disability and gender inclusion within the public health sector. Founded on principles of Universal Design, accessibility and participation, and in line with international human rights treaties, Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Sightsavers' IEH model ultimately aims to develop a sustainable, scalable and universally accessible system-strengthening approach, capable of ensuring more inclusive services to people with disabilities, women and other marginalised groups, and designed to more effectively meet the health needs of the entire population.}, Type = {Proceedings Paper}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Pregel, A (Corresponding Author), 35 Perrymount Rd, Haywards Heath RH16 3BW, W Sussex, England.

However, there is variation in delivery and outcomes. This study aims to understand processes that influence implementation using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to inform the design and delivery of services. Design An ethnographic study using observations and interviews with staff involved in service delivery. Data were analysed using a thematic analysis, followed by an abductive approach whereby themes were mapped onto the 31 constructs and 5 domains of the CFIR. Setting Four hospital sites in the UK delivering ERAS services for hip and knee replacement. Participants 38 staff participated including orthopaedic surgeons, nurses and physiotherapists. Results Results showed 17 CFIR constructs influenced implementation in all five domains. Within `intervention characteristics', participants thought ERAS afforded advantages over alternative solutions and guidance was adaptable. In the `outer setting', it was felt ERAS should be tailored to patients and education used to empower them in their recovery. However, there were concerns about postdischarge support and tensions with primary care. Within the `inner setting', effective multidisciplinary collaboration was achieved by transferring knowledge about patients along the care pathway and multidisciplinary working practices. ERAS was viewed as a `message' that had to be communicated consistently. There were concerns about resources and high volumes of patients. Staff access to information varied. At the domain `characteristics of individuals', knowledge and beliefs impacted on implementation. Within `process', involving opinion leaders in development and `champions' who acted as a central point of contact, helped to engage staff. Formal and informal feedback helped to develop services.

While fully supporting this request, this article nevertheless notices that, often, when it comes to the economic logic of current Europeanization, scholars have only taken a one-sided look at financial capital and financialization. What is needed is a deeper conceptual understanding of European labour and production processes and how their transnational organization is interwoven with both the European integration project and rising precarization. In an inter-disciplinary approach, combining critical political economy, economic and social geography, and the sociology of work and industry, this article seeks to tackle the problem and develops three main arguments. The first is that, long before the 2008ff. crisis, a mode of Europeanization as multi-scalar competitive integration developed, one that, basically, takes socio-spatial unevenness as a competitive advantage. The second argument is that the backbone of this competitive Europeanization mode is a transnationalized European regime of fragmented and flexible production. This regime particularizes labour and labour processes on all social scales, within and beyond nation-states, by putting them in a competitive relation to each other. The third argument is that due to permanent transnational restructuring and technological (digital) modernization, no stable socio-spatial division of labour within and among the European countries arises. Instead, permanently changing forms of labour's social polarization occur, a finding that questions classic ideas of social development through economic and technological modernization. Precarization, defined as the detachment of dependent labour working conditions from the means of integrative social participation, hereby describes a specific concentration of a nevertheless wider structural uncertainty that is inherent to both the mode of European integration and the regime of European production.}, Type = {Review}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Hürtgen, S (Corresponding Author), Univ Salzburg, A-5020 Salzburg, Austria.

The model covers their motivations for migration, the consequences in terms of the inequality and exclusion they may experience and the role of institutional responses at micro-, macro- and meso-level of intervention. Design/methodology/approach The paper is based on: (1) in-depth review of key literature studies on the foundation theories of international migration including sociology, economics, anthropology, psychology and human resource management, (2) analysis of theoretical approaches to medical migration across disciplines, (3) analysis of the international and national documentary sources of micro-, macro- and meso-level policies on migration and (4) analysis of evidence on best practices, solutions and aspirational changes across different levels of institutions. Findings (1) Migration of international medical graduates (IMGs) from developing countries to the US can be explained from a micro-, macro- and meso-level of analysis. (2) IMGs who identify as racial/ethnic minorities may experience unfair discrimination differently than their US-born counterparts. (3) Although political/legislative remedies have had some successes, proactive initiatives will be needed alongside enforcement strategies to achieve equity and inclusion. (4) While diversity management initiatives abound in organizations, those designed for the benefit of IMGs from developing countries are rare. (5) Professional identity groups and some nonprofits may challenge structural inequities, but these have not yet achieved economies of scale. Research limitations/implications Although it is well-documented in the US health care literature how ethnic/racial minorities are unfairly disadvantaged in work and career, the studies are rarely disaggregated according to sub-groups (e.g. non-White IMGs and US-born MGs). The implication is that Black IMG immigrants have been overlooked by the predominant narratives of native-born, Black experiences. In placing the realities of native-born Blacks on the entire Black population in America, data have ignored and undermined the diverse histories, identities and experiences of this heterogeneous group. Practical implications An awareness of the challenges IMGs from developing countries face have implications for managerial decisions regarding recruitment and selection. Besides their medical qualifications, IMGs from developing countries offer employers additional qualities that are critical to success in health care delivery. Considering organizations traditionally favor White immigrants from Northern and Southern Europe, IMGs from developed countries migrate to the US under relatively easier circumstances. It is important to balance the scale in the decision-making process by including an evaluation of migration antecedents in comprehensive selection criteria. Social implications The unfair discrimination faced by IMGs who identify as racial/ethnic minority are multilayered and will affect them in ways that are different compared to their US-born counterparts. In effect, researchers need to make this distinction in research on racial discrimination. Since IMGs are not all uniformly impacted by unfair discrimination, organization-wide audits should be in tune with issues that are of concerns to IMGs who identify as racial/ethnic minorities. Likewise, diversity management strategies should be more inclusive and should not ignore the intersectionality of race/ethnicity, nationality, country of qualification and gender. Originality/value Immigrant health care workers from developing countries are integral to the health care industry in the United States. They make up a significant proportion of all workers in the health care industry in the US. Although the literature is replete with studies on immigrant health care workers as a whole, research has rarely focused on immigrant health care workers from developing countries. The paper makes a valuable contribution in drawing attention to this underappreciated group, given their critical role in the ongoing pandemic and the need for the US health industry to retain their services to remain viable in the future.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Oikelome, F (Corresponding Author), Eastern Univ, St Davids, PA 19087 USA.

The analysis shows that the variability of regional employment rate can be explained by the two ACP factors individuated: territory characteristics and individual well-being. Regression analysis (10 regression models were developed for panel data and random effects all controlled for ages 55-64 years and over 65 s) has provided clear indications on the determinants: the first factor seems to have more influence on the employment rate in the case of over 65s while the second factor has a greater influence for workers aged 55-64.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Quattrociocchi, L (Corresponding Author), ISTAT Ist Nazl Stat, Via C Balbo 16, I-00184 Rome, Italy.

This paper takes a feminist political ecology approach to examine intersectional resistance to conservation policies in one of Indonesia's largest and most populous marine protected areas (MPAs), Wakatobi National Park. We show that current Park policies and management fail to account for the livelihoods and culture of local ethnic minority fishers. In response, and along lines of gender, ethnicity, and class, ethnic minority fishers resist conservation measures in novel ways. Justified by their moral economy, these include continuing to access natural resources surreptitiously, allying with each other, and critiquing authorities. While many fisherwomen face additional barriers due to local cultural gender norms, they resist by pursuing livelihood activities against their husband's wishes. A key mechanism for this gendered resistance is increased mobility for women, achieved through their clever use of new infrastructure. Concurrently, Park authorities work to regain control through `creative enforcement' by accepting bribes, intimidating locals, and wasting fishers' time - techniques that further expose class, ethnic, and gendered frictions. Overall, we find that MPA residents use resources differently across intersectional lines and reveal the extent to which everyday resistance can undermine conservation efforts if regulations ignore local needs. We thus stress the need for an intersectional and multi-scalar approach that is contextualized within local communities and wider infrastructures to improve marine conservation research and policy.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Lynch, M (Corresponding Author), McGill Univ, Dept Geog, 805 Sherbrooke St West, Montreal, PQ H3A 0B9, Canada.

According to the 2020-2023 roadmap of the Ministry of the Promotion of Women and Human Rights, the percentage of people with disabilities in Somalia is over 15 per cent of the total population. The Federal Republic of Somalia does not provide information on common forms of disability; there are still no databases due to the lack of a census. Somalia signed and ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) on 2 October 2018 and 6 August 2019 respectively. It did not sign and ratify the Optional Protocol, however. The Federal Republic of Somalia has not submitted any report, although it was due in September 2021. The reasons for the delay may be related to the Covid-19 pandemic. According to article 35 of the 2012 Constitution of Somalia, international agreements apply directly in domestic courts, which is the monist approach to international laws. The ratification of the CRPD meant its incorporation into the legislation of Somalia; the Law N degrees 134 creating the National Disability Agency (NDA) was promulgated in December 2018 and the Disability Bill drafted in 2019. The Constitution of Somalia contains provisions directly relating to persons with disabilities. According article 11 there is an equality between all citizens independently of their gender, religion (.) disability. No person shall be discriminated against based on (.) disability. In addition, the Constitution indirectly addresses disabilities through its article 12 which states that it is the State's responsibility to ensure that it does not violate rights through its actions, and makes reasonable decisions to protect the rights of any person from abuse by others. Furthermore, article 13 states that everyone has the right to life, and article 27 provides for socioeconomic rights such as a right to care. No one can be deprived of urgent care whatever the reason, including the lack of economic means. Somalia has numerous pieces of legislation that directly addresses disability. The key ones are: center dot Law 134 of 31 December 2018 creating the National Agency for Persons with Disabilities which is `mandated under paragraph 5(2)(e) to oversee the delivery of services, including social services for persons with disabilities'. center dot Article 2 of the Provisional Constitution sets out 14 grounds of discrimination including disability. center dot Article 27(5) recognises that persons with disabilities who have long suffered from discrimination must have the necessary support to realise their socio-economic rights. center dot The Ministry of Women and Human Rights drafted a disability law. This law is in its final phase of public consultation. Participants in this consultation process included persons with disabilities, representatives of civil society organisations and the Somali Bar Association. We did not find any case law in Somalia. However, the policies that directly address persons with disabilities are: center dot Roadmap 2020-2023 - Persons with disabilities and disability rights in Somalia. Following an audit on the implementation of a first roadmap, 2017-2019, this programme develops new issues, not foreseen in the previous one. center dot Development of a national social protection policy by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (18 July 2019). Its implementation (17 September 2019) aimed at establishing an inclusive social protection system that meets the needs of employable people with disabilities, to combat poverty and social exclusion. Social service programmes are thus planned and will consider existing policies, rights stipulated in the Constitution and laws. center dot Better protection and management of people with mental and mental disabilities: a) In response to allegations of mistreatment of these persons, the Government launches criminal investigations into the private institutions in charge of these persons with disabilities. The National Disability Agency will now be responsible for monitoring their living conditions. b) Creation of a toll-free telephone number for reporting abuse of persons with disabilities. c) Provision of legal defense for persons with mental and mental disabilities, by the Penal Code. Other than ordinary courts or tribunals, the Federal Republic of Somalia has an official body that specifically addresses the violation of the rights of persons with disabilities; the National Disability Agency whose role is to file a criminal complaint against any public and private entity that violates the rights of people with disabilities. Somalia has a National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). Its mandate includes the protection of disability rights. The NHRC has a broad mandate that includes monitoring the human rights situation in Somalia, investigating human rights violations, including torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment, and an advisory mission to the Government on the integration of human rights into legislation and policies. There are numerous organisations that represent and advocate for the rights and welfare of persons with disabilities in Somalia. These include Somali Union for the Blind (SUB), Somali Disability Empowerment Organization (SODEN), SAFDI Somalia Association Female Disability, Somali Women Development Centre (SWDC), Somali National Association for the Deaf (SONAD). These organisations contribute to the promotion of disability rights through awareness-raising. To improve their efficiency, they need to organise themselves in a national federation and improve their capacity through training including on disability and financial subventions. In the Federal Republic of Somalia, the Ministry of the Promotion of Women and Human Rights is initiated a comprehensive process to allow Somalia to overcome its delay in reporting to conventional bodies, due to the country's protracted civil war. The Ministry for the Promotion of Women and Human Rights and other line ministries are working on comprehensive legislation and policies for the protection of people with mental disabilities. The NDA (Law 134 of 31 December 2018) is responsible for removing barriers faced by persons with disabilities, holding the Government accountable for the protection of the rights of persons with disabilities, and ensuring the effective participation of persons with disabilities in all aspects of society; notably in the areas of governance and development. People with mental disabilities are very often victims of ill-treatment in private and public institutions. In view of the increasing number of allegations of ill-treatment, the State has launched criminal investigations against these institutions. The NDA is now responsible for monitoring the living conditions of these people with disabilities. In addition, a free telephone number has been created to report any mistreatment against them. Finally, persons with a mental disability now have a specific legal defense under the Criminal Code. A person who `does not possess the capacity for understanding and willpower' at the time of the commission of an offence should not be punished for an act constituting a crime. As a result, these individuals are not detained for offences committed because they are not found guilty. Although there are some good laws to foster disability rights, it is imperative that they are implemented if they are to make a difference in the protection of disability rights. A special attention should be called for women, girls, children as well as elderly people with disabilities. Moreover, the Federal Republic of Somalia has a duty to carry out a census of its population in general and of the population with disabilities in order to obtain precise data broken down by age, sex, region, and category of disability.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {French}, Affiliation = {Severin, M (Corresponding Author), Sci Po Bordeaux, LAM, Bordeaux, France.

Furthermore, throughout the life cycle, undernutrition contributes to increased risk of infection, poor cognitive functioning, chronic disease, and mortality. It is thus important for decision-makers to have evidence about the effectiveness of nutrition interventions for young children. Objectives Primary objective 1. To assess the effectiveness of supplementary feeding interventions, alone or with co-intervention, for improving the physical and psychosocial health of disadvantaged children aged three months to five years. Secondary objectives 1. To assess the potential of such programmes to reduce socio-economic inequalities in undernutrition. 2. To evaluate implementation and to understand how this may impact on outcomes. 3. To determine whether there are any adverse effects of supplementary feeding. Search methods We searched CENTRAL, Ovid MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and seven other databases for all available years up to January 2014. We also searched ClinicalTrials.gov and several sources of grey literature. In addition, we searched the reference lists of relevant articles and reviews, and asked experts in the area about ongoing and unpublished trials. Selection criteria Randomised controlled trials (RCTs), cluster-RCTs, controlled clinical trials (CCTs), controlled before-and-after studies (CBAs), and interrupted time series (ITS) that provided supplementary food (with or without co-intervention) to children aged three months to five years, from all countries. Adjunctive treatments, such as nutrition education, were allowed. Controls had to be untreated. Data collection and analysis Two or more review authors independently reviewed searches, selected studies for inclusion or exclusion, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias. We conducted meta-analyses for continuous data using the mean difference (MD) or the standardised mean difference (SMD) with a 95\% confidence interval (CI), correcting for clustering if necessary. We analysed studies from low-and middle-income countries and from high-income countries separately, and RCTs separately from CBAs. We conducted a process evaluation to understand which factors impact on effectiveness. Main results We included 32 studies (21 RCTs and 11 CBAs); 26 of these (16 RCTs and 10 CBAs) were in meta-analyses. More than 50\% of the RCTs were judged to have low risk of bias for random selection and incomplete outcome assessment. We judged most RCTS to be unclear for allocation concealment, blinding of outcome assessment, and selective outcome reporting. Because children and parents knew that they were given food, we judged blinding of participants and personnel to be at high risk for all studies. Growth. Supplementary feeding had positive effects on growth in low-andmiddle-income countries. Meta-analysis of the RCTs showed that supplemented children gained an average of 0.12 kg more than controls over six months (95\% confidence interval (CI) 0.05 to 0.18, 9 trials, 1057 participants, moderate quality evidence). In the CBAs, the effect was similar; 0.24 kg over a year (95\% CI 0.09 to 0.39, 1784 participants, very low quality evidence). In high-income countries, one RCT found no difference in weight, but in a CBA with 116 Aboriginal children in Australia, the effect on weight was 0.95 kg (95\% CI 0.58 to 1.33). For height, meta-analysis of nine RCTs revealed that supplemented children grew an average of 0.27 cm more over six months than those who were not supplemented (95\% CI 0.07 to 0.48, 1463 participants, moderate quality evidence). Meta-analysis of seven CBAs showed no evidence of an effect (mean difference (MD) 0.52 cm, 95\% CI -0.07 to 1.10, 7 trials, 1782 participants, very low quality evidence). Meta-analyses of the RCTs demonstrated benefits for weight-for-age z-scores (WAZ) (MD 0.15, 95\% CI 0.05 to 0.24, 8 trials, 1565 participants, moderate quality evidence), and height-for-age z-scores (HAZ) (MD 0.15, 95\% CI 0.06 to 0.24, 9 trials, 4638 participants, moderate quality evidence), but not for weight-for-height z-scores MD 0.10 (95\% CI -0.02 to 0.22, 7 trials, 4176 participants, moderate quality evidence). Meta-analyses of the CBAs showed no effects on WAZ, HAZ, or WHZ (very low quality evidence). We found moderate positive effects for haemoglobin (SMD 0.49, 95\% CI 0.07 to 0.91, 5 trials, 300 participants) in a meta-analysis of the RCTs. Psychosocial outcomes. Eight RCTs in low-and middle-income countries assessed psychosocial outcomes. Our meta-analysis of two studies showed moderate positive effects of feeding on psychomotor development (SMD 0.41, 95\% CI 0.10 to 0.72, 178 participants). The evidence of effects on cognitive development was sparse and mixed. We found evidence of substantial leakage. When feeding was given at home, children benefited from only 36\% of the energy in the supplement. However, when the supplementary food was given in day cares or feeding centres, there was less leakage; children took in 85\% of the energy provided in the supplement. Supplementary food was generally more effective for younger children (less than two years of age) and for those who were poorer/less well-nourished. Results for sex were equivocal. Our results also suggested that feeding programmes which were given in day-care/feeding centres and those which provided a moderate-to-high proportion of the recommended daily intake (\% RDI) for energy were more effective. Authors' conclusions Feeding programmes for young children in low- and middle-income countries can work, but good implementation is key.}, Type = {Review}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Kristjansson, E (Corresponding Author), Univ Ottawa, Sch Psychol, Fac Social Sci, Room 407C,Montpetit Hall,125 Univ, Ottawa, ON K1N 6N5, Canada.

However, co-morbidities are often more prevalent and severe than in the general population and have greater impacts on health status. Although compelling evidence exists about the health benefits of exercise in the HIV literature, many people living with HIV tend to be physically inactive. The purpose of this study was to use the Theoretical Domains Framework to investigate the barriers and facilitators to participation in exercise of older people living with HIV. This qualitative study involved in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 12 adults aged 45 years and older recruited from HIV organizations and health centres. Data were analyzed thematically using the Theoretical Domains Framework, and two investigators independently coded transcripts. Six prominent domains were identified from the interviews: Social influences, environmental context and resources, reinforcement, intentions, social and professional role, and knowledge. Themes emerging from the interviews fit into all 14 domains of the Theoretical Domains Framework, and 67\% of themes fit into the six most prominent domains. The participants had a working knowledge of exercise and its health benefits but were unfamiliar with specific exercise parameters. The majority identified environmental or resource constraints as salient barriers for participation in exercise programmes. Co-morbidities, injuries, and the side effects of HIV disease and medication were also acknowledged as barriers. Stigma and discrimination from friends, family, people within the LGBTQ community, and health care providers were commonly discussed. Participants spoke of the importance of social support to facilitate participation in exercise programmes. Other facilitators included using technology and incorporating exercise into day-to-day activities. People aging with HIV experience many barriers to exercise. Those designing exercise interventions for people aging with HIV should incorporate strategies to address these obstacles.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Quigley, A (Corresponding Author), Dalhousie Univ, Sch Physiotherapy, Off 421 Forrest Bldg,5869 Univ Ave,POB 15000, Halifax, NS B3H 4R2, Canada.

Objective To determine the relationship between healthcare worker (HCW) reporting willingness to work during a pandemic and perception of job importance, belief that one will be asked to work, and sense of professionalism and to assess HCW's opinions regarding specific policy issues as well as barriers and motivators to work during a pandemic. Methods A survey was conducted in HCWs at The Children's Hospital in Denver, Colorado, from February to June 2007. Characteristics of workers reporting willingness to work during a pandemic were compared with those who were unwilling or unsure. Importance of barriers and motivators was compared by gender and willingness to work. Results Sixty percent of respondents reported willingness to work (overall response rate of 31\%). Belief one will be asked to work (OR 4 center dot 6, P < 0 center dot 0001) and having a high level of professionalism (OR 8 center dot 6, P < 0 center dot 0001) were associated with reporting willingness to work. Hospital infrastructure support staffs were less likely to report willingness to work during a pandemic than clinical healthcare professionals (OR 0 center dot 39, P < 0 center dot 001). Concern for personal safety, concern for safety of family, family's concern for safety, and childcare issues were all important barriers to coming to work. Conclusions Educational programs should focus on professional responsibility and the importance of staying home when ill. Targeted programs toward hospital infrastructure support and patient and family support staff stressing the essential nature of these jobs may improve willingness to work.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Cowden, J (Corresponding Author), Keesler Pediat Clin, Dept Pediat, Keesler Med Ctr, 301 Fisher St,Room BF 305, Keesler AFB, MS 39534 USA.

Accordingly, the Gallup study of attitudes toward immigration found people in Europe the most negative in the world towards immigration. The majority of residents (52\%) said immigration levels in their countries should be decreased. And all that while migrants constitute the 4.6\% of the European population, a percentage which could be `translated' into numbers as 20 million of migrants. Consequently, the aforementioned situation invokes a matter of intricacy in order for the NGOs and other organizations, who are dealing with the issue of the integration of migrants and refugees, to work and emphasize on the notions of global interdependencies and equality, with the oversimplified argumentation occurs to be the wide range of resources that strengthen the dominant narrative. The innovative character of the project FATI (From Alienation to Inclusion, https://www.projectfati.com) lies on the effective collaboration of the project partners, who are seeking to create activities by developing a unique on-line environment which contains comprehensive training modules on social integration of migrants and refugees into EU societies, while seeking to eliminate all those social, linguistic and psychological barriers which prevent migrants and refugees from being integrated in the new environment. Also, the environment of the project is being endowed with a variety of other pioneer digital tools and applications, specially designed for the creation and establishment of a strong network amongst European NGOs, social enterprises and charities for migrants and refugees, thus forming strong alliances. Accordingly, the ultimate aim of the project is to bring together such organizations, thus adopting a more collective and therefore effective action. Simultaneously, the e-platform involves the wider EU public, mainly through the `Library of Commodities' which operates for the purpose of provision of humanitarian aid, as the wider European public gains the opportunity to offer its used objects to refugee settlements located in the partner-countries. Additionally, through a `Directory of European NGOs, social enterprises and charities for migrants and refugees', being created as a part of the outputs of the project, a strong network of such organizations emerges, therefore allowing their actions to acquire global dimension, primarily by using volunteers and services of other EU organizations located in other countries; such operation is being considered the initial point for the development of a mutual European policy on migrants and refugees.}, Type = {Proceedings Paper}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Juzeleniene, S (Corresponding Author), Vilnius Univ, Vilnius, Lithuania.

Objective: to explore family, socioeconomic, housing, and support network risk factors that could affect adherence to medical treatment in children and adolescents diagnosed with cancer. Patients and Method: Descriptive observational study in pediatric oncology hospitals of a national cancer program. Through a ``Social Care Form{''} applied to 104 caregivers of children and adolescents, between August 2019 and March 2020, socioeconomic data of children diagnosed with cancer were recorded in four dimensions: i) Individual/family/health; ii) Work/education/so-cioeconomic; iii) Housing/environment; and iv) Participation/support networks. Results: 99\% of the children and adolescents were registered in the public health system; 69\% belonged to the lowest income brackets. Care for children and adolescents was mainly provided by the mother (91\%). 79\% reported living in a house; 48\% owned or were paying for their home. Housing quality was described as good (70\%), with low levels of overcrowding. 56\% of households had access to Wi-Fi internet con-nection, while 27\% reported no access. The main support network reported was the family (84\%). Conclusions: Family, socioeconomic, housing, and support network risk factors were observed in children and adolescents diagnosed with cancer; socioeconomic and gender aspects highlight the social inequalities in these families.

In Guatemala, multiple barriers prevent access to healthcare services for rural and indigenous populations, and strategies for delivering healthcare in more efficient ways are needed. The case study we describe here is a unique collaboration between a microfinance institution (Friendship Bridge) and a primary care organization (Wuqu' Kawoq vertical bar Maya Health Alliance) to scale up healthcare through an existing lending-borrowing social network. The program provides primary care services to female clients of Friendship Bridge in rural areas of Guatemala, with nurses working as frontline primary care providers, providing door-to-door healthcare services. Over the first 22 months of the project, we have reached over 3500 of Friendship Bridge's clients, with overall high acceptance of services. All clinical documentation and program monitoring and evaluation are done through audit trails within an electronical medical record system, which improves efficiency and lowers the associated time and resources costs. We utilize quality improvement methodologies to aid in decision making and programmatic adjustments scale up. These strategies have allowed us to expand services rapidly under challenging geographic and logistical constraints, while concurrently iteratively improving staff training and supervision, clinical care, and client engagement processes.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Rohloff, P (Corresponding Author), Wuqu Kawoq Maya Hlth Alliance, Santiago Sacatepequez, Guatemala.

The purpose of this report is to review barriers to immunization of preschool children living in pockets of need and to discuss current issues in the identification of and implementation of interventions within these areas. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention administers a federal grants program that funds state and metropolitan immunization programs. This program promotes a three-pronged approach for addressing pockets of need: (1) identification of target areas, (2) selection and implementation of programmatic strategies to improve immunization coverage, and (3) evaluation of progress or impact. At each step, scientific evidence can guide programmatic efforts. While there is evidence that state and metropolitan immunization programs are currently making efforts to address pockets of need, much work remains to be done to improve. immunization coverage levels in pockets of need. Public health agencies must take on a broadened role of accountability, new partnerships must be forged, and it may be necessary to strengthen the oversight authority of public health. These tasks will require a concentration and redirection of resources to support the development of an immunization delivery infrastructure capable of ensuring the timely delivery of immunizations to the most vulnerable of America's children.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Santoli, JM (Corresponding Author), CDC, Natl Immunizat Program, Ctr Dis Control \& Prevent, 1600 Clifton Rd NE,Mailstop E-52, Atlanta, GA 30333 USA.

Background: Employment rates for persons with disabilities in Armenia have been variously reported between eight and 21\%, much below the general employment rate of 82\%. Method: First, a Participatory Action Research process led to the development of a 15 item self-report measure - the Perceived Barriers to Employing Persons with Disabilities Scale - which was administered to 158 employers. Second, respondent data were examined to determine psychometric properties of the scale and to inform strategic recommendations for policy development. Findings: Exploratory factor analysis resulted in the removal of 6 items, leaving a 9 item scale. Responses produced a multidimensional scale clustering around 2 factors. The first of these, structural issues, was principally informed by employer perceptions of limited skill levels of persons with disabilities, high costs associated with employing persons with disabilities, and the lack of accessibility within facilities. The second factor, social issues, was informed by employers' anticipation of negative reactions of coworkers, customers and supervisors toward persons with disabilities entering the workforce. Employers also indicated a belief that persons with disabilities with skills should be entitled to work. Discussion and Conclusion: Results of this study suggest that attitudes of Armenian employers toward people with disabilities, and subsequent hiring decisions, are partly informed by perceptions of the negative reactions of others within the workplace. This finding disagrees with studies from other jurisdictions, which generally consider that these attitudes are principally informed by perceived skills deficits on the part of people with disabilities. These results would support the development of employer-focused information and awareness campaigns designed to address both of these factors.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Breen, J (Corresponding Author), Univ British Columbia, Sch Social Work, 2080 West Mall, Vancouver, BC V6T 2B5, Canada.

This is paradoxical as it implies that the FI drive could especially leave the core-poor behind. This study offers a perspective on the foundations of the expectations of the FI-PR drive and the possible reasons for the paradox. The study then investigates the paradox from a different, indirect and independent perspective. Models are estimated for the FI-income and income-FI linkages using variables derived from a 2013 Malawi national household survey. The results indicate a bi-directional positive FI-income relationship and a negative poverty/low income-FI one implying support for the FI-PR push but also supporting the poverty-FI barrier effect. Other unsettling but familiar results indicate that the brunt of the FI-poverty imbalance is borne by the obviously weaker segments of society because poverty itself is associated with households that are larger, headed by those who are females, older, and with lower educational levels. The major implications of the present findings are dire in that the brokerage approach to reduce poverty via FI would not be a reliable one for the very low-income, the core-poor. These would need unconventional FI interventions and improvements on the direct PR approaches including addressing production and employment outcomes.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Kaluwa, B (Corresponding Author), Univ Malawi, Chancellor Coll, Dept Econ, POB 280, Zomba, Malawi.

Reasons for this remain unclear, but factors such as the kinds of treatment provided, perceptions of treatment efficacy, social stigma and traditional treatment beliefs have been suggested as possible barriers to treatment seeking. This descriptive study examined the availability and nature of problem drinking treatment facilities in Khayelitsha, a largely poor township of Black, Xhosa-speaking Africans, on the outskirts of Cape Town. Seven treatment facilities for problem drinking in adult males were identified using data from the Department of Social Development in the City of Cape Town. Staff members were identified as key informants at each of the treatment facilities, and were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. Twelve interviews were conducted. Findings indicated that the available alcohol treatment facilities were relatively new, that treatment modalities varied both across and within treatment facilities, and that treatment was provided largely by social workers. Treatment facilities did not accommodate overnight stay for patients, operated during weekday office hours, and commonly referred patients to the same psychiatric hospital. The study provides a baseline for assessing barriers to treatment for problem drinking in Khayelitsha by highlighting the nature of available facilities as playing a predominantly screening role with associated social work services, and a point of referral for admission to a psychiatric institution for treatment. The social and financial implications of such referral are pertinent to the discussion of treatment barriers.

A Systematic Review}, Journal = {CLINICAL ORTHOPAEDICS AND RELATED RESEARCH}, Year = {2023}, Volume = {481}, Number = {7}, Pages = {1307-1318}, Month = {JUL}, Abstract = {BackgroundOrthopaedic surgery is the surgical specialty with the lowest proportion of women. Conflicting evidence regarding the potential challenges of pregnancy and parenthood in orthopaedics, such as the implications of delayed childbearing, may be a barrier to recruitment and retainment of women in orthopaedic surgery. A summary of studies is needed to ensure that women who have or wish to have children during their career in orthopaedic surgery are equipped with the relevant information to make informed decisions.Questions/purposesIn this systematic review, we asked: What are the key gender-related barriers pertaining to (1) family planning, (2) pregnancy, and (3) parenthood that women in orthopaedic surgery face?MethodsEmbase, MEDLINE, and PsychINFO were searched on June 7, 2021, for studies related to pregnancy or parenthood as a woman in orthopaedic surgery. Inclusion criteria were studies in the English language and studies describing the perceptions or experiences of attending surgeons, trainees, or program directors. Studies that sampled surgical populations without specific reference to orthopaedics were excluded. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were performed to identify important themes. Seventeen articles including surveys (13 studies), selective reviews (three studies), and an environmental scan (one study) met the inclusion criteria. The population sampled included 1691 attending surgeons, 864 trainees, and 391 program directors in the United States and United Kingdom. The Risk of Bias Instrument for Cross-Sectional Surveys of Attitudes and Practices tool was used to evaluate the risk of bias in survey studies. A total of 2502 women and 560 men were sampled in 13 surveys addressing various topics related to pregnancy, parenthood, and family planning during an orthopaedic career. Three selective reviews provided information on occupational hazards in the orthopaedic work environment during pregnancy, while one environmental scan outlined the accessibility of parental leave policies at 160 residency programs. Many of the survey studies did not report formal clarity, validity, or reliability assessments, therefore increasing their risk of bias. However, our analysis of the provided instruments as well as the consistency of identified themes across multiple survey studies suggests the evidence we aggregated was sufficiently robust to answer the research questions posed in the current systematic review.ResultsThese data revealed that many women have witnessed or experienced discrimination related to pregnancy and parenthood, at times resulting in a decision to delay family planning. In one study, childbearing was reportedly delayed by 67\% of respondents (304 of 452) because of their career choice in orthopaedics. Orthopaedic surgeons were more likely to experience pregnancy complications (range 24\% to 31\%) than the national mean in the United States (range 13\% to 17\%). Lastly, despite these challenging conditions, there was often limited support for women who had or wished to start a family during their orthopaedic surgery career. Maternity and parental leave policies varied across training institutions, and only 55\% (56 of 102) of training programs in the United States offered parental leave beyond standard vacation time.ConclusionThe potential negative effects of these challenges on the orthopaedic gender gap can be mitigated by increasing the availability and accessibility of information related to family planning, parental leave, and return to clinical duties while working as a woman in orthopaedic surgery. Future research could seek to provide a more global perspective and specifically explore regional variation in the environment faced by pregnancy or parenting women in orthopaedic surgery.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Morrison, LJ (Corresponding Author), 1-2001 34 Ave Southwest, Calgary, AB T2T 2C4, Canada.

This article discusses gender relations and how they determine development outcomes, based on a highland-lowland case-study of participants of Farmer Field Schools in Kakamega Central Sub-County (highland) and Mbeere South Sub-County (lowland). The gender relations at stake include the gendered division of labour, gender roles and intra-household power relations as expressed in access and control of resources and benefits and their implications for agricultural development. The study used mixed methods, the Harvard Analytical Framework of gender roles and draws on the Neo-Marxist position on exploitation, categorisation and institutionalisation of power relations, empowerment and the critical moments framework to discuss the results. Results in both Sub-Counties show that patriarchy prevails, determining institutional design, access and control of resources and benefits. Social positions shape capabilities and strategies of actors in decision-making and use of resources to justify gender-specific institutional arrangements. In Kakamega, men get the lion share of incomes from contracted sugarcane farming despite overburdening workloads on women, while in Mbeere, both men and women derive incomes from Khat (Catha Edulis) enterprises. However, women are expected to spend their earnings on household expenditures, which were hitherto responsibilities of men, thereby contributing to the feminisation of responsibilities. Development policies and interventions thus need to be based on an understanding of men and women's differential access and control over resources and the institutions underpinning men and women's bargaining power in order to adopt more effective measures to reduce gender inequalities. ResumenAnalizar los roles de genero como un elemento de organizacion social de una comunidad es fundamental para comprender los fundamentos de las y los actores y su agencia con respecto a la asignacion y uso de los recursos. Este articulo analiza las relaciones de genero y como estas determinan los resultados del desarrollo, basandose en un estudio de caso de participantes de las tierras altas y bajas de Farmer Field Schools en el subcondado Kakamega (tierras altas) y el subcondado de Mbeere (tierras bajas). Las relaciones de genero en cuestion incluyen la division del trabajo por genero, los roles de genero, las relaciones de poder intra-hogar expresadas en el acceso y control de los recursos y los beneficios y sus implicancias para el desarrollo agricola. El estudio utiliza metodos mixtos, el Marco Analitico de Harvard sobre los roles de genero y se basa en una postura neomarxista sobre la explotacion, la categorizacion y la institucionalizacion de las relaciones de poder, el empoderamiento y el marco analitico de momentos clave para analizar los resultados. En ambos subcondados, los resultados muestran que prevalece el patriarcado, determinando el diseno institucional, el acceso y control de los recursos y beneficios. Las posiciones sociales dan forma a las capacidades y las estrategias de los actores en la toma de decisiones y uso de recursos para justificar los arreglos institucionales especificos de genero. En Kakamega, los hombres se quedan con la mayor parte de los ingresos del cultivo contratado de la cana de azucar a pesar de la sobrecarga de trabajo que hay sobre las mujeres, mientras que en Mbeere, tanto estas como los varones obtienen ingresos de los emprendimientos del khat (Catha edulis). Sin embargo, se espera que las mujeres utilicen sus ingresos para gastos del hogar, los que solian ser responsabilidad de los hombres, contribuyendo asi a la feminizacion de las responsabilidades. Las politicas e intervenciones de desarrollo por lo tanto necesitan basarse en un entendimiento del diferente acceso y control de los recursos entre hombres y mujeres y de las instituciones que apuntalan el poder de negociacion entre ambos para poder adoptar medidas mas efectivas para reducir las desigualdades de genero. ???????????????????,???????????????????????????????????????(??)????????( ??)???????????????????,??????,?????????????????????????????,????,??????? ????,?????????????,?????????????????????,?????????????,????????????????? ?????????,??????????????,????????????????????,???????,?????????????????? ????????????????????????,???????,??????????????????,???????????????????? ?,????????????????;?????,???????????????(????)??,???????????????????,??? ???????,????????????????????????????????????????,????????????????,?????? ???????????}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Bikketi, E (Corresponding Author), Univ Bern, Ctr Dev \& Environm, Bern, Switzerland.

In this region, land vulnerability to desertification strongly depends on the interplay between natural and anthropogenic factors. The present study proposes a multivariate exploratory analysis of the relationship between the spatial distribution of land vulnerability to desertification and the socioeconomic contexts found in three geographical divisions of Italy (north, center and south) based on statistical indicators. A total of 111 indicators describing different themes (demography, human settlements, labor market and human capital, rural development, income and wealth) were used to discriminate vulnerable from non-vulnerable areas. The resulting socioeconomic profile of vulnerable areas in northern and southern Italy diverged significantly, the importance of demographic and economic indicators being higher in southern Italy than in northern Italy. On the contrary, human settlement indicators were found more important to discriminate vulnerable and non-vulnerable areas in northern Italy, suggesting a role for pen-urbanization in shaping the future vulnerable areas. An in-depth knowledge of the socioeconomic characteristics of vulnerable land may contribute to scenarios' modeling and the development of more effective policies to combat desertification.

However, not enough medical graduates choose to work in rural and regional areas, especially in general practice. The career decisions of recent medical graduates are known to be affected by a variety of professional, societal and personal factors. Internationally, medical programmes have exposed students to regional and rural experiences partly to encourage them to seek employment in these areas after graduation. As such, the Pukawakawa Programme is a year-long regional and rural experience for selected Year 5 students from the University of Auckland's Medical Programme in New Zealand in partnership with the Northland District Health Board and two Primary Health Organisations. A lack of clarity about the drivers of rural and regional career decisions underpinned this study, which aimed to explore the barriers and encouragers for students of the programme to return as resident medical officers to the regional hospital where they had gained clinical experience. Methods: A mixed-method, descriptive design was used, including a short survey, followed by participation in a focus-group discussion or a one-on-one interview. Survey data were summarised in tabular form and inductive, thematic analysis was applied to transcripts of focus groups and interviews. Results: Nineteen doctors in their first or second year following graduation participated: 15 who had returned to the hospital where they had clinical experience in the programme and four who were employed elsewhere. `A match of personal goals and intended career intentions' was the reason most frequently selected for junior doctors' choice of early career employment. Other frequently selected reasons were lifestyle, friends and family close by, and the reputation and experience of the Pukawakawa Programme. Qualitative data revealed that the learning experience, the unique design of the curriculum and associated support from clinicians were identified as important factors in encouraging students to work in regional and rural environments. However, discouraging factors included separation from friends and families, geographical isolation and the lack of opportunities for partners to find work. Conclusions: This study has confirmed the value of the Pukawakawa Programme as an important contributor to the regional and rural workforce of the Northland District, New Zealand. The value of an academic-clinical partnership has been shown to support a regional and rural clinical learning environment. Evidence is provided of one way of having overcome barriers to building regional and rural workforce capacity in this district.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {McKillop, A (Corresponding Author), Univ Auckland, Fac Med \& Hlth Sci, Sch Nursing, Auckland, New Zealand.

However, some rural residents continue to confront significant barriers to obtaining healthcare. The primary objective of this study was to investigate self-reported morbidity, health literacy, and healthcare preferences, utilization, and experiences in order to identify priority areas for government health policies and programs. Drawing on 66 semi-structured interviews and 300 household surveys (including 1693 individuals), administered in 26 rural villages in Tamil Nadu's Krishnagiri district, we found that the prevalence of self-reported major health conditions was 22.3\%. There was a large burden of non-communicable and chronic diseases, and the most common major morbidities were: connective tissue problems (7.6\%), nervous system and sense organ diseases (5.0\%), and circulatory and respiratory diseases (2.5\%). Increased age and decreased education level were associated with higher odds of reporting most diseases. Low health literacy levels resulted in individuals seeking care only once pain interfered with daily activities. As such, individuals' health-seeking behaviour depended on which strategy was believed to result in the fastest return to work using the fewest resources. Although government facilities were the most common healthcare access point, they were mistrusted; 48.8\% and 19.2\% of respondents perceived inappropriate treatment protocols and corruption, respectively, at public facilities. Conversely, 93.3\% of respondents reported high treatment cost as the main barrier to accessing private facilities. Our results highlight that addressing the chronic and non-communicable disease burdens amongst rural populations in this context will require health policies and village-level programs that address the low health literacy and the issues of rural healthcare accessibility and acceptability.

As justice movements work to unveil the systemic barriers experienced by sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations, it is imperative that the emergency medicine (EM) community progress in its efforts to provide equitable, accessible, and competent care for these vulnerable groups. Given the paucity of literature on this subject in the context of EM in Canada, this commentary borrows evidence from other specialties across North America. Trainees across specialties and of all stages are caring for an increasing number of SGM patients. Lack of education at all levels of training is identified as a significant barrier to adequately caring for these populations, thereby precipitating significant health disparities. Cultural competency is often mistakenly attributed to a willingness to treat rather than the provision of quality care. However, positive attitudes do not necessarily correlate with trainee knowledge. Barriers to creating and implementing culturally competent curricula are plentiful, yet facilitating policies and resources are rare. While international bodies continuously publish position statements and calls to action, concrete change is seldom made. The scarcity of SGM curricula can be attributed to the universal absence of formal acknowledgment of SGM health as a required competency by accreditation boards and professional membership associations. This commentary synthesizes hand-picked literature in an attempt to inform healthcare professionals on their journey toward developing culturally competent postgraduate medical education. By thematically organizing evidence into a stepwise approach, the goal of this article is to borrow ideas across medical and surgical specialties to inform the creation of recommendations and make a case for an SGM curriculum for EM programs in Canada.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Burcheri, A (Corresponding Author), Concordia Univ, Dept Psychol, Montreal 7141 Sherbro, PQ, Canada.

This qualitative study aims to describe barriers and facilitators, at organisational and personal levels, that teachers and parents in disadvantaged settings in Sweden perceived as influencing the implementation of the Healthy School Start II (HSS II) intervention. Methods Data collection, analysis and interpretation were guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). Focus groups and interviews were conducted with 14 parents and ten teachers within the HSS II trial. Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis in a deductive step using the three CFIR domains-inner and outer setting, and personal characteristics-followed by an inductive analysis. Results The theme `being on the same page-getting burdened teachers and parents to work on common ground' was found. Among teachers, barriers and facilitators were related to the structure of the schoolwork and curriculum, involvement from other staff and school management, the practical school workday, perception of high family needs but low parental interest, insufficient resources in the families, and teacher's personal knowledge, interests, and opinions about health and food. For parents, barriers and facilitators were related to the perceived family needs and resources, parents' health knowledge, consensus about healthy behaviours and ability to cooperate, and school involvement in health issues and the intervention. Conclusion Interventions should facilitate parents' and teachers' work on common ground, with activities suitable for a stressful and burdensome workday and everyday life. This could be achieved by integrating evidence-based practices within school routines, and including activities that are practicable despite parents' stressful lives, and that increase parental consensus about promoting health. Strategies to increase involvement of parents in families with high needs are necessary. Also, this study suggests an expansion of the CFIR to capture the interface between different micro-level organisations, and account for several delivering/receiving organisations.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Norman, Å (Corresponding Author), Karolinska Inst, Dept Publ Hlth Sci, Stockholm, Sweden.

GPs are at the forefront of this change. However, there is lack of academic literature on General Practitioners' perceptions on their role in light of the new models of care proposed by the NHS Five Year Forward View which this small-scale study begins to address. Objectives: This study aims to produce a description of how GP's construct their current and future general practice, professional status and identify within the context of the current NHS transformation agenda. Methods: Qualitative study using semi-structured interviews and one focus group to gather the perspective of GPs (n = 10) working across three clinical commissioning groups in South East England. Results: While the GPs embraced the principles underpinning the new care models, they were both willing and reluctant to adopt their new roles, struggled with inter-organisational and cultural barriers and their changing professional identity. Conclusion: Multi-professional education in primary and community care could be an effective model to offer support and resources to the development of the clinical and leadership skills GPs will require to respond effectively to the transformation agenda. The emergence of community education provider networks, innovative network organisations designed to support workforce transformation through education and training, can provide the vehicle through which clinical and leadership skills training are sourced and coordinated.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Humphrey, T (Corresponding Author), Bromley Community Educ Provider Network, London, England.

Within the context of Mpumalanga province, which is characterized by low breastfeeding rates and high infant mortality rates in children under 5 years, we explored the facilitators and barriers to breastfeeding among mothers attending the three primary health facilities in Ermelo. MethodsUsing a semi-structured interview guide suggested by the socio-ecological model, three focus group discussions and 12 in-depth interviews were conducted among mothers selected using a purposive sampling. Transcripts from audiotaped and transcribed verbatim interviews were assessed through thematic analysis using NVivo version 10. ResultsMothers were aged between 18 and 42 years and from poor sociodemographic backgrounds. At the individual level, mothers valued breastfeeding facilitated by their commitment, maintaining it, eating healthy foods, and having sufficient breast milk. However, returning to work, insufficient breast milk, misconceptions about breastfeeding, and interference with social life were the barriers for mothers to breastfeed continuously. At the interpersonal level, the family was identified as the main form of support to breastfeeding mothers; however, family interference was also identified as a barrier. At the community level, mothers shared some family beliefs and practices but were still split between societal and cultural norms and traditional beliefs as facilitators or barriers to breastfeeding. At the organizational level, most mothers valued the support provided by healthcare workers on childcare and techniques for breastfeeding at the health facilities. They did however articulate concerns on the miscommunication some healthcare workers offered regarding breastfeeding, which negatively influenced their infant feeding practices. DiscussionIntervention efforts should focus on behaviour change to educate and equip mothers to overcome the barriers that are within their control. Such interventions should further focus on family-centered education and strengthening the proficiency of healthcare workers on advising breastfeeding mothers.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Modjadji, P (Corresponding Author), Sefako Makgatho Hlth Sci Univ, Sch Hlth Care Sci, Dept Publ Hlth, Pretoria, South Africa.

We aimed to assess the influence of a variety of social factors from different socio-ecological levels (parents, household and child-care) on multi-time point dietary patterns identified from 2 to 5 y. Method: This study included 974 children from the French EDEN mother-child cohort. Two multi-time point dietary patterns were derived in a previous study: they correspond to consistent exposures to either core-or non-core foods across 2, 3 and 5 y and were labelled ``Guidelines{''} and ``Processed, fast-foods{''}. The associations of various social factors collected during pregnancy (age, education level) or at 2-y follow-up (mother's single status, occupation, work commitments, household financial disadvantage, presence of older siblings and child-care arrangements) with each of the two dietary patterns, were assessed by multivariable linear regression analysis. Results: The adherence to a diet close to ``Guidelines{''} was positively and independently associated with both maternal and paternal education levels. The adherence to a diet consistently composed of processed and fast-foods was essentially linked with maternal variables (younger age and lower education level), household financial disadvantage, the presence of older sibling (s) and being cared for at home by someone other than the mother. Conclusions: Multiple social factors operating at different levels (parents, household, and child-care) were found to be associated with the diet of young children. Different independent predictors were found for each of the two longitudinal dietary patterns, suggesting distinct pathways of influence. Our findings further suggest that interventions promoting healthier dietary choices for young children should involve both parents and take into account not only household financial disadvantage but also maternal age, family size and options for child-care.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Lioret, S (Corresponding Author), Paris Descartes Univ, Early ORigin Childs Hlth \& Dev Team ORCHAD, Epidemiol \& Biostat Sorbonne Paris Cite Ctr CRESS, INSERM, F-75014 Paris, France.

Thus, the subject of this research is to compare the patterns of inclusive growth and development across economies of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE); and to investigate the driving policies and institutions to countries' inclusive growth and development. The research objective is to highlight policies that would increase equality, economic well-being, and as a result, the competitiveness of CEE countries. Methods. For this purpose, the comparative analysis of CEE countries' inclusive growth and development patterns was done; and the empirical evaluation was done to observe relationship between the Inclusive Development Index and indicators that described economic policies and institutional factors relevant to inclusiveness. In a comparative analysis and a cross-country regression model (for both dependent and independent variables), a recently developed by World Economic Forum performance metric was used. Results. The main findings suggest that the Czech and Slovak Republics are the best performing among CEE countries in inclusive growth and development patterns. On the contrary, Ukraine, Moldova, and Russian Federation are the worst. Economic growth of these countries has not transformed well into social inclusion. Still, there is a great potential for all CEE economies to improve their social inclusiveness in comparison with EU-28 and Norway (the most inclusive economy in 2018). Results of the empirical research indicate that redistributive fiscal policy has little influence on inclusive growth and development. Nevertheless, it should create a public social protection system that is engaged in decreasing poverty, vulnerability, and marginalization without hampering economic growth. Besides, an effective and inclusive redistributive state system of CEE economies should accentuate on supporting human economic opportunities. According to the results of the regression model, positive strong influence on inclusive growth and development is associated with the employment and labour compensation policy that allows people to directly increase their incomes and feel active and productive members of society; the basic services and infrastructure policy which is a necessary ground for present and future human and economic development; the asset building and entrepreneurship policy provides diminishing inequality and rising economic opportunities by fostering medium and small business creation and enlarging possibilities of home and other asset ownership. Altogether these policies would increase broad-based human economic opportunities and consequently both equality, economic well-being, and CEE economies' competitiveness in the long run. The counter-intuitive effect observed in the regression model between education and skills development policy and country's inclusive growth and development needs further investigations, as education is important for social mobility and decrease in income and wealth inequality.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Tsapko-Piddubna, O (Corresponding Author), Ivan Franko Natl Univ Lviv, Lvov, Ukraine.

We conducted a cross-sectional investigation of barriers to healthcare and associated factors from a subtle realism perspective. Perceived barriers to healthcare were obtained from the Barriers to Healthcare Checklist Short-Form (BHC). A total of 263 autistic and 70 non-autistic individuals completed the BHC. On average, autistic adults reported more barriers to healthcare (4.58) than non-autistic adults (0.76). Gender diversity, higher levels of generalised anxiety, greater global disability and less satisfaction with social support contributed to the experience of barriers to healthcare in autistic participants in regression modelling. Australian autistic adults face substantial barriers to healthcare. Understanding these barriers provides an opportunity to develop approaches to improve access; such as co-designing a healthcare access roadmap for autistic adults, with co-designed policies and practices which advocate for the needs of autistic adults. Lay abstract This study looked at how Australian autistic and non-autistic adults experience barriers to healthcare. We asked autistic and non-autistic adults to complete the Barriers to Healthcare Checklist Short-Form (BHC). We analysed data from 263 autistic adults and 70 non-autistic adults. We found that autistic adults experienced more barriers to healthcare than non-autistic adults. Gender diversity, feeling more anxious, having greater disability and feeling unsatisfied with social support contributed to barriers to healthcare in autistic participants. We recommend interventions such as developing and implementing a national action plan, similar to the National Roadmap for Improving the Health of People with Intellectual Disability (2021) to reduce barriers and address unmet healthcare needs of Australian autistic adults. We also recommend working with autistic adults to develop new policies and strategies, implementing environmental adaptations to health care facilities, and increasing Autism education opportunities for health professionals to address gaps in knowledge.}, Type = {Article; Early Access}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Arnold, SR (Corresponding Author), UNSW Sydney, Discipline Psychiat \& Mental Hlth, Dept Dev Disabil Neuropsychiat, Room 241,Level 2,Biolink Bldg E25, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia.

This is particularly true in the United States, where life expectancy trails far behind that of other high-income countries. In addition, substantial disparities in life expectancy and other health outcomes exist as a function of race, ethnicity, wealth, education, and geographic location. A major reformation of our national system for generating medical evidence-the clinical research enterprise-is needed to facilitate the translation of biomedical research into useful products and interventions. Currently, premarket systems for generating and evaluating evidence work reasonably well, but the postmarket phase is disaggregated and often fails to answer essential questions that must be addressed to provide optimal clinical care and public health interventions for all Americans. Solving these problems will require a focus on three key domains: (1) improving the integration of and access to high-quality data from traditional clinical trials, electronic health records, and personal devices and wearable sensors; (2) restructuring clinical research operations to support and incentivize the involvement of patients and frontline clinicians; and (3) articulating ethical constructs that enable responsible data sharing to support improved implementation. Finally, we must also address the systemic tendency to optimize individual components of the clinical research enterprise without considering the effects on the system as a whole. Overcoming suboptimization by creating incentives for integration and sharing will be essential to achieve more timely and equitable improvement in health outcomes.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Califf, RM (Corresponding Author), US FDA, Off Commissioner, White Oak Campus,10903 New Hampshire Ave, Silver Spring, MD 20993 USA.

This study aims to offer a new framework for conceptualizing workplace discrimination and prostitution by examining the mediating role of poverty in the relationship between discrimination and prostitution. Design/methodology/approach The conceptual framework of this study is based on the social identity theory and the theory of prostitution. Findings Transgender is a neglected group in society, and more often, they are the ones who are unable to find jobs and when employed, find it challenging to sustain their employment because of their gender identity. This leads them to be discriminated at their workplaces. Subsequently, they are forced to leave their workplace and settle to work as prostitutes for their economic survival. Research limitations/implications Further research should empirically test the design model. Practical implications Managers play an essential role in eliminating discrimination in the organization. Managers need to take measures in crafting gender-free and anti-discrimination policies. They take steps to design recruitment policies in which there is no need to disclose applicant identity. Social implications Discrimination, on the basis of gender identity, promotes a culture of hate, intolerance and economic inequality in society. Prostitution has devastating effects on society. Originality/value In the field of organizational behavior, discrimination as a factor of prostitution was not explored. This study provides a significant contribution to the transgender and discrimination literature along with the prostitution theory and the social identity theory by proposing a model that highlights discrimination as one of the factors that compel the transgender community to be involved in prostitution.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Yasin, R (Corresponding Author), Univ Sains Malaysia, Grad Sch Business, George Town, Malaysia.

The goal of the study was to examine how workplace disability facilities affect job retention plans among workers with physical disabilities in South Korea and how perceived workplace safety and work satisfaction act as mediators. The 2018 Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled was used, and we examined 1023 workers with physical disabilities. Path analysis was used to examine the relationships. Results showed that workers whose workplaces provided more disability facilities were significantly more likely to perceive their workplaces as safe and had higher work satisfaction; hence, they were more likely to wish to maintain their present jobs than those whose workplaces offered fewer facilities.

Two physical activity interventions were compared to determine barriers, enablers and preferences for physical activity format in sedentary, community-dwelling 50- to 65-year-olds. Methods: Using mixed methods, 37 Physical Activity at Home (PAAH) participants took part in focus groups at the end of the intervention period and completed the Active Australia Survey (AAS). Participants were divided into three sub-groups: (1) group exercise attendees (GA, n = 14); (2) group exercise non-attendees (GNA, n = 9); and (3) physiotherapist-led home-based physical activity program attendees (HB, n = 14). Focus groups were audio-taped, transcribed, coded and analysed using an inductive thematic approach. Thirty-seven exit telephone calls with GNA were included in the analysis. Results: Cost, self-efficacy, work and carer commitments were major themes identified for GA and GNA. HB participants reported fewer barriers and a number of enablers, including flexibility of the program and physiotherapist instruction. HB and GNA were younger than GA (p< 0.05), more likely to be in paid employment and GNA participants were insufficiently active (p <= 0.01). All participants preferred some home-based physical activity, although a variety of formats was indicated. Conclusion: The barriers, enablers and preferences indicate that the physiotherapist-led home-based physical activity program with initial face-to-face contact and telephone support may increase the adoption and maintenance of physical activity in middle-aged adults, particularly for those not interested in, or unable to attend, group exercise.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Freene, N (Corresponding Author), Univ Canberra, Fac Hlth, Bruce, ACT 2601, Australia.

Although Hispanics/Latinos need disproportionately more kidney transplants, they receive a smaller proportion of living donor kidney transplants than other ethnic/racial groups. Objective-To assess Hispanics' awareness, perceptions, misconceptions, cultural beliefs, and values about and barriers to LKD. Design-Nine focus groups were conducted with 76 adult Hispanics in Chicago, Illinois, between January and March 2012. Participants-Focus groups included kidney transplant recipients, living kidney donors, dialysis patients, and the general Hispanic public. Results-Several themes emerged as perceived barriers to LKD. Many participants identified knowledge deficits about LKD, expressing uncertainty about the differences between LKD and deceased donation, and whether kidney disease simultaneously afflicts both kidneys. Many believed that donors experience dramatically shorter life expectancies, are unable to have children, and are more susceptible to kidney disease after donating. Recipients and donors reported that family members were involved in discussions about the donor's decision to donate, with some family members discouraging donation. Financial bathers cited included fear of becoming unable to work, losing one's job, or being unable to pay household bills while recovering. Participants also identified logistic barriers for undocumented immigrants (eg, the inability to obtain government insurance for transplant candidates and uncertainty about their eligibility to donate). Donors desired information about optimizing self-care to promote their remaining kidney's health. Culturally competent interventions are needed to redress Hispanics' knowledge deficits and misconceptions and reduce LKD disparities among Hispanics.

Thus, there is a need to improve workplace safety and health promotion efforts for people with disability. The purpose of this study was to obtain stakeholder feedback about an online program, Be Active, Work Safe, which was developed to increase the physical activity and workplace safety practices of individuals with disability. Eight stakeholders (content experts and individuals with disability) evaluated the 8-week online program and provided feedback on accessibility, usability, and content using quantitative and qualitative approaches. Stakeholders suggested changes to the organization, layout and accessibility, and content. This included making a stronger connection between the physical activity and workplace safety components of the program, broadening content to apply to individuals in different vocational fields, and reducing the number of participant assessments. Engaging stakeholders in the development of health promotion programs is critical to ensure the unique issues of the population are addressed and facilitate engagement in the program. Feedback provided by stakeholders improved the program and provided insight on barriers for adoption of the program. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

While many studies have focused on six-month exclusive breastfeeding practices, little is known about why mothers do not sustain breastfeeding beyond this period. This qualitative study aimed to explore factors influencing breastfeeding continuation and formula feeding beyond six months, regardless of any additional food consumed, focusing on Indonesia's rural and urban areas.MethodsWe collected the data through 46 in-depth interviews in Pati District and Surakarta City, Central Java, Indonesia. Participants were mothers, grandmothers, health care practitioners, and village kader (frontline female health workers). We used thematic analysis combining deductive and inductive techniques for analysing the data.ResultsRural mothers practised breastfeeding and intended to breastfeed for a longer duration than urban mothers. Maternal attitude towards breastfeeding, breastfeeding knowledge, previous experiences, and other breastfeeding strategies (e.g., enhancing maternal dietary quality) positively influenced breastfeeding sustainability. In the urban setting, mothers encountered several breastfeeding barriers, such as perceived breast milk insufficiency and child hunger and satiety, child biting, and breastfeeding refusal, causing them to provide formula milk as a breast milk substitute or supplement. In addition, families, communities, health practitioners, and employment influenced maternal decisions in breastfeeding continuation and formula-feeding practices.ConclusionsOptimal breastfeeding practices up to two years of age are determined by the individual and setting (i.e., community, healthcare, employment) factors. Providing breastfeeding education covering practical breastfeeding guidance will encourage mothers to breastfeed for longer. Such interventions should involve families, communities, health workers, and the work environment as a breastfeeding support system. Policymakers should develop, enforce, and monitor the implementation of breastfeeding policies to protect, promote, and support breastfeeding in households, communities, health systems, and work settings.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Paramashanti, BA (Corresponding Author), Univ Alma Ata, Fac Hlth Sci, Dept Nutr, Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

This has posed challenges both for those providing and those seeking support providers, in building shared understanding of the condition and of actions to address it. This qualitative study reports on needs for equity in health and social care expressed by adults living with CFS/ME. Methods: The participants were 35 adults with CFS/ME in England, purposively selected to provide variation in clinical presentations, social backgrounds and illness experiences. Accounts of experienced needs and needs-related encounters with health and social services were obtained through a focus group (n = 6) and semi-structured interviews (n = 35). These were transcribed and needs related topics identified through data-led thematic analysis. Findings: Participants emphasised needs for personalised, timely and sustained support to alleviate CFS/ME impacts and regain life control, in three thematic areas: (1) Illness symptoms, functional limitations and illness management; (2) practical support and social care; (3) financial support. Access of people with CFS/ME to support from health and social services was seen to be constrained by barriers stemming from social, cultural, organisational and professional norms and practices, further heightened for disadvantaged groups including some ethnic minorities. These reduced opportunities for their illness to be explained or associated functional limitations and social disadvantages to be addressed through social support. Participants sought more understanding of bio-psycho-social aspects of CFS/ME, of felt needs of people with CFS/ME and of human rights and disability rights, for providing person-centred, equitable care. Conclusions: Changes in attitudes of health practitioners, policy makers and general public and more flexibly organised health and social care provision are needed to address equity issues in support needs expressed by people with CFS/ME, to be underpinned by research-based knowledge and communication, for public and professional education. Policy development should include shared decision-making and coordinated action across organizations working for people with CFS/ME, human rights and disadvantaged groups. Experiences of people with CFS/ME can usefully inform an understanding of equity in their health and social care.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Poland, F (Corresponding Author), Univ E Anglia, Sch Allied Hlth Profess, Norwich NR4 7TJ, Norfolk, England.

We present a Delphi survey protocol through which we aim to obtain future-oriented strategies that can improve the accessibility and inclusion of young people with disabilities in the future of work. Methods and analysis The Delphi survey will be conducted primarily online, over two rounds and in a format that is accessible to people living with disabilities. A diverse sample of subject matter experts (eg, policy makers, employment service providers, labour market experts) and participants with lived experience of a disability will be recruited using a purposive sampling strategy. All participants will be asked to complete both rounds of the Delphi survey. In the first round, open-ended questions will be asked about workplace, community-based or policy supports that can foster the inclusion of young people with disabilities in the labour market and that can also address specific future of work trends which span sociopolitical, economic, environmental and technological domains. In the second round of the survey, we will aim to build consensus; participants will be provided with a summary of specific strategies that correspond to the different future of work trends emerging from round one and will be asked to rank-order strategies according to their importance. Following the completion of the second round, consensus-based and future-focused recommendations will be generated that can support young people with disabilities in the world of work over the coming decades. Ethics and dissemination The study protocol has been cleared by the University of Toronto's research ethics board (\#40727). The study will identify future-focused support strategies that will be shared with people living with disabilities, policy makers and disability employment service providers through an integrated knowledge transfer and exchange approach.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Jetha, A (Corresponding Author), Inst Work \& Hlth, Toronto, ON, Canada.

We seek to identify the challenges and opportunities in implementing community-level interventions to collect REL data for detecting and reducing disparities in care in the 14 multi-stakeholder communities participating in the Aligning Forces for Quality initiative. Study Design: This was a cross-sectional descriptive qualitative study. Methods: We conducted 1-hour, face-to-face, semi-structured interviews with identified key informants during 2-day visits to each of the 14 communities in 2010, and supplemented this information with 2 rounds of semi-structured telephone interviews. Data were analyzed using a qualitative analysis software program, which assists with organizing and analyzing large quantities of interview data through creation of analytic units. We used deductive and inductive qualitative methods to analyze the data. Results: Communities found it challenging to implement a community-level intervention to collect standardized REL data because addressing disparities is complex, the utility of having individual healthcare organizations collect these data is difficult to communicate, and perceptions of disparities in the community vary across stakeholders. Opportunities include working with credible ``early adopters{''} in the community and leveraging federal or state mandates to encourage providers to collect this information. Conclusions: Community-level efforts to collect REL data require securing buy-in from organizational leadership, developing a dialogue across the community, and generating awareness across key players about disparities-reduction efforts, especially REL data collection, without alienating patients, communities, and providers.

Starting in the 1980s, feminist scholars in International Relations have questioned the absence of women in the international arena, alongside the pervasive gender hierarchies of the international system. Not only was it that women had been systematically excluded from politics, but the scholarship in IR had largely ignored feminist claims about the gendering of international politics. Largely animated by feminist movements and the nascent feminist debates in IR, the World Conferences on Women (1975, 1980, 1985, and 1995) stressed the paramount need for taking women's demands seriously. Such demands encompassed social, economic, and political domains, echoing decades of feminist struggles in the first, second and third worlds. The United Nations played a crucial role in fostering an agenda of gender equality and women's rights as human rights, which have been a quintessential part of the Millennium Development Goals and, more recently, the Sustainable Development Goals. Furthermore, gender-oriented policies have been promoted in myriad UN agencies and international organisations, such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. Despite all these efforts purporting to raise awareness about gender equality and women's rights, as well as about the need for more inclusive policies for women in the international arena, women's presence in international fora as leaders has been remarkably low. As for the United Nations,until now no woman has been elected to the organisation's highest post, that of secretary general, and only recently the International Monetary Fund and World Bank have had female managing directors. These sobering results show a different picture of international organisations that promote gender equality as their political and social commitment, whilst failing to comply with the very same discourse when it comes to women's leadership in their formal structures. In this context, the present article aims to assess quantitatively and qualitatively women's presence in leadership roles at the United Nations and international economic organisations (namely, the IMF,WB and World Trade Organisation). It departs from the following research question: What is the current state of affairs of women's participation in the highest posts of the United Nations and the international organizations of the global economic system? Methodologically, we resort to descriptive statistical data of women's presence at various agencies of the United Nations and the aforementioned economic institutions from 1990-2018. Of greatest concern will be those occupying the posts of presidency and vice-presidency. Counting women is a traditional approach in feminist studies in IR, and it is a paramount step in making women count. The second goal of our paper, thus, derives directly from the data: by mapping the few women occupying positions of leadership in international organisations, we can assess the gender structures operating to the disadvantage of women. In order to do so, we resort to feminist theories as developed in political science and IR, for they provide the conceptual tools to provide data with meaning. We focus primarily on how gendered institutions confine women to specific gendered roles that emanate from the private sphere of domesticity. This means that women suffer from various exclusionary dynamics: firstly, they are excluded from leadership roles for the fact of being women; secondly, the few who manage to break through the glass ceiling of a masculine international arena are assigned positions that mimic the elements of the private sphere. Frequently, female leaders are responsible for social issues,childhood, food security, education, and culture, all of which are labeled as soft issues, or belonging to the domain of low politics. Feminist IR scholars have extensively denounced these gendered structures as part of how men preserve their privileges under the framework of hegemonic masculinity. Therefore,we draw on the work of several IR feminists who are concerned with the theoretical questioning and empirical unravelling of such gender hierarchies to interpret our data beyond the mere counting of women. We contend that women in leadership roles in the United Nations and international economic organisations more frequently occupy portfolios that are seen as soft issues or low politics. Likewise, these roles are often associated with the care for others, which reinforces gender roles and hierarchies. Women are more likely to occupy the presidencies and vice-presidencies of agencies such as UNICEF, UNESCO,WFP, and OHCHR, all of which deal with issues associated with childhood, education, culture, food security and human rights. We conclude that an apparent glass ceiling the invisible barrier that prevents women from reaching higher and more prestigious posts in their professional careers - still remains in international institutions,limiting the participation of women in decision-making fora. The few female leaders who manage to reach the highest posts in the international arena are more likely to be exceptions of a pervasive phenomenon of gender inequality and lack of representativeness. The discourses embraced by the United Nations and international economic organisations fail to meet the minimal criteria for gender parity within these organizations' structures, and even where women have been assigned leadership roles, gender stereotypes still prevail. Further evidence revealed in our research refers to the regional representativeness of the few female leaders in these international organisations: about 55\% of them come from Western Europe and North America. Latin American and African women are strongly underrepresented in the United Nations system, as well as in the Bretton Woods institutions, which is itself problematic because the particular perspectives of women from the Global South are also excluded from debates in these international fora. Therefore, international organisations also face the challenge of fostering the diversity of feminist perspectives by developing strategies to include Global South women in their formal structure, ideally as leaders. In this sense, our paper draws attention to the importance of pluralism not only in terms of gender parity, but also of a feminist worldview. In order to make women count in the international arena, the United Nations and international economic organisations have to fully commit themselves to concrete policies for women's inclusion, not only as heads of the institutions, but also in lower hierarchies where policies are designed. Only by acknowledging that women's perspectives matter, can we achieve the goals of gender equality.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Spanish}, Affiliation = {Lenine, E (Corresponding Author), Univ Integrac Int Lusofonia Afro Brasilena, Grad Relac Int, Inst Humanidades \& Letras, Unilab Males, Salvador, BA, Brazil.

Questions focused on barriers and enablers to implementing guideline recommendations about management of: upper limb sensory impairments, mobility including sitting balance; vision; anxiety and depression; neglect; swallowing; communication; education for stroke survivors and carers; advice about return to work and driving. Qualitative data were analysed for themes using theoretical domains described by Michie and colleagues (2005). Results: Six group and two individual interviews were conducted, involving six disciplines. Barriers were different across disciplines. The six key barriers identified were: (1) Beliefs about capabilities of individual professionals and their discipline, and about patient capabilities (2) Beliefs about the consequences, positive and negative, of implementing the recommendations (3) Memory of, and attention to, best practices (4) Knowledge and skills required to implement best practice; (5) Intention and motivation to implement best practice, and (6) Resources. Some barriers were also enablers to change. For example, occupational therapists required new knowledge and skills (a barrier), to better manage sensation and neglect impairments while physiotherapists generally knew how to implement best-practice mobility rehabilitation (an enabler). Conclusions: Findings add to current knowledge about barriers to change and implementation of multiple guideline recommendations. Major challenges included sexuality education and depression screening. Limited knowledge and skills was a common barrier. Knowledge about specific interventions was needed before implementation could commence, and to maintain treatment fidelity. The provision of detailed online intervention protocols and manuals may help clinicians to overcome the knowledge barrier.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {McCluskey, A (Corresponding Author), Univ Sydney, Fac Hlth Sci, Discipline Occupat Therapy, Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia.

Studies have shown that, however, a vast majority of individuals with disability living in poor countries have limited access to healthcare influenced by several barriers. The purpose of this paper is to compare the perception of general accessibility of health care services and its association with access barriers and other contextual factors between people with physical disabilities and counterparts without disability. Design/methodology/approach This study is a cross sectional survey involving 213 individuals with physical disabilities and 213 counterparts without disability sampled using a multi-stage method. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire with sections on socioeconomic and living conditions, education, health, employment and access to health care. Data analysis involved using chi(2) for proportions and T-test and multiple regressions (stepwise) method to determine significant factors that influence perception on accessibility. Findings The study finds that people with disabilities fared worse in various socioeconomic factors such as education, employment, income and assets possession. People with disabilities also experience more dimensional barriers and reported poor health system accessibility. The difference in accessibility continued after adjusting for other variables, implying that there are more inherent factors that explain the perception of access for people with disabilities. Practical implications - Governments should ensure equitable access to health care delivery for people with disabilities through equitable health policies and services that are responsive to the needs of people with disabilities and promote the creation of enabling environment to enhance participation in health care delivery.

Globalisation also leads to a series of complex social problems. Among those problems, the inequality of wealth is comparatively the most fundamental and conspicuous factor. On the one hand, during the period of economic prosperity, despite the increase of aggregated global wealth and the reduction in the extreme levels of poverty, the gaps within social distribution gradually widen. On the other hand, during the periods of economic crises and recession, in spite of a relative narrowing down of the gaps in social distribution, the aggregated social wealth is thanks to globalisation being reduced and the unemployment rates rising. Although different types of countries, such as developed countries, the newly emerging economies, and the low-income countries, differ in their performance, their overall economic and social developments are similar. Against the background of globalisation, a sluggish economic growth and widening of the wealth gap in Europe seem to be particularly outstanding. The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: this round of globalisation has consolidated contradictions between highly liberalised capital flows and a relatively fixed labour force. As a result, the primary distribution of social wealth has brought more advantages to owners of capital and more disadvantages to the working class. At the same time, however, the social bias caused by globalisation further weakened the redistributive effects of the social security systems in the developed countries (particularly in Europe), while the relative lack of social security systems in the developing countries have aggravated the degrees of wealth inequality. In response to the wealth inequality brought about by globalisation, the anti-globalisation movements appear to be passive and ineffective, whereas the efforts made by the governments of a number of countries, particularly those in Europe, to reform the social security systems and to promote employment might have hit the nail on the head. Meanwhile, it seems to be ever more important to advance the coordination of global governance which is led by interrelated international organisations.}, Type = {Article; Book Chapter}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Ding, C (Corresponding Author), Fudan Univ, Ctr European Studies, Shanghai, Peoples R China.

The death of a child has been associated with adverse parental outcomes, including a heightened risk for psychological distress, poor physical health, loss of employment income, and diminished psychosocial well-being. Psychosocial standards of care for centers serving pediatric cancer patients recommend maintaining at least one meaningful contact between the healthcare team and bereaved parents to identify families at risk for negative psychosocial sequelae and to provide resources for bereavement support. This study assessed how this standard is being implemented in current healthcare and palliative care practices, as well as barriers to its implementation. Method. Experts in the field of pediatric palliative care and oncology created a survey that was posted with review and permission on four listservs. The survey inquired about pediatric palliative and bereavement program characteristics, as well as challenges and barriers to implementation of the published standards of care. Result. The majority of participants (N= 100) self-reported as palliative care physicians (51\%), followed by oncologists (19\%). Although 59\% of staff reported that their center often or always deliver bereavement care after a child's death, approximately two-thirds reported having no policy for the oncology team to routinely assess bereavement needs. Inconsistent types of bereavement services and varying duration of care was common. Twenty-eight percent of participants indicated that their center has no systematic contact with bereaved families after the child's death. Among centers where contacts are made, the person who calls the bereaved parent is unknown to the family in 30\% of cases. Few centers (5\%) use a bereavement screening or assessment tool. Significance of results. Lark of routine assessment of bereavement needs, inconsistent duration of bereavement care, and tremendous variability in bereavement services suggest more work is needed to promote standardized, policy-driven bereavement care.

Moreover, women in top jobs are not afforded support systems in the form of networking to be effective at these senior levels, and therefore, experience isolation in the workplace. The study contributes to the literature on networking. Within these studies, there is agreement that building networks necessitate deliberate attempts to develop and maintain relationships with others who have power to assist in career progression. Comparing all groups of women, white women tend to be the majority in top roles and most research has been conducted on white women samples. On the contrary, black women experience limitations in accessing networks in the workplace because of the challenges of duality of race and gender that include encountering stereotypical beliefs held by society, negative historical beliefs, racial and gender discrimination, as well as barriers to informal social networks. Also, there are limited studies that discuss the networking experiences of black women in senior positions. This research examines the networking behaviours of black women in the public sector and its impact on career progression. Following a qualitative research method, this study identifies networking structures, activities and the benefits that are derived from these networks for these women. Empirical data drawn from fifteen (15) participants at senior management levels in the public sector in the finance cluster were interviewed using the semi-structured interview method. Purposive sampling method was adopted and the data analysed using thematic content analysis. The participants came from different government departments namely, the South African Revenue Service, Auditor General of South Africa and the National Treasury of South Africa. The findings of the study reveal that there is limited participation in networks amongst black women in the public sector. The participants largely associated with professional networks for career enrichment and guidance. Overall, the study found that these women often participated in social networks where they interacted with people who shared similar interests as them. They further engaged in networking activities that could provide psychosocial support, access to job opportunities and assistance with work task challenges. The study provides insight into how black women support themselves in top jobs.}, Type = {Proceedings Paper}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Senoamadi, M (Corresponding Author), Univ Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.

Little primary research has been conducted into which strategies for collaboration and service provision are most effective, efficient, scalable and sustainable. Seeking to align research with urgent needs, enhance coordination and increase the likelihood that results are used, this study aimed to set an inclusive global research agenda that reflects priority research questions from key stakeholders at the intersection of HIV healthcare and faith. Methods In order to develop this global research agenda, we drew from document analyses, focus group discussions, interviews with purposively selected key informants from all continents (policy-makers, healthcare providers, faith leaders, academics and HIV activists), an online questionnaire, and expert meetings at several global conferences. We carried out focus group discussions and interviews with faith leaders in South Africa. Other stakeholder focus groups and interviews were carried out online or in person in France, Switzerland, the Netherlands and South Africa, and virtual questionnaires were distributed to stakeholders worldwide. Respondents were purposively sampled. Results We interviewed 53 participants, and 110 stakeholders responded to the online questionnaire. The participants worked in 54 countries, with the majority having research experience (84\%), experience with policy processes (73\%) and/or experience as a healthcare provider (60\%) and identifying as religious (79\%). From interviews (N = 53) and questionnaires (N = 110), we identified 10 research themes: addressing sexuality, stigma, supporting specific populations, counselling and disclosure, agenda-setting, mobilizing and organizing funding, evaluating faith-health collaborations, advantage of faith initiatives, gender roles, and education. Respondents emphasized the need for more primary research and prioritized two themes: improving the engagement of faith communities in addressing sexuality and tackling stigma. Conclusions A wide range of respondents participated in developing the research agenda. To align research to the prioritized themes and ensure that results are used, it is essential to further engage key users, funders, researchers and other stakeholders, strengthen the capacity for locally embedded research and research uptake and contextualize priorities to diverse religious traditions, key populations and local circumstances.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Ndlovu-Teijema, MT (Corresponding Author), Desmond \& Leah Tutu Legacy Fdn, Cape Town, South Africa.

To identify the theories and concepts related to building age-friendly rural communities. Background. Global population is rapidly ageing. Creating environments that support active ageing was a catalyst for the World Health Organization to develop Global Age-Friendly Cities guidelines. Although the age-friendly movement has captured the attention of some countries, little is known about the participation of older people in rural settings. Method. An integrative review approach was employed to summarise the research literature on this topic. Using a systematic search strategy, databases including Discover (EBSCO's electronic database system), Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Medline and Google Scholar were searched. Primary, peer-reviewed studies were included if published during 2007-2014 in the English language. Results. Nine studies were eligible for inclusion. The studies were set predominantly in Canada, with the exception of one from Ireland. The findings were summarised and clustered into main topics which included: theoretical perspectives; geographic and demographic characteristics; collaboration and partnerships; sustainability and capacity; and finally, future research agendas. Conclusions. Rural communities are changing rapidly and are becoming increasingly diverse environments. Community characteristics can help or hinder age-friendliness. Importantly, the fundamental starting point for age-friendly initiatives is establishing older peoples' perceptions of their own communities. Relevance to clinical practice. It is important for nurses, working in primary health care settings, to understand the needs of older people in the communities in which they practice. This includes the community characteristics that can be enablers and barriers to older people being able to remain and age within their own communities.}, Type = {Review}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Neville, S (Corresponding Author), AUT Univ, Nursing, Auckland, New Zealand.

In this study, we apply systems thinking for the assessment of barriers in agricultural decision-making for food security and climate adaptation. Using a mixed method approach of participatory simulation game design and causal loop diagrams, we explore the dynamic pathways through which barriers inhibit farmers from achieving food security and climate adaptation in Southern Mali. Results show that the key barriers in the region are financial, land, and climate-related barriers including unavailability of formal credit sources, high input prices, inadequate land access and ownership rights, time and labor constraints in collective vs individual plots, and climate risks such as early and late season droughts, high temperature, excessive rainfall, water scarcity, and pest incidences. These barriers operate in complex, interdependent, and dynamic ways where factors that act as enablers in one context can also function as barriers in another context. We see such interdependencies in three cases: i) access to interlocked credit and loans for cotton cultivation acts as enablers of income generation for male farmers but become barriers to female farmers who do not cultivate cotton ii) land ownership and land use rights for male farmers act as enablers for cultivation of income generating cash and food crops but acts as a barrier for female farmers by way of intra-household labor dynamics within collective plots iii) increase in land allocation to cotton and maize cultivation acts as enablers for increased household income but becomes a barrier to food security due to higher vulnerability to climate risks. Assessment of causal loop diagrams identified deep and shallow leverage points. Policies and interventions that focused on input subsidies and credit facilities are shallow leverage points where incremental changes will only lead to small improvements in farmers' livelihoods. Policies that support improved access and ownership of land to female farmers are deep leverage points that can potentially shift the dominant cropping pattern to more diversified and climate-resilient production.

For example, girls and women are regarded the same as boys and men; in turn, they should be treated equally. On another note, gender equity indicates fair treatments for women and men based on their respective needs. In most instances, gender equity might not include equality to practices using a liberal feminist perspective, but perceptions of fairness. As such, gender equity is considered equivalent treatment in terms of the allocation of rights and resources. Despite its important distinction between these two concepts gender equality and gender equity, however, the meanings are not clearly articulated in practice and thus lead to complex understandings of the terms. In this paper, we question the institutionalized gender inequality. Here we do not mean that women and men leaders to become the same, but the resource allocation. initiatives by inaugurating a female leadership development programme (FLDP)(2) 2 FIFA's gender initiatives in leadership can be traced back to their appointment of the first woman in the history of FIFA, Lydia Nsekera, to its 25-member executive committee in 2013. Ever since then, FIFA elected three women, including Lydia Nsekera, to the executive committees, and Moya Dodd, one of these members, committed herself to put extensive efforts to improve gender balance in football. As a result, FIFA formed a task force, chaired by Moya Dodd, to identify key areas and create detailed plans for women's football during the presidency of Sepp Blatter in 2014. As part of the efforts carried out by the task force, FIFA launched a nine-month female leadership development programme (FLDP) in May 2015. The FLDP aims to enhance gender diversity and inclusive decision-making practices while increasing the number of women leaders. In doing so, FIFA can convert such diversity initiatives into tangible benefits for women's football and eventually change leadership dynamics in football. After implementing the first edition of the FLDP, FIFA appointed two women in the positions of secretary-general and chief women's football in 2016. Because Moya Dodd and few colleagues from inside and outside FIFA have done a great deal of work to promote equitable leadership opportunities for women in football, FIFA has held a series of annual conferences and workshops for the development of women's football, as well as support for women in football governance. as well as appointing women(3) 3 While the terms sex and gender are often used interchangeably, there are distinctions between sex and gender. According to Powell (2018), sex is related to anatomical structure, referring to one's biological categories and physical characteristics that, in most cases, define female and male, as well as living organisms. The term gender, which has generally been used as a synonym for sex for the past decades, is related to an imposed sociocultural and psychological conditions for the biological categories of sex. The discourses surrounding gender is particularly associated with the socially constructed roles, attitudes, and behaviors of and between groups of men and women. For example, participation in sport and physical activities is perceived as inappropriate for girls and women and includes few activities such as dancing and gymnastics viewed as primarily for girls and women, if at all (Cunningham, 2019). As such, gender stereotypes and roles are closely associated with a particular sex and sport-with being masculine, feminine, or neutral (Burton et al., 2009). More recently, researchers have expanded the definition of gender and sex beyond the binary, arguing that gender can be fluid and multifaceted (Halberstam, 2012). In this case, people can challenge the restrictive views of gender to express diverse social meanings and expectations. While we recognize that gender can be seen as a spectrum, in this article, we indicate the term gender as the idea of how boys and girls or men and women are expected to behave at work. In doing so, we are able to discuss traditional gender role expectations associated with those behaviors adopted overtly or covertly by societal conditions. in leadership positions. As such, we draw from a new theoretical notion, glass cliff to explore why FIFA started FLDP and assigned women to leadership ranks.

We aimed to systematically review qualitative research on stakeholder experiences, attitudes and perspectives on inclusive education for pupils with developmental disabilities in mainstream schools in sub-Saharan Africa. We searched five databases and selected relevant studies through a two-stage screening process. We synthesised the papers identified through template analysis of the Results and Discussion sections, guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. Thirty-two publications met the inclusion criteria. The studies were conducted in seven countries and explored the experiences of pupils with developmental disabilities, parents, peers without developmental disabilities and teachers. Multiple barriers (e.g. unclear policies, insufficient training and support for teachers) and opportunities (e.g. teachers' commitment to inclusion, collaboration between teachers, the work of non-governmental organisations (NGOs)) for implementing inclusive education for pupils with developmental disabilities in sub-Saharan Africa were identified, occurring across national and community contexts and school, classroom and individual teacher levels. To effectively implement inclusive education for pupils with developmental disabilities, teachers need access to appropriate training, resources and support. Governments can capitalise on motivated teachers and the relevant work of NGOs. Lay abstract In sub-Saharan Africa, there are few services for children with developmental disabilities such as autism and intellectual disability. One way to support these children is to include them in mainstream schools. However, currently, African children with developmental disabilities are often excluded from mainstream education opportunities. People involved (e.g. teachers, families and children) can offer information on factors that could ease or interfere with inclusion. This article discusses the findings of published studies that explored the views of relevant groups on including children with developmental disabilities in mainstream schools in sub-Saharan Africa. We systematically searched the literature and identified 32 relevant articles from seven countries in sub-Saharan Africa. We found that unclear policies and insufficient training, resources and support for teachers often blocked the implementation of inclusive education. Factors in favour of inclusive education were the commitment of many teachers to include pupils with developmental disabilities and the work of non-governmental organisations (NGOs), which provided resources and training. This review suggests that motivated teachers should be provided with appropriate training, resources and support for inclusive education, directly and by promoting the work of NGOs.}, Type = {Review}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Genovesi, E (Corresponding Author), Kings Coll London, Inst Psychiat Psychol \& Neurosci IoPPN, Mezzanine Floor Addison House,Room AH M-03, London SE1 1UL, England.

Integrating the global HIV/AIDS response into universal health coverage may be inevitable to secure its achievements in the long run, and for expanding these achievements beyond addressing a single disease. However, this integration comes at a time when international financial support for the global HIV/AIDS response is declining, while political support for universal health coverage is not translated into financial support. To assess the risks, challenges and opportunities of the integration of the global HIV/AIDS response into national universal health coverage plans, we carried out assessments in Indonesia, Kenya, Uganda and Ukraine, based on key informant interviews with civil society, policy-makers and development partners, as well as on a review of grey and academic literature.ResultsIn the absence of international financial support, governments are turning towards national health insurance schemes to finance universal health coverage, making access to healthcare contingent on regular financial contributions. It is not clear how AIDS treatment will be fit in. While the global HIV/AIDS response accords special attention to exclusion due to sexual orientation and gender identity, sex work or drug use, efforts to achieve universal health coverage focus on exclusion due to poverty, gender and geographical inequalities. Policies aiming for universal health coverage try to include private healthcare providers in the health system, which could create a sustainable framework for civil society organisations providing HIV/AIDS-related services. While the global HIV/AIDS response insisted on the inclusion of civil society in decision-making policies, that is not (yet) the case for policies aiming for universal health coverage.DiscussionWhile there are many obstacles to successful integration of the global HIV/AIDS response into universal health coverage policies, integration seems inevitable and is happening. Successful integration will require expanding the principle of shared responsibility' which emerged with the global HIV/AIDS response to universal health coverage, rather than relying solely on domestic efforts for universal health coverage. The preference for national health insurance as the best way to achieve universal health coverage should be reconsidered. An alliance between HIV/AIDS advocates and proponents of universal health coverage requires mutual condemnation of discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, sex work or drug use, as well as addressing of exclusion based on poverty and other factors. The fulfilment of the promise to include civil society in decision-making processes about universal health coverage is long overdue.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Ooms, G (Corresponding Author), London Sch Hyg \& Trop Med, Dept Global Hlth \& Dev, 15-17 Tavistock Pl, London WC1H 9SH, England.

This study aimed to identify barriers and facilitators to access and communication for deaf individuals and Auslan interpreters in Australian general practice settings. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight Auslan interpreters and four deaf participants recruited from interpreter organisations and social media. Transcripts of interviews were coded inductively and deductively based on a model of access to health care. Results Patient, provider and contextual factors were reported. Patient barriers included English and Auslan fluency levels within the Australian Deaf Community. GP clinics varied in the degree of accommodation to the needs of deaf people. There were barriers related to the communication methods used by health care providers and their use of interpreters. Visual aids and flexibility in terms of the GP clinics' appointment systems facilitated access. Contextual barriers included the shortage of Auslan interpreters and the complexity of the National Disability Insurance Scheme. Conclusion The main barriers identified concerned the availability of interpreters, accommodation by health providers, cultural sensitivity and the adequacy of communication methods. Research is needed to explore the limitations of the National Disability Insurance Scheme and interventions to improve GPs' skills in communicating with Deaf individuals.

In addition,significant health disparities exist among demographic subgroups of youth defined by sex,race/ethnicity, and grade in school and between sexual minority and nonsexual minority youth. Population-based data on the most important healthrelated b behaviors at the national, state, and local levels can be used to help monitor the effectiveness of public health interventions designed to protect and promote the health of youth at the national, state, and local levels. Reporting Period Covered: September 2016-December 2017. Description of the System: The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) monitors six categories of priority healthrelated behaviors among youth and young adults: 1) behaviors that contribute to unintentional injuries and violence; 2) tobacco use; 3) alcohol and other drug use; 4) sexual behaviors related to unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection; 5) unhealthy dietary behaviors; and 6) physical inactivity. In addition, YRBSS monitors the prevalence of other health-related behaviors, obesity, and asthma. YRBSS includes a national school-based Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) conducted by CDC and state and large urban school district school-based YRBSs conducted by state and local education and health agencies. Starting with the 2015 YRBSS cycle, a question to ascertain sexual identity and a question to ascertain sex of sexual contacts were added to the national YRBS questionnaire and to the standard YRBS questionnaire used by the states and large urban school districts as a starting point for their questionnaire. This report summarizes results from the 2017 national YRBS for 121 health-related behaviors and for obesity, overweight, and asthma by demographic subgroups defined by sex, race/ethnicity, and grade in school and by sexual minority status; updates the numbers of sexual minority students nationwide; and describes overall trends in health-related behaviors during 1991-2017. This reports also summarizes results from 39 state and 21 large urban school district surveys with weighted data for the 2017 YRBSS cycle by sex and sexual minority status (where available). Results: Results from the 2017 national YRBS indicated that many high school students are engaged in health-risk behaviors associated with the leading causes of death among persons aged 10-24 years in the United States. During the 30 days before the survey, 39.2\% of high school students nationwide (among the 62.8\% who drove a car or other vehicle during the 30 days before the survey) had texted or e-mailed while drivng, 29.8\% reported current alcohol use, and 19.8\% reported current marijuana use. In addition, 14.0\% of students had taken prescription pain medicine without a doctor's prescription or differently than how a doctor told them to use it one or more times during their life. During the 12 months before the srvey, 19.0\% had been bullied on school property and 7.4\% had attempted suicide. Many high school students are engaged in sexual risk behaviors that relate to unintended pregnancies and STIs, including HIV infection. Nationwide, 39.5\% of students had ever had sexual intercourse and 9.7\% had had sexual intercourse with four or more persons during their life. Among currently sexually active students, 53.8\% and 9.7\% had had sexual intercourse with four or more persons durig their life. Among currently sexually aciv. students, 53-8\% reported that either they or their partner had used a condom during their last sexua intercourse. Results from the 2017 national YRBS also indicated many high schoel students arc engaged in behaviors associated with chrnic diseases, such as cardiovasular diease, cancer, and diabete. Nationwide, 8.8\% of high school students had smoked cig.rettes and 13-2\% had used an electronic vapor product on at least 1 day during the 30 days befoe the survey. Forty-three percent played video or computer games or used a computer for 3 or more hours per day on an average school day for something that was not school work and 15.4\% had not been physically active for a total of at least 60 minutes on at least 1 day during the 7 days befoe the suvey. Further, 14.8\% had .besity and 15.6\% were overweight. The prevalence of most health-related behavior varies by sex,raceethnicity, and, particularly, sexual dentity and sex of exual contact. Specifically, the prevalence of many health-risk behaviors is significantly higher among sexual minority students compared with nonsexual minority students.Nonetheless,analysis of long-term temporal trends indicates that the overall prevalence of most health-risk behaviors has moved in the desired direction. Interpretation: Most high school students cope with the transition from childhood through adolescence to adulthood successfully and become healthy and productive adults.However,this report documents that some subgroups of students defined by sex, race/ethnicity,grade in school, and especially sexual minority status have a higher prevalence of many health-risk behaviors that might place them at risk for unnecessary or premature mortality, morbidity, and social problems (e.g., academic failure, poverty, and crime). Public Health Action: YRBSS data are used widely to compare the prevalence of health-related behaviors among subpopulations of students; assess trends in health-related behaviors over time; monitor progress toward achieving 21 national health objectives; provide comparable state and large urban school district data; and take public health actions to decrease health-risk behaviors and improve health outcomes among youth. Using this and other reports based on scientifically sound data is important for raising awareness about the prevalence of health-related behaviors among students in grades 9-12, especially sexual minority students, among decision makers, the public, and a wide variety of agencies and organizations that work with youth. These agencies and organizations, including schools and youth-friendly health care providers, can help facilitate access to critically important education, health care, and high-impact, evidence-based interventions.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Kann, L (Corresponding Author), Natl Ctr HIV AIDS Viral Hepatitis STD \& TB Preven, Div Adolescent \& Sch Hlth, Atlanta, GA 30329 USA.

This mixed-method (quantitative and qualitative) study examined this issue in a more affluent setting, investigating the socio-economic structure of car commuting in Cambridge, UK. Our analyses involved integrating self-reported questionnaire data from 1142 participants in the Commuting and Health in Cambridge study (collected in 2009) and in-depth interviews with 50 participants (collected 2009-2010). Even in Britain's leading `cycling city', cars were a key resource in bridging the gap between individuals' desires and their circumstances. This applied both to long-term life goals such as home ownership and to shorter-term challenges such as illness. Yet car commuting was also subject to constraints, with rush hour traffic pushing drivers to start work earlier and with restrictions on, or charges for, workplace parking pushing drivers towards multimodal journeys (e.g. driving to a `park-and-ride' site then walking). These patterns of car commuting were socio-economically structured in several ways. First, the gradient of housing costs made living near Cambridge more expensive, affecting who could `afford' to cycle and perhaps making cycling the more salient local marker of Bourdieu's class distinction. Nevertheless, cars were generally affordable in this relatively affluent, highly-educated population, reducing the barrier which distance posed to labour-force participation. Finally, having the option of starting work early required flexible hours, a form of job control which in Britain is more common among higher occupational classes. Following a social model of disability, we conclude that socio-economic advantage can make car-oriented environments less disabling via both greater affluence and greater job control, and in ways manifested across the full socio-economic range. This suggests the importance of combining individual-level `healthy travel' interventions with measures aimed at creating travel environments in which all social groups can pursue healthy and satisfying lives.

Forum shopping involves actors seeking to realise their policy objectives within preferred policy arenas on the basis of an arena's particular governing characteristics. We examine the forum shopping behaviour of the key states, business and non-governmental groups in regard to three policy issues: labour standards, intellectual property rights, and chemicals regulation. Our preliminary analysis is centred around the questions of why actors forum shop, the circumstances in which forum shopping enables actors to succeed in promoting their interests, and the impact of forum shopping on the effectiveness of global governance. Our cases suggest an arena's membership, issue mandate, decision making procedures and enforcement capacity are the key characteristics that shape actors' arena preferences. Another important implication is that a multi-arena global governance system comprised of duplication and overlap in issue mandate (rather than large multilateral single issue arenas) may be beneficial for advancing actors' policy agendas. The overarching goal of the article is to spark more systematic research into the often practiced but under-theorised phenomenon of forum shopping.

It considers current issues in research, policy, practice, and law in the United States, including new questions arising in light of COVID-19, such as the nature of disability disclosure, workplace accommodations and remote work, emerging workplace health surveillance technologies, and inclusive employment practices for cancer survivors. It also presents, for comparative purposes, a current analysis of cancer-related disability discrimination in the media in the United States and Israel. Methods After the ``Introduction,{''} this special section presents two studies on disclosure of disability in employment: the first addressing disclosure during a job interview of the need for accommodations, and the second addressing disclosure as related to individual and organizational characteristics. The next two articles examine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the work experience: first, for people with disabilities working remotely, with implications for cancer survivors, and second, for cancer survivors and people with disabilities facing potential algorithmic health discrimination due to workplace health surveillance. The final article considers cancer-related stigma and discrimination, as faced in the United States and Israel (using a comparison of mass media). Results Disability-inclusive employment laws such as the ADA promote two central requirements: First, social institutions affirmatively remove attitudinal and structural barriers and discrimination confronting people with disabilities as they exercise their rights to participate fully in society. Second, employers, governmental entities, and public accommodations comply with the ``accommodation principle,{''} which requires them to make reasonable adjustments to job tasks, places of work, and public places in society, to enable equal participation by qualified individuals with disabilities. The articles in this special section consider these principles in innovative ways from a disability-inclusive paradigm. Conclusions The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for a robust research literature on disability-inclusive employment policy and practice for people with disabilities and for cancer survivors. This special section offers five articles as a start. The section's ``Introduction{''} also highlights recent ADA case law and introduces two new national Rehabilitation Research and Training Centers, one on Disability Inclusive Employment Policy ({''}DIEP RRTC{''}) and one on Employer Practices Leading to Successful Employment Outcomes Among People with Disabilities ({''}Employer Practices RRTC{''}), both designed to help fill this need.

Design: An exploratory study using structured questionnaires and secondary analysis of data routinely collected by the universities about students and their progress during their course. Settings: The study was conducted in eight universities within a large, multicultural city in the UK as part of the `Readiness for Work' research programme. Participants: Eight hundred and four newly qualified nurses who had successfully completed a diploma or degree from one of the universities; a response rate of 77\% representing 49\% of all graduating students in the study population. Methods: Data were collected by self-completed semi-structured questionnaires administered to students at the time of qualification and at three months post-qualification. Routinely collected data from the universities were also collected. Results: Fifty two percent of participants had been offered a job at the point of qualification (85\% of those who had applied and been interviewed). Of these, 99\% had been offered a nursing post, 88\% in the city studied, 67\% in the healthcare setting where they had completed a course placement. 44\% felt ``confident{''} and 32\% ``very confident{''} about their employment prospects. Predictors of employment success included ethnicity, specialty of nursing and university attended. Predictors of confidence and preparedness for job seeking included ethnicity, nursing specialty, gender and grade of degree. Newly qualified nurses from non-White/British ethnic groups were less likely to get a job and feel confident about and prepared for job seeking. Conclusions: This study has demonstrated that ethnicity does lead to employment disadvantage for newly qualified nurses. This is an important contribution towards recognizing and describing the evidence so that appropriate responses and interventions can be developed. It is important that universities and healthcare institutions work closely together to support students at this important time in their nursing career. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Autistic adults are more likely to be unemployed or underemployed when compared with neurotypical adults and people with other disabilities. There are many environmental barriers to participating in adult activities in the community, but issues with transportation are a primary barrier. In previous research, a high number of autistic adults (72\%) reported that they had missed some of their desired activities due to lack of transportation. It is important to understand the relationship between transportation and employment to know how to overcome barriers and improve employment options for autistic adults who want to work. What was the purpose of this research?The purpose of this research was to look at transportation and employment status (i.e., employed or unemployed). Specifically, this study compared types of transportation used and perceived barriers to transportation between autistic adults who were employed and those who were unemployed. What did the researchers do?Information was collected from 1120 autistic adults through a large statewide survey, which included questions about employment and transportation. Information from autistic adults who were employed and those who were not employed was compared. What were the results of the study?Results of this comparison showed that participants who were employed were more likely to drive themselves and less likely to take rides from other people or to use service transportation. Those who were employed also reported fewer barriers to public transportation. Barriers such as crime, planning a trip, treatment by fellow passengers, cost, knowledge on how to use public transportation, and sensory overload were identified by more people who were unemployed than by people who were employed. How will these findings help autistic adults now or in the future?The study identified specific barriers to transportation for autistic adults who are unemployed. This information can help to guide supports and policies to reduce barriers for travel needed for employment. In addition, results of this study can help guide future research to develop or identify the transportation skills needed for travel to work for autistic adults. Background: Autistic adults are significantly unemployed or underemployed even compared with other disability groups. Employment is a social determinant that, when satisfied, closely influences health-related quality of life. For autistic adults, environmental barriers to transportation can impact the ability to get to employment resulting in limited employment opportunities. This study provides a closer examination of the association between transportation use and employment status.Objective: To examine the use of different types of transportation and barriers to public transit by employed and unemployed autistic adults.Method: The data were from a large statewide study conducted between May 2017 and June 2018 using the Pennsylvania Autism Needs Assessment (PANA), in which information about employment and transportation use was obtained from autistic adults who were residents of Pennsylvania. The study sample included 1120 autistic adults (M-age = 28.03 years, standard deviation = 9.84; 70\% men; 82\% non-Hispanic White).Results: Participants who were employed were more likely to drive themselves than those who were unemployed (45\% vs. 21\%, p < 0.001), while they were less likely to take rides from others (62\% vs. 75\%, p < 0.001) or use service transportation (11\% vs. 18\%, p = 0.001). For barriers to public transit, the results identified that employed participants reported fewer barriers to public transportation than unemployed participants with a small effect size (1.98 vs. 2.54, d = 0.22).Conclusion: Employed autistic adults exercise more transportation independence. Unemployed autistic adults report more barriers to participation and lower ability to independently use public transportation. Future transportation and employment studies are necessary.}, Type = {Article; Early Access}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Pfeiffer, B (Corresponding Author), Temple Univ, Coll Publ Hlth, Hlth \& Rehabil Sci, 1913 North Broad St,Mitten Hall,Suite 201, Philadelphia, PA 19122 USA.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples living in social housing face common social housing challenges of low income, higher incidence of mental health issues and poorer health along with specific challenges due to the impacts of colonisation and its ongoing manifestations in racism and inequity. A greater understanding of social and emotional wellbeing needs and aspirations is essential in informing the provision of appropriate support.MethodsSurveys of social and emotional wellbeing (SEWB) were completed by 95 Aboriginal people aged 16 years and older living in Aboriginal Housing Victoria social housing in 2021. The survey addressed a range of domains reflecting social and emotional wellbeing, as defined by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.ResultsMost respondents demonstrated a strong sense of identity and connection to family however 26\% reported having 6 or more health conditions. Ill health and disability were reported to be employment barriers for almost a third of people (32\%). Improving health and wellbeing (78\%) was the most cited aspiration. Experiences of racism and ill health influenced engagement with organisations and correspondingly education and employment.ConclusionStrong connections to identity, family and culture in Aboriginal peoples living in social housing coexist along with disrupted connections to mind, body and community. Culturally safe and appropriate pathways to community services and facilities can enhance these connections. Research aimed at evaluating the impact of strengths-based interventions that focus on existing strong connections will be important in understanding whether this approach is effective in improving SEWB in this population.Trial Registration: This trial was retrospectively registered with the ISRCTN Register on the 12/7/21 with the study ID:ISRCTN33665735.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Brown, A (Corresponding Author), Univ Melbourne, Parkville, Vic 3010, Australia.

Overarching policymaking to date has included the use of biomass to deliver sector specific aims (e.g. climate change, energy, etc.) however, this is mostly planned without adjusting support across the most challenging stages of biomass value chains and exploiting specific advantages related to their geographic settings (e.g. domestic feedstocks, local markets, etc.). Policies to date have, therefore, resulted in fragmented, suboptimal biomass use and debates for sustainability and resource efficiency. This opinion paper arose from the project Strategic Initiative for Resource Efficient Biomass Policies Funded by the EU Commission. It discusses the development of a dedicated Biomass Policy Framework which applies the principles of value chain analysis in policy design to enable the market uptake of sustainable, domestic, resource efficient biomass solutions. Firstly, it explains how to provide context by identifying value chains which can offer competitive advantages for biomass mobilization, market infrastructures, rural and economic development within their geographic setting. Then the work builds on the context and prioritized value chains and further rationalizes policy needs and aims within individual value chain stages. This is done by identifying policy-related challenges and gaps that constrain sustainable and resource efficient deployment of the selected value chains. Also, it suggests policy interventions that will overcome challenges, resolve gaps and as a result mobilize local biomass and improve market uptake. Finally, it discusses the contrasting paradigms for biomass policy formation within single sector target setting and the value chain approach of the Biomass Policy Framework and uses the case of low carbon biomass heat to illustrate the strengths of the suggested approach. The paper concludes with remarks for the concept of biomass value chain analysis in policy.}, Type = {Editorial Material}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Panoutsou, C (Corresponding Author), Imperial Coll London, Ctr Environm Policy, 16-18 Princes Gardens, London SW7 1NE, England.

In India, restrictions on girls' liberty to move freely in public spaces contribute to school dropout and early marriage, and negatively affect girls' health and wellbeing, from adolescence into adulthood. We report on mechanisms of change among female mentors 18 to 24 years old who contested discriminatory norms while implementing a sports-based programme for adolescent girls in a Mumbai slum. Methods: We adopted a prospective qualitative research design. Our analysis is based on case studies derived from two rounds of face to face, in -depth interviews with 10 young women recruited to serve as mentors for the project's young female athletes. We combined both thematic and narrative analysis. Results: The programme created opportunities for collective action, increasing mentors' ability to think and relate in a collectivized manner, and challenged the traditional female identity constructed for young women, which centres on domestic duties. The mentors themselves negotiated freedoms both in and outside their homes, which required careful and strategic bargaining. They changed the nature of key day-to-day social interactions with parents and brothers, as well as with neighbours, parents of their groups of athletes and men on the streets. They formed a new reference group for each other in terms of what was possible and acceptable. Demonstrating greater negotiation skills within the family helped win parents' trust in the mentor's ability to be safe in public spaces. Parents became active supporters by not giving into social sanctions of neighbours and relatives thus co-producing a new identity for their daughters as respectable young women doing `good work'. They effectively side stepped reputational risk with their presence in public spaces becoming de-sexualised. Conclusions: Mentors contested mobility restrictions by taking risks as a group first, with collective agency an important step towards greater individual agency. This research provides important insights into addressing embedded social norms that perpetuate gender discriminatory practices and the social patterning of health inequalities.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Bankar, S (Corresponding Author), Int Ctr Res Women, 603 Affaires,Sect 17,Palm Beach Rd, Bombay 400705, Maharashtra, India.

This study aimed to describe the status of IPC practices among health and social workers providing care for older adults in the Philippines; investigate the perceived barriers to its implementation and perceived effects on geriatric care; and identify possible solutions to address the barriers limiting collaborative practice. Methods A case study approach was utilized employing 12 semi-structured in-depth interviews and 29 focus group discussions with care workers from selected primary health care units, public and private hospitals, and nursing homes that are directly involved in geriatric care delivery in two cities in the Philippines. Overall, 174 health and social workers consented to participate in this study. All interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. An inductive thematic analysis using NVivo 12 (R) was used to identify and categorize relevant thematic codes. Results Interprofessional geriatric care provided by health and social workers was observed to be currently limited to ad hoc communications typically addressing only administrative concerns. This limitation is imposed by a confluence of barriers such as personal values and beliefs, organizational resource constraints, and a silo system care culture which practitioners say negatively influences care delivery. This in turn results in inability of care providers to access adequate care information, as well as delays and renders inaccessible available care provided to vulnerable older adults. Uncoordinated care of older adults also led to reported inefficient duplication and overlap of interventions. Conclusion Geriatric care workers fear such barriers may aggravate the increasing unmet needs of older adults. In order to address these potential negative outcomes, establishing a clear and committed system of governance that includes IPC is perceived as necessary to install a cohesive service delivery mechanism and provide holistic care for older adults. Future studies are needed to measure the effects of identified barriers on the potential of IPC to facilitate an integrated health and social service delivery system for the improvement of quality of life of older adults in the Philippines.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Nakamura, K (Corresponding Author), Tokyo Med \& Dent Univ, Div Publ Hlth, Dept Global Hlth Entrepreneurship, Tokyo 1138519, Japan.

The needs of Aboriginal children with disability are particularly poorly understood. They can endure long delays in treatment which can impact adversely on development. This study sought to ascertain the factors involved in accessing services and support for Aboriginal children with a disability. Methods: Using the focus group method, two community forums, one for health and service providers and one for carers of Aboriginal children with a disability, were held at an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service (ACCHS) in the Sydney, metropolitan area of New South Wales, Australia. Framework analysis was applied to qualitative data to elucidate key issues relevant to the dimensions of access framework. Independent coding consistency checks were performed and consensus of analysis verified by the entire research team, several of whom represented the local Aboriginal community. Results: Seventeen health and social service providers representing local area government and non-government-funded health and social service organisations and five carers participated in two separate forums between September and October 2011. Lack of awareness of services and inadequate availability were prominent concerns in both groups despite geographic proximity to a major metropolitan area with significant health infrastructure. Carers noted racism, insufficient or non-existent services, and the need for an enhanced role of ACCHSs and AHWs in disability support services. Providers highlighted logistical barriers and cultural and historical issues that impacted on the effectiveness of mainstream services for Aboriginal people. Conclusions: Despite dedicated disability services in an urban community, geographic proximity does not mitigate lack of awareness and availability of support. This paper has enumerated a number of considerations to address provision of disability services in an urban Australian Aboriginal community including building expertise and specialist capacity within Aboriginal Health Worker positions and services. Increasing awareness of services, facilitating linkages and referrals, eliminating complexities to accessing support, and working with families and Aboriginal community organisations within a framework of resilience and empowerment to ensure a relevant and acceptable model are necessary steps to improving support and care for Aboriginal children with a disability.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {DiGiacomo, M (Corresponding Author), Univ Technol Sydney, Fac Hlth, Ctr Cardiovasc \& Chron Care, POB 123, Broadway, NSW 2007, Australia.

UK audit shows low implementation rates. Interventions to improve this have had minimal effects. Quality improvement programmes could be further developed by using theoretical frameworks (Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF)) to modify existing interventions by identifying influences on clinical behaviour and selecting appropriate content. The aim of this study was to illustrate using this process to modify an intervention designed using plan-do-study-act (P-D-S-A) cycles that had achieved partial success in improving Sepsis Six implementation in one hospital. Methods: Factors influencing implementation were investigated using the TDF to analyse interviews with 34 health professionals. The nursing team who developed and facilitated the intervention used the data to select modifications using the Behaviour Change Technique (BCT) Taxonomy (v1) and the APEASE criteria: affordability, practicability, effectiveness, acceptability, safety and equity. Results: Five themes were identified as influencing implementation and guided intervention modification. These were:(1) ``knowing what to do and why{''} (TDF domains knowledge, social/professional role and identity); (2) ``risks and benefits{''} (beliefs about consequences), e. g. fear of harming patients through fluid overload acting as a barrier to implementation versus belief in the bundle's effectiveness acting as a lever to implementation; (3) ``working together{''} (social influences, social/professional role and identity), e. g. team collaboration acting as a lever versus doctor/nurse conflict acting as a barrier; (4) ``empowerment and support{''} (beliefs about capabilities, social/professional role and identity, behavioural regulation, social influences), e. g. involving staff in intervention development acting as a lever versus lack of confidence to challenge colleagues' decisions not to implement acting as a barrier; (5) ``staffing levels{''} (environmental context and resources), e. g. shortages of doctors at night preventing implementation. The modified intervention included six new BCTs and consisted of two additional components (Sepsis Six training for the Hospital at Night Co-ordinator; a partnership agreement endorsing engagement of all clinical staff and permitting collegial challenge) and modifications to two existing components (staff education sessions; documents and materials). Conclusions: This work demonstrates the feasibility of the TDF and BCT Taxonomy (v1) for developing an existing quality improvement intervention.

This is problematic given the known attitudinal, structural and resource barriers to intersectoral collaboration in high-income country mental health systems. This study was conducted to investigate intersectoral collaboration for people-centred mental health care in Timor-Leste, a South-East Asian country in the process of strengthening its mental health system. Methods This study employed a mixed-methods convergent design. Qualitative data elicited from in-depth interviews with 85 key stakeholders and document review were complemented with quantitative social network analysis to assess understandings of, the strength and structure of intersectoral collaboration in the Timorese mental health system. Results There was consensus among stakeholder groups that intersectoral collaboration for mental health is important in Timor-Leste. Despite resource restrictions discussed by participants, interview data and social network analysis revealed evidence of information and resource sharing among organisations working within the health and social (disability and violence support) sectors in Timor-Leste (network density = 0.55 and 0.30 for information and resource sharing, respectively). Contrary to the assumption that mental health services and system strengthening are led by the Ministry of Health, the mixed-methods data sources identified a split in stewardship for mental health between subnetworks in the health and social sectors (network degree centralisation = 0.28 and 0.47 for information and resource sharing, respectively). Conclusions Overall, the findings suggest that there may be opportunities for intersectoral collaborations in mental health systems in LMICs which do not exist in settings with more formalised mental health systems such as HICs. Holistic understandings of health and wellbeing, and a commitment to working together in the face of resource restrictions suggest that intersectoral collaboration can be employed to achieve people-centred mental health care in Timor-Leste.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Hall, T (Corresponding Author), Univ Melbourne, Nossal Inst Global Hlth, 333 Exhibit St, Melbourne, Vic 3004, Australia.

This rural exodus, in turn, has a limiting influence on the generation of economic dynamics, resulting in an increasingly ageing population and reducing opportunities for territorial development. In the face of this problem, cooperatives -societies of the social economy- may play a significant role in terms of their capacity for attaching a population to its territory, due to the existence of a relationship with the surroundings in which they operate, as demonstrated by the available literature on this topic (Garcia-Gutierrez, 1999; Buendia and Garcia, 2003; Coque, 2005; Mozas and Bernal, 2006; Cunat and Coll, 2007; Puentes and Velasco, 2009; Calvo and Gonzalez, 2011; Demoustier, 2011; Draperi, 2014; Guzman, Santos and Barroso, 2016; Perez and Valiente, 2017). Moreover, there is significant cooperativism in this region (with 19\% of cooperatives and 18\% of the employment these generate nationwide located in Andalusia) as well as consolidated institutional recognition of these organisations (as evinced by the laws which regulate them, as well as by the Pactos Andaluces por la Economia Social {[}Andalusia Agreements for the Social Economy] or by the various support programs for cooperative organisations).This represents an opportunity for the creation of economic dynamics and for attaching the population to its territory through the promotion of social economy societies. Objectives The main objective of this work consists in determining whether cooperative societies in Andalusia may be contributing to the maintenance of the region's population, especially in rural areas, to a greater extent than mercantile businesses. In addition to confirming whether this occurs throughout the entire population, we have separated out the populations of women and young people, due to the difficulties currently faced by these groups in joining the labour market (the main reason for emigration, especially in rural areas) and to their strategic interest in terms of consolidating the region's population, passing the inter-generational torch in local economic activities. A comparison of cooperative societies with mercantile businesses is carried out in order to lay the foundations for the establishment of strategies and policies for the specific promotion of cooperativism, in the event that the behaviour seen in these social economy organisations differs from that of mercantile businesses. Methodology In working towards the stated objective, and after an exploratory analysis of the variables used, spatial econometrics techniques were applied which take into account the location of the data in a given geographic space for the variables under study: spatial distribution and autocorrelation analysis graph-sand the application of spatial regression. Calculation of the models was carried out with GeoDa software. With respect to the variables used, these were the following: percentage of total emigration, percentage of emigration of young people and percentage of emigration of women were considered as dependent, proxy variables for the attachment of population to territory; the number of cooperatives out of the total number of businesses was established, as well as the number of mercantile businesses (public limited companies and limited liability companies) out of the total number of businesses, expressed as percentages, served as explanatory variables. These variables were obtained for the various Andalusian municipalities (a total of 770) for 2015. In addition, for the purpose of determining whether differences exist in emigration between rural and non-rural municipalities, a dummy variable was added, termed rural municipality or territory. Results, practical conclusions and research limitations The results obtained provide indications that cooperativism may be contributing to an attachment of the population to its territory (as compared to mercantile businesses, where a significant relationship was not seen), since the regression analyses demonstrated that the variable for percentage of cooperative societies is significant in explaining the variability seen in emigration. Moreover, both show an inverse relationship. The same was obtained when the said dependent variables used were percentage of emigration of women and young people. In other words, the proportion of cooperatives inversely influence these emigration rates, which is not the case for mercantile businesses. Based on the aforementioned and given that, on the one hand, difficulties in attaching a population to its territory are further complicated in rural Andalusian municipalities, especially for women and young people and, on the other hand, cooperativism inversely influences emigration from rural municipalities, the creation of quality, sustainable employment through cooperatives societies of social economy- may represent an opportunity for reducing problems of depopulation in these areas. Another result obtained is that the cooperative business culture may be spread to neighbouring regions to a lesser extent than that of the conventional business sector. If cooperativism can contribute to an attachment of population to territory, the application of specific policies and strategies for reducing emigration from rural areas -promoting the development of cooperative societies for the creation of quality, sustainable employment and thus spreading cooperative culture to a greater extent-becomes at once a challenge and an opportunity for Andalusia. From another perspective, business synergies between cooperativism and conventional businesses may be encouraged, making the most of the opportunity offered by the latter for spreading their culture to neighbouring regions to a greater degree than cooperativism. In this way, spreading the principles and values of cooperativism in the Andalusian region can be achieved at the same time as contributing to an attachment of population to territory, through a potential business inter-cooperation. Among the conclusions drawn, one also finds the need to carry out specific strategies and policies for promoting cooperativism in Andalusia, derived from results showing more heterogeneous behaviour in the region than seen in the conventional business sector. With regard to the limitations of this work, it should be noted that, in the first place, the analysis carried out is static in nature, based on specific moment in time (the year 2015), which represents a limitation for analysing the evolutionary dynamic followed by both cooperatives societies and emigration in Andalusia. In the second place, percentage of emigration was taken as a proxy or indicative variable, with respect to the difficulty in attaching a population to its territory. However, the presence of other factors must be taken into account: it may be that the percentage of emigration is low or null as a result of considerable ageing in the population, such that depopulation or difficulty in attaching population to territory would be caused, rather, by a lack of demographic growth. This work has established a number of future lines of research stemming in part from the very limitations indicated above, among which are the analysis of the evolutionary dynamic between cooperativism and emigration for the purpose of identifying the relationship these have followed over time; as well as consideration of other factors indicating capacity for attaching population to territory, such as the previously mentioned rate of demographic growth.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Spanish}, Affiliation = {Palma, LV (Corresponding Author), Univ Cadiz, Cadiz, Spain.

However, research on the distributional aspects of these shocks on mental health status is limited. In the health inequality literature no Australian studies have examined this relationship. Objective: This study examines the distributional impact of life shocks (negative life events and financial hardships) on mental health inequality among different socioeconomic groups in a longitudinal setting in Australia. Methods: This study analysed the data of 13,496 individuals from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey, waves 12-17 (2012-2017). Using concentration index and Blinder-Oaxaca approaches, the study decomposed socioeconomic inequalities in mental health and changes in inequalities in mental health over the study period. The study used frailty indices to capture the severity of life shocks experienced by an individual. Results: The results suggest that exposure to just one life shock will result in a greater risk of mental disorder in the most disadvantaged socioeconomic groups. The results also indicate that 24.7\%-40.5\% of pro-rich socioeconomic mental health inequality are due to life shocks. Financial hardship shocks contributes to 21.6\%-35.4\% of inequality compared with 2.3\%-5.4\% inequality generated by negative life event shocks across waves. Conclusions: Lower SES groups experience more life shocks than higher SES groups and in turn generate higher socioeconomic mental health inequality. Policies aimed at reducing socioeconomic inequality in mental health should account for these shocks when designing interventions. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.

The pillars of openness proposed by this project are: open scientific infrastructures, dialogue with different knowledge systems, as well as engagement with different social sectors, namely citizen and participatory science. The five main manifestations of open science are: open access to scientific publications, open access to research data, open educational resources, open software and hardware. However, in order to create an enabling policy environment for open science, the Recommendation calls for the promotion of responsible research evaluation practices that encourage quality science, recognising the diversity of results and stimulating the different missions of the university. Promoting a culture of open science is a complex task that requires integrated information systems to understand, promote and evaluate the universe of research outputs and activities. For this reason, one of the main concerns raised in this Recommendation is that, even with its good intentions, open science could widen the gap between technologically advanced countries and poorer countries with precarious digital infrastructure.Thus, the unilateral growth of open science platforms in dominant countries would not only increase inequalities in access to science, but also enable different forms of exaction of data or commercial use of the efforts made in the periphery. The dominant role played by English as interoperable code also increases the existing asymmetries, putting at risk multillingualism and bibliodiversity that are critical for the equitable advancement of science. The Open Science movement emerged from the scientific community and has spread rapidly throughout the different nations, demanding the opening of the doors of knowledge. Academics, publishers, librarians, students, officials and citizens are joining this call. In this work we analyze the progress in terms of open access in non-hegemonic countries, as well as its obstacles and asymmetries. In Latin America, progress has been made in collaborative infrastructures, digitization processes, repositories, editorial professionalization, national regulations and other forms of government support. But these advances contrast with a very incipient incidence of the incentives for open access publication and even less for open access to research data in the systems of categorization and promotion of researchers. The same occurs with project financing instruments, even in countries with a national open access law, where it is observed that the impact factor of publications continues to define successful projects and there are practically no evaluation criteria that weight open science. At tenure and categorization systems for researchers, there is still a predominance of global criteria of excellence and university rankings, which reveals a sort of alienation between government efforts at the service of noncommercial open access and the evaluation systems still anchored in the laws of the prestige industry created by the publishing oligopolies. This also explains that despite the regional development of indexing systems that guarantee the academic quality of the published production, Latin American journals, the vast majority of which are diamond access, still encounter many difficulties in gaining legitimacy in the academic community. The paper addresses the vital importance to advance in the integration of information systems and repositories in CRIS systems, delving on the particular relevance of the Norwegian model, to promote the shift towards a comprehensive evaluation. These services are the unique mean to includes all local scientific production, in all languages and formats,while rewarding open science practices. The pilot experiences of Brazil and Peru analyzed in this paper shows that compared to institutional CRIS, the national CRIS have a great starting complexity, but they foster a true integration of all the universities and organizations. And for those institutions that develop an institutional CRIS with software and interoperable links in the public domain, they will be able to integrate decisively to strengthen these national scientific information systems and will use its benefits for their own needs. The fact that the Latin American CRIS pilot projects are national and not institutional, as in Europe, is due to the way in which the databases and information systems are financed. Most of the universities that contribute to scientific and technological research in the region are public and participate in national information systems. Given their reliance on public funds, these institutions rarely have the resources to finance an institutional CRIS system, much less purchase it as a package from the large companies that offer these services. It also contributes in this direction that the CRIS pilots appear in the public domain, which will be a strength in the medium and long term. Open software such as dSPACE, used as the basis of the platform in Peru, for example, guarantees that scientific information contributes to fulfilling the promise of open science, but at the same time offers a fruitful path to repatriate data and fight against asymmetries in the circulation of knowledge produced. The paper addresses broadly the structural inequalities affecting low- and middle-income countries, pointing out the main asymmetries that condition open science pathways in the global South.The first part describes the global endowment of repositories, integrated scientific information systems and scientific journals. The second part focuses on the experience of Latin America, which has a collaborative infrastructure that has been developing since the 1950s, but still faces major challenges in making the transition from open access to open science. Finally, it discusses the critical role of evaluation systems in the region to produce a transformation of the magnitude of open science, without giving up sovereignty and social anchoring.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Spanish}, Affiliation = {Beigel, F (Corresponding Author), Consejo Nacl Invest Cient \& Tecn, Buenos Aires, DF, Argentina.

The reasons for this are different, and teachers substantiate them primarily by improving the quality of the teaching process, motivating students, and improving student outcomes. Research into virtual communities and the processes of developing these communities in virtual learning environments is a relatively new area of research in HE. The beginnings of a more systematic examination of the area go back to the 90s and mostly dealt the concept of social presence in the virtual environment and its influence on learning processes and outcomes (Gunawardena in Zittle 1997). The findings of these and other studies confirm the assumption that the key to successful learning in virtual learning environments is developing effective (learning) communities. In this article, the theory of the Community of Inquiry (CoI), developed in 1999 by Garrison, Anderson and Archer (2000), will be presented as one of the most famous models for understanding learning in the virtual environment. The CoI model assumes that effective communication in a virtual environment is not merely a consequence of the working of cognitive factors and the teacher's interventions; instead, the social aspect is equally important, which means that effective e-education requires the existence of a community. In this article, we will focus on the characteristics of virtual learning environments, their advantages and weaknesses and try to formulate an answer to the question whether the CoI model could be employed as a method to encourage collaborative learning in the virtual learning environment and describe the determinants that enable such learning.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Slovenian}, Affiliation = {Radovan, M (Corresponding Author), Univ Ljubljani, Filozofska Fak, Oddelek Pedagogiko \& Andragogiko, Askerceva 2, SI-1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Facilitators of and barriers to implementation of locally adapted clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) have not been explored. Methods: This ethnographic study based on the theory of participatory action research (PAR) was conducted in Kenyatta National Hospital, Kenya's largest teaching hospital. The primary intervention consisted of dissemination of locally adapted CPGs. The PRECEDE-PROCEED health education model was used as the conceptual framework to guide and examine further reinforcement activities to improve the uptake of the CPGs. Activities focussed on introduction of routine clinical audits and tailored educational sessions. Data were collected by a participant observer who also facilitated the PAR over an eighteen-month period. Naturalistic inquiry was utilized to obtain information from all hospital staff encountered while theoretical sampling allowed in-depth exploration of emerging issues. Data were analysed using interpretive description. Results: Relevance of the CPGs to routine work and emergence of a champion of change facilitated uptake of best-practices. Mobilization of basic resources was relatively easily undertaken while activities that required real intellectual and professional engagement of the senior staff were a challenge. Accomplishments of the PAR were largely with the passive rather than active involvement of the hospital management. Barriers to implementation of best-practices included i) mismatch between the hospital's vision and reality, ii) poor communication, iii) lack of objective mechanisms for monitoring and evaluating quality of clinical care, iv) limited capacity for planning strategic change, v) limited management skills to introduce and manage change, vi) hierarchical relationships, and vii) inadequate adaptation of the interventions to the local context. Conclusions: Educational interventions, often regarded as ` quick-fixes' to improve care in low-income countries, may be necessary but are unlikely to be sufficient to deliver improved services. We propose that an understanding of organizational issues that influence the behaviour of individual health professionals should guide and inform the implementation of best-practices.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Irimu, GW (Corresponding Author), Univ Nairobi, Coll Hlth Sci, Dept Paediat \& Child Hlth, POB 19676-00202, Nairobi, Kenya.

These disparities are often overlooked due to a lack of information on microlevel emission data, especially in smaller cities and rural areas. The current work in an Indian district, Saharanpur, proposes the use of novel data sets to estimate microlevel emissions from air-polluting infrastructure sectors in urban and rural areas for use in pollutant transport models. Health impacts estimated based on the surface PM2.5 concentration suggest that the rate of premature deaths is 158 (95\% CI: 122- 163) and 143 (95\% CI: 65-151) deaths per 100 000 people in urban and rural areas, respectively. Sixty-eight percent of the 6372 (95\% CI: 3321-6987) annual premature deaths occurs in rural areas. Depicting higher contribution-exposure disparities among socioeconomic groups, the study observed that compared to their contribution to air pollution, low socioeconomic status (SES) groups in the region experience 6,7, 7, and 26\% more premature deaths from PM2.5 exposure for industries, household cooking fuel burning, open waste burning, and transportation, respectively. The majority of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in the study domain are observed in economically weaker worker categories. Reduced income due to the loss of these life years will significantly impact these groups due to their dependence on daily wages for basic life necessities.

Nurse-led strategies provide comprehensive harm prevention to keep the most vulnerable patients safe in hospital, but gaps in care are common. Nursing roles and activities to prevent harm to patients during acute hospitalization are poorly understood. Aim The aim of this study was to identify nurses' perceived enablers and barriers to the implementation of comprehensive harm prevention for older people admitted to an acute hospital setting. Design Anonymous, online, cross-sectional survey. Methods The adapted Influences on Patient Safety Behaviours Questionnaire (IPSBQ) was used to collect data from nurses working on five general medicine wards across three hospitals of a single tertiary health service in Australia in 2019. Participants also rated their perceptions of overall quality of care, missed care and awareness of strategies for an eight-factor framework for comprehensive harm prevention. The STROBE reporting checklist was used. Results Ward response rates between 35\% and 58\% resulted in 132 complete questionnaires for analyses. High mean scores for behavioural regulation (3.28), beliefs about capabilities (2.96) and environmental context and resources (2.73) indicated these domains were perceived by nurses as enablers. Low mean scores for the domains of intentions (1.65), beliefs about consequences (1.69), optimism (1.72) and professional role and identity (1.85) indicated these were barriers to comprehensive harm prevention by nurses. High perceived quality of care (scored 9-10/10) (p = .024), and awareness of strategies for the eight-factor framework (p = .019) were significant enablers of comprehensive harm prevention. Conclusion Targeted evidence-based strategies that include education, persuasion, incentivization, coercion and modelling would be most useful for promoting comprehensive harm prevention by nurses.

Understanding implications for its successful implementation is important to guide health policy and decision-makers in Sub-Saharan Africa. This review aims to synthesize the evidence on rural pipeline implementation and impacts in sub-Saharan Africa.MethodsWe conducted a scoping review using Joanna Briggs Institute guidebook. We searched in PubMed and Google scholar databases and the grey literature. We conducted a thematic analysis to assess the studies. Data were reported following the PRISMA extension for Scoping reviews guidelines.ResultsOf the 443 references identified through database searching, 22 met the inclusion criteria. Rural pipeline pillars that generated impacts included ensuring that more rural students are selected into programmes; developing a curriculum oriented towards rural health and rural exposure during training; curriculum oriented to rural health delivery; and ensuring retention of health workers in rural areas through educational and professional support. These impacts varied from one pillar to another and included: increased in number of rural health practitioners; reduction in communication barriers between healthcare providers and community members; changes in household economic and social circumstances especially for students from poor family; improvement of health services quality; improved health education and promotion within rural communities; and motivation of community members to enrol their children in school. However, implementation of rural pipeline resulted in some unintended impacts such as perceived workload increased by trainee's supervisors; increased job absenteeism among senior health providers; patients' discomfort of being attended by students; perceived poor quality care provided by students which influenced health facilities attendance. Facilitating factors of rural pipeline implementation included: availability of learning infrastructures in rural areas; ensuring students' accommodation and safety; setting no age restriction for students applying for rural medical schools; and appropriate academic capacity-building programmes for medical students. Implementation challenges included poor preparation of rural health training schools' candidates; tuition fees payment; limited access to rural health facilities for students training; inadequate living and working conditions; and perceived discrimination of rural health workers.ConclusionThis review advocates for combined implementation of rural pipeline pillars, taking into account the specificity of country context. Policy and decision-makers in sub-Saharan Africa should extend rural training programmes to involve nurses, midwives and other allied health professionals. Decision-makers in sub-Saharan Africa should also commit more for improving rural living and working environments to facilitate the implementation of rural health workforce development programmes.}, Type = {Review}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Kolié, D (Corresponding Author), Minist Hlth, Maferinyah Natl Training \& Res Ctr Rural Hlth, Forecariah, Guinea.

It has been hypothesized that marriage is associated with good health because marriage has beneficial effects on health (marriage protection effects) and/or because healthier individuals are more likely to marry and to stay married (marriage selection effects). To investigate these hypotheses, this study analyzes prospective panel data for a large national sample of women in the U.S. (the National Longitudinal Surveys of Young Women). The women were aged 24-34 yr at the beginning of two successive five-year follow-up intervals. Analyses of the prospective data indicate that there were significant marriage protection effects, but only among women who were not employed. Specifically, for women who were not employed, married women had better health trends than unmarried women in each follow-up interval. It appears that marriage had beneficial effects on health for women who did not have a job which could provide an alternative source of financial resources and social support. In addition, analyses of the prospective data provide limited evidence for marriage selection effects. Specifically, women who had better health initially were more likely to marry and less likely to experience marital dissolution, but only for women who were not employed full-time and only during the first follow-up interval. Thus, the prospective evidence suggests that, for women who were not employed, both marriage protection and marriage selection effects contributed to the marital status differential in health observed in cross-sectional data. In contrast, neither marriage protection nor marriage selection effects were observed for women who were employed full-time. As would be expected, the cross-sectional data show that marital status differentials in health were large and highly significant for women who were not employed, whereas marital status differentials in health were much smaller and often not significant for employed women. Women who were neither married nor employed had particularly poor health. Additional evidence indicates that the women who were neither married nor employed suffered from multiple interacting disadvantages, including poor health, low incomes, and sociodemographic characteristics which contributed to difficulty in obtaining employment.

Thus, the aim of this systematic review of reviews was to summarize the evidence on barriers and facilitators of domain-specific physical activity. Methods We included systematic reviews with or without meta-analysis that investigated the association between modifiable barriers and facilitators and levels of domain-specific physical activity. Reviews published until September 2020 were retrieved from PubMed, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, Regional Library of Medicine (BIREME), and PsycNET, and from the reference list of selected articles. Each review was screened by two independent reviewers for eligibility. Data extracted from selected papers included methodological aspects (number of primary studies, study designs, and age groups); physical activity domains and barriers and facilitators investigated; and direction of association. For each pair of barrier/facilitator and domain-specific physical activity, we recorded the number of positive, negative, and null associations reported across reviews. Quality assessment of each systematic review was performed using the AMSTAR-2 tool. Results Forty-four systematic reviews were selected. The evidence base was largest for leisure-time followed by travel-related physical activity. A very small number of reviews included physical activity in work, educational and domestic settings. Across all physical activity domains, factors related to the built environment were more abundant in the reviews than intra and interpersonal factors. Very consistent positive associations were observed between a range of intrapersonal factors and leisure-time physical activity, as well as moderately consistent evidence of positive association for general social support and support from family members. Evidence of moderate consistency was found for the positive association between transport-related physical activity and positive beliefs about consequences, walkability, and existence of facilities that support active travel. Evidence on barriers and facilitators for physical activity at work, educational, and domestic settings was limited in volume and consistency. Conclusions Efforts and resources are required to diversify and strength the evidence base on barriers and facilitators of domain-specific physical activity, as it is still limited and biased towards the leisure domain and built environment factors.}, Type = {Review}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Garcia, L (Corresponding Author), Queens Univ Belfast, Royal Victoria Hosp, Ctr Publ Hlth, Inst Clin Sci, Belfast BT12 6BA, Antrim, North Ireland.

With the perspective of social integration, this study reviews the findings about economic livelihood, social integration and health related to migrant workers since China initiated economic reform. We show that (1) though the economic wellbeing of migrant workers has been improved significantly after they moved to cities, their economic standing is still lower than local residents; (2) though there is progress of social integration between migrant workers and local residents, conflicts and challenges due to the competitions in employment and the sharing of community resource are still commonly found; (3) the disadvantaged status of health is very common among migrant workers and (4) women and the new generation in migration have more disadvantages in the social transition. We suggest that issues of equal rights between migrant workers and local residents should be discussed in the future as more migrant workers intend to stay in cities for long-term. Design/methodology/approach The methodology is literature reviews based on the current studies about migrant, migration and policy. The first category of literature is the research field on China's migration and urbanization to describe the whole context of migrant workers. The second is research field on detailed issues about migrant workers and the last field is policy issues about the welfare and needs among migrant workers. Findings We find that (1) though the economic wellbeing of migrant workers has been improved significantly after they moved to cities, their economic standing is still lower than local residents; (2) though there are progress of social integration between migrant workers and local residents, conflicts and challenges due to the competitions in employment and the sharing of community resource are still commonly found; (3) the disadvantaged status of health is very common among migrant workers and (4) women and the new generation in migration face more disadvantages in the social transition. Research limitations/implications There are some limitations in the current research: (1) the review focuses on the majority of migrant workers to reveal the general picture about the living, developing and rights among migrant workers, but is still lacking in dealing with some special and disadvantaged groups. (2) More international issues related to migrant workers should be discussed in the future considering that China's labor market is becoming more and more global. Social implications First, the conclusion about the economic and social integration among migrant workers indicates that more equal welfare services, including resident services, commence services, medical services etc. should be included in the municipal managements considering that Chinese cities will be the combination of local residents and migrant residents. Second, the conclusion about the women and children indicates that the future public services targeted at the disadvantaged population should focus on migrant members due to the second generation of migrant workers will be one of the mainstream population in future China's cities. Originality/value This study gives general views on migrant workers in current China. The findings in this review conclude the main development and improvements among tens of millions of migrant workers in Chinese cities. Meanwhile, we also conclude that there are still many disadvantaged and marginalized sub-groups in migration who are suffering from less welfares and rights in urban lives. More detailed and equal rights and public services should be considered and implemented in the fast urbanization taking place.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Yang, B (Corresponding Author), Shaanxi Normal Univ, Int Business Sch, Xian, Peoples R China.

However, little is known about barriers to smoking cessation and what interventions work for people living with HIV in this setting. Methods: A randomized trial comparing intensive anti-smoking counseling versus counseling and nicotine replacement therapy was recently concluded in Klerksdorp, South Africa. In a post-trial follow-up, 23 in-depth interviews with patients and one focus group discussion with counselors from the trial were conducted. A codebook was developed and codes were applied to the transcripts, which were analyzed using a thematic analysis. Results: Barriers at the economic, social/interpersonal, and individual levels induced stress, which hindered smoking cessation. Economic stressors included unemployment and poverty. Social or interpersonal stressors were lack of social support for quitting smoking and lack of social support due to having HIV. Individual stressors were traumatic life events. Alcohol was used to cope with stress and frequently co-occurred with smoking. Managing cravings was a barrier unrelated to stress. Participants proposed income and employment opportunities, group counseling, and more frequent counseling as solutions to address stressors at different levels. Nicotine replacement therapy was helpful to mitigate cravings. Conclusions: Future smoking cessation interventions need to target barriers at multiple levels. Increasing the supply and duration of nicotine replacement therapy may increase its effectiveness. Other behavioral approaches such as group counseling or peer counseling could hold promise in this setting but need to be tested for efficacy through randomized controlled trials. Implications: To our knowledge, this is the first qualitative study examining barriers to smoking cessation for people living with HIV in South Africa. Smoking is highly prevalent among people with HIV in South Africa and cessation interventions are urgently needed. A better understanding of barriers to smoking cessation that people with HIV face will lead to the development of contextually appropriate interventions. This study also provides feedback on interventions from a recently concluded smoking cessation randomized trial and will help guide the design of future smoking cessation trials.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Krishnan, N (Corresponding Author), Johns Hopkins Bloomberg Sch Publ Hlth, 615 N Wolfe St, Baltimore, MD 21205 USA.

MethodsInformation on presenting clinical manifestations, diagnostic tests, hospitalisations, surgical procedures and other treatments received by NCC outpatients was collected from medical charts, and supplemented by an individual questionnaire regarding productivity losses and out-of-pocket expenses related to NCC. ResultsThe annual average per-patient direct costs were US\$ 503 (95\% CI: 414-592) and US\$ 438 (95\% CI: 322-571) for patients without a history of hospitalisation and/or surgery seen at the INNN and the HE-IMSS, respectively. These costs increased to US\$ 2506 (95\% CI: 1797-3215) and US\$ 2170 (95\% CI: 1303-3037), respectively, for patients with a history of hospitalisation and/or surgery.

Virtual communities, or groups of people informally bound together by shared expertise, synthesise this Internet evolution and the Web 2.0 technology. Users increasingly want to engage online with one another and with organisations of all kinds. These novel Internet-based technologies dominate the new business models of the digital economy giving companies radical new ways to harvest the talents of innovators working outside corporate boundaries. One of the most illustrative examples of this new trend is the Open Source Software (OSS) projects development. This paper aims to analyse the structure and topology of the virtual community supporting one of the most successfully OSS projects, Linux. The objective is to provide conclusions for being successful in the development of future virtual communities. As companies learn to manage these virtual communities, they will develop smarter and faster ways to create value through them. Design/methodology/approach - The interactions of the virtual community members of an ARM-embedded Linux project website is analysed through social network analysis techniques. The participants' activity is studied and some conclusions about the participation features are obtained using the Gini coefficient. In particular, a participation inequality behaviour or a concentration on a small number of developers is clearly observed. Findings - The paper deals with the guidelines that virtual communities should follow to be successful. Results about the structure of a successful virtual community and its time evolution are provided to determine the mentioned guidelines. Research limitations/implications - The research is limited to a particular virtual community engaged with the development of the ARM-embedded Linux OSS. Other successful virtual communities can be analysed, and the conclusions could be compared. Anyway, the proposed analysis methodology can be extended to other virtual communities. Originality/value - The paper fulfils the development and features of Internet virtual communities to be successful. Results have important implications over the development of new software business models based on virtual communities and open source software.

Despite the significant role they play in healthcare, nurses exhibit poor dietary habits and have high rates of chronic diseases. Understanding the factors underlying healthy eating for nurses in the workplace is important to implement effective interventions. Objective: To identify enablers and barriers related to healthy eating among nurses employed in a hospital setting.Design: A systematic literature review of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research (PROSPERO ID: CRD42021290913).Data sources: A comprehensive systematic search was conducted across PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Web of Sci-ence and ProQuest databases for papers published after January 2015.Methods: Two authors independently screened titles and abstracts of 4139 deduplicated studies, performed crit-ical appraisals on eligible studies using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool and extracted data relevant to the re-search question. This review includes papers that examined nurses' eating behaviours specifically, were conducted in a hospital setting and distinguished healthy eating from other behaviours. Data synthesis was con-ducted through descriptive summarisation of studies and enablers and barriers were classified according to the socio-ecological model.Results: A total of 29 studies were identified with 8024 participants. 8 studies were qualitative, 18 quantitative, and 3 were mixed method design. At an environmental level, barriers were high accessibility and availability of unhealthy foods, high cost and low availability of healthy foods and lack of storage and preparation facilities, while an enabler was close proximity to healthy options. Novel organisational enablers were considered roster planning which allowed for established routines around meals, and structured workplace programs that encour-aged improvement in health behaviours, while barriers were shift work, inconsistent rosters and high work de-mands. An interpersonal enabler was supportive networks while barriers were work culture, social norms of celebrations and gifts of food from patients. Finally, intrapersonal barriers were stress and fatigue, personal values, beliefs, attitudes, and individual characteristics, with the latter two also acting as enablers. Conclusions: This review identifies the complexity and interconnectedness of enablers and barriers to healthy eating across four domains of the socio-ecological model. Multi-faceted strategies which address factors across several domains are recommended for healthcare organisations to facilitate healthy eating among nurses. Further research is needed to assess these strategies and understand the extent to which eating behaviours can be improved.(c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd.

The results show how the expectations of women crossing the Mediterranean to reach Spain are built and blurred, demonstrating a lack of respect for human rights. 1. Methodology In this work, we have not intended to measure the migratory phenomenon but to describe its determinants and through the discourses, try to identify the deep nature of this social reality, its relationship system and its dynamic structure. Neither, we have not started with a consolidated explanatory theory in scientific knowledge to, through the deductive method, verify or refute the behavior of certain paradigms in social reality. This has already been done successfully on occasions as we quoted below but, based on these and starting from the reality a migratory movement carried out by women, the present work has obtained the necessary information for its development from the qualitative methodology. The strategy that we carry out is oriented to discover and understand a concrete phenomenon and this methodology is what gives meaning to our research work. In this sense, we have carefully selected the key informants with the intention of collecting their speech and obtaining a broad vision of the experiences that come with the migratory processes of Morocco women in their process of social integration in the Autonomous Community of Andalusia. On the other hand, understanding that the phenomenon can not be analyzed only from the discourse of the social actors, we carry out an ethnographic method through participant observation, culminated through registration and observation of the social context, the way in which the social actors in their context, the attitude of the professionals, the public policies and norms of the context and the behaviors and attitudes of the actors who do not intervene in the first person of the migratory phenomenon. Therefore, in addition to the ethnographic method, the methodology that we have used has been qualitative, through the technique of semi-structured interview with a sample size defined by saturation, which reached 18 cases selected through a Sampling, given the nature of the population under study. (Ruiz Olabuenaga, 1996). The in-depth interviews were carried out in the city of Tangier and in the Autonomous Community of Andalusia. The application of the in-depth interviews to our key informants was not intended, in any case, the statistical representation, but the socio-structural representation in relation to the objectives of this research work. In the same way we use two fundamental criteria when deciding who and how many women to interview: the sampling criteria of a practical nature and the sampling outside the control of the design. (I). Sample criteria of a practical nature have to do with the classification of two general types of interviewees: key and representative. The four questions or basic criteria that we considered in the selection of interviewees were: (i) who has the relevant information?; (ii) who are the most accessible women ?; (lii) who are more willing to report? And, (iv) who are better able to communicate information more accurately? Other requirements were also: (i) to be knowledgeable about the object to be investigated; (ii) that they were willing to speak, and (iii) that they represented different points of view when different perspectives existed on what was being studied. (II). Sampling out of control of the design synthesized several ideas and also had to do with the snowball procedure. Another issue to consider is the duration and repetition of the interviews that were part of the design tasks, some sample decisions were reviewed during the field work. The length of each interview session ranged from about forty-five minutes to some interviews over an hour long. It is important to emphasize that not only is it enough to ask who and how many women to interview, it must be considered that sufficient interviews must be conducted so that the interviewer feels that he has leamed everything that has to be learned and has verified these understandings through the most knowledgeable informants and that They deserve more confidence, from there came the principle of saturation. We also address two important aspects in the preparation of in-depth interviews. On the one hand, the selection of the most suitable interviewees. And on the other hand, the decisions on the most suitable conditions of date, place and record of the interviews. (I). About the researcher; It is interesting to ask how they can affect a research-interviewed interaction, since it is interviewed for research and knowledge purposes. Some interviews specified the training and special knowledge to make pertinent interventions in a conversational situation not always is easy. Decisions in this regard depended on the purposes of the study and other research contingencies. (II). About the date, place and registration; It became necessary to condition it to the interests of the study, combining a series of elements, without forcing, because to that extent the success of the interviews was largely dependent. Regarding the evaluative criteria of the quality of the interviews, we distinguished different groups of quality criteria applied. These include: (i) reliability criteria; (ii) credibility criteria; (iii) transferability; (iv) dependability; (v) authenticity and, (vi) ethical criteria. Likewise, a moderately alternative redefinition of the internal, external validity and reliability standards was applied. In our opinion we judge the credibility of the work applied for its transparency and coherence, since the quality of the information depended to a great extent on the collaboration of the interviewees, which entails serious ethical obligations towards them. In sum, the quality of the interviews applied is intrinsically related to the characteristics of the interviewed women and the ethical guidelines of the research. Jointly, informed consent and confidentiality play a key role. All these are criteria that we have taken into account in the evaluation of the quality of the interviews applied. Women were selected who: 1. They intended to emigrate. 2. In full transit. 3. They would have completed the migration process for two years or less. The categories previously selected for the analysis have been defined through the following topics: 1. The system of attributions of the beginning of the migratory process. 2. The reception process and the contextual conditions of the receiving society. 3. Comparative patterns of well-being in Morocco and Andalusia. 4. Expectations, desires and feelings. 5. Familiar social networks around the beginning of the migration project. 6. Difficulties during transit. 7. Perception of the migration project itself. 8. Interference of the economic crisis in speeches. 9. Perceptions about returning to their home society. 2. The description of the methodological approach, a special condition. Work plan and description of the phases. The work plan developed in the different phases carried out consisted of the following actions: Phase I. Initial Conceptual Model. In the first phase called the initial conceptual model, we proceeded to review and analyze the literature related to our object of study. This phase corresponds to the exploration and analysis of the scientific production in the issue that concerns us and that directly links gender and migration. Together, we follow exhaustively the design of the model according to Miles and Huberman, (1984) who; ``Establishes that from the categories emerged in the bibliographic review, conclusions must be drawn up graphically so that the relationships between the named categories are described in detail.{''} In this context, we note that the field work was carried out in the city of Tangier (Morocco) and the Autonomous Community of Andalusia in the framework of various projects for Development Cooperation of the University of Jaen and the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation Development (AECID)'. We resorted to using the intentional sampling procedure that allowed us to select the subjects in the sample. The sample was generated progressively where each subject proposed to other people they knew. At the same time we made use of participant observation or ethnographic observation. Three elements of this technique were taken into account at the time of its use; (I) social interaction, (ii) data collection protocol, and (ii) control of information. Phase II. Intermediate Model of Interviewees. In this second phase of the research, we proceeded to design the intermediate model, which starts from an empirical data, that is, from the experience on the subject to be studied. For this phase the interviews were structured in depth, whose questions were revealed by key informants and interviewed women, both of whom were intentionally selected. In order to do so, the criteria they used to contribute relevant information to our research were taken as criteria. In this sense, we use the snowball procedure. In this respect, the sample frame is the meanings. That is, those of the experience emerge. The snowball procedure allowed us to select the subjects of the sample arbitrarily, that is, allowed us to choose Moroccan women and key informants who presented very special characteristics. Once identified and with the available information they were asked to locate other members of the same study population, either by familiarity, knowledge or ease of access. The sample was generated progressively where each subject proposed to other people they knew. The analysis of the interviews was performed after the transcript. The transcripts were then sorted according to the application sequence where the statements of the informants were taken into account. Subsequently, a first sweep of data was made that allowed to be debugged the information that was repeated. In this sense, the theoretical basis of the research, the direct experience of the researchers, the different contributions of key professionals in this issue in Tangier and Andalusia, together with the application of the in-depth interviews, are guarantees that allowed to develop an exhaustive analysis Which is reflected with the development of the present investigation. Phase III. Final Conceptual Model. In the final conceptual model the observations and the discussion were elaborated according to the theoretical positions described in the theoretical review and with the answers of the people interviewed. The contrast of these two phases made it possible to formulate theorizing. Theorizing, according to Martinez, (1999): ``Is a way to look at the facts, to organize them and to represent them conceptually, through a new network of relations between the constituent parts.{''} From this point of view, the theory turns out to be the production of human intelligence, since imagination and experience have been part of the construction of knowledge. We consider that the content analysis as a way to approach an investigation, is a methodological complement that allows to obtain knowledge of precise and effective way. The systematization of information leads to the construction of a theorization, which is reached, to the extent that we appropriate the acquired knowledge. In sum, the design of the final conceptual model originated from the interaction and contrast of the matching elements of the categories and subcategories extracted from both the initial model and the intermediate model. Research objectives: 1. Observe the legislative framework and immigration policies and integration models in the context of Andalusia and Tangier. 2. Analyze the conditions and discourses that are generated in this migration process both in the context of departure, in transit and in the receiving society. 3. Analyze the migration process of Moroccan women to Andalusia, based on their expectations, experiences and personal assessments. 4. Identify the discourses around the exclusion processes that affect the Moroccan woman in the host society 5. Design proposals for improvement, achieving the overcoming of the more generalist positions insofar as they identify the migratory phenomenon as unique. Results in relation to objectives. 1. The exclusionary factors of this particular phenomenon are identified in such a way that proposes the adaptation of public policies and measures in which integration and socio-labor participation is the key axis of action and women are recognized in all areas of performance. However, it is recognized that certain changes in their societies of origin are also necessary. 2. The speeches that are generated in the migratory process are analyzed. These discourses related to the intention to emigrate that is generated in the society of origin, in the transit and in the process of consolidation that takes place in the receiving society. It is highlighted that migratory flows bring into contact the systems of gender and social class inequality of two different societies: the society of origin and the host society. Therefore, the importance of analyzing these issues is recognized. This is why we have analyzed this migratory phenomenon in three key moments. {[}GRAPHICS] . The migratory process of Moroccan women, in their economic character, has a specific reception in a segmented labor market, with tasks of family and domestic care, surrounded by a great vulnerability, but which satisfies to some extent their migratory expectations. 3. The current economic crisis suffered by Andalusia, for almost a decade, provokes that, although this is identified by the protagonists in forms that are ignored in their speeches, I acted as a mechanism to curb and expel female migration, or Precarization of underemployment to which they access. 4. Different situations related to different moments of the migration are exposed within a frame of fatigue and wear. Subsequently, some perceptions of well-being are shown, in cases where women understand that their expectations have been met. 5. We believe it is necessary, despite not being evident, an improvement in Spanish policies to improve the quality of life of women, to make proposals generated by the results of the analysis in the sense of improving the integration and social participation of Moroccan women who should have institutional resources in different areas, highlighting improvements in the current Aliens Act, access to the education system, labor insertion, language learning, accreditation of studies, gender violence, impartial media and poor housing. In our opinion, it is important to develop many positive actions and political will to achieve an optimal process of integration and social participation of women from Morocco in Andalusia.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Spanish}, Affiliation = {Martínez, JMM (Corresponding Author), Univ Jaen, Jaen, Spain.

Identifying communityspecific barriers faced by caregivers in accessing MCV2 services for their children and by health workers in delivering MCV2 is key to informing strategies to improve vaccination coverage. Methods: We used Photovoice, a participatory method using photographs and narratives to understand community barriers to MCV2 uptake from March- September 2020. Six female and five male caregivers of MCV2eligible children (15-24 months of age), and six health care workers (HCWs) in Freetown, Sierra Leone participated. After having an orientation to photovoice, they photographed barriers related to general immunization and MCV2 uptake in their community. This was followed by facilitated discussions where participants elaborated on the barriers captured in the photos. Transcripts from the six immunization-related discussions were analyzed to deduce themes through open-ended coding. A photo exhibition was held for participants to discuss the barriers and suggested solutions with decision-makers, such as the ministry of health. Results: We identified and categorized nine themes into three groups: 1) individual or caregiver level barriers (e. g., caregivers' lack of knowledge on MCV2, concerns about vaccine side effects, and gender-related barriers); 2) health system barriers, such as HCWs' focus on children below one year and usage of old child health cards; and 3) contextual barriers, such as poverty, poor infrastructure, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants suggested the decision-makers to enhance community engagement with caregivers and HCW capacity including, increasing accountability of their work using performance-based approaches, among different strategies to improve MCV2 uptake. Conclusion: Photovoice can provide nuanced understanding of community issues affecting MCV2. As a methodology, it should be integrated in broader intervention planning activities to facilitate the translation of community-suggested strategies into action.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Kulkarni, S (Corresponding Author), US Ctr Dis Control \& Prevent, 1600 Clifton Rd,Mailstop H21-6, Atlanta, GA 30329 USA.

However, to date, the clean cooking literature has found low rates of efficient stove adoption and continued use. This paper presents the application of a public health community engagement model to the use of clean cooking fuels. We implemented a pilot study with Community Technology Workers (CTWs) as a means to overcome maintenance, education, and behavioral barriers to clean fuel use in rural Tanzania. Methods: The intervention was a free 6 kg Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinder and stove coupled with education from a local technically trained CTW on LPG use. We evaluated the training, work, and impact of a CTW on LPG use on 30 randomly selected households from two villages in a rural district of Tanzania over a 1-year period. After an initial baseline survey, technically trained local CTWs educated the households on safe LPG use and conducted 34 follow up surveys over the next year on their cooking fuel use. Additionally, we conducted qualitative interviews with all households and a focus group with six of the households. Results: The results from the mixed methods approach show that 80\% of families (n = 24) consistently refilled their LPG cylinders and similar to 40\% of households exclusively used LPG. Households reported appreciating the CTWs' visits for providing education and maintenance support, giving them confidence to use LPG safely, reminding them to save for their cylinder, and providing a community driven effort to use clean fuel. Conclusions: The findings demonstrate the feasibility of this type of community infrastructure model to promote and facilitate consistent LPG use, but suggest the need to couple this local support with financial mechanisms (e.g., a microsavings program). This model could be a mechanism to increase LPG use, particularly in rural, low-income areas.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Gill-Wiehl, A (Corresponding Author), Univ Calif Berkeley, Energy \& Resources Grp, 345 Giannini Hall, Berkeley, CA 94720 USA.

This study aims to provide an overview of their current research studies and attempts in constructing makerspaces. Design/methodology/approach The authors aggregated research materials on library makerspaces in China from two sources: journal articles from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database and online news reports from the search engine Baidu.com. Content analysis was used to extract information regarding visions and perceived values, service models and technology adoption. Findings While a growing number of Chinese academic publications are concerned with library makerspaces, the existing research focuses on foreign cases and offers few empirical studies on domestic application scenarios. Libraries and researchers in China hold a positive and supportive attitude toward makerspaces. 3D printing is the most frequently mentioned technology, and free-to-use, promoting communication and realization of ideas and dreams are the most emphasized values. Libraries should highlight their own unique advantages and tap into their resources and services in mutually beneficial collaborations with other types of makerspaces. Research limitations/implications First, the results of this study cannot fully summarize the development status of makerspaces in Chinese libraries. Second, the research materials used in this study may be biased, especially the news reports. Practical implications This paper presents a semantic, visualized analysis of aggregated online news articles and journal articles on library makerspaces in China in an attempt to summarize their characteristics and guiding values, validate the advantages of library makerspaces and give suggestions on improving their service models. Social implications This paper introduces the development trend of makerspace in Chinese libraries, so that researchers at home and abroad can learn more about the development of Chinese library.

Methods: A community-based, cross-sectional study was conducted in China from September to December 2011. In the study, 190 CHS centers were selected from 10 provinces of China via stratified multistage cluster sampling. Human resources profiles and basic characteristics of each CHS centers were collected. Lorenz curves and Gini Coefficient were used to measure the inequality in the distribution of health workforce in community health service centers by population size and geographical area. Wilcoxon rank test for paired samples was used to analyze the differences in equity between different health indicators. Results: On average, there were 7.37 health workers, including 3.25 doctors and 2.32 nurses per 10,000 population ratio. Significant differences were found in all indicators across the samples, while Beijing, Shandong and Zhejiang ranked the highest among these provinces. The Gini coefficients for health workers, doctors and nurses per 10,000 population ratio were 0.39, 0.44, and 0.48, respectively. The equity of doctors per 10,000 population ratio (G=0.39) was better than that of doctors per square kilometer (G=0.44) (P=0.005). Among the total 6,573 health workers, 1,755(26.7\%) had undergraduate degree or above, 2,722(41.4\%) had junior college degree and 215(3.3\%) had high school education. Significant inequity was found in the distribution of workers with undergraduate degree or above (G=0.52), which was worse than that of health works per 10000 population (P<0.001). Conclusions: Health workforce inequity was found in this study, especially in quality and geographic distribution.

Historically, the disparity in cervical cancer risk for women in LMICs has been due to the lack of organized screening and prevention programmes. In recent years, this risk has been augmented by the severity of the HIV epidemic in LMICs. HIV-positive women are at increased risk for developing cervical precancer and cancer, and while the introduction of antiretroviral therapy has dramatically improved life expectancies among HIV-positive women it has not been shown to improve cancer-related outcomes. Therefore, an increasing number of HIV-positive women are living in LMICs with limited or no access to cervical cancer screening programmes. In this commentary, we describe the gaps in cervical cancer prevention, the state of evidence for integrating cervical cancer prevention into HIV programmes and future directions for programme implementation and research. Discussion: Despite the biologic, behavioural and demographic overlap between HIV and cervical cancer, cervical cancer prevention has for the most part been left out of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services for HIV-positive women. Lower cost primary and secondary prevention strategies for cervical cancer are becoming more widely available in LMICs, with increasing evidence for their efficacy and cost-effectiveness. Going forward, cervical cancer prevention must be considered a part of the essential package of SRH services for HIV-positive women. Effective cervical cancer prevention programmes will require a coordinated response from international policymakers and funders, national governments and community leaders. Leveraging the improvements in healthcare infrastructure created by the response to the global HIV epidemic through integration of services may be an effective way to make an impact to prevent cervical cancer among HIV-positive women, but more work remains to determine optimal approaches. Conclusions: Cervical cancer prevention is an essential part of comprehensive HIV care. In order to ensure maximal impact and cost-effectiveness, implementation strategies for screening programmes must be adapted and rigorously evaluated through a framework that includes equal participation with policymakers, programme planners and key stakeholders in the target communities.}, Type = {Editorial Material}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Huchko, MJ (Corresponding Author), Mission Hall,550 16th St,Box 1224, San Francisco, CA 94158 USA.

These volunteers (also termed `citizen scientists') may have experience in the research in which they are participating, but they have no formal degree in marine science or related topics. The participation of large numbers of volunteers with variable educational or professional backgrounds poses particular challenges for the professional scientists coordinating such research. Knowledge about the structure of these projects, the research activities conducted by citizen scientists, and quality control of data collected by volunteers is essential to identify their contribution to marine science. We examined 227 published studies in which professional scientists collaborated with volunteers in a wide range of marine investigations. Most studies focused on a diverse assemblage of animals, followed by flora and other topics (e.g., contamination or beach dynamics). Seabirds, marine mammals, turtles, and fishes were the most commonly studied animals, but several studies also dealt with marine invertebrates. Many of the studied taxa were commercially important, emblematic, or endangered species. Surveys of invasive species took advantage of the extensive spatial scale that can be covered by large numbers of volunteers. As would be expected, the research activities of citizen scientists were concentrated in easily accessible coastal habitats, including sandy beaches, estuaries, coral reefs, and seagrass beds. Hot spots of marine citizen science projects (CSPs) were found not only in North America and Europe, but also in the Indo-West Pacific region. Contributions made by citizen scientists were equally based on incidental observations as on standardized surveys. Some of the research projects had been active for more than a decade, but most were midterm programmes, lasting a few years or less. Volunteer participants came from a wide range of demographic backgrounds. Usually, the participants were adults of both sexes, but a few studies considered either only men or only women (mainly in small fishing communities). Whereas several studies were based on schoolchildren as volunteers, no study worked specifically with senior citizens. The educational level of participants, often not explicitly mentioned in the publications, was also diverse. Some projects selected participants based on their experiences, skills, or profession, but in the majority of the studies, there was either no selection or no information was provided, suggesting that any interested citizen could participate. The preparation of participants ranged from brief written or oral instructions to extensive (weeks) training sessions with professional experts. In general, training effort increased with the complexity of the tasks conducted by volunteers, a crucial element being the adjustment of simple methodologies to the capabilities of participants. Studies for which volunteers needed to identify many different species and estimate their abundances were considered the most complex tasks, and subsequent analysis of such studies by professional scientists must consider inherent bias or shortcomings. About half of the examined studies included some type of quality control to ensure that the data collected by citizen scientists met the standards of rigorous scientific studies. Several authors emphasized that data quality increased with the duration of project participation. Efforts therefore should be made to retain experienced volunteers over time, which is facilitated when volunteers perceive that their efforts lead to something of practical use, such as publications, conservation initiatives, management decisions, or policy actions. Participants seemed to value personal satisfaction and public recognition, but learning about the ocean was also important. The coordinators of marine CSPs often collaborated with organizations such as conservation groups, birdwatchers, dive associations, or fishermen's cooperatives to recruit volunteers, but media campaigns, personal communication, social media, and functional websites were also important. Some studies were based on small numbers of participants (e.g., artisanal fishermen); others involved thousands of volunteers (e.g., coral or litter surveys). Volunteer-generated data contributed information about population dynamics, health, or distribution of marine organisms and supported long-term monitoring programmes of marine protected areas, harmful algal blooms, or marine litter, among others. In general, the contribution of citizen scientists greatly enhances research capacity, providing an increased workforce over extensive spatial and intensive temporal scales at comparatively moderate costs. Citizen science is able to make significant contributions to marine science, where professional scientific activities are limited by the available human resources. Considering the vastness of the oceans and the diversity of habitats, communities, and species, proper understanding of this realm requires intensive research activities over time and space. This recognition should lead to increased consideration of citizen science as a powerful tool for the generation and spread of scientific knowledge. Furthermore, sharing knowledge between volunteer participants and professional scientists improves communication, trust, and capacity building, facilitating efficient collaboration in much-needed conservation initiatives.}, Type = {Article; Book Chapter}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Thiel, M (Corresponding Author), Univ Catolica Norte, Fac Ciencias Mar, Larrondo 1281, Coquimbo, Chile.

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has recently been applied into education system, but a range of supporters is rapidly increasing, covering diverse countries. The CLIL approaches simultaneously use a foreign language as an object to studying and as an instrument to learning other subjects. The emergence of CLIL was related to a wide distribution of bilingualism in society and the need to cope with the problems related to this process, including the elimination of international conflicts, the consolidation of society as the factor of a social well-being, the support of a competitive labour market, etc. Despite growing popularity of CLIL across the world and recognised status by the European Union as one of the leading effective means to implementing international language policy of multilingualism, the academic teaching staff of Russian higher school does not still fully understand the organisational mechanisms and forms of a similar learning process, largely as a result of national characteristics and traditions. In a globalising world, CLIL didactics is currently becoming a perspective direction of higher education and an effective way both of acquiring and improving language and communicative competencies to provide further successful professionalising of students and to facilitate their career promotion in the chosen field of activity. The aim of this paper was to sum up and discuss the experience of Tomsk Polytechnic University in conducting CLIL-based courses. Methodology and research methods. The concept of practice-oriented vocational education was used as the methodological base of the experimental work in order to search optimal variants when developing foreign language knowledge in the students of engineering specialties. In the course of the research, the approaches of comparative analysis, synthesis, generalisation, forecasting, design, modelling, prolonged monitoring of learning outcomes, observation and questionnaire survey were applied. Results and scientific novelty. The actualising reasons for CLIL approach in the Russian high school education were formulated and proved. The brief historical overview of didactic concepts was presented. The authors analysed temporary challenges which preceded the implementation of CLIL methodologies in the learning process of Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) and the introduction of programme ``Vocational Training and Education in a Foreign Language{''} (3rd\_ 4th years of education). The stages of teaching foreign language evolution at the university were distinguished: the anglification of engineering education transformed into multidisciplinary model of English for Specific Purpose (ESP); the creation of ``pe-dagogical tandems{''} - the organization of courses with ``double agents{''}; and, finally, CLIL training in which a cognitive component can be seen as the key characteristic and the main advantage. Success and failure in the field of CLIL practices available today at TPU were revised. The examples of private implementable practices were described and analysed. The research findings revealed the rationality when using various applied variations of CLIL methodology. Practical significance. The research outcomes allowed the authors to adjust not only the main educational programmes of higher education institution, but also internal programmes of professional development of teachers. Although the long-term experiment summarised in the publication in a single higher education institution does not apply for universality and mass circulation, the authors believe that experimentative materials will contribute to consistent embedding of CLIL courses into a complete system of vocational training.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Russian}, Affiliation = {Sidorenko, TV (Corresponding Author), Natl Res Tomsk Polytech Univ, Foreign Language Dept, Tomsk, Russia.

In the framework of this policy, measures are most often developed and implemented in the fields of education, employment, and material support. The purpose of this policy is to strive to equalize the rights and opportunities of the previously discriminated group of people with disabilities. Despite the active implementation of ``affirmative action{''}, problems arise that are connected not only with the dissatisfaction of the target group, but also with the manifestation of discontent among people without disabilities. The author of the article aims to identify the reasons for the insolvency of the policy of positive discrimination for persons with disabilities. She assumes that the reason is the fact that interpretations of positive discrimination, despite their outwardly positive connotation, retain a discriminatory nature and rely on the same socio-philosophical foundations as in negative discrimination. Discrimination of people with disabilities is denoted by the terms ``ableism{''} and ``disablism{''}; the difference between them is the focus of attention. It is assumed that the prevailing theories of discrimination are based on the following theories: the concept of ``Self-Other{''} in the understanding of ``Other than the Self{''}, justified by G. Hegel, J.-P. Sartre, J. Ortega y Gasset and criticized by M. Foucault, J. Butler; the norm theory developed by C. Durheim, R. Metron and investigated by T. Parsons, M. Foucault; the theory of stigma introduced by E. Goffman; as well as the theory of minorities, which causes numerous disputes in the academic community and is reflected in the works of M. Oliver, S. Burns, T. Shakespeare, E. Bernes on the topic of a discriminated minority. These concepts also maintain their fundamental position in interpreting policies of positive discrimination. Thus, the policy of positive discrimination, like negative discrimination, focuses on the binary opposition ``Self-Other than the Self{''}, although it acquires an outwardly positive character, and on the aspiration to help and adapt to the needs of a person with a disability. The policy of positive discrimination, partly because it is imposed from outside, does not solve the problem of stigmatization. Studies prove the prevalence of negative attitudes in the form of implicit ones. There is a change in the status of a minority from the discriminated to the dominant, and a transition from positive to reverse discrimination. The author comes to the conclusion that the inefficiency of the measures is determined by the methodology which is based, in fact, on the simple reversal of the opposition. In this regard, it can be concluded that, in order to change the current situation and include people with disabilities in society, it is necessary not only to develop various technologies and methods, but also to change the sociophilosophical foundations.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Russian}, Affiliation = {Goldovskaya, AV (Corresponding Author), Tomsk State Univ, Tomsk, Russia.

Background: Professional sexual misconduct (PSM) encompasses all kinds of sexual assault or acts stemming from professional dependency relationships. Because of the power gap in the relationship between healthcare professionals and patients, PSM is of particular relevance in health care facilities. Data are accumulating and point toward a high prevalence of PSM in health care and sexual violence against minors. Recently, several suspected cases of PSM led to consultations at the national Medical Child Protection Hotline for medical professionals. Particularly health care professionals who had evidence of sexual abuse of children/adolescents by peers and did not know how to proceed contacted the hotline. Objective: This article compiles the current data on PSM and sexual violence against minors in health care in Germany as well as possible prevention and intervention strategies. Methods: Based on a selective literature search, we point out details concerning the definition, epidemiology, and legal framework of PSM as well as giving possible hints on PSM by colleagues. The analysis is supplemented by a case report on specific consultation requests made to the Medical Child Protection Hotline. We also present possible prevention strategies of PSM, as potential options for action if PSM is suspected. Results: While data on epidemiology are scarce, suspected PSM by healthcare professionals in Germany is a relevant problem. Persons with pedophilic tendencies often specifically seek out fields of work that provide close contact with children. By law, any sexually motivated contact with persons under the age of 14, any sexual act perpetrated on a person under the age of 18 by taking advantage of a coercive situation, and any sexual contact between health care professionals and patients of any age during treatment is prohibited. The protection of children in institutions is a necessary and legal obligation. In cases of suspected PSM, colleagues should not be confronted with the suspicion, but the executive level should be informed. Seeking out information from psychotherapists' organizations/medical associations can be helpful. Whether to involve law enforcement authorities should be considered carefully. In all these steps, close cooperation and respect for the needs and will of the affected patients are paramount. Discussion and Conclusion: PSM in medicine is presently a complex and understudied theme. To ensure effective prevention, it is first of all necessary for all areas to adopt an attitude toward patients that is appreciative and respects boundaries. It is important that independent patient advocates and complaints offices be open to feedback, including that from young children, and take it seriously. Because of the lack of clear action plans and often personal involvement with suspected colleagues, uncertainty among the professionals involved is understandable. Nevertheless, whenever PSM is suspected, any health care professional is obliged to take considerate action to protect the patients and other potential victims from further harm.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {German}, Affiliation = {Clemens, V (Corresponding Author), Univ Klinikum Ulm, Klin Kinder \& Jugendpsychiat Psychotherapie, Steinhovelstr 5, D-89073 Ulm, Germany.

This also meant the reassessment of nationalist ideas and of their importance. Estonian independent statehood was seen as the guarantor of the survival of Estonian culture and the Estonian people. Attempts were made to find means for how to better assure the development of Estonian culture. Like elsewhere in Europe of that time, nationalism and its promotion formed one important aspect of building up and developing the educational system of independent Estonia. Two congresses for the comprehensive discussion of various themes regarding nationalist education were organised in Estonia in the period between the two world wars. The first was held in Tartu on 2-3 January 1927 and the second was held on 2-3 January 1935 in Tallinn. The organisation of a third congress was also planned for 1940 but it was cancelled due to drastic changes in the prevailing political situation. The aim of this article is to analyse the models for the congresses on nationalist education, their ideas and models from abroad, their reception in society, and their effect on school life. The article examines the organisation of the congresses, and their speakers and participants, focusing on the topics that resounded there, and on changes in the extent and points of emphasis of the congresses. These congresses were connected to one another by the Estonian Eugenics and Genealogy Society as their organiser. Views from the field of eugenics, which were widespread elsewhere in Europe of that time, resounded at the congress of 1927 and dominated in 1935, even though eugenics, which primarily belongs to the field of medical science, had little to do with education and upbringing. A great deal of public interest, a large number of participants that included many interest groups, and the formulation of ideas and ideals regarding nationalist education characterised the congress of 1927. Debate between the larger left- and right-wing political parties accompanied the discussions that took place at the congress and dominated the reports on the congress in the press. The Socialist Party, which had the most seats in the Riigikogu (Estonian Parliament) of that time, reproached the right-wingers for using the label of nationalism and demanded social reforms. The right-wingers, especially the Rahvaerakond (People's Party), protested against left-wing agitation in schools and cast doubt on whether socialists could be nationalistically disposed at all. The congress of 1935 focused primarily on questions related to demography and population policy. Practical means were sought for channelling the development of various fields of activity. Under the conditions of the authoritarian regime that prevailed in Estonia at that time, political debate was missing from congress presentations and press reports on the congress. Additionally, numerous presentations were cancelled in protest against the prevailing domestic political situation. For various reasons, the number of participants and the representation of interest groups was also smaller than at the first congress. Teachers from rural schools, who at that time numbered considerably more than teachers from city schools, were left out of the congress altogether because teaching had already started in the countryside at the time that the congress took place. All this caused dissonance because a great deal was said at the congress about the advantages of rural life in particular. The congress was criticised in the press for the one-sidedness of its themes and their superficial treatment - a great deal was undertaken but the working format of the congress did not provide room for delving deeper into topics. The reputation of the speakers was yet another problem at the 2nd congress in particular. The search for those who were to blame for the declining birth rate and the spread of bad manners, which took place in the course of discussions at the congress, prompted the public to ask whether the verbose accusers had any moral right for making such proclamations. The primary models for the ideas expounded at the congresses were Finland from among Estonia's nearest neighbours and France from among Western European countries for the social-political subsidies and awards that had been put into effect there. Certain aspects of the social policies of fascist Italy and National Socialist Germany were also considered as models at the second congress. Nevertheless, both the childlessness tax and the marriage loan were never applied in practice in Estonia. At the congress of 1927, the family was seen as the primary agent of nationalist upbringing. A series of resolutions was adopted at the congress, from which some ideas made their way into school curricula, yet no important practical measures followed. Regarding the introduction of the teaching of national defence in schools, the congress was above all part of an overall process. The Estonianisation of names was given momentum more broadly in society. By 1935, the understanding of school as an institution of upbringing had expanded and thereby also the understanding of school as one of the most important institutions for carrying out nationalist upbringing. While nationalism was previously related to mostly self-evidently in schools and the influence of leftists on schools was seen as the main political problem, the more vigorous development of nationalism was considered necessary in the 1930s, especially after the coup of 1934. State interests and the raising of `good citizens' became key words in legislation. The 2nd congress aspired to adopt a more concrete and practical orientation. Themes such as social policy were discussed, particularly the promotion of public health. The government thereafter dealt with these themes. The discussion provided the impetus for the formation of a commission of governmental cabinet ministers. A six-year plan for promoting public health was called into being. A great deal of legislation was adopted or amended, such as legislation for protecting mothers and children, welfare legislation, and sterilisation legislation. A child protection foundation was founded. Considering the role and influence of the Estonian Eugenics and Genealogy Society in organising these congresses and in their work, a connection can be seen here between the 2nd nationalist upbringing congress and social-political changes that followed it. Although upbringing was prominent in the name of these congresses, it is characteristic that educational questions remained in the background. The issue of minority peoples was primarily delved into in the context of school at the 2nd congress of nationalist upbringing. The need was seen for changing how cultural self-administrations were organised, equalising the educational level of schools where the language of instruction was Estonian and schools where instruction was given in other languages, and inculcating loyalty in minority peoples through the school system in particular. In practice, educational literature in foreign languages was developed to a small extent while more significant changes were not made in the work of cultural self-administrations.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Estonian}, Affiliation = {Loper, M (Corresponding Author), Tartu Hansa Kool, Tartu, Estonia.

It has been shown that rural and urban residents enrolled in clinical trials have similar outcomes, yet, rural healthcare systems struggle to provide opportunities to rural residents to participate in clinical trials when infrastructure is limited or unsupportive of research programs and/or research staffing levels are insufficient. To fully address the barriers to clinical trial access in rural areas, it is not adequate to simply open more trials. Community receptivity of research as well as organizational and community capacity must be considered. This project was determined by the Oregon Health and Science University's Institutional Review Board to be generalizable research across the chosen counties and was approved to operate under a waiver of written consent. Participants received a cash incentive in appreciation for their time and verbally agreed to participate after reviewing a project information sheet.MethodsThe research team co-created a community-responsive approach to the receipt, review, and acceptance of clinical trials in a rural community setting. An adapted 5 step Implementation Mapping approach was used to develop a systematic strategy intended to increase the success, and therefore, the number of clinical trials offered in a rural community.ResultsThe research team and participating rural community members pilot-tested the implementation of a co-designed research review strategy, inclusive of a Regional Cultural Landscape and three co-created project submission and feasibility review forms, with a cancer early detection clinical trial. The proposed clinical trial required engagement from primary care and oncology. Utilizing the research review strategy demonstrated strong researcher-community stakeholder communication and negotiation, which resulted in early identification and resolution of potential barriers, hiring a local clinical research coordinator, and timely trial opening.ConclusionTo the knowledge of the research team, the work described is the first to use a community-engaged approach for creating a clinical trial implementation strategy directly supportive of rural-sitting community stakeholders in receiving, reviewing, and approving cancer-related clinical trials in their community.

Little is known about the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on sexual and reproductive health (SRH). This study examined perceived effects of COVID-19 on SRH service provision and use in the Asia-Pacific region. We conducted a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with 28 purposively sampled SRH experts in 12 Asia-Pacific countries (e.g. United Nations, international and national non-governmental organisations, ministries of health, academia) between November 2020 and January 2021. We analysed data using the six-stage thematic analysis approach proposed by Braun and Clarke (2019). Interviewees reported that COVID-19 mitigation measures, such as transport restrictions and those that decreased the availability of personal protective equipment (PPE), reduced SRH service provision and use in most countries. SRH needs related to service barriers and gender-based violence increased. Systemic challenges included fragmented COVID-19 response plans and insufficient communication and collaboration, particularly between public and private sectors. SRH service-delivery challenges included COVID-19 response prioritisation, e.g. SRH staff task-shifting to COVID-19 screening and contact tracing, and lack of necessary supplies and equipment. Innovative SRH delivery responses included door-to-door antenatal care and family planning provision in the Philippines, online platforms for SRH education and outreach in Viet Nam, and increasing SRH service engagement through social media in Myanmar and Indonesia. To ensure continuation of SRH services during health emergencies, governments should earmark human and financial resources and prioritise frontline health-worker safety; work with communities and the private sector; and develop effective risk communications. La pandemie de COVID-19 a mis a rude epreuve les systemes de sante dans le monde, les gouvernements imposant des mesures strictes de distanciation et de limitation des deplacements. On sait encore peu de choses sur les consequences de la pandemie de COVID-19 sur la sante sexuelle et reproductive (SSR). Cette etude a examine les effets percus de la COVID-19 sur la prestation et l'utilisation de services de SSR dans la region Asie-Pacifique. Nous avons mene une etude qualitative entre novembre 2020 et janvier 2021 a l'aide d'entretiens semi-structures avec 28 experts en SSR selectionnes par choix raisonne dans 12 pays d'Asie et du Pacifique (par exemple des institutions des Nations Unies, des organisations non gouvernementales nationales et internationales, des ministeres de la sante, des etablissements universitaires). Nous avons analyse les donnees en utilisant l'approche d'analyse thematique en six etapes proposee par Braun and Clarke (2019). Les personnes interrogees ont indique que les mesures d'attenuation de la COVID-19, comme les restrictions de transport et celles qui ont diminue la disponibilite des equipements de protection individuelle (EPI), ont reduit l'offre et l'utilisation de services de SSR dans la plupart des pays. Les besoins de SSR lies aux obstacles aux services et a la violence sexiste ont augmente. Les difficultes systemiques comprenaient des plans de riposte fragmentaire a la COVID-19, de meme qu'une communication et une collaboration insuffisantes, en particulier entre les secteurs public et prive. Les obstacles se rapportant a la prestation des services de SSR incluaient la priorite accordee a la reponse a la COVID-19, par exemple l'affectation du personnel de SSR a des taches de depistage de la COVID-19 et de recherche des contacts, et le manque de fournitures et d'equipements necessaires. Les reponses innovantes en matiere de prestation de SSR comprenaient des services de soins prenatals et de planification familiale a domicile aux Philippines, des plateformes en ligne pour l'education et la sensibilisation a la SSR au Viet Nam, et l'accroissement de la participation des services de SSR par le biais des medias sociaux au Myanmar et en Indonesie. Pour garantir la continuite des services de SSR pendant les urgences sanitaires, les gouvernements devraient reserver des ressources humaines et financieres, et donner la priorite a la securite des agents de sante de premiere ligne; travailler avec les communautes et le secteur prive; et mettre au point une communication efficace des risques encourus. La pandemia de COVID-19 ha causado una sobrecarga de los sistemas de salud del mundo, y los gobiernos han tenido que imponer estrictas restricciones de distanciamiento y movimiento. Aun no se sabe mucho sobre los efectos de la pandemia de COVID-19 en la salud sexual y reproductiva (SSR). Este estudio examino los efectos percibidos de COVID-19 en la prestacion y el uso de servicios de SSR en la region de Asia-Pacifico. Realizamos un estudio cualitativo utilizando entrevistas semiestructuradas con 28 expertos en SSR muestreados intencionalmente, en doce paises de Asia-Pacifico (ej. Naciones Unidas, organizaciones no gubernamentales internacionales y nacionales, ministerios de salud, academicos) entre noviembre de 2020 y febrero de 2021. Analizamos los datos utilizando el enfoque de analisis tematico de seis etapas propuesto por Braun y Clarke (2019). Las personas entrevistadas informaron que las medidas de mitigacion de COVID-19, tales como restricciones al transporte y aquellas que disminuyeron la disponibilidad de equipo de proteccion personal (EPP), disminuyeron la prestacion y el uso de servicios de SSR en la mayoria de los paises. Aumentaron las necesidades de SSR relacionadas con las barreras a los servicios y la violencia de genero. Algunos de los retos sistemicos eran planes fragmentados de respuesta al COVID-19 y comunicacion y colaboracion insuficientes, en particular entre los sectores publico y privado. Ejemplos de retos relacionados con la prestacion de servicios de SSR eran la priorizacion de respuesta a COVID-19, ej. redirigir las tareas del personal de SSR al tamizaje de COVID-19 y al rastreo de contactos, y la falta de insumos y equipos necesarios. Entre las respuestas innovadoras para la entrega de servicios de SSR se encontraban la atencion prenatal y provision de planificacion familiar de puerta en puerta en Filipinas, plataformas en linea para la educacion y actividades de extension comunitaria sobre SSR en Vietnam, y mayor participacion en los servicios de SSR por medio de las redes sociales en Myanmar e Indonesia. Para garantizar la continuacion de los servicios de SSR durante emergencias de salud, los gobiernos deben asignar los recursos humanos y financieros y priorizar la seguridad de los trabajadores de salud de primera linea; trabajar con las comunidades y el sector privado; y formular comunicaciones eficaces de riesgos.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Lam, ST (Corresponding Author), London Sch Hyg \& Trop Med, Dept Global Hlth \& Dev, London, England.

The data sources used for estimating public expenditure on disability are included in two different functional classifications: European System of Integrated Social Protection Statistics (ESSPROS) and Classification of the Functions of Government (COFOG). Relating to the ESSPROS classification it is important to consider the specific expenditure on disability compared to the total expenditure on social protection, both of which referred to all public and private entities as a whole. While from the COFOG classification is concerned our interest will be the spending on social protection with exclusive reference to the public sector. The analyzed period is 2005 - 2013, which allows us to study the evolution from the years before the economic crisis to the latest available data. In the first place, estimates for public expenditure in absolute terms have been worked out for each country. Subsequently, in order to facilitate the comparison between the different countries, two relativizations are proposed. In absolute terms, the countries with highest standards of welfare states stand out as those with the highest expenditure on social protection, mainly the Nordic countries (Sweden, Finland, Holland and Denmark) followed by the United Kingdom and those belonging to the continental model such as France, Germany and Italy, while the lowest expenditure occurs in the countries of Eastern Europe. Regarding the overall expenditure on disability, the countries that make up the continental group (Belgium, Germany, France, Austria) are the ones with the highest values, being at some distance from Italy, Sweden and Spain. At the other extreme, Malta, Cyprus, Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania are the countries with the lowest public expenditure on disability. In order to establish a comparative analysis among the resources allocated by the considered countries for disability care, in addition to estimate absolute values, two relative estimations will be taken: the first referred to the number of disabled persons in each country and the second considering the total amount of public expenditure, in terms of National Accounting ({''}Uses{''} in ESA 2010 terms). The latter of these measures is easily accessible and its determination is out of dispute. However if we expect to use as a reference the number of disabled people in each country we will need to square the figures to a common definition of disability for every country, definition which does not really exist in Europe. The Preamble to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006), ratified by the EU in 2010, acknowledges that disability is ``an evolving concept{''}, but also stresses that ``disability results from the interaction between persons with impairments and attitudinal and environmental barriers that hinder their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others{''}. Defining disability as an interaction means that ``disability{''} is not an attribute of the person. Progress on improving social participation can be made by addressing the barriers which hinder persons with disabilities in their day to day lives. Taking this into account, it has been applied the criteria of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF, World Health Organization, 2001), according to which, persons with disabilities are those who face barriers to participation associated mainly with a health problem or basic activity limitation of activity proposing three levels of basic limitation of disability, each determined by adding up life areas where a person face barriers. (Life domain 1, 2 and 4) Individually approached, the highest ratio values are found in Luxembourg, Sweden, Finland, Austria, Denmark, Italy and France, countries with a high developed model of welfare state. The smallest figures belong to Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary, countries which are redesigning their social policies. In the case of Luxembourg, the high value is mainly due to the low number of registered disabled people rather than a real high expenditure. Conversely, the case of the United Kingdom is significant for the low value of the ratio due to the high number of disabled people recorded. As a second option for the relativization of public expenditure on disability, our proposal consists in calculating for each country the amount of expenditure on disability with regard to total public expenditure. This new ratio will allow us to determine the relative importance that each country ascribes to disability in budgetary terms, with the pertinent implications about the social policy of the country considered. In 2012 and 2013, for all EU countries, public expenditure on disability accounted for 2.83\% and 2.87\%, respectively, of total public expenditure spent by public administrations. The countries with the highest percentage during these two years are Sweden, Denmark, Luxembourg, Finland and Croatia. In general, the countries that make the greatest budgetary effort in spending on disability are those with a higher expenditure per person, although there are some specific deviations, such as Austria, France and Italy, which, unlike UK, disclose a very small number of people with disabilities. Those countries with the lowest proportions regarding disability spending on total public expenditure are Cyprus, Greece, Malta and Ireland, all of which have budgetary and financial problems. In Spain public spending on disability accounted for 2.53\% of total expenditure in 2012 and 2.74\% in 2013, standing at the average rate. To sum up, the following conclusions can be drawn in regard of (regarding to) the relative figures in public expenditure on disability: The countries with the highest values in both ratios are Luxembourg, Sweden, Finland and Denmark The countries with the lowest values in the both analysis are Cyprus, Latvia and Slovakia. Spain presents intermediate values on public expenditure per person with disability so as in percentage for the total public expenditure. Overall, the countries that make a greater budgetary effort in spending for disability, are those that present a higher expenditure per person and have the most developed social systems. There are countries presenting some specific deviations, such as Austria, France and Italy, which, unlike UK, have a very small number of people with disabilities, a fact which would explain how they show a high public expenditure per person and a small weight of this expenditure compared to Total public expenditure. The countries with the highest expenditure are the Nordic countries known for their well-developed welfare state models, while the countries with the lowest public spending are the Eastern European countries, in the process of restructuring their social policies. This approach to the measurement of public spending on disability gives a greater visibility of the public attention to disability in Europe and permits the comparability between the countries of our economic environment.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Spanish}, Affiliation = {Izquierdo, SM (Corresponding Author), Univ Valencia, Fac Econ, Valencia, Spain.

In developed countries, including Tanzania, information and communication technology (ICT), especially in PPE, is inadequately researched for laying evidence on its applicability in instruction and learning. Therefore, this paper aims to determine pre-primary teachers' preparedness in integrating ICT in classroom instruction and challenges teachers face in integrating it for child's meaningful learning. Design/methodology/approach Methods and instruments: a qualitative transcendental phenomenological approach was used in determining teachers' preparedness in integrating ICT in PPE in Tanzania. It was further used to collect data that describe the teaching and learning through the integration of ICT in every session as their lived experience for pre-primary teachers. Its selection was appropriate as it allowed researchers to systematically analyse for description the commonalities and differences existing among the involved teachers in integrating ICT in teaching and learning as their lived experiences (Moerer-Urdahl and Creswell, 2004). To appropriately analyse teachers' understanding and experiences regarding ICT and its integration in teaching and learning in pre-primary classes, semi-structured interviews and open-ended questionnaires were used for in-depth understanding of the study problem. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data through open-ended questions where researchers took an average of 40 min per session with participants' (teachers) using notebooks to take note of their thoughts, feelings and beliefs about ICT integration in PPE. Use of the semi-structured interview was based on the reality that it provides in-depth information pertaining to participants' experiences and viewpoints of a particular topic (Turner, 2010). Once the interview session was complete, each teacher was given a questionnaire to fill in for triangulating their experiences. Description of participants: a total of 14 schools constituting 28 teachers were purposively sampled and engaged in this study. Analysis of participants' demographic characteristics indicates that all of the involved teachers had certificate in teacher education that qualified them as primary school teachers. Meanwhile, 18 (66.7 per cent) of the pre-primary school teachers who were involved in this study were female with only 10 (33.3 per cent) had working experience at and above five years of teaching in early grade classes. Study participants (teachers) from Itilima and Meatu Districts were purposively involved in the study as their experiences in young children's learning and contextual influences (educational and training policy of 2014, the ICT policy of 2007, and foreign studies) are potential in improving the quality of learning. Study area: the current study was conducted in two districts (Itilima and Meatu) all found in Simiyu region. The two districts were selected and considered appropriate by the study as they constituted the 17 most disadvantaged rural areas in Tanzania (Mosha et al., 2015). Authors describe the two districts as having poor educational outcomes mainly relatively low pass rates in the primary school leaving examination results. In Itilima, one ward out of 22 was studied in which its six schools {[}with a total of 12 teachers] among 87 schools in the district were involved. While in Meatu district, eight of 121 schools {[}with a total of 16 teachers] in one ward of 29 wards were studied. This implies that a total of 14 schools and 28 teachers were involved in this study. Data analysis: the data collected through the interviews and open-ended questionnaires were subjected to content analysis procedures (reading and re-reading notes and transcripts followed by a three-steps-coding process consisting of open, axial and selective coding procedures). The analysis process was informed by the Vagle's (2014) six steps for phenomenological research data analysis procedure (holistic reading of the entire text, first line-by-line reading, follow up questions, second line-by-line reading, third line-by-line reading, and subsequent readings). Practically, the researchers read and re-read the texts and transcribed data from the language used during data collection that is Kiswahili, into the reporting language that is English. Following transcription, data were coded for developing categories of data through axial and elective coding processes. Findings The data analysis was conducted and results and its discussion are presented in three sub-sections: preparedness of teachers in using ICT in teaching and learning; teachers' views about the integration of ICT in teaching and learning; and challenges faced by teachers in integrating ICT in teaching and learning. Teacher's preparedness in the use of ICT in teaching: exploration of teachers' preparedness in integrating ICT in teaching and learning was preceded by exploration of teachers' understanding of ICT in teaching and learning. Analysis revealed that majority of teachers were aware about ICT in teaching and learning and they understood it as the implementation of curriculum at school level that involves use of ICT-based facilities such as television, mobile phones, computer and radio. Teacher elaborated that appropriate use of ICT-based facilities that would later develop children to potentially improve their understanding and practical application in daily life. Other teachers understood ICT in teaching and learning as use of printed materials {[}newspapers and magazines] in facilitating pupil's learning of planned lessons. While other teachers were aware of what ICT means the second category of teachers as noted in their responses, had limited understanding, as to them, ICT in education meant use of printed materials. Difference in teachers' understanding of the ICT in teaching and learning also indicate some teachers viewing it as use of ICT facilities in developing children's competencies in the specific subject. In the teachers' views, ICT is considered as subject content and they delimited their understanding into that perspective ignoring it as technological use for facilitating meaningful learning in all subjects. Their views are based on the development of children with competencies useful in facilitating further learning in the subject known as Teknolojia ya Habari na Mawasiliano. Following the question based on exploring teachers' understanding of ICT in teaching and learning, researchers explored teachers' preparedness in using ICT in teaching and learning. Table 1.0 illustrates teachers' multiple responses regarding their preparation. Table I: teacher's preparedness in using ICT in teaching and learning. S/N; preparedness; freq; and per cent. Enhancing child's understanding on the use of ICT-based facilities-20, 71.4; using remedial sessions teaching ICT-12, 42. 8; using ICT-based facilities for teaching other classes-8, 28.5. Table 1.0 illustrates that teachers are prepared to enable children use ICT to access information and more knowledge related to their school subjects and general life. They were of the view that ICT could serve well in areas where text and supplementary books are scares or torn-out by pupils because were poorly bound or due to poor quality of papers used. Therefore, availability of ICT facilities in schools would become important resource-materials for pupils, as well as teachers. For instance, a teacher said that; Availability of ICT facilities, such as computers in schools will help us in preparing notes or content for supplementing their learning. Different from the paper-based notes, computers will keep our notes properly compared to the papers that get easily displaced and hard to retrieve notes when lost (Interview, 20 April 2016). In addition to the use of ICT facilities in serving as resource material, their use in schools would aid pupils and teachers to use them beyond teaching and learning. Teachers narrated that children may find games and puzzles that all help in stimulating their thinking, hence interest in schooling and further learning. Teachers also said they are prepared to use even extra hours that are beyond school timetable to ensure children learn well to meet the uncovered periods once facilities are placed in school. Use of extra hours beyond the normal school timetable comm. Originality/value There is limited empirical evidence about teachers' engagement in research particularly in PPE in Tanzania. Together with limited research in the level of education, this study is the original contribution to state of teachers at the school level about their engagement in integrating information and communication technology for informing education decision makers and administrators on matters of focus to improve educational instruction and implementation of Tanzania education and training policy, as well as the implementation of the ICT policy of 2016.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Tandika, PB (Corresponding Author), Univ Dodoma, Dept Psychol, Coll Educ, Dodoma, Tanzania.

Many women endure PFD symptoms without seeking care. The Andersen's health behavior model explains health service utilization (HSU) using 4 domains: (1) individual needs for care, (2) resources or enabling factors, (3) predisposing factors, and (4) macrostructural/contextual factors. This study aims to apply this model to PFDs to determine the rate of HSUs in American women experiencing PFDs. The secondary objective was to examine HSU behavior using a variation of Andersen's model: the authors limited outcome variables to that of accessing PFD health services by any health care provider. As the normal Andersen's health behavior model covers broad personal health practices and general health behavior, this modification allowed for increased precision of individual predictors and relevance to urogynecology. Following PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) guidelines, the authors conducted a systematic review of literature on PubMed, using search terms relevant to PFDs (in addition to disparities in care access). Included were studies of community-dwelling PFD symptomatic women living in the United States and quantitative and qualitative studies with primary and/or secondary aims addressing care-seeking or HSU behavior. For this study, PFDs were defined as AI, LUTSs, and POP. Extracted data were as follows: first author's last name, study aim, year of publication, study population geographic location, study participant demographics, PFD types, insurance, number of care-seekers and/or non-care-seekers, participant age, race/ethnicity, education, income, employment, body mass index, general health status, language used in study, symptoms, and other barriers and/or promotors identified. Overall, 44 publications were found that met the criteria of the study. Of these, 36 were quantitative, 5 were qualitative, and 3 were mixed-methods studies. The predominant focus of these studies was LUTSs (33/44 studies), whereas only 2 were on POP, 5 onmultiple PFDs, and 4 onAI. More than half were publishedmore than a decade ago (25/44), and themajority were based on self-reporting to national surveys. Women with symptomatic PFDs exhibited a 37\% pooled prevalence of HSU, with determinants identified across the first 3 domains in the model only (macrostructural domains associated with HSU were not identified). For the first domain, quantitative studies demonstrated that PFD symptom severity and duration and preexisting depression were individual care needs associated with greater HSU behavior. Consistent with the quantitative data available in this study, qualitative data also demonstrated that facilitators of HSU were (1) longer symptom duration and (2) negative impact of PFD on quality of life. For the resources domain, established primary or secondary care and social support/networks increased HSU behaviors, but (oddly) higher income and employment were barriers to care. Of note, home remedy utilization was identified as a barrier to HSU in this category (taking of herbal supplements, use of diapers, and other self-management strategies). Predisposing factors noted to increase HSU in this study were age older than 50 years. Minority women were not well represented in this analysis, but notably, Asian women were significantly less likely to demonstrate HSU related to PFD. Qualitatively, there were no differences in socioeconomic status of women who did or did not show HSU, but the most common facilitator was awareness of PFD treatments, and common barriers included misinformation and normalization of pelvic floor symptoms. Limitations of this study include the possibility of missed publications with relevance (such as articles involving interstitial cystitis, sexual dysfunction, birth trauma, and others, as they are important aspects of PFDs). However, the team focused on studies related to common PFDs and their HSU, as opposed to peripheral analyses or pelvic floor conditions. Second, the study may be limited by using counts of themes and numbers of reporting studies in the overall qualitative analysis. Finally, significant heterogeneity in the studies indicates caution should be used in interpreting the operating room and pooled HSU rate for each identified determinant. The study indicates that designing inclusive interventions, building upon previous research frameworks, and addressing multilayered factors are all required for improving care-seeking rates of women with PFDs. To mitigate the glaring inequity in the United States of access to pelvic floor care, the authors recommend research focused on HSU for patients with POP or AI, implementation of multifaceted interventions, and investigations into macrostructural factors affecting HSU.}, Type = {Editorial Material}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Mou, T (Corresponding Author), Northwestern Univ, Dept Obstet \& Gynecol, Div Female Pelv Med \& Reconstruct Surg, Chicago, IL 60611 USA.

In light of the interest in micro-credit programmes and other HIV prevention interventions structured to empower women through increasing women's access to funds and education, this review examines the epidemiological and public health literature, which ascertains the association between low SES using different measurements of SES and risk of HIV infection in women. Also, given the focus on structural violence and poverty as factors driving the HIV epidemic at. a structural/ecological level, as advocated by Paul Farmer and others, this study examines the extent to which differences in SES between individuals in areas with generalized poverty affect risk for SES. Out of 71 studies retrieved, 36 studies met the inclusion criteria including 30 cross-sectional, one case-control and five prospective cohort or nested case-control studies. Thirty-five studies used at least one measurement of female's SES and fourteen also included a measurement of partner's SES. Studies used variables measuring educational level, household. income and occupation or employment status at the individual and neighbourhood level to ascertain SES. Of the 36 studies, fifteen found no association between SES and HIV infection, twelve found an association between high SES and HIV infection, eight found an association between low SES and HIV infection and one was mixed. In interpreting these results, this review examines the role of potential confounders and effect modifiers such as history of STDs, number of partners, living in urban or rural areas and time and location of study in sub-Saharan Africa. It is argued that STDs and number of partners are on the causal pathway under investigation between HIV and SES and should not be adjusted as confounders in any analysis. In conclusion, it is argued that in low-income sub-Saharan Africans countries, where poverty is widespread, increasing access to resources for women may initially increase risk of HIV or have no effect on risk-taking behaviours. In some parts of Southern Africa where per capita income is higher and within-country inequalities in wealth are greater, studies suggest that increasing SES may decrease risk. This review concludes that increased SES may have differential effects on married and unmarried women and further studies should use multiple measures of SES. Lastly, it is suggested that the partner's SES (measured by education or income/employment) may be a stronger predictor of female HIV serostatus than measures of female SES.}, Type = {Review}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Wojcicki, JM (Corresponding Author), Univ Calif San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94143 USA.

The paper explores the direct effect of foreign aid on poverty and quantifies the facilitating role of democracy in harnessing foreign aid for poverty reduction in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Design/methodology/approach The paper attempts to address the endogenous relationship between foreign aid and poverty by employing the two-stage least squares instrumental variable (2SLS-IV) estimator by using GDP per capita of the top five Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries sending foreign aid to SSA countries scaled by the inverse of the land area of the SSA countries to stimulate an exogenous variation in foreign aid and its components. The initial level of democracy is interacted with the senders' GDP per capita to also instrument for the interaction terms of democracy, foreign aid and its components. Findings The results suggest that foreign aid reduces poverty and different components of foreign aid have different effects on poverty. In particular, multilateral source and grant type seem to be more significant in reducing poverty than bilateral source and loan type. The study further reveals that democratic attributes of free expression, institutional constraints on the executive, guarantee of civil liberties to citizens and political participation reinforce the poverty-reducing effects of aggregate foreign aid and its components after controlling for mean household income, GDP per capita and inequality. Research limitations/implications The methodological concern related to modeling the effects of foreign aid on poverty is endogeneity bias. To estimate the relationship between foreign aid, democracy and poverty in SSA, this paper relies on a 2SLS-IV estimator with GDP per capita of the top five aid-sending OECD countries scaled by the inverse of land area of the SSA countries as an external instrument for foreign aid. The use of the five top OECD's Development Assistance Committee (OECD-DAC) countries is due to the availability of foreign aid data for these countries. However, non-OECD-DAC countries such as China and South Africa may be important source of foreign aid to some SSA countries. Practical implications The findings further suggest that the marginal effect of foreign aid in reducing poverty is increasing with the level of institutional democracy. In other words, foreign aid contributes more to poverty reduction in countries with democratic dispensation. This investigation has vital implications for future foreign aid policy, because it alerts policymakers that the effectiveness of foreign aid can be strengthened by considering the type and source of aid. Foreign aid and quality political institution may serve as an important mix toward the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 and the Africa Union Agenda 2063. Social implications As the global economy faces economic and social challenges, SSA may not be able to depend heavily on foreign partners to finance the region's budget. There is the need for African governments to also come out with innovative ways to mobilize own resources to develop and confront some of the economic challenges to achieve the required reduction in poverty. This is a vision that every country in Africa must work toward. Africa must think of new ways of generating wealth internally for development so as to complement foreign aid flows and also build strong foundation for welfare improvement, self-reliance and sustainable development. Originality/value This existing literature does not consider how democracy enhances the foreign aid and poverty relationship. The existing literature does not explore how democracy enhances grants, loans, multilateral and bilateral aid effectiveness in reducing poverty. This paper provides the first-hand evidence of how institutional democracy enhances the poverty-reducing effects of foreign aid and its components. The paper uses exogenous variation in foreign aid to quantify the direct effect of foreign aid and its components on poverty.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Akobeng, E (Corresponding Author), Lancaster Univ Ghana, Dept Business Studies, Accra, Ghana.

Research Design: A 4-year mixed-method ethnographic study that followed a diverse group of high-and underachieving students through their entire high school careers. Data Collection and Analysis: Data were collected by a diverse research team through participant observation and informal interviews in classrooms and other relevant in-and out-of-school settings; over 60 tape-recorded interviews with teachers, administrators, and students, including a diverse sample of 8 high-and low-achieving male and female students from the class of 2003 and their parents; and consultation of school documents and popular culture discourses and social narratives on youth, parenting, and schooling. All observational and interview data were analyzed and interpreted through an inductive process of constant comparison across and within cases. In addition, a grounded survey consisting of 44 forced-choice and 16 open-ended items was administered in March 2002 to 605 students. Differences in GPA on the basis of caregiving arrangements, mother's educational attainment, and SES were compared using the chi-square statistic. Differences in student responses to specific survey questions were compared across sex, SES, GPA, grade, and residing caregiver groups in bivariate models also using the chi-square statistic. These models were expanded to include multiple student attributes (sex, SES, age, residing caregiver, and so on) using multinomial logistical regression with key response contrasts as the dependent variables. Findings: The article describes the local cultural logic and set of practices that were oriented toward producing both the substance and image of competitive academic success, including (1) the class cultural community achievement ideology; (2) the school's institutional advantaging of its pupils; (3) student identities and strategies for school success; and (4) parental intervention in school and manipulation of educational policies. The piece's class cultural approach shows how these beliefs and practices constitute a highly integrated system with multiple internal feedback mechanisms that underlie its robustness. The article also discusses some of the costs of this unswerving orientation to individual advancement, including student stress and fatigue, alienation from learning, incivility, and marginalization of minority students. Conclusions and Recommendations: The article demonstrates another way in which class formation is mediated within the social fields of high schools, showing how this integrated cultural system of individual advancement is an important mechanism in the production of inequality in the contemporary United States. In addition, in identifying some of the deleterious effects of the role of competition in the cultural logic of schooling in this community, the article recommends that teachers and administrators enter into dialogues concerning the extent to which it is foregrounded or backgrounded in their own classrooms and schools.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Demerath, P (Corresponding Author), Univ Minnesota, Dept Educ Policy \& Adm, Minneapolis, MN 55455 USA.

However, studies evaluating the opinions of teaching and management staff regarding the necessary measures to prevent GBV or the obstacles they must face when addressing this problem in the educational field in our context are incipient. This work aims to validate two scales to know the opinions and evaluations of the educational personnel on the obstacles and the measures they consider necessary to tackle and prevent GBV in schools. A descriptive, cross-sectional and multicenter study was carried out to an intentional non-probability sampling. The study population was the directing and teaching staff of schools in the Province of Cordoba, Argentina. The study variables were: sex, years of experience in the position, age, educational level of the center (initial / primary / middle / tertiary), area (urban / rural), locality where the faceto-face training was carried out, prevention activities carried out in the educational center focused on: students, families, and the educational team; GBV training activities carried out by the educational team, women and/or families identified in GBV situation, families with judicial restraining order, team interventions education before GBV of the students and/or families, staff of the educational team that has lived or is experiencing a situation of GBV, meetings of the educational team with local community organizations to articulate activity to prevent and/or address GBV, need for training on GBV manifested by the teaching team. To measure opinions on the obstacles and measures necessary to address GBV in schools, we applied a self-administered questionnaire with two scales, one on obstacles and the other on measures, based on Spanish scales. A descriptive, bivariate analysis of the relationship of all variables with sex, exploratory factor and Cronbach's alpha was performed. Finally, a multiple regression model was constructed to test the convergent validity using each factor as the dependent variable. The first scale of ten items identifies a dimension of obstacles related to family ties and existing prejudices in the educational community. The second dimension, values aspects related to the scarcity of resources. For its part, the thirteen item scale of measurements has three dimensions. The first dimension, groups measures related to specialized help to address GBV, such as prevention programs, materials, and coordination with external organizations. The second groups the measures related to the need to have gender mainstreaming measures in the approach to GBV at school. The third dimension reflects the importance of staff training on these topics. Bonds and biases function as major obstacles for the elementary level. The importance given to specialized help, as a measure to prevent GBV, is mainly associated with educational teams that have expressed a need for training in this area. Those who have carried out prevention activities and primary schools, value more the mainstreaming of the gender perspective as a measure. Schools with staff who have lived or are experiencing a GBV situation consider GBV training as a highly relevant measure. The scales validated in this study are reliable and include empirical dimensions of the assessments of obstacles and measures in relation to the GBV approach in schools.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {Spanish}, Affiliation = {Saletti-Cuesta, L (Corresponding Author), Univ Nacl Cordoba UNC, Ctr Invest \& Estudios Cultura Soc, Consejo Nacl Invest Cient \& Tecn CIECS CONICET, Cordoba, Argentina.

Design/methodology/approach The results of the study, based on a cross-case analysis of seven organizations across industries, are primarily drawn from structured interviews and focus groups with aging employees, field visits and a review of archival documents and web-based resources, including newspaper reports and magazines. Findings This paper proposes that HR strategies that are appropriate for managing aging employees in organizations in Thailand's developing economy can be classified into four bundles: growth, maintenance, recovery and regulation. Each bundle of HR strategies consists of several HR practices that are appropriate for managing aging employees in organizations. In particular, from the perspective of aging employees, these HR practices help aging employees upgrade their skills, prepare them to have a sufficient amount of financial savings after retirement, ensure that they are safe, secure and healthy, help them feel that their tacit knowledge and experience are still valuable, and help them perform jobs that are appropriate for their physical health conditions. Additionally, the adoption and implementation of the proposed HR strategies and practices tend to be influenced by national institutions in terms of deficiencies in the national skill formation system, healthcare institutions, regulatory institutions and welfare state regime and by the national culture in terms of reciprocity and respect for elderly people (i.e. aging employees). However, there are five important HR practices that are specifically appropriate for managing aging employees in Thailand and other developing economies where the level of household debt and/or personal debt is high, where the increasing number of aging employees leads to high demand for medical services when the medical services offered by private hospitals are expensive, and where tacit knowledge and experience are important for creating and maintaining firms' competitive advantage: (1) the facilitation of financial planning, (2) safety and health training, (3) annual health check-ups, (4) the appointment of aging employees as advisors/mentors and (5) knowledge transfer/job enrichment. Research limitations/implications One of the limitations of this research is its methodology. Because this research is based on case studies of seven firms located in Thailand, the findings may not be generalizable to all other firms across countries. Rather, the aim of this paper is to further the discussion regarding HR strategies and practices for managing aging employees in organizations. Another limitation of this research is that it does not include firms located in several other industries, including the agricultural and fishery industry and the financial services industry. Future research may explore HR strategies and practices for managing aging employees in organizations located in these industries. Moreover, quantitative studies using large samples of aging employees who work in firms across industries might also be useful in deepening the understanding of HR strategies and practices for managing aging/retired employees in organizations. Practical implications This paper provides practical implications for top managers and/or HR managers of firms in Thailand and other developing economies where the level of household debt and/or personal debt is high, where the increasing number of aging employees leads to high demand for medical services when the medical services offered by private hospitals are expensive, and where tacit knowledge and experience are important for creating and maintaining firms' competitive advantage. In particular, the aging employees in this study identified the HR practices that they perceive as being appropriate for aging employees and that were already available in firms or that they expect their firms to have but are currently missing. In this regard, HR managers should take note of these good and appropriate HR practices to ensure that they become part of official, structured HR strategies and practices. This would ultimately help line managers and aging employees think more positively about the future of aging employees within the company and help retain invaluable aging employees over time. Social implications This paper provides social/policy implications for the government and/or relevant public agencies of Thailand and several other developing economies where the majority of aging people do not have sufficient savings to support themselves after retirement, especially when these countries are becoming aging societies, where the increasing demand for medical services cannot be adequately addressed by existing public hospitals while private hospitals' medical prices are quite expensive, and where intellectual property right (IPR) protection laws are weak. That said, such governments should encourage firms located in their countries to implement these HR strategies and practices for developing, maintaining, deploying and supporting aging employees. Originality/value This paper aims to contribute to the literature on human resource management (HRM), specifically on HR practices for aging employees, in the following ways. First, this study is different from the previous studies in that it examines HR practices for managing aging employees from an employee perspective, while most of the previous studies in this area have focused on the management of such employees from an employer perspective. In this case, it is possible that formal company policies may be different from actual HR practices as perceived by aging employees (Khilji and Wang, 2006). Second, this paper explores the implications of national institutions and cultures of Thailand's developing economy for the adoption and implementation of HR strategies and practices that are appropriate for managing aging employees in organizations. Finally, this paper examines HR practices that are specifically appropriate for managing aging employees in Thailand and other developing economies. The literature on HR practices for aging employees has overlooked developing economies, including the underresearched country of Thailand, as most of the studies in this area have focused on developed economies. In fact, developed economies and developing economies are very different in several respects, which may influence the HR strategies and practices that are appropriate for managing aging employees in organizations.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Napathorn, C (Corresponding Author), Thammasat Univ, Fac Commerce \& Accountancy, Thammasat Business Sch, Bangkok, Thailand.

Such factors are known to explain some of the discordance between objective clinical parameters and patient-reported levels of disability and treatment effectiveness. However, few data are available to help clinicians understand the psychosocial factors that apply to the world's many Asian populations. Insights gained from a qualitative study in such a population may support targeted interventions.Questions/purposesIn this qualitative study involving a group of Asian patients with knee OA in Singapore, we asked: (1) What psychologic factors contribute to patients' experiences, rehabilitation, and recovery? (2) What social factors contribute to patients' experiences, rehabilitation, and recovery?MethodsSemistructured interviews eliciting broad patient experiences of managing knee OA were conducted in an urban, referral-based tertiary hospital in central Singapore. Patients were recruited if they met either of the following criteria: Kellgren-Lawrence grade >= 3 (minimum of one knee); Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score <= 60; or the Pain average (P), interference with Enjoyment of life (E), and interference with General activity (G) (PEG) >= 5. All patients had a clinical diagnosis of knee OA, were ambulatory in the community with or without a walking aid, had not undergone partial arthroplasty or TKA, were prescribed nonsurgical treatment, and were conversant in either English or Mandarin. Forty-six patients (30 women and 16 men, mean age 64 years old) were recruited for this study. A thematic analysis with elements of grounded theory and framework analysis was performed using a deductive approach. Psychologic influences specific to patients' behavioral and emotional responses to pain, as well as social factors known to have an impact on the experience of managing knee OA, were identified in the interview transcripts and coded according to established factors from earlier research. An inductive thematic analysis was then applied to the remaining transcripts to identify new themes that emerged from the data. Thematic saturation was attained when study team members agreed data and thematic sufficiency were met in the 46 transcripts. The study team discussed and deemed the 46 transcripts to contain sufficient insights for a reasonably clear understanding of the codes and development of themes to answer the study's research questions.ResultsSix main themes related to psychosocial influences on pain emerged. Psychologic factors were ``loss of face{''} because of knee OA, anticipation and avoidance of pain and suffering, and a vicious cycle of negative emotional experiences. The social factors we identified were social and family support, workplace environment and employment uncertainty, and built environment (patients' ability to navigate manmade structures and facilities).ConclusionPsychosocial factors have an important impact on patients' physical, psychologic, and social functioning. Although several of our findings have been addressed previously, the phenomenon of loss of face and the wide spectrum of social and family support dynamics found in our Asian patients with knee OA were new findings. With loss of face, patients were concerned about how others would view the change in them, including movement changes because of knee OA. They appeared to associate the use of walking canes with major disability, loss of respect, and being discriminated against by others, motivating patients to ``save face{''} by dissociating themselves from those stigmas, even at the cost of mobility and independence. An interplay of complex cultural processes (perceived social roles and contributions to family, desire to avoid burdening family, help-seeking behavior, and the preference for unsolicited social support) underpinned by the value of collectivism impacted the behaviors and choices patients exhibited.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Tan, BY (Corresponding Author), Natl Healthcare Grp, Dept Orthoped Surg, Woodlands Hlth, 11 Jalan Tan Tock Seng, Singapore 308433, Singapore.

Glimpses from the European continent}, Journal = {RELACIONES INTERNACIONALES-MADRID}, Year = {2023}, Number = {53}, Pages = {31-48}, Month = {JUN-SEP}, Abstract = {Since the end of the 18th century, the burning and use of hydrocarbons has been the main source of energy used by mankind to achieve more developed societies, ignoring -at first - the high cost of natural resources involved. The use of this type of non-renewable energy has caused serious imbalances in the atmosphere and, in turn, a great impact on all the Earth's ecosystems, since any type of alteration in the atmosphere causes, as a consequence, further transformations in the rest of The conclusions reached by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are the results of more than 30 years of research dedicated to the study of the climate system and its alterations. It is not, therefore, a diffuse and banal reflection to be downplayed, quite the contrary, as it recreates the present and future scenario to which legal science must respond. Science, as usual, often leads the way in international rule-making and standard-setting processes, and has been decisive on climate change: there is an urgent need for a drastic reduction in the levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that human activities release into the atmosphere. Indeed, even if the Paris Agreement targets are met, resilience or adaptation and climate stability will be some of the greatest challenges facing humanity. There is now a clear scientific consensus on the unequivocal attribution of climate change to human activities. However, the impacts of climate variability are biased and the crosscutting issues that surround them, such as inequity and the vulnerability of multiple groups, such as women and children, are often displaced in the face of the severe damage already being done to the Earth's oceans, atmosphere, ice and biosphere, rapidly and pervasively. The greenhouse effect is an inherently discriminatory phenomenon because it affects systemically, unequally and disproportionately not only people belonging to a certain group, but also constitutes an emerging, progressive and increasingly frequent and intense damage to societies and nations that have not reached their maximum levels of development, or that lack the measures or the technology to adapt to climate variability. The purpose of this article is twofold. On the one hand, it aims to identify the direct consequences of anthropogenic global warming on women and children, interweaving the scientific basis with legal science, which will allow us to contextualize the current state of the situation in an objective manner; on the other hand, it aims to define the position of the international community on both issues, from a critical point of view, a human rights-based approach, and with a special reference to the European jurisdictional progress, which could contribute to enhance the international climate cooperation. This also includes legal proposals based on the principles of equal treatment and opportunities between women and men, and intergenerational equity, the empowerment of citizens to receive quality environmental education, the participation and integration of both women and new generations in political decisions on issues that affect them, and their inclusion in the discussion and analysis of the impact of the climate emergency based on scientific knowledge. This research is based on the axis of different theoretical frameworks, and seeks both to establish connections between different areas of knowledge and to provide an international legal response to the problem of global warming for women and children through the analysis of international law and its implementation. In addition, this study is based on the principle of scientific evidence that underpins the work of the IPCC and, more specifically, will build on the efforts of Working Group II (WGII) of the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) on impacts, vulnerability, and adaptation. In the international legal sphere, this paper aims to link two areas of international law as major references: international human rights law and the legal framework regulating climate change in the international forum. With regard to the structure of this article, we will find an introduction to the state of the question, followed by the theoretical-methodological aspects that are intertwined in this research: the interweaving of postcolonial feminist theory, scientific knowledge and legal argumentation. The second section of this study aims to contextualize the impacts of climate change on ecosystems and the most vulnerable groups, with references to the contributions of Working Groups I and II of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report and other scientific studies that support the position of the vulnerability of women and children to the adverse effects of climate change. Within the second section, the IPCC has concluded that countries are already experiencing increasing impacts such as biodiversity loss, extreme weather events, land degradation, desertification and deforestation, sand and dust storms, persistent drought, sea level rise, coastal erosion, ocean acidification and mountain glacier retreat, causing severe disruption to societies, economies, employment, agricultural, industrial and commercial systems, global trade, supply chains and travel. It has also reported thata there has been a devastating impact on sustainable development, including poverty eradication and livelihoods, threatening food security and nutrition and water accessibility. Furthermore, a sub-section has been created that will detail some of the impacts of climate change specifically on women and children. In this sense, it is evident that women's reproductive rights are affected, there is an increase in vector-borne diseases with discriminatory tendencies based on gender, the manifestation of socio-economic inequalities linked to climate change, marginalisation, and the lack of capacity of children to adapt to climate change. The third section is devoted to providing a legal overview of the doctrine's position on the matter and the cases currently being heard in some courts where the plaintiffs are women and minors. This section highlights the impossibility of ignoring both the feminist approach and the intergenerational equity approach. It is also pointed out that in the elaboration of climate policies, it is not enough to draw up a list of insufficient and empty climate policies to comply with international commitments, since when it comes to demanding the jurisdictional protection of human rights in the context of the climate crisis, there are a series of complications rooted in the evidentiary capacity that governs any judicial procedure. The conclusions section contains both a synthesis of the different sections of this article, as well as a series of legally and socially viable proposals that contribute to the knowledge of climate change, its different impacts, policies for prevention and adaptation to the risks of extreme meteorological phenomena and, if necessary, keys that reinforce the path towards climate litigation.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Zambrano, K (Corresponding Author), Univ Valencia, Valencia, Spain.

Elderly people enter unfamiliar territory as they move from home or hospital into a long-term care setting, which may be the first in a series of placements for their final years. African Americans have been subjected for decades to oppressive urban planning policies, including `serial displacement', which have systematically uprooted and dispersed them, their homes, and their places of business and worship. Around the world currently, 65 million people are displaced, most trying to escape uninhabitable environs involving war, persecution, drought, and famine. Some of these migrants and asylum-seekers reside in and around refugee camps but many are in urban enclaves or isolated outside them in desperately inhospitable conditions. Some are trying to integrate and make homes in new countries. Still more people are coming in perilous flight from the unfurling effects of climate change. `We are place-lings,' according to Ed Casey, `never without emplaced experiences'. Lorraine Code, explaining our social and geographical embeddedness and interdependence, describes us as `ecological subjects'. By recognizing place, we can deepen our appreciation for the ways in which we are radically relational, that is, interdependent with people, non-human others, and particular locations. This robust and realistic conception of our relational nature and its implications for health and ethics deserves more attention. Elsewhere I have argued for `ethical place-making' as morally obligatory for supporting the capability to be healthy, or health justice, for ecological subjects. Drawing on this conception of persons as creatures situated in specific social relations, geographic locations, and atmospheric and material environments, here I emphasize the importance of place and argue for an ideal and practice of `ethical place-making' as an essential and, indeed, ethically required way of demonstrating and forging future solidarity and advancing justice, particularly health justice. The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, I explain what I mean by place and examine the relationships, revealed by contemporary research in social epidemiology, between place and health. In Section 3, I build on the conception of persons as ecological subjects to ground what Carol Gould has called `solidaristic recognition', which, as I will interpret it, requires us to reckon with the significance of place in our relational nature. I then link solidaristic recognition to the ideal and practice of ethical place-making and, in turn, the capability to be healthy, that is, health justice. I argue that place-based interventions should be principal and prioritized ways of showing solidarity and promoting justice - especially health justice - for ecological subjects, above all those who are displaced and/or insecurely placed. Where solidaristic relations do not prevail, ethical place-making has the potential to catalyze and nurture them and, over time, to advance justice. A full discussion of the complex and contested relationship between solidarity and global justice is beyond the scope of what I can expound on here; I follow - and present concrete manifestations of - the views of Iris Marion Young and Carol Gould in seeing solidarity as having, as Gould puts it, a crucial `role not only in motivating people's commitment to the realization of global justice but {[}also] contribut{[}ing] to its construction or constitution.' In Section 4, I present examples of ethical place-making inspired by solidaristic recognition in a range of domains significant for bioethics - clinical and long-term care and urban planning in the United States and Netherlands, and refugee care and resettlement in Lebanon and Germany. In the cases presented, I describe how the particular elements of ethical place-making, emerging from solidaristic recognition, are realized, and so support the conditions for the capability to healthy, or health justice. Following this discussion, I move on to the conclusion. Place `is no fixed thing'. The accounts of geographers, philosophers, and some architects emphasize our embodied experience in or around place(s), place's significance for the development of our subjectivity and identity, and, finally, the complex social processes that help to create, maintain, and transform places (and, in turn, bodies and subjectivities). The understanding I follow here defines `place' in terms of the material environment, and how we, as embodied beings, move in, absorb, shape and are shaped by it, and how we, as social agents, interact with and within it, gather and attach particular meanings, and forge relationships and identities. A growing body of research in social epidemiology using realist methods explains in increasingly rich, if grim, detail the ways in which social conditions and features of the external environment, including place-related factors, affect health and longevity, and contribute to preventable health inequities. We are talking about components of the built environment, like land use, housing design, materials and quality, street layout and transportation, exposure to toxins, and violence, access to food and activity options; and urban design or decline. Air and water quality, and access to green space are other place-related factors. We should also include climate and the potential in specific locations for climate-related disasters in our scope of concern. So-called `determinants' such as these operate independently and interactively at various levels and in different contexts to generate harms to health and health inequities. On terrain more typical for bioethics, clinical and other care settings, as currently configured, are notoriously disorienting, anxiety-inducing, and in some ways dangerous for physical, psychological, and existential health. Researchers have detailed a range of effects of institutional design, including the effects of noise and light on recovery times, and the ways architecture can shape interactions and experiences. Long-term care settings are infamous for poor conditions. A lack of light, private space, and access to the outdoors, for example, and isolation from broader social surroundings, adversely affect the health of elderly people. People fleeing war, persecution, and famine endure desperate conditions that threaten health. Many reside in camps (in the form of transit camps and official refugee camps, detention centers, etc. ) while others dwell in slums or other settlements - primarily in urban areas - segregated from the majority population. These people suffer from a range of complex physical and mental health conditions. Before or during transit and in camps and other settings, they face food insecurity, risk of communicable disease, fear, violence, loss, and other experiences. If there is access to health services it is often restricted to acute medical care, and not equipped to adequately address chronic or mental health conditions or the social determinants of health needs. Migrants and asylum-seeking people thus lack crucial capabilities to be healthy. It is not that a relationship between place and health is a modern epiphany. Hippocrates' Airs, waters, and places, the epidemiological work of Louis-Rene Villerme and Rudolph Virchow in the 19th century, and the histories of public health and urban planning, all recognized the importance of environmental conditions. The asylums for the mentally ill in the late 19th century reveal an attention, if not yet evidence-based, for place in care and healing. Inspired by the Moral Treatment movement, New Enlightenment intellectuals, and health advocates like Dorthea Dix, Thomas Kirkbride established professional guidelines on institutional layout and room design for patients. Realist methods in social epidemiology, more recently, have deepened our appreciation and understanding of the processes at work on our corporeal nature, and our entanglement with the world around us. We are situated socially, materially, and geographically, and vulnerable as creatures who need care and who also need to `fit' with the places in which we dwell and through which we navigate. We are, in short, ecological subjects, beings for whom social interdependence and geographic locatedness are vital. As I will argue below, health justice, or the capability to be healthy, therefore demands thoughtful attention to place and the conditions that create and sustain places. In the next section, I explain the relationship between recognizing people as ecological subjects and the ideal and practice of solidarity. Solidarity, as I will define it, refers to reaching out through engaging our moral imaginations across social and/or geographic distance and asymmetry to recognize and assist others who are vulnerable, in some cases, acutely, and, over time, advance justice. As a practice, solidarity involves two core `enacted commitments'. The first commitment is to engaging our moral imaginations and recognizing others in need, or what I will describe below as solidaristic recognition. The second commitment is to responsive action. This hybrid definition draws upon the inspirational work of Iris Marion Young, Carol Gould, Fuyuki Kurasawa, and Prainsack and Buyx, all of whom build upon a long and rich history of interpretations of solidarity. Recognizing the suffering of the displaced and others who are `implaced' in conditions unable to sustain them follows from the most minimal appreciation of people as ecological subjects, relational creatures who are densely enmeshed in social relations as well as spatial locations. While my analysis differs substantially, to describe this here I use Carol Gould's term, `solidaristic recognition'. Gould distinguishes between what she calls `rigorous recognition' and `generous recognition'. Rigorous recognition appreciates the equality of all people through an essentially cognitive process involving an acknowledgment of our fellow humanity. The generous genre, which she recasts as `solidaristic recognition', involves empathy, or an affective link with others, and focuses on our `mutual interdependence and common needs'. Solidaristic recognition conceives of others as `equal in their difference', that is, their distinctive social group membership and individual particularity. On my own interpretation, solidaristic recognition has two varieties, neither of which relies on empathy: basic and relational, responsible recognition. If we conceive of people in ecological terms, basic recognition (similar to Gould's `rigorous recognition') might be expanded beyond its appreciation of everyone's equal moral worth to take account of the significance of place for the equitable flourishing of all ecological subjects. This most basic form of recognition acknowledges that we are equal in part because we all share a need to be `in place' in settings that can sustain us and support our capacities. A second, more ethically responsible, form of recognition I will call relational solidaristic recognition emerges from reckoning more thoroughly with our radically relational nature as ecological subjects. This reckoning demands that we conceive of ourselves and others as embedded but also that we understand that we are constitutive of one another and our environs. Geographers have described this in terms of the intersubjectivity of identity and place. In her philosophical account of ecological subjectivity, Lorraine Code underscores the idea that we are `made by and making {[}our] relations in {[}asymmetrical] reciprocity with other subjects and with horizontal ellipsis multiple, diverse locations'. Seeing not just identities, but also, critically, place in relational terms, highlights `the variety of interactions between people who are located differently that go into making places'. As Iris Young puts it, we `dwell together' in `complex, causal' relations of interdependence and in specific atmospheric and material conditions on earth in geographic regions and neighborhoods, in homes, and institutions of care and employment. We ecological subjects, then, contribute to the construction of place - often unintentionally - through actions and interactions within a larger context of social structures and processes. These structures and processes serve to enable some people in the realization of their capacities, yet constrain others, creating and/or sustaining structural injustice. This is evidenced, for example, in urban planning policies that spawn residential segregation or global economic and trade policies that compel health care workers to migrate and deepen health inequities in source countries. While basic solidaristic recognition can allow for or has the potential to generate ethical place-making, relational recognition understands the ways that our own subjectivities, identities, and places of dwelling as ecological subjects are formed in relation to other identities in other places and, crucially, that this generates responsibilities for justice. It is in this sense that relational solidaristic recognition is a more responsible form: it appreciates better-situated ecological subjects' contributions to the injustice suffered by the displaced or precariously placed, and aspires to respond and work toward promoting justice. Responsiveness , an important epistemic and, in turn, ethical capacity, is a crucial element for enactments of solidarity in the view I want to develop. Both Joan Tronto and Elise Springer assign `responsiveness' a prominent place in their work. Springer situates `responsiveness' within virtue ethics. On her view, it involves a kind of adaptability, particularly in unfamiliar moral terrain, or in the face of concerns that `resist clear representation'. Springer posits responsiveness as also involving a commitment to `extend a temporally continuous thread of attention' or giving one's moral attention over time, not episodically or reactively. Tronto identifies responsiveness as one of four ethical elements of care, casting it as a moral capacity that involves vigilance `to the possibilities for abuse that arise with vulnerability'. I would add another element as integral to responsiveness, drawn specifically from ecological epistemology: an ability to show finely tuned sensitivity to context, that is, the particularity of people and circumstance, and give attention and action that is fitting. Solidarity, enacted, should emerge from a disposition committed to responsiveness understood in terms of these capacities, if it is to meet the mark. In the next section I turn to responsive action that arises from solidaristic recognition, in particular, efforts at place-making for the displaced. Innovation, inspired by ecological thinking and increasingly evidence-based, is underway. `Place-making' is a set of intentional practices spanning different disciplines that targets neighborhoods, parks and paths, features of landscape, housing developments, streetscapes, long-term care facilities, and hospitals. With and without attention to health, it is either referenced explicitly or somehow central to key international documents and declarations including the Sustainable Development Goals and UN Habitat's New Urban Agenda. It is on the agendas of the World Health Organization (WHO), the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), even the World Bank, some think tanks and foundations, and a major US corporation. Public health leaders point to place-based interventions as `the new frontier'. In other work I have interpreted ethical place-making, a notion that first surfaced in the geography literature, as a core component of an enabling, capabilities-oriented conception of justice. Grounded in ecological thinking and an ecological conception of persons, ethical place-making understands all people as embedded socially and spatially, and often enmeshed in relationships of structural injustice that threaten health. Key elements of ethical place-making include: nurturing relations of care and interdependence; protecting bodily integrity; supporting autonomy, not interpreted in terms of individual self-reliance, but in the relational sense that sees us as originating, persisting, and flourishing within relations of care and interdependence, given ongoing opportunities for self-directed thought and action; promoting stability and a sense of rootedness and, at the same time, supporting generative movement; and finally, where necessary, responding to inequities. Below I offer selected examples of place-making drawn from a range of domains pertinent to bioethics. After describing them, I explain why they count as instances of ethical place-making inspired by (and potentially generating more) solidaristic recognition and how they stand to promote - especially health - justice and in some cases address health inequities. I start at the level of community and public health with an urban planning example, and from there, turn to a clinical and then a long-term care setting. These three case studies come from the global north. The final examples explore (mostly health-centered) place-making efforts in refugee reception and resettlement, sketching innovations in Germany and also Lebanon, a country that borders the war in Syria and ranks fourth worldwide as a host to refugees. Further research will yield additional instances of solidarity and place-making, particularly for health, in other parts of the world. In {[}a] system of the city as weaving, {[}creating] crosswise threads enables solidarity, and fundamental to solidarity is the free system of movement horizontal ellipsis `Intentional shrinkage', `sorting', and `serial displacement' are terms given to the urban land use and `development' policies that systematically shredded the social and material fabric in and around African American neighborhoods in New York City. Public health researchers have linked these policies and the consequent displacement of families, businesses, churches and more, to the AIDS epidemic, addiction, asthma, post-traumatic stress, and obesity. Working together, citizens, planners, and researchers responded with the Giraffe Path (GP), a 6-mile trail from Central Park to the Cloisters. The walking and biking path is a project emerging explicitly from the kind of solidarity described above: the recognition of the city and its people as ecologically embedded, with enduring health inequities as a result of displacements, and responsive action in the form of (re)creating place with and for ecological subjects. The GP is based on a conception of the city and its neighborhoods and residents as interdependent - and is designed to restore connections between formerly fractured communities around and across the Harlem River and, at the same time, to support outdoor physical activity. The closure of the bridge, that had long linked neighbors, as a `crime-prevention' measure for gentrifying neighborhoods, severed (in a pattern repeated in cities everywhere) relationships between people according to categories of class and race. By (re)connecting places and people and mending - as its designers say, `weaving', `re-stitching' - the GP helps restore these and cultivate new relations. At the same time, as part of the City Life Is Moving Bodies (CLIMB) Project, the GP's creation of flow and unimpeded movement is being celebrated as `a victory for the city's entire circulatory system'. The attention paid to (solidaristic recognition of) the importance of place for health and most significantly, health inequities, in this instance of ethical place-making is an exception and not the norm. Urban renewal policies and planning tend to prioritize physical, economic, and social issues, yet few focus explicitly on health or show concern for health equity. Another essential dimension for future solidarity is the potential for political engagement generated by the GP. As Iris Young argues (and the inset quote implies), segregation obscures from the affluent an appreciation of their privilege, and, by limiting interaction, constrains political communication. This erodes the potential for solidarity and perpetuates social injustice. The GP designers aspire to promote solidaristic recognition through facilitating new interactions, forging new relations, and evolving as ecological subjects. We must pay attention to the lived spatial significance of patients' experience of health and illness if we are going to treat them fully and well. Doing so is one step of paying attention to a person horizontal ellipsis The terrain and overall ambience of the clinical setting is famously hostile to non-medical people, notably the ones it exists to serve. Place-centered innovation in hospitals and other centers of care is a growing niche, recognizing the harms done to ecological subjects - here patients and their families - in the `care' of institutions built as medical assembly lines organized around time until discharge or demise. One neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at the Royal United Hospital in Bath, U.K., recognizes the importance of place for the health and well-being of vulnerable ecological subjects and puts into practice a concept known as `secure base', which wraps around patients and families `like a hug'. The unit's design also demonstrates solidarity with them in recognizing the effects of typical clinical settings and, in contrast, boasts lots of natural light, greatly reduced noise, private nooks, and a horseshoe-shape design that reflects the progression a newborn will take from intensive care to a neonatal room. In this case of ethical place-making, innovators aim to create a habitat that nurtures overlapping relations of care wherein babies sleep longer, and parents are perhaps a little less distressed, and more able to participate in care and interact with clinical care providers. As noted above, the structure of this temporary dwelling enables families to better understand, through their embodied experience, the clinical pathway the infants will follow until discharge, which in turn likely gives a boost to their sense of agency and empowerment and helps to level the playing field with clinicians. Designed by a long-term care nurse in response to her observations and experience of existing institutions, Hogeway Village accommodates elderly people with dementia in a setting meant to resemble a real European neighborhood. It has a market, cafe, salon, theater, sidewalks, and ample green space. Different models, tailored to appeal to specific social and cultural groups, are available. Staff engage with residents without clinical garb and simultaneously provide skilled care. Family members are integrally involved in care plans. Hogeway is built to protect yet not restrict, allowing residents a wide range of movement and access to the outdoors. The availability of palliative care ensures that residents do not have to relocate at the end of life, which allows for continuity of care and relationships. Another benefit is that family members need not navigate new terrains, or settings, of care or transportation as elders' needs evolve. Emerging research on long-term care settings designed more like homes and communities suggests that residents are more socially engaged and active, and experience better overall `well-being'. Preliminary evidence also suggests that integrating families in care can improve relations with care workers, as well as resident care and health. European cities and regions have demonstrated their horizontal ellipsis willingness to express solidarity with horizontal ellipsis the world's refugees via participation in resettlement. Solidarity is at the moral center of humanitarian action, and place-making by other names has long been integral to humanitarian operations. From an emphasis on emergency and temporary assistance, humanitarians have expanded the scope and practice of `solidarity' given the nature of current conflicts and the creation of dependencies that may lead to more sustained commitments. Their work now increasingly overlaps with development efforts to bolster host countries' capacities to receive, resettle, and integrate asylum-seekers and other migrants for the long term. Solidarity, indeed, is the basis of commitments to refugee resettlement in international humanitarian law. In 2004, the Mexico Plan of Action to Strengthen International Protection of Refugees in Latin America (MPA), which encompassed regional responsibility sharing, the expansion of resettlement space, reception capacity, and long-term integration, highlighted solidarity as a guiding principle for support of refugees from Columbia and their host countries. Northern Europe has been the preferred destination for refugees from Syria and other places where war has driven people from their homes. Germany, especially its cities, hosts more recent asylum-seekers than any other EU nation. Urban areas have absorbed two-thirds of the world's refugees and now face the work of integration. The region offers myriad examples of efforts in ethical place-making spawned by solidaristic recognition. In both Hamburg and Berlin, organizing around place has been a key strategy in welcoming and helping to integrate new arrivals. In Berlin, city planners have employed a strategy of creating container villages to help refugees feel secure and foster a sense of embeddedness-in-community. While formalized, state-administered efforts have unfolded, citizen volunteers have designed innovative responses to link refugees with needed services, helping to integrate them and provide a sense of place. The coordinated state and civil society effort, in particular, is an inspiring example of politically and socially constructed solidarity, supported and advanced by what Christine Straehle calls a `cosmopolitan avant-garde' of citizens. Hamburg is also innovative in linking services across sectors like food, shelter, education, work skills, and legal advice, appreciating the importance of integrating services for those who have endured profound dispersion and fragmentation. The city addressed housing needs by redesigning existing buildings and engaged local communities in deciding on locations in order to help ensure a welcoming, safe environment and avoid the possibility of local neighborhood resistance. The countries, such as Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey that serve as the principal hosts to refugees fleeing Syria, Afghanistan, and elsewhere, are organizing around so-called `resilience' strategies, which aim at bolstering host countries' capacities to accept and integrate asylum-seekers and other migrants for the long-term. This management philosophy deserves more sustained discussion. I highlight here another civil society initiative involving ethical place-making. In Lebanon during the war (1975-1990) public spaces were among the most dangerous places. Now they serve as temporary shelter areas for migrants and refugees displaced from neighboring conflict who face fear, discrimination, and violence in their new environs. In this context, one architect saw an opportunity: `I thought by promoting place-making in Lebanon we can join the efforts of local {[}civil society] actors, since horizontal ellipsis place-making is based on networking and bringing people together.' With his guidance, youth in Beirut participated in identifying and recreating public spaces with the aims of reducing violence, promoting inclusion, interaction, and community-building. Along with place-making for the sake of social integration, place-based interventions in healthcare services are surfacing in response to contemporary migration patterns. Adapting to the mobility of many displaced people who are, not accessing services in camps, for instance, humanitarian and local actors have reorganized healthcare delivery. The Blue Dot Hubs developed by UNHCR and partners to provide care and services to people en route are a specific example of a response - a place-making intervention to `changing therapeutic geographies' in modern crises. In the context of resettlement, interventions focused on the creation of `therapeutic landscapes' aim specifically at displaced children as they resettle in new countries. Through recultivating cultural traditions, building social networks, and creating safe places, young people can create new homes. These examples depict different modes of displacement and distinct populations situated in specific kinds of settings and in particular - yet in all cases asymmetrical - relations of power. In each case, responsive action, keenly sensitive to context, emerges from solidaristic recognition, either basic or relational. In some cases it aims explicitly at justice. We can see specific elements of solidarity-sparked ethical place-making across cases. Support for relations of care is at the heart of the efforts made in the Bath NICU and Hogeway Village designs, and also in the GP and initiatives for refugees. Attention to the need for rootedness and movement is manifested in these civil society efforts to welcome and create material, social, economic, and political space for refugees; it is also an organizing principle for the GP, Hogeway, and Bath's NICU. Transformative autonomy is evident in the GP, the therapeutic landscape projects, Hogeway, and the NICU. Attention to inequities, especially health inequities, motivates the GP and Blue Dot Hubs. In all, the creators - architects, designers, planners, carers, and citizens - recognize the `users', let us say `dwellers', as ecological subjects and respond with concerned attention to their distinctive needs, in real time and over time with the aim of supporting their capabilities, chiefly to be healthy, and in some cases to remedy injustice. I have argued that recognizing all people as ecological subjects enables us, indeed compels us, to forge relations of solidarity and promote justice through ethical place-making with those who are vulnerable through their insecure relationship to place. On the moral landscape(s) of bioethics, an ethic of place-making expresses and has rich potential for nurturing bonds of solidarity along with advancing health, social, and global justice with patients and families, elderly people transitioning to long-term care, urban populations confronting health inequities, asylum-seekers dwelling in precarious conditions, and perhaps others.

INTRODUCTION PLACE AND HEALTH: ECOLOGICAL SUBJECTS ECOLOGICAL SUBJECTIVITY AND SOLIDARITY Solidaristic recognition Responsiveness SOLIDARITY (AND HEALTH JUSTICE) ENACTED: ETHICAL PLACE-MAKING Community and public health Care settings Refugee assistance and integration The elements of ethical place-making CONCLUSION CONFLICT OF INTEREST Footnotes Drawing on a conception of people as `ecological subjects', creatures situated in specific social relations, locations, and material environments, I want to emphasize the importance of place and place-making for basing, demonstrating, and forging future solidarity. Solidarity, as I will define it here, involves reaching out through moral imagination and responsive action across social and/or geographic distance and asymmetry to assist other people who are vulnerable, and to advance justice. Contained in the practice of solidarity are two core `enacted commitments', first, to engaging our moral imaginations and recognizing others in need and, second, to responsive action. Recognizing the suffering of displacement and responding through place-making should follow from even the most simplistic understanding of people as `implaced'. Recognition, furthermore, that places are created and sustained, transformed, or neglected in ways that foster or perpetuate inequities, including health inequities, generates responsibilities concerning place-making. Place-based interventions, on either count, should be principal and, indeed, prioritized ways of showing solidarity for the vulnerable and promoting justice. Where solidaristic relations do not prevail, place-making can catalyze and nurture them, and over time advance justice. On the moral landscapes of bioethics, the terrain where care and health are or should be at the center of attention, an ethic of place and place-making for those who have been displaced - patients, the elderly, urban populations, and asylum-seekers, for instance - expresses and has rich potential for nurturing bonds of solidarity.}, Type = {Article}, Language = {English}, Affiliation = {Eckenwiler, L (Corresponding Author), George Mason Univ, Dept Philosophy, 4400 Univ Dr, Fairfax, VA 22030 USA.
