Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Care Relations in Southeast Asia: The Family and Beyond, edited by Patcharawalai Wongboonsin and Jo-Pei Tan, examines the care relations and transactions within and beyond the family network across three middle-income Southeast Asian countries, namely the Federation of Malaysia, the Kingdom of Thailand and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam at the national and sub-national level. On the national level, changes and continuity in care relations along the changing demographic, socio-economic and political contexts of each country are addressed. On the sub-national level, the complex dimensions of care relations are analyzed by looking at the attitude towards and practice of elderly and child care within, between and beyond the family system. These regional analyses are based on merged data of three most recent family surveys in Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok Metropolis, and Hanoi. Alternative and innovative policy recommendations for current and future challenges are also offered.

Download or read book What are the Determinants of Delayed Childbearing and Permanent Childlessness in the United States written by David E. Bloom and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents estimates of delayed childbearing and permanent childlessness in the United States and the determinants of those phenomena.The estimates are derived by fitting the Coale-McNeil marriage model to survey data on age at first birth and by letting the parameters of the model depend on covariates. Substantively, the results provide evidence that the low first birth fertility rates experienced in the 1970's were due to both delayed childbearing and to increasing levels of permanent childlessness. The results also indicate that (a) delayed childbearing is less prevalent among blackwomen than among non-black women, (b) education and labor force participation are important determinants of delayed childbearing, (c) the influence of education and labor force participation on delayed childbearing seems to beincreasing across cohorts, (d) education is positively associated with heterogeneity among women in their age at first birth, (d) the dispersion of age at first birth is increasing across cohorts, (f) race has an insignificant effecton childlessness, and (g) education is positively associated with childlessness, with the effect of education increasing and reaching strikingly highlevels for the most recent cohorts.

Download or read book Breastfeeding written by Patricia Stuart-Macadam and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breastfeeding is a biocultural phenomenon: not only is it a biological process, but it is also a culturally determined behavior. As such, it has important implications for understanding the past, present, and future condition of our species. In general, scholars have emphasized either the biological or the cultural aspects of breastfeeding, but not both. As biological anthropologists the editors of this volume feel that an evolutionary approach combining both aspects is essential. One of the goals of their book is to incorporate data from diverse fields to present a more holistic view of breastfeeding, through the inclusion of research from a number of different disciplines, including biological and social/cultural anthropology, nutrition, and medicine. The resulting book, presenting the complexity of the issues surrounding very basic decisions about infant nutrition, will fill a void in the existing literature on breastfeeding.

Download or read book Determinants of Health written by Michael Grossman and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 811 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of Michael Grossman’s most important papers adds essential background and depth to his work on economic determinants of public health. Each of the book’s four sections includes an introduction that contextualizes the issues and addresses the larger stakes of his work. An afterword discusses the significance of Grossman’s approach for subsequent research on health economics, as well as the work others have done to advance and extend his innovative perspective. Determinants of Health explains how the economic choices people make influence health and health behaviors. It begins with a section on the theoretical underpinnings and empirical results of Grossman’s groundbreaking health economics model, first introduced in the 1970s, followed by essays on the relationship between health and schooling; determinants of infant health, with a special emphasis on public policies and programs; and the economics of unhealthy behaviors. Grossman treats health as a form of human capital. He shows that public policies and programs that determine the price and availability of key inputs have critical effects on outcomes ranging from birth weight and infant mortality to cigarette smoking, alcohol abuse, illegal drug use, and obesity. Grossman’s approach has led to a major stream of literature in the field, sparking contributions by the world’s leading health economists, including Joseph Newhouse, Jonathan Gruber, Amy Finkelstein, Michael Greenstone, and David Cutler. His clarity on the role that economics play in people’s good and bad health choices is immensely valuable to the debate over how we legislate and spend on health.

Book excerpt: किसी देश की जनसंख्या वहां की समृद्धि एवं विकास के लिए महत्वपूर्ण कारक होता है। इस संबंध में जनसंख्या की मात्रात्मक एवं गुणात्मक विशेषताओं की जानकारी आवश्यक होती है। जनसंख्या की वृद्धि का एक महत्वपूर्ण घटक मत्र्यता है। विकासशील एवं अविकसित राष्ट्रों में मत्र्यता की स्थिति अच्छी नहीं है। भारत की स्थिति को भी अच्छा नहीं कहा जा सकता है। भारत की स्थिति को भी अच्छा नहीं कहा जा सकता है। वहीं भारत की तुलना में छत्तीसगढ़ की स्थिति अधिक चिन्तनीय है। जबकि ग्रामीण एवं नगरीय क्षेत्रों की मत्र्यता में भी अधिक अन्तर है। मत्र्यता के अध्ययन में शिशु – मत्र्यता एक महत्वपूर्ण पक्ष है। छत्तीसगढ़ के ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों की तुलना में नगरीय क्षेत्रों में स्वास्थ्य सुविधाएॅं अधिक अच्छी है, जिससे नगरीय क्षेत्रों में शिशु – मत्र्यता अपेक्षाकृत कम है । फिर भी विश्व एवं भारत की तुलना में छत्तीसगढ़ के नगरीय क्षेत्रों में शिशु – मत्र्यता की स्थिति सोचनीय है। यद्यपि वर्ष 2000 में छत्तीसगढ़ राज्य के निर्माण के बाद से शिशु – मत्र्यता में निरंतर कमी आ रही है । ऐसी स्थिति में ‘छत्तीसगढ़ के नगरों में शिषु मत्र्यता प्रतिरूप’ पर डाॅ. सरला शर्मा का यह अध्ययन सामयिक, संदर्भित एवं उपयोगी है। इस अध्ययन में डाॅ. सरला शर्मा ने छत्तीसगढ़ के नगरों में शिशु – मत्र्यता के कारण, इसे प्रभावित करने वाले जनांकिकी, सामाजिक, आर्थिक एवं सांस्कृतिक कारणों का गहन अध्ययन किया है। साथ ही नगर एवं उपांत क्षेत्रों में पारिवारिक सुविधाओं तथा मातृ – शिशु कल्याणकारी योजनाओं के प्रभावों का प्रशंसनीय विश्लेषण किया है। यह सम्पूर्ण अध्ययन प्राथमिक आॅंकड़ों के आधार पर किया गया है। आशा है यह अध्ययन छत्तीसगढ़ में शिशु – मत्र्यता की स्थिति को समझने एवं इसे कम करने हेतु प्रभावी कार्यक्रम बनाने में संलग्न व्यत्तियों, शासकीय एवं अशासकीय अभिकरणों, जनसंख्या भूगोल के अध्येताओं एवं शोध कत्र्ताओं के लिए उपयोगी सिद्ध होगा। इस अध्ययन के लिए डाॅ. सरला शर्मा बधाई की पात्र हैं। एम. पी. गुप्ता प्रो. एवं भूतपूर्व अध्यक्ष भूगोल अध्ययनशाला, पं. रविशंकर शुक्ल वि.वि. रायपुर (छ.ग.)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Malaria Report 2015assesses global malaria disease trends and changes in the coverage and financing of malaria control programs between 2000 and 2015. It also summarizes progress towards international targets, and provides regional and country profiles that summarize trends in each WHO region and each country with malaria. The report is produced with the help of WHO regional and country offices, ministries of health in endemic countries, and a broad range of other partners. The data presented are assembled from the 96 countries and territories with ongoing malaria transmission, and a further five countries that have recently eliminated malaria. Most data are those reported for 2014 and 2015, although in some cases projections have been made into 2015, to assess progress towards targets for 2015.
