<strong>Abstract</strong> In India, an education in commerce opens doors to professional growth, successful entrepreneurship, and economic empowerment. However, socially disadvantaged groups including those from Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), the Other Backward Classes (OBC), religious minorities, economically weakened sections (EWS), and women from marginalized backgrounds continue to face unequal access to this stream.

Abstract:
Mentoring relationships can be defined as an interaction between a less experienced individual, called a mentee or protégé, and a more experienced individual known as a mentor. The relationship that the mentee and the mentor establish is one that provides influential and emotional support. Research suggests that mentoring relationships have a positive effect on children in group homes. Although children in group homes may not have strong support from their biological families or kin, they often count on the undivided support from their counselors.

The effects are exacerbated when members of these groups have more than one marginalized identity.

Abstract:
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recognizes several groups of farmers who have been historically underserved by USDA and operates several programs and policies targeting these groups. Yet, there is limited information about the current financial health of the farms these producers operate, their credit and agricultural program use, which inhibits the measurement of progress toward more equitable outcomes. This report provides an overview of the financial characteristics of the farms operated by socially disadvantaged (individuals identifying as Black or African American, American Indi

Abstract:
The presence of displaced populations generally has positive or neutral economic impacts on host communities but can negatively affect health, education, environment, and security. Effects vary, creating 'winners' and 'losers' among host community segments, often harming disadvantaged groups like women. Labour markets experience mixed impacts, with job competition balanced by increased demand. Prices may rise or fall, while business growth often benefits. Environmental pressures and health system demands typically increase, with security impacts remaining mixed and socially perceived. Social c

Abstract:
The introduction of ride-hailing in cities of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) remains a relatively new topic in regional research and a contentious issue in local policy and practice. Evidence regarding users and how do they differ from non-users is scarce, and there is little documented evidence about how user preferences and perceptions may influence the uptake of ride-hailing. This paper uses primary data from a survey collected from users and non-users of ride-hailing in Bogotá during 2019 to develop a Latent Class Analysis Model (LCA) to identify clusters of users and non-users of r

Abstract:
Socioeconomically disadvantaged students (i.e. those whose scores on a constructed measure of social and cultural capital are below a specified cut-off, usually the 25th percentile) have been found to be more likely to drop out of school, repeat a grade, achieve lower levels at senior secondary school, and score lower on tests such as the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). Despite this association between socioeconomic disadvantage and poorer outcomes related to education, a percentage of students who come from disadvantaged backgrounds enjoy success at school.

Abstract:
It is widely understood that the ultimate goal of eliminating material deprivation through broadly shared economic development is giving people the means to lead lives they have reason to value, as formulated in Amartya Sen’s capability approach. However, in ndia, it is critical to keep in mind when evaluating progress in poverty reduction that, for historically disadvantaged groups, economic disadvantage is compounded by the persistence of various forms of derogatory treatment based on their caste identity. It is undeniable that hierarchical elements rooted in the ritual origins of caste cont

Abstract:
This study investigates attitudes to Irish Travellers and Roma in Ireland. Travellers are an Irish ethnic group. The Roma community is diverse in terms of linguistic and national backgrounds: many Roma came to live in Ireland in the past 30 years though some were born here. While they are distinct ethnic groups, Travellers and Roma are both marginalised in Irish society: experiencing discrimination and socio-economic disadvantage. Understanding the attitudes of the general population towards Travellers and Roma is important to assess the opportunities and barriers to their social inclusion. Th

Abstract:
People with disabilities seem to experience hardship in life and other disadvantages. Such difficulty seems to be related to the fact that disabled people tend to lack many essential elements in life, which could stem from inadequate, inefficient, and ineffective welfare. Also related is the general public that tends to exhibit little or no concern about the disability issue. As such, three groups of people are identified to be associated with the disability issue – people with disabilities, the State offering the disability welfare, and the general public sharing social resources with disable

Abstract:
According to conventional wisdom, health and education are important factors for economic and social development: they improve productivity and income distribution, and the poor gain the most. Nonetheless, in many regions of the world not all members of society receive these services equally. To a large extent, women are left out of health and education systems; as a consequence, they constitute an economically and socially disadvantaged group. This article analyzes the gender gaps within health and education in six regions of the developing world: Sub-Saharan Africa; South Asia; East and Sout

Abstract:
This Rapid Evidence Summary aimed to identify barriers and enablers to embedding smoking cessation support into the routine work of community service organisations (CSOs), a setting which provides access to priority and disadvantaged groups. The authors also looked more broadly at barriers and enablers to supporting provision of preventive care targeting key chronic diseases in order to draw relevant lessons from these. The findings indicate that many factors influence the integration of smoking cessation support into CSOs and that understanding these and developing multi-strategic approaches

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed long-standing social inequalities and vulnerabilities, with the most disadvantaged and marginalised groups bearing the greatest health, social, and economic burdens. Beyond documenting these vulnerabilities, there is a need to mitigate them and support the resilience of marginalised communities. ‘Community resilience’ can bolster community capacity to cope with the pressures of various shocks; this brief explores how its concepts can be applied to epidemics. It reviews the grey and academic literature on different approaches to community resilience. It covers
