Abstract:
Puerperal fever was a devastating disease. It affected women within the first three days after childbirth and progressed rapidly, causing acute symptoms of severe abdominal pain, fever and debility. Although it had been recognized from as early as the time of the Hippocratic corpus that women in childbed were prone to fevers, the distinct name, “puerperal fever” appears in the historical record only in the early eighteenth century.

Abstract:
In eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Britain, a bacterial infection which we now know to be caused primarily by a streptococcus, was killing women in childbirth at an alarming rate. The disease, called puerperal, or childbed, fever, was being transmitted primarily from doctor to patient by a doctor’s unwashed hands and filthy, contaminated clothing and linens. Despite this evident and, in retrospect, obvious vector, the doctors of this period never discovered how to prevent their patients from dying a gruesome and painful death. Many physicians wrote extensive accounts of the illness but often ended their works in despair, unable to find the cause. Much of the historical literature blames this befuddlement on personality traits of the physicians, arguing that egos and professional hostilities prevented the kind of cooperation that could have led to progress. This study attempts to show that this failure was not a product of personalities but of the modern physicians’ assumptions and logic. The assumptions were the stillpowerful, but often unnoticed, dictates about the human body handed down from ancient Greek medicine. The logical errors were a product of pre-scientific notions of definition, explanation, and evidence. The author argues that it was not a lack of data that thwarted the physicians, but a series of these intellectual roadblocks that prevented them from understanding and extended the terror of puerperal fever for another two centuries.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Feber drabbar barn någon eller några gånger om året, framförallt under småbarnstiden. En vanlig missuppfattning är att feber är ett potentiellt farligt tillstånd som kräver behandling. I motsats till detta har feber gynnsamma effekter när det kommer till kroppens bekämpande av infektioner. Kunskapsläget bland distriktssköterskor som ska tillhandahålla föräldrar rådgivning kring feber och febernedsättande läkemedel varierar, varför föräldrar riskerar att erhålla motstridiga och direkt felaktiga råd. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva föräldrars kunskap rörande feber hos barn samt att belysa vårdpersonals attityder kring feberhantering. Metod: Arbetet har utförts i form av en integrativ litteraturstudie som inkluderade totalt 15 artiklar, såväl kvalitativa som kvantitativa. Integrativ studiedesign tillåter kvantitativa data att kvalificeras och kvalitativa data att kvantifieras så att de kan kombineras och sammanfogas till en gemensam helhet. Resultat: Det finns brister i kunskapen om feber hos barn hos vårdpersonal och föräldrar. Feberfobi är en samlande term för den okunskap och oro som riskerar leda till övernitisk behandling med antipyretika, både genom föräldrars eget initiativ och efter rekommendation från vårdpersonal. Feberkramper kan inte förhindras med febernedsättande läkemedel, trots det erhåller barn läkemedel i detta syfte och utsätts därmed för onödig biverkningsrisk. Diskussion: Ett behov av djupare kunskap hos både vårdpersonal och föräldrar finns för att inte evidensbaserad behandlingsregim ska riskera att gå förlorad till förmån för inadekvata och hemsnickrade varianter med onödig administration av antipyretika och vidare spridning av feberfobi. Nyckelord: Antipyretika, Barn, Feber, Feberfobi, Kunskap, Litteraturstudie
Introduction: Fever is something children, especially during infant years, experience one or a few times each year. A common misconception is that fever is a dangerous condition that requires treatment; however contrary to these misconceptions, fevers have positive effects when it comes to body’s ability to fight infections. The level of knowledge on this subject of district nurses, whose task it is to guide parents with advice concerning fevers and antipyretics, varies. This results in parents getting contradictory and erroneous advice. Aim: The aim of this literature study was to describe parents’ knowledge concerning fever in children, and to illuminate attitudes concerning fever treatment among health care professionals. Method: A literature review of 15 scientific articles where examined in accordance with an integrative study design. The integrative design allows qualitative and quantitative data to be combined and merged into a common whole. Results: There is a lack of knowledge about fevers in children among health care professionals and parents. Fever phobia is a collective term for the lack of knowledge and worrying that can lead to overzealous treatment with antipyretics; based on parents’ own initiative and recommendations from health care professionals. Antipyretics do not prevent febrile seizures, but many children are still medicated for this purpose. This, in turn, leads to increased risk for side effects. Discussion: There’s a need for a deeper knowledge, in both health care professionals and parents, to ascertain that an evidence-based treatment regimen is not replaced by inadequate and home-grown techniques, leading to unnecessary administration of antipyretics and further propagation of fever phobia. Keywords: Antipyretics, Children, Fever, Fever phobia, Knowledge, Literature study

Abstract:
Tepid sponge baths can distress febrile children, and are of unproven value for reducing fever. This study compared the cooling effect of acetaminophen alone, and acetaminophen plus a 15 minute tepid sponge bath. Twenty children (age range: 5 to 68 months) seen at the Urgent Care or Emergency Department with fever of ≥ 38.9°C were randomized to receive (1) no sponge bath, or (2) a 15 minute sponge bath 30 minutes after the acetaminophen. Subjects received a 15 mg/kg dose of acetaminophen. Tympanic temperature was monitored every 30 minutes for two hours, and subjects were monitored for signs of discomfort (crying, shivering, goosebumps). Significance level was set at 0.05. Sponge bathed subjects cooled faster during the first hour; however, there was no significant difference between groups in overall temperature change after two hours. Sponge bathed subjects had significantly higher discomfort scores during the bathing period only (p ≤ 0.009).

Full text
Abstract:

Background: Incident rates of dengue fever are rapidly increasing worldwide. Contributing factors including climate change, urbanization, globalization, and vector mutation, are creating significant public health challenges. Dengue fever has no vaccination, and no cure; therefore prevention through vector control is the primary method of public protection. Research indicates that community involvement is critical in achieving vector control, and that children, disproportionally burdened by this disease, are an effective and appropriate population to target with interventions. Innovative, sustainable, cost effective strategies are needed. Objective: It was theorized that an educational animation regarding dengue fever, created using CDC guidelines, would be effective at improving knowledge, attitude, and practices in primary school children in Florida. An animation entitled "Dengue Fever Comes To Town" was developed to assess this concept. Methods: A pretest/posttest study was conducted. Knowledge changes were statistically evaluated using a Two-tailed Paired Sample t-test. Attitude changes were evaluated using a Wilcoxon Matched Pair Signed Rank. Practice changes were evaluated using a chi-square test. Results: The animation was effective at improving knowledge, attitude, and practices in third through fifth grade levels, for both males and females. Recommendations: Given the vulnerability of the population, and the increasing risk of dengue fever, establishment of preventive education is recommended, including adding the educational animation to school curricula in Florida.

Kojima, Kazue. "Gender, family and fertility : why are Japanese women having fewer children?" Thesis, University of York, 2013. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/5164/.

Abstract:
Japanese women are having fewer children than ever before. There have been many quantitative studies undertaken to attempt to reveal the reasons behind this. The Japanese government has been concerned about the future economic decline of the country, and has been encouraging women to have more children. Although the Japanese government has been supporting women financially, it has not focused on gender equality, making it more difficult for women to be able to pursue their chosen careers. Japanese women have greater access to higher education than ever before, yet the Japanese patriarchal social structure still compels women to rely on men and all but eliminates their independence. The Japanese male-dominated society is resistant want to change. Family ties are still very strong, and women are expected to take care of the household and do unpaid work, while men work outside the home and earn a paid salary. In the labour force, women do not enjoy the same level of equality and opportunity as their male counterparts, as it is naturally marry, have children, and take care of the family. The system is skewed in favor of the males. Women are not able to pursue the same career path as men; even from the start, women are often considered as candidates for potential wives for the male workers. In the course of this research, I conducted a total of 22 interviews of single and married Japanese women. I set out to explore and discover the causes behind why Japanese women are choosing to postpone marriage and have fewer children, as well as touching upon the much deeper issue of gender inequality due to the Japanese patriarchal social structure. Women cannot live how they want to and only for themselves; they must always put their families first. This study reveals the struggles of Japanese women and how many are confused, and how some resist the patriarchal system. Many women waste their education, careers, knowledge and experience, all in the name of maintaining family ties and the patriarchal social structure.

Abstract:
Introdução: A febre sem sinais localizatórios é definida como presença de febre de até 7 dias de duração, sem identificação da causa após anamnese e exame físico detalhados. A maioria destas crianças apresenta doença infecciosa aguda autolimitada ou está em fase prodrômica de uma doença infecciosa benigna. Poucas têm infecção bacteriana grave: bacteremia oculta, pneumonia oculta, infecção urinária, meningite bacteriana, artrite séptica, osteomielite ou celulite. Embora a febre seja uma das queixas mais comuns nos serviços de emergência, a abordagem da criança febril permanece controversa. Objetivos: avaliar a aplicabilidade de um protocolo padronizado para o atendimento e seguimento das crianças até 36 meses de idade com febre sem sinais localizatórios e analisar os fatores de risco para infecção bacteriana grave nestas crianças. Métodos: estudo prospectivo em crianças até 36 meses de idade que procuraram o pronto socorro do Hospital Universitário da Universidade de São Paulo, com quadro de febre sem sinais localizatórios, durante o período de um ano (junho/2006 a maio/2007). As crianças foram atendidas conforme protocolo que estratifica o risco de infecção bacteriana grave de acordo com a presença ou não de toxemia, idade e valor da temperatura. Conforme a avaliação de risco, indicava-se triagem laboratorial (hemograma, hemocultura, sedimento urinário, urocultura e, se necessário, radiografia torácica, liquor e coprocultura). Os fatores de risco para infecção bacteriana grave estudados foram: sexo, idade, presença de toxemia, temperatura, número total de leucócitos, número total de neutrófilos e número total de neutrófilos jovens. Resultados: Foram seguidas 215 crianças, sendo 111 (51,6%) do sexo feminino. A média de idade foi de 11,85 meses (DP ± 8,91). Vinte crianças, na avaliação inicial, apresentavam algum grau de toxemia, e 195 estavam em bom estado geral. Nas crianças de 3 a 36 meses não toxêmicas, 95 tinham temperatura axilar >39ºC. Em 107 crianças (49,8%), houve melhora espontânea do quadro febril; em 88 (40,9%), foi identificada doença benigna autolimitada; e em 20 (9,3%), infecção bacteriana grave. Dentre as infecções bacterianas graves, identificou-se 16 infecções urinárias, três pneumonias e uma bacteremia oculta. Das 215 crianças, 129 (60%) não receberam qualquer antibioticoterapia, e 86 receberam antibiótico em algum momento. O antibiótico empírico foi mantido por, em média, 72 horas. Na análise univariada, dos fatores utilizados para estratificação de risco para infecção bacteriana grave, apresentaram níveis descritivos inferiores a 0,05 a temperatura >39oC, o número total de leucócitos >15.000/mm3 e >20.000/mm3 e o número total de neutrófilos >10.000/mm3. Na análise multivariada apenas o número total de neutrófilos >10.000/mm3 mostrou-se estatisticamente significante. Conclusão: o protocolo aplicado mostrou-se adequado para o atendimento e seguimento destas crianças utilizando para busca de infecção bacteriana grave exames simples e passíveis de serem realizados na maioria dos serviços. A maioria das crianças apresentou resolução espontânea do quadro de febre. Todas as infecções bacterianas graves foram identificadas, sendo a infecção urinária a mais comum. Dentre os fatores de risco o número total de neutrófilos >10.000/mm3 associou-se de maneira estatisticamente significante com infecção bacteriana grave, tanto na análise univariada como na multivariada.
Introduction: Fever without localizing signs is defined as the presence of fever of up to 7 days duration, without identifying the cause after history and physical examination. Most of these children presented self-limited acute infectious disease or is in the prodromal phase of a benign infectious disease. Few have serious bacterial infection: occult bacteremia, occult pneumonia, urinary tract infection, bacterial meningitis, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis or cellulitis. Although fever is a common complaint in emergency departments, the approach to febrile children remains controversial. Objectives: To evaluate the applicability of a standardized guideline for the management of children up to 36 months of age with fever without localizing signs and examine the risk factors for serious bacterial infection in these children. Methods: Prospective study involving children up to 36 months of age with fever without localizing signs treated at the emergency department of Hospital Universitário, Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil, from June 2006 to May 2007. The children were treated according to the guideline that classifies the risk of serious bacterial infection according to the presence or absence of toxemia, age and temperature. The laboratory screening was based on risk assessment (blood test, blood culture, urine sediment, urine culture and, if necessary, chest radiograph, cerebrospinal fluid and stool culture). Risk factors for severe bacterial infection were studied: sex, age, presence of toxemia, temperature, total number of leukocytes, total number of neutrophils and total number of young neutrophils. Results: We studied 215 children, 111 (51.6%) females. The mean age was 11.85 months (SD ± 8.91). Toxemia was found in 20 children, and 195 were well-appearing. Among the children from 3 to 36 months without toxemia, 95 had axillary temperature >39ºC. In 107 (49.8%) children, there was spontaneous resolution of fever; in 88 (40.9%), benign self-limited disease was identified; and in 20 (9.3%), there was serious bacterial infectious. Among the serious bacterial infections, we identified 16 urinary infections, three cases of pneumonia and one occult bacteremia. Of the 215 children, 129 (60%) received no therapy, and 86 received antibiotics at some point. Empirical antibiotic treatment was maintained for an average of 72 hours. The temperature >39°C, the total number of leukocytes >15.000/mm3 and >20.000/mm3 and the total number of neutrophils >10,000/mm3 were statistically significant (p<0,05) in univariate analysis of the factors used for risk stratification for serious bacterial infection. In multivariate analysis only the total number of neutrophils >10.000/mm3 was statistically significant. Conclusion: The guideline was shown to be appropriate to follow up these children using simple laboratory tests that can be carried out at most health facilities. Most of the children had spontaneous resolution of fever. All serious bacterial infections were identified, and the urinary tract infection was the most common. Among the risk factors studied the total number of neutrophils >10.000/mm3 was statistically significant with serious bacterial infection in both, univariate and multivariate analysis.

Abstract:
Background: The epidemiological, genetic and host immunogenetic association between Group A P haemolytic Streptococcal (GAS) pharyngotonsillitis and the subsequent development of Acute Rheumatic Fever (ARF) and Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) is an area of major interest. RHD still remains an important contributor to cardiovascular disease in children and adults in Yemen. Aims: The purpose of this study was to determine: (i) the prevalence ofRHD among primary school children in Aden City, Yemen, (ii) the prevalence of GAS and Non Group A β haemolytic Streptococcal (SNA) pharyngotonsillitis among patients attending primary health care centres, (iii) the distribution of emm genotypes and selected superantigen prophage exotoxin anasofgenes among GAS and SNA , (iv) the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of GAS and SNA in patients with a history of ARF and RHD, (v) comparision of a profile of selected cytokines and chemokines between ARF and recurrent rheumatic fever (RRF) patients. Methods: A cross-sectional case-finding survey of RHD was conducted in 6000 school children aged 5 - 16 years in Aden City to determine the prevalence of RHD. A cross- sectional descriptive survey was undertaken in 730 children aged 1- 16 years with acute pharyngotonsillitis to determine the prevalence of GAS and SNA infections. Thirty four throat culture isolates from patients with GAS and SNA pharyngotonsillitis with history of ARF and echo-proven cases of RHD were analyzed by a multiplex PCR method to determine the emm genotypes, presence of superantigen prophage-associated virulence genes and so! genes. Antibiotic sensitivity tests were conducted on 24 GAS and SNA throat culture isolates using the BSAC disc diffusison method. Fourteen serum cytokine and chemokine concentrations including interleukin-Iβ (IL-lβ), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-7 (IL-7), interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-9 (IL-9), interleukin-10 0 (IL-I0), interleukin-12p70 (IL-12p70), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), interferon gamma (IFN- γ), chemokines monocyte chemotactic protein-I (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein-I a (MIP-1 a), macrophage inflammatory protein-I P (MIP-I P), human interferon inducable protein-I 0 (IP-IO) and regulated upon activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) protein levels from children with ARF and RRF were analyzed by the BD F ACS Array Bioanalyzer using FCAP Array Software. Results: The prevalence of RHD was 36.5/1000 school children which is one of the highest reported among school echo cardiography surveys in the world. RHD had a high preponderance in 10-16 years old students. 49.8% had mitral regurgitation (MR) lesions, 26.6% had MR with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and 17.8% with combined MR and aortic regurgitation (AR) lesions. RI--ID was diagnosed in more than one family member in 53 (24.2%) of the children. A high prevalence of GAS pharyngotonsillitis (41.5%) was noticed in children of 11 - 15 years of age. A red erythematous uvula and petechie on the soft palate were observed significantly more commoinlyin GAS pharyngotonsillitis. Group B (GBS), Group C (GCS) and Group Gβ haemolytic streptococci (GGS) were isolated from pharyngotonsillitis in 4.3% patients with history of ARF/RHD. The most frequent GAS isolates among ARF and RI-ID patients with pharyngotonsillitis were emm87, emm12, emm28 and emm5. This is the first report of emm87 and emm28 genotypes to be potentially rheumatogenic. The 11 emm87 GAS isolates shared a common PFGE pattern and profile of five exotoxin prophage genes spec, spdl, sdn, sUC and silD with the sof 87 sequence. emm12 and emm28 GAS strains were positive for gene sof , spec and spd1. This is the first report to describe the pattern of exotoxin prophage genes of spec, spd1, sdn, silC and silD among emm87,-emm12, emm28 and emm5 GAS and SNA (GBS, GCS and GGS) isolates with history of ARF and RHD. The genotypic characteristics of GBS, GCS and GGS isolates confirmed seven new emm sequence types first detected among children with acute pharyngotonsillitis. GAS and SNA isolates were susceptible to the β-lactam antimicrobials, penicillin and amoxicillin. Erythromycin resistance was detected in so! positive emm 12 and emm28 in 50% and 33% of isolates respectively. Chemokine MCP-l was significantly correlated with cytokines, IL-lβ, IL-6, IL-l0, IL- 12p70, TNF-α, IFN-γ and RANTES in patients with RRF. This suggests that MCP-l could serve as a potential inflammatorybiomarker for patients with RRF having underlying RHD. MIP-1~ had significant correlations with IL-8, IL-lO, IL-12p70, IP- 10, TNF-α and IFN-γ in patients with ARF. MIP-l~ may serve as a potential inflammatory biomarker in patients with ARF without RHD. Conclusions: The high prevalence of RHD is an alarming public health problem in Yemen. Urgent screening surveys and a preventive RHD prophylactic program with appropriate management of GAS pharyngotonsillitis are required. Future studies are needed to confirm the rheumatogenic GAS and SNA strains with their exotoxin prohage genes and the role of the chemokines and cytokines as biomarkers for ARF within the complex network of auto immune reactions in RF/RHD. This study hopes to provide a further small step in elucidating the pathogenesis of this complex immunological disease.

Abstract:
Background: Fever is often the initial feature of infectious diseases, which remains a major cause of morbidity and an important cause of mortality in children in the UK, and is one of the most common reasons for children to be taken to a general practitioner. Febrile illness therefore places a considerable burden on children, their families and health care services. The initial disease identification and diagnostic challenge starts at home, with parents and carers differentiating children with suspected serious illness from the vast majority who have self-limiting or minor infections. This thesis aims to understand caregivers’ knowledge, beliefs and actions in the existence of a fever in comparison with NICE guideline advice, and suggests some recommendations to improve their knowledge and management of fever. Method: Four studies were conducted for this thesis. First, a systematic review of 47 studies, including 20,427 participants, was used to understand parents’ knowledge regarding interpretation of temperature measurements, actions to manage a fever, and their beliefs. Second, two focus group interviews in primary care, with 9 parents, were used to explore parental views and beliefs on the management of fever and temperature measurement. Third, a thermometer survey, with 123 thermometers, was used to assess the consistency of advice from information contained in commercially available thermometers, with respect to evidence-based guidelines for feverish illness in children. Fourth, a questionnaire survey, in primary care, with 309 participants, was used to find out carer knowledge of temperature measurement and fever management in children 5 years or younger. Results: Carer knowledge about normal body temperature and fever in children was poor: mild fever was misclassified by many as high. Understanding of what actually constitutes fever ranged widely; carers actively reduced mild fever with antipyretics, used non-recommended methods, and most learned to use a thermometer from its instructions. Most parents did not know what a fever was and believed that it was a harmful condition that may be linked to a more serious disease. Parents wanted to be provided with specific and practical information on the identification of fever and its management. Most of the thermometer information did not include guidance on fever management or thermometer use, did not take into account parental and carer interpretation of fever and disease, however, incorporated unnecessary referrals into health services. Thermometer cost had no influence on the quality of the information provided. Conclusions: The research presented in this thesis suggests that caregivers often lack basic knowledge on temperature measurement and fever care. The study proposes that a simple NICE guideline based educational intervention may help them to correctly take a temperature measurement while assessing other signs of illness, and allow them to provide appropriate management methods at home, and more importantly, seek further referral where necessary. This may help towards decreasing unnecessary attendances in primary and secondary care.

Abstract:
In this Insight Note, we report results of a phone survey that the RISE Tanzania Research team conducted with 2,240 parents (or alternate primary care-givers) of primary school children following the school closures in Tanzania. After the first case of COVID-19 was confirmed in Tanzania on 16 March 2020, the government ordered all primary schools closed the following day. Schools remained closed until 29 June 2020. Policymakers and other education stakeholders were concerned that the closures would lead to significant learning loss if children did not receive educational support or engagement at home. To help stem learning loss, the government promoted radio, TV, and internet-based learning content to parents of school-age children. The primary aims of the survey were to understand how children and families responded to the school closures, the education related activities they engaged in, and their strategies to send children back to school. The survey also measures households’ engagement with remote learning content over the period of school closures. We supplement the findings of the parent survey with insights from interviews with Ward Education Officers about their activities during the school closures. The survey sample is comprised of primary care-givers (in most cases, parents) of students enrolled in Grades 3 and 4 during the 2020 school year. The survey builds on an existing panel of students assessed in 2019 and 2020 in a nationally representative sample of schools.4 The parent surveys were conducted using Computer Assisted Telephonic Interviewing (CATI) over a two-week period in early September 2020, roughly two months after the re-opening of primary schools. We report the following key findings from this survey: *Almost all (more than 99 percent) of children in our sample were back in school two months after schools re-opened. The vast majority of parents believed it was either safe or extremely safe for their children to return to school. *Only 6 percent of households reported that their children listened to radio lessons during the school closures; and a similar fraction (5.5 percent) tuned into TV lessons over the same period. Less than 1 percent of those surveyed accessed educational programmes on the internet. Households with access to radio or TV reported higher usage. *Approximately 1 in 3 (36 percent) children worked on the family farm during the closures, with most children working either 2 or 3 days a week. Male children were 6.2 percentage points likelier to work on the family farm than female children. *Households have limited access to education materials for their child. While more than 9 out of 10 households have an exercise book, far fewer had access to textbooks (35 percent) or own reading books (31 percent). *One in four parents (24 percent) read a book to their child in the last week.

Abstract:
In the decade after the Civil Rights Act of 1964, African Americans made historic gains in accessing employment opportunities in racially integrated workplaces in U.S. business firms and government agencies. In the previous working papers in this series, we have shown that in the 1960s and 1970s, Blacks without college degrees were gaining access to the American middle class by moving into well-paid unionized jobs in capital-intensive mass production industries. At that time, major U.S. companies paid these blue-collar workers middle-class wages, offered stable employment, and provided employees with health and retirement benefits. Of particular importance to Blacks was the opening up to them of unionized semiskilled operative and skilled craft jobs, for which in a number of industries, and particularly those in the automobile and electronic manufacturing sectors, there was strong demand. In addition, by the end of the 1970s, buoyed by affirmative action and the growth of public-service employment, Blacks were experiencing upward mobility through employment in government agencies at local, state, and federal levels as well as in civil-society organizations, largely funded by government, to operate social and community development programs aimed at urban areas where Blacks lived. By the end of the 1970s, there was an emergent blue-collar Black middle class in the United States. Most of these workers had no more than high-school educations but had sufficient earnings and benefits to provide their families with economic security, including realistic expectations that their children would have the opportunity to move up the economic ladder to join the ranks of the college-educated white-collar middle class. That is what had happened for whites in the post-World War II decades, and given the momentum provided by the dominant position of the United States in global manufacturing and the nation’s equal employment opportunity legislation, there was every reason to believe that Blacks would experience intergenerational upward mobility along a similar education-and-employment career path. That did not happen. Overall, the 1980s and 1990s were decades of economic growth in the United States. For the emerging blue-collar Black middle class, however, the experience was of job loss, economic insecurity, and downward mobility. As the twentieth century ended and the twenty-first century began, moreover, it became apparent that this downward spiral was not confined to Blacks. Whites with only high-school educations also saw their blue-collar employment opportunities disappear, accompanied by lower wages, fewer benefits, and less security for those who continued to find employment in these jobs. The distress experienced by white Americans with the decline of the blue-collar middle class follows the downward trajectory that has adversely affected the socioeconomic positions of the much more vulnerable blue-collar Black middle class from the early 1980s. In this paper, we document when, how, and why the unmaking of the blue-collar Black middle class occurred and intergenerational upward mobility of Blacks to the college-educated middle class was stifled. We focus on blue-collar layoffs and manufacturing-plant closings in an important sector for Black employment, the automobile industry from the early 1980s. We then document the adverse impact on Blacks that has occurred in government-sector employment in a financialized economy in which the dominant ideology is that concentration of income among the richest households promotes productive investment, with government spending only impeding that objective. Reduction of taxes primarily on the wealthy and the corporate sector, the ascendancy of political and economic beliefs that celebrate the efficiency and dynamism of “free market” business enterprise, and the denigration of the idea that government can solve social problems all combined to shrink government budgets, diminish regulatory enforcement, and scuttle initiatives that previously provided greater opportunity for African Americans in the government and civil-society sectors.
