Download or read book Britain s Population written by Steven Jackson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britain's Population addresses issues relating to the demographic characteristics of British society. Many of the contemporary features of the population relate to changes in the past - particularly the ups and downs in attitudes to marriage and family formation. The history of these trends is considered, including the 'baby boom' of the 1960s when three million children were added to the population within the space of ten years. Jackson argues that the impact of this bulge generation can still be identified and will become of increasing importance when thegeneration reaches retirement age. Current trends in fertility are influenced by the changing structure of the labour market and by the delay in marriage and child bearing to later life. The 1990s has been the era of the 'double income no kids yet' partners and the thirty-something mother. In this book Stephen Jackson highlights how the plight of single mothers, the problem of funding pensioners, and the future of the welfare state, all depend on demographic trends in society.

Download or read book Ageing written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Lords: Science and Technology Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2005-07-21 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 2001 census there were more people over 65 than under 16 for the first time, and 20 per cent of the UK population is expected to be over 65 years of age by 2020. Consideration of this trend normally looks negatively at the economic costs and social problems involved, rather than the biological and psychological processes, and so this report approaches the subject from a scientific perspective. Firstly it examines the demographic background. Then it considers why and how ageing occurs, the ageing process, and the natural degeneration of the human body and mind over time, and looks at those diseases which are particularly prevalent in old age. There are exciting developments in biological research into the causes of ageing, and into what can be done to slow the adverse effects of the ageing process and improve the quality of life of older people. In the case of the individual diseases which predominantly affect older people, research is also showing promising avenues of development in prevention and treatment. Next the report examines the environmental challenges, assistive technology, and the failure of industry to seize the opportunity to exploit the underdeveloped market that the elderly represent. The Committee comments here on the failure to apply existing technologies rather than the pace of new developments. The report also covers management by the Government of health in old age, both for the individual and for society as a whole, and the strategic direction and coordination of ageing-related research. It finds that research is being inhibited by two main factors which are the responsibility of the Government: the treatment of the scientific aspects of ageing as very much the junior partner in any consideration of older people; and a lack of coordination, in particular between the research councils.

Download or read book Neighborhoods and Health written by Ichiro Kawachi and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-03-20 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do places make a difference to people's health and well-being? The authors of this groundbreaking textbook demonstrate convincingly how the physical and social characteristics of a neighborhood can shape the health of its residents. Drawing on the expertise of a renowned cast of researchers, this book presents a state-of-the art account of the theories, methods, and empirical evidence linking neighborhood conditions to population health. Represented in the volume are contributions from the world's leading investigators in the field, including social epidemiologists, demographers, medical geographers, sociologists, and medical practitioners. This comprehensive textbook lays out for the first time the methodological approaches to conducting neighborhood research, including multi-level and contextual analysis, geocoding and the use of small area-based measures of deprivation, as well as the evolving science of "ecometrics." Substantive chapters present the case for the relevance of neighborhood effects on health outcomes throughout the life cycle, from infant mortality and low birthweight, to childhood asthma, adult infectious diseases, and disability in old age. The approaches covered in the book range from testing the linkages between community-level variables, such as social capital and residential segregation, and population health to designing and implementing community interventions and policies to improve the health of the public. The book is a timely companion volume to Social Epidemiology (Oxford University Press, 2000), edited by the same authors, and an indispensable manual on neighborhood research for students, researchers, and practitioners.
Download or read book Ethnic Identity and Inequalities in Britain written by Jivraj, Stephen and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2015-05-13 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As debates around ethnic identity and inequality gain both political and media interest, this important book is the first to offer in-depth analysis from the last three UK population censuses focusing on the dynamics of ethnic identity and inequalities in contemporary Britain. While providing a comprehensive overview, it also clarifies concepts associated with greater ethnic diversity, increased segregation, exclusive growth of minority groups through immigration and a national identity crisis. The contributions, all from experts in the field based at or affiliated to the Centre on Dynamics of Ethnicity, highlight persistent inequalities in access to housing, employment, education and good health faced by some ethnic groups. The book will be a valuable resource for policy makers and researchers in national and local government, community groups, academics, students, and will act as an authoritative text to cite in reports, dissertations and funding applications.
