Abstract:
At the turn of the 20th century, children's play came under new and heightened scrutiny by urban reformers. As conditions in US cities threatened traditional notions of order, reformers sought new ways to direct urban-social development. In this paper I explore playground reform as an institutional response that aimed to produce and promote ideal gender identities in children. Supervised summer playgrounds were established across the United States as a means of drawing children off the street and into a corrective environment. Drawing from literature published by the Playground Association of

This study aimed to evaluate the associations between playground features and utilization. Following a cross-sectional study design, we assessed the features of 38 playgrounds using the Play Space Audit Tool (PSAT). Thereafter, we monitored the playground utilization by children (0–12 y) using a headcount approach during multiple site visits. Generalized Estimating Equations regression models were used to analyze the associations between the PSAT scores and playground utilization. Significant associations were found between the PSAT scores ‘overall’, ‘path’, and ‘play structure’ and playground

As a society we often attribute our actions to our religious beliefs, or level of religiosity, and assume that those who are more religious often do more to help others in need.

The effects of market and policy reforms on poverty and inequality in Latin America have been of considerable concern. The region continues to have relatively great income inequalities. Two different societies with the same income distribution may have different levels of social welfare because they have different degrees of social mobility. To date little attention has been paid to measuring social mobility in the region. Schooling is thought to be a major mechanism through which intergenerational social mobility is affected.
