Abstract:
Early exposure to poverty may have profound and enduring impacts on developmental trajectories over the lifespan. This study investigated potential links between childhood socioeconomic position, recent economic change, and temporal discounting in a large international cohort (N = 12,951 adults from 61 countries). Temporal discounting refers to the tendency to prefer smaller immediate rewards over larger rewards delivered after a delay, and connects to consequential outcomes including academic achievement, occupational success, and risk-taking behaviors. Consistent with multiple theories about the impacts of stress exposure, individuals who reported lower socioeconomic positions in childhood exhibited greater temporal discounting in adulthood compared to peers who did not. Furthermore, an interaction emerged between childhood socioeconomic position and recent economic change, such that the steepest temporal discounting was found among those from lower childhood socioeconomic positions who also recently experienced negative economic change as a result of the COVID pandemic. These associations remained significant even when accounting for potentially confounding factors like education level and current employment. Findings provide new evidence that childhood socioeconomic position relates to greater temporal discounting and steeper devaluation of future rewards later in adulthood, particularly in response to contemporaneous economic change. This suggests childhood socioeconomic position may have longer-term impacts on developmental trajectories. Speculatively, childhood socioeconomic position may shape adult behavior through increased life stress, diminished access to resources, and lower perceived trust and reliability in social systems. These findings underscore the long-term implications of socioeconomic gaps, cycles of disadvantage and economic marginalization.

Abstract:
Background. It is well known that socioeconomic indicators, such as income and education, predict both stroke incidence and stroke mortality. This means that persons in lower socioeconomic positions are less likely to survive their stroke, and there will be a selective survival in the group discharged from hospital after their first stroke.Question. Does socioeconomic position continue to predict mortality, stroke specific, or from other causes, among patients surviving their first stroke in spite of this selective survival?Methods. All persons in Sweden aged 40–59 years who were discharged after a first hospitalization for stroke in 1996–2000 were included (n= 10,487), then followed up until the end of the fourth calendar year after discharge. Data were analysed with Cox regressions controlling for age, sex, and stroke type.Results. Persons with high socioeconomic position, measured by education and income, have lower mortality than those of low position. Education was not significant when adjusted for income, however. The risk of dying was similar for stroke-specific mortality and all-cause mortality, for those with cerebral infarction as well as for all patients.Conclusions. Socioeconomic position predicted stroke-specific mortality also in the selective group of persons who survived their first stroke.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between mental illness and socioeconomic factors such as education, age and gender among drug users. Descriptive and ANOVA analysis were performed to 68 structured interviews (Addiction Severity Index basic). Analysis addressed associations between drug usage and level of education, age and gender. Results showed gender differences in self-rated mental health with women drug users rating their mental health lower than men. In addition, there was no association between age, educational level and self-rated mental health. Further studies are warranted to investigate mental health among drug users.

Abstract:
The mechanisms by which life course socioeconomic position (SEP) may influence cardiovascular disease (CVD) are not well explored. Objectives were to investigate the association between cumulative life course SEP and an indicator of subclinical atherosclerosis: ankle-brachial index (ABI). Participants (n=1454) were from the Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort. Cumulative SEP was calculated by summing scores for childhood SEP (father's education), early adulthood SEP (own education), and active professional life SEP (own occupation). ABI was dichotomized as low (≤1.1) and normal (>1.1 to 1.4). In logistic regression analyses, cumulative SEP was associated with low ABI in men (odds ratio [OR]=2.09, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.24,3.51 for low vs. high cumulative SEP score) but not in women (OR=0.94, 95% CI: 0.63,1.38), after adjustment for age and CVD risk markers. This effect was largely explained by the association of own education with low ABI in men and not in women. Father's education and own occupation were not significantly associated with low ABI in men or women. In conclusion, while cumulative SEP was inversely associated with ABI in men, this effect was primarily due to own education.<br>Les mécanismes par lesquels la situation socio-économique (SSE) pourrait influencer les maladies cardiovasculaires (MCV) ne sont pas bien définis. Les objectifs de cette étude sont d'examiner la relation entre la SSE au cours d'une vie et l'athérosclérose sous-clinique, telle que mesurée par le "Indice de Pression Cheville Brachial ABPI", aussi connu sous le nom de "index ABPI''. Les participants (n=1454) provenaient de l'étude de cohortes Framingham Heart Study Offspring. La SSE cumulative a été calculée en additionnant les résultats pour la SSE durant l'enfance (scolarité du père), la SSE durant la period le jeune et l'adolescence (sa propre scolarité) et la SSE durant la vie professionnelle active (sa propre profession). L'index ABPI a été divisé en deux fractions, notamment la fraction basse (≤1.1) et normale (>1.1 à 1.4). Dans des analyses de régression logistique, la SSE cumulative a été associée à un index ABPI bas pour les hommes, mais pas pour les femmes, après l'ajustement pour le sexe et pour les facteurs risque de MCV. Ce résultat s'explique largement par l'association entre sa propre scolarité et un index ABPI bas dans le cas des hommes, mais pas dans les cas des femmes. Il n'y a pas eu d'association significative entre scolaritè du père ou sa propre profession et un index ABPI bas ni pour les hommes, ni pour les femmes. On peut donc conclure que si la SSE cumulative a été inversement proportionnelle à l'index ABPI pour les hommes, cela est principalement dû à sa propre scolarité.

Abstract:
Early-life socioeconomic position (SEP) contributes to disease risk in adults, however, there is mixed evidence for the role of early-life SEP in adult depression. Using logistic regression analysis we explore whether parents' education influences the risk for major depressive episode (MDE) independent of other early-life and adult risk factors. Data are from the first seven waves of the Canadian National Population Health Survey (1994/95 to 2006/07), and include 1,267 participants that were aged 12 to 24 at wave one. Father's education has no effect. Respondents of mothers with less than secondary school are at increased risk for MDE (OR: 2.04, 95% CI: 1.25, 3.32) compared to respondents of more educated mothers. Adjusting for the respondent's adverse childhood experiences, SEP, psychosocial factors, and physical health does not reduce the impact of maternal education. These results suggest that maternal education may play a significant role in the aetiology of adult depression.<br>Les résultats concernant le rôle de la position socioéconomique d'origine sur la dépression à l'âge adulte sont contradictoires. A l'aide de modèles de régression logistique, nous avons évalué l'impact du niveau d'étude des parents sur les épisodes dépressifs majeurs (EDM). Les données proviennent des sept premières vagues de l'Enquête nationale sur la santé de la population (1994/95 à 2006/07). Nous avons retenu 1,267 participants âgés de 12 à 24 ans à l'inclusion. Le niveau d'étude du père n'avait pas d'effet. Le risque de déclarer un EDM était plus élevé chez les répondants dont la mère avait un faible niveau d'étude (OR: 2.04, IC 95%: 1.25, 3.32). L'impact du niveau d'éducation de la mère n'était pas diminué après ajustement sur les expériences difficiles durant l'enfance, la position socioéconomique, les facteurs psychosociaux et l'état de santé physique. Ces résultats suggèrent que le niveau d'étude de la mère joue un rôle important dans l'étiologie de la dépression à l'âge adulte.

Abstract:
Background: The National Health Service (NHS) aims to achieve maximum health gains with its limited resources, while also ensuring that it provides services according to need, irrespective of factors such as socioeconomic position (SEP). Aim: The aim of this thesis is to explore the relationships between SEP and various aspects of the NHS orthodontic service, including need, demand, supply, and outcomes. Methods: Three main data sources were used: two population-based surveys (the 2003 United Kingdom (UK) Children’s Dental Health Survey (CDHS) and the 2008-2009 NHS Dental Epidemiology Programme for England Oral Health Survey (OHS) in the North West) and an administrative data set (containing 2008-2012 North West NHS orthodontic activity data). The data were used to investigate levels of need and willingness to have orthodontic treatment, treatment utilisation, assessment procedures, and treatment outcomes, and the costs associated with the service. Subsequently, regression analyses were carried out to explore the associations between SEP and the various orthodontic variables. Results: Over a third of 12-year-olds had normative need for orthodontic treatment and over half had patient-defined need. Those in the most deprived groups in the North West tended to have lower levels of treatment compared to those in the least deprived group (despite the fact that normative need was not shown to vary by SEP), and they were more likely to discontinue treatment and have residual post-treatment need (RPTN). There was a great deal of variation among practices/orthodontic clinicians in terms of the percentages of patients with repeated assessments, treatment discontinuations, and RPTN. The major sources of potential inefficiency costs in the NHS orthodontic service in the North West are treatments that result in discontinuations (which cost £2.4 million per year), RPTN (which cost £1.8 million per year), and unreported treatment outcomes (which cost £13.0 million per year). Discussion: The NHS is not delivering orthodontic care equitably between SEP groups in the North West, as those from more deprived groups are more likely to fail to receive treatment, and to have poor outcomes if they do receive treatment. In addition, the wide range of process and outcome indicators between practices/orthodontic clinicians raises issues about quality of the overall service. In particular, treatment outcomes are frequently unreported, which highlights the need to improve the outcome monitoring systems in the NHS orthodontic service.

Abstract:
Background: In Russia, the educational gradient in mortality increased during the 1990s. However, there have been few comparisons of gradients using different socioeconomic indicators. Aims: These were to study the association of different measures of socioeconomic position with each other and with health, together with possible explanations. Data: The Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey is a large, nationally representative panel study. Data from 7 rounds (1994-2001) were used to study 11,482 adults aged over 18. Social and economic measures, self-rated health and deaths (reported by a household member) were recorded. Methods: Correlations between income, education, occupation and subjective social status were measured. Their associations with self-rated health and mortality were studied using logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards analysis respectively, including multivariate analyses. Results: Education and occupation were strongly correlated (R=0.52). Both were weakly associated with income (R=0.08 and 0.13 respectively). Education (3 categories) was strongly protective against mortality 0.66 (0.59-0.74) men, 0.66 (0.59-0.74) women , and education explained the weaker associations between income, occupation and mortality. Although alcohol consumption and smoking predicted mortality, they did not explain its association with socioeconomic position. Income, occupation and education were all moderately associated with self-rated health. Subjective social status strongly predicted self-rated health, but not mortality. Ownership of consumer goods, satisfaction and optimism predicted self-rated health, but did not fully explain its association with socioeconomic position. Unemployment and insecure employment were associated with health, although inconsistently. Discussion: Income was weakly associated with education and occupation compared to the West. Socioeconomic gradients in self-rated health and mortality were demonstrated, and were not fully explained by alcohol, smoking, material and psychosocial measures. The strong association between education and mortality could perhaps be because it reflects lifetime socioeconomic position. Associations between education, smoking and mortality were comparable to other studies, supporting the reliability of the data.

Abstract:
UA Open Access Publishing Fund<br>Background: Current understanding of tuberculosis (TB) genotype clustering in the US is based on individual risk factors. This study sought to identify whether area-based socioeconomic status (SES) was associated with genotypic clustering among culture-confirmed TB cases. Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was performed on data collected on persons with incident TB in King County, Washington, 2004–2008. Multilevel models were used to identify the relationship between area-level SES at the block group level and clustering utilizing a socioeconomic position index (SEP). Results: Of 519 patients with a known genotyping result and block group, 212 (41%) of isolates clustered genotypically. Analyses suggested an association between lower area-based SES and increased recent TB transmission, particularly among US-born populations. Models in which community characteristics were measured at the block group level demonstrated that lower area-based SEP was positively associated with genotypic clustering after controlling for individual covariates. However, the trend in higher clustering odds with lower SEP index quartile diminished when additional block-group covariates. Conclusions: Results stress the need for TB control interventions that take area-based measures into account, with particular focus on poor neighborhoods. Interventions based on area-based characteristics, such as improving case finding strategies, utilizing location-based screening and addressing social inequalities, could reduce recent rates of transmission.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis aims to describe health inequalities among older people in Britain in the 1980s and 1990s and to assess whether various personal circumstances and experiences contribute towards this variation. Three sources of data are used: the Longitudinal Study; the first Whitehall cohort of male civil servants; and baseline quality of life information from the MRC Trial of the Assessment and Management of Older People in the Community (MRC Study). Housing tenure, car availability, and employment grade are the main socioeconomic measures used, but also social class and income. Findings: People disadvantaged in mid-life socioeconomic circumstances continue to experience increased risks of mortality, insitutionalisation, poor self-reported health and functioning 20-30 years later. Smoking and cardio-respiratory factors in middle age partially accounted for the differentials found in the Whitehall Study. The MRC Study revealed worse prospects for five dimensions of health-related quality of life among people in rented homes compared to owner-occupied ones, even among those who were deemed independent. Symptoms of ill health, and health behaviours accounted for over 40% of the housing tenure differentials in quality of life among these independent people. Being in a deprived or densely-populated area was not as strong a discriminator of quality of life as personal housing-tenure. Finally, people whose socioeconomic circumstances become worse in late middle age have greater risks of poor health outcomes than those who stay advantaged. The findings on benefits of improvements in socioeconomic circumstances are more mixed and complicated by ill health leading to apparent upward socioeconomic mobility. Conclusions: The three studies provide evidence of both long-term implications of socioeconomic position in mid-life and continuing relevance of socioeconomic position in old age. Although personal factors and health symptoms contribute to health inequalities in old age they are also seen as a possible product of socioeconomic position.

Abstract:
Socioeconomic inequalities of adolescent alcohol use are not as consistent as for other health risk behaviours. Thesis hypotheses were that a) alternative familial early socioeconomic position indicators of both immaterial and material resources presented specific associations with several modalities of alcohol consumption; b) associations of immaterial capital typically diluted from early to middle adolescence and material/immaterial influences varied between genders; and c) the socioeconomic context of schools exerted influence on middle adolescent alcohol misuse. Outcome data were collected at age 12, 13 and 15 from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) birth-cohort. Self-reported early alcohol onset, ever/past use, misuse and problem use were investigated in early and mid-adolescence. Socioeconomic position included mother's reported questionnaire-based measures of maternal education, parental social class and disposable household income. School level indicators were retrieved from Annual School Census data linked to ALSPAC. Multiple logistic regressions assessed associations between variables. Sensitivity analyses used multiple imputations. Multilevel models accounted for ALSPAC participants nested within schools. Maternal education was negatively associated with most measures of alcohol investigated, including early onset and use/misuse at both age 13 and 15. Conversely, household income had positive associations with measures of early alcohol use and later measures of alcohol misuse. Girls in more disadavantaged families were at lower risk of alcohol related problems than boys. However, for increasing levels of income and maternal education their risks overtook and matched that of boys, respectively. Non negligible residual variance of alcohol misuse among schools (~ to 3%) was not explained by the school socioeconomic context. Socioeconomic gradients on underage drinking manifest since early alcohol exposure and differ by construct through mid-adolescence. Policies on youth drinking should reflect that material advantage across the socioeconomic spectrum may increase risk of alcohol misuse and problem use, particularly in girls.

Abstract:
We study socioeconomic indicators of female labour force participation in off-farm formal employment in a subsistence agriculture setting in northern Ghana, where a new commercial farm provides a positive demand shock for low-skilled labour. We use a set of quantitative and qualitative data examining determinants of female labour force participation, the social effects arising from it, and the influence on female decision-making power in their households. In line with other micro-studies, we find that education is not a driver of female labour participation in low-skilled jobs. Women from wealthier households and those with young children have a significantly lower probability of starting off-farm work. Polygamy and male dominance reduce women’s labour force participation. Women who earn off-farm income are strengthened in their intra-household decision-making position and can spend more money on themselves.

Abstract:
Population growth can have positive or negative effects on development, depending on the circumstances. The more rapid growth of the working-age population relative to the dependent population provides a demographic dividend for economic growth. However, in many less developed countries, a large population puts pressure on limited resources. A better understanding of the interrelationship between population and development is essential for planning at the national, state and local levels. This book is the first of its kind that provides a comprehensive analysis of the demographic and socioeconomic landscapes of Sabah which can be used as a reference by policymakers, investors, and researchers. It consists of fourteen chapters, addressing a wide range of issues related to population growth, distribution and composition, education, labour force, income, migration, fertility and its proximate determinants (marriage and family planning), and specific target groups – families, women, youth and non-citizens. Data from population censuses, household surveys, vital statistics, service statistics, administrative records, and official documents were used for the analysis.

Abstract:
Socioeconomic position (SEP) refers to the relative place an individual or a social group holds within the structure of society. SEP is determined by a multitude of factors, from individual and household circumstances across the life course to social processes operating at higher levels. Even though a complex construct, it is often operationalized using single person-based indicators and/or subjective measures of an individual’s own perceived position in the social ladder. Furthermore, recognizing that social stratification is geographically defined, area-based measures place a community in the socioeconomic disadvantage continuum and are used to quantify the magnitude of geographically defined social inequalities Data driven approaches have been mostly used to construct socioeconomic deprivation indices, commonly using census-based indicators which reflect the sociodemographical compositions of areas. Increasingly, a wider set of methods are been used to capture features of a community’s environment pertaining to the physical, built and social environment.

Abstract:
The dysfunction of the Tunisian labor market is exacerbated particularly by the segmentation between public and private sector employment. These different segments differ in terms of returns to human capital, social protection and mobility, affecting career development and the wage structure in the economy. In this chapter, we present the patterns of wage distribution in Tunisia across important socioeconomic groups and a detailed analysis of the wage gap between public and private sectors. Our results show particularly that while in the bottom sector of the wage distribution the positive wage gap between public and private sectors is mainly attributable to the composition or characteristics of workers, the wage gap in the upper sector of the distribution is due to returns to characteristics effect. The public-sector wage premium explains the strong preference in public positions.

Abstract:
This chapter provides an overview of research on the behavioral dimension of low socioeconomic status and a set of theoretical and empirical principles for better understanding it. In particular, the chapter focuses on those behaviors that are claimed to exacerbate a situation of poverty or deprivation, such as poor academic performance, myopic financial decisions, early child-bearing, consumption of unhealthy foods, and engaging in unhealthy lifestyle habits. Though such behavioral patterns have been used to make claims as to the defective values or motives of the poor, the chapter argues that studying them rigorously, aided by the experimental method, leads to a more nuanced and accurate picture, in which psychology is systematically shaped by socioeconomic position. After reviewing evidence from education, public health, and behavioral economics concerning the behavioral dimension of low socioeconomic status, the chapter suggests an organizing set of mechanisms that might structure a comprehensive explanatory account of it.

Abstract:
AbstractThe chapters in this Handbook provide evidence of the plurality of theories, models, methods, and perspectives relevant to positive education. Chapters highlight the diverse ways in which positive education is conceptualized and implemented, complexities inherent to school environments, and the need to rigorously study the impact of activities. Chapters describe core ingredients of positive education, including basic psychological needs, mindset, character strengths, coping skills, empathy, engagement, gratitude, social relationships, emotions, kindness, meaning and purpose, mindfulness, self-efficacy, self-regulation, and wellbeing literacy. These ingredients primarily emphasize the skills and attributes of the person. Yet other chapters remind us of the importance of the social and environmental context, including the impact that trauma, disadvantage, culture, socioeconomic pressures, and broader systemic pressures have. Together, the chapters speak to both the possibilities and challenges of what positive education might become.

Abstract:
AbstractBrussels’ urban and suburban landscape has changed considerably since the 1980s. The consolidation of socioeconomic fractures inside the city, a reinforcement of long-lasting disparities between the city and its prosperous hinterland, as well as the increasing diversification of migration flows—both high- and low-skilled—contributed to these disparities. Recent evolutions of these patterns, however, have not been investigated yet and therefore remain unknown. Besides, the extent to which segregation is primarily related to economic inequalities and to migration flows—or a combination/interaction between the two—so far has not been studied. This chapter offers a detailed overview of the socio-spatial disparities in the Brussels Functional Urban Area. Our analyses relied on fine-grained spatial data, at the level of statistical sections and of individualised neighbourhoods built around 100 m x 100 m grids. We analysed socioeconomic segregation measures and patterns, as well as their evolution between 2001 and 2011. Socioeconomic groups were defined based on individuals’ position with respect to national income deciles. In line with previous research, our results show very marked patterns of socioeconomic segregation in and around Brussels operating both at a larger regional scale and at the local level.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter aims to show the phenomenon of forest fires from socioeconomic aspects to present the readers with a new perspective. We start from the assumption that fire in forest ecosystems has a positive and negative impact, which can be represented by an appropriate valuation system. The basis for such an assumption was found in the paradox of fire (in natural ecosystems), which has had human attention from the very beginning of the human population. From early views on social dependence on fire to a modern perspective, that fire is a catastrophic phenomenon in nature. Today, it can be assumed that our valuation system is set at a point where fire harms nature. This tacit acceptance has become commonplace in fire reporting where the importance of fire in removing biomass especially coniferous stands, maintaining open spaces for grazing and hunting, reducing catastrophic wildfires, in carbon balance and water regulation or scientific knowledge is almost completely omitted. Contemporary streams in nature and forest science and practice point out that fire is an ecosystem service providing many services with trade-offs between fire prevention and the provision of ecosystem services. Here, we explain why fire in natural ecosystems become relevant for science after the eighties. We present that the extent of fire damage is more than 0.012% of Worlds GDP in this decade. Major socioeconomic driving factors of forest fires are presented too. The chapter presents examples of ecosystem services and economic impacts provided by wildfires.

Abstract:
AbstractChai karak is a popular tea beverage in in the UAE and the other Arab Gulf states that is widely consumed across class and ethnic lines, particularly among wealthy UAE citizens and the poorer South Asian manual labourers who make up a large proportion of the country’s population—also often thought of as the group that brought the beverage to the UAE. This study primarily aims to understand the effects of Emirati claims of ownership over chai karak in terms of its political and socioeconomic impact. It does this through an analysis of analogous case studies and a series of interviews with chai karak vendors in the UAE. This methodology explored the item’s position with regard to three main research areas: the relationships produced by claims of its ownership, their impact on the political and socioeconomic status of South Asians in the cafeteria industry, and what the ensuant contestations show about the UAE’s wider social relations. The study concludes that the discourse of ownership produced around chai karak resembles those produced as a result of colonial relationships. In this UAE, this creates a form of consent-based hegemony that acts alongside other mechanisms of maintaining the privilege of citizens of the country.

Full text
Abstract:
This work examines any ethnic gaps between self-identified ethnic minorities and the majority of the population across Western European regions, taking into consideration the variations within native population and ethnic minorities due to family background (i.e., parents' education and occupation). The analysis shows that self-identified ethnic minorities and national majorities have significantly different socioeconomic levels; the observed ethnic gaps cannot be fully explained by individual educational attainment, family history, or challenges related to migration. Estimates of multilevel models have been made, with the individual outcome in terms of socioeconomic position and education as the dependent variable. Micro data from the European Social Survey are used in this investigation. The findings show that overestimating any ethnic gaps may result from ignoring social origins: parents with high socioeconomic status may better target their children in their decision-making, which may imply further disadvantages for ethnic minorities, particularly for the offspring of migrants who typically have low social origins. The findings also highlight how little intergenerational mobility there is in Europe.

Одна из главных целей работы была сравнить новые субъекты с другими субъектами Дальневосточного федерального округа по структуре экономики и социальноэкономическому положению и его динамики. Оба региона как было установлено имеют схожие структуры экономики с приграничными субъектами юга Дальнего Востока.

Это было подсчитано на примере одного из коэффициентов сравнения, который показывает степень социальноэкономического развития между субъектами федерального округа. Также на примере этого коэффициента выявлено, что рассматриваемые регионы также уступают значительной части других регионов по динамике социальноэкономических показателей. Оба региона имеют небольшую долю в социально экономических показателях округа, прежде всего за счет слабого развития регионов.

One of the main goals of the work was to compare new subjects with other subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District in terms of the economic structure, a socioeconomic situation, and its dynamics. Both regions were found to have similar economic structures with the border regions of the south of the Far East. They have rather low socioeconomic indicators relatively to the overwhelming majority of the subjects of the Russian Federation, and especially among the subjects of the Far Eastern region, being together with the Jewish Autonomous Region among the outsiders. This was calculated by example of one of the comparison coefficients, which shows the degree of socioeconomic development between the subjects of the Federal district. Besides, by example of this coefficient, it was revealed that the regions under consideration conceded a significant part of other regions in the dynamics of socioeconomic indicators. Both regions have a small share in the socioeconomic indicators of the district, primarily because of weak development of the regions. This causes a decrease in these indicators per 1 person in the district. A number of economic features and geographical factors typical of a causal relationship of a low socioeconomic status and development of the Republic of Buryatia and the TransBaikal Territory relatively to other subjects of the Federal district were identified. By example of the structure of regional economy, it is indicated that, the regions with the highest share of industry have the highest socioeconomic indicators at the expense of mining. A number of factors are indicated that affect or should have a positive effect on the development of new subjects in future as part of a new federal district. The changes in socioeconomic indicators for the Far Eastern Federal District that occurred as a result of the change in its borders have been calculated.

Abstract:
Three survey experiments examined the effect of cues describing a target’s socioeconomic status (SES) on participants’ judgements after the target transgressed the social norm of punctuality. Hypotheses were formulated based on Fiske’s (2018) stereotype content model. In Study 1 (N = 243) participants were randomly assigned to read a vignette describing a gender ambiguous student as low-SES (versus high-SES) arriving late to an exam and then judged the tardy student. Judges showed more leniency when the student was described as low-SES than high-SES. In Study 2 (N = 40), the target was a male job applicant arriving late to an interview. Hiring intentions were significantly higher for the low SES candidate. Study 3 (N = 69) described a gender-neutral job applicant and specified the job position status as managerial while exploring two punctuality-related covariates: participants’ own SES and ADHD symptoms. The same direction of bias was observed: A main effect of experimental condition in favor of the low SES applicant. In addition, we found a significant role of ADHD scores on hiring intentions and likability indicating overall higher scores from participants with more ADHD symptoms. Overall findings supported Weiner and Laurent’s (2021) wealth-based moral judgement gap.

Full text
Abstract:
This document analyzes differences in the academic achievement of Latin American students based on the socioeconomic status of their families. Using the database from the Second Regional Comparative and Explanatory Study (SERCE) conducted in 2006, a significant positive relationship was confirmed between the socioeconomic status of students and SERCE results, both region-wide and for each participating country. If this relationship is broken down into two different levels (within the schools and between the schools), variations in socioeconomic status explain a significant part of the variability in test scores between the schools and, to a lesser degree, the variability within the schools. The result is a high level of socioeconomic segregation between the schools, which, in turn, accentuates the relationship between student socioeconomic status and test results. The poorest students are punished first by their socioeconomic status and then again by studying in schools attended chiefly by children of poor families, thus deepening the inequity in school achievement. Findings suggest several courses of action for public policy, tailored to each country¿s profiles of educational equity.

Abstract:
This evaluation conducted a comprehensive analysis of the long-term socioeconomic impact on the resettled population in the context of the Porce II Hydroelectric Project in Antioquia, Colombia. The evaluation's results highlight the formalization of landholdings, as well as quality improvements in housing and access to public and social services in the resettlement. Ethnographic workshops documented the use and enjoyment of the homes and common areas. There were also positive trends in terms of the educational levels in the resettlement. Results showed the resettled families' ability to adapt and coexist with groups outside their family networks. The economic dimension was the greatest challenge for a resettlement endeavor seeking to diversify the population's economic structure, which had engaged almost exclusively in mining and, to a lesser extent, in agriculture and cattle farming. The evaluation corroborated the shift in economic focus and the improvement of the resettled population's ability to engage in other activities. While the evaluation showed significant improvements in net worth and family spending, impact on income has not been significant. This evaluation provides conceptual and methodological elements that embody best practices and objectively contribute to the debate on the issue of population displacement as a consequence of large infrastructure projects.

Abstract:
For over thirty years, Chile has been implementing reforms and policies aimed at improving educational efficiency, quality and equity. The latter has been of particular interest over the last decade. The quality and quantity of data available in Chile allows us to explore the evolution of learning gaps among students according to their socioeconomic background over increasingly longer periods of time. The findings of this study indicate positive changes in the distribution of learning achievement according to student socioeconomic level or, in other words, educational equity. However, the magnitude of these changes varies according to grade level and subject. Changes have been more notable in the fourth grade and in language than in the eighth grade and in math, and they have been minimal in the tenth grade. Furthermore, as a methodological contribution to studies on educational equity, we make use of a variety of tools in order to explore their consistency. Therefore, this document presents, in their respective sections: a) the results of national achievement tests from the past years and an analysis of trends in socioeconomic and academic segregation in schools; b) changes in the relationship of socioeconomic status to academic achievement between and within schools; and c) the evolution in learning gaps between students from different socioeconomic backgrounds.

Abstract:
Using the Latinobarómetro survey, this paper examines Latin Americans perceptions of the IDB, the World Bank and the IMF. The study analyzes how peoples knowledge and evaluation of these multilateral organizations are affected by the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the respondents, the country where they live, the financial position of the IDB in that country, macroeconomic conditions and interviewees political orientation and attitudes towards democracy and free markets. The results indicate both good and bad news for the IDB. Negatively, it is the least-known of the three international organizations; but positively, it is the best rated among those familiar with them. Demographic variables and socioeconomic levels are important determinants of who knows these organizations. In terms of grading, the demographic characteristics of the respondent seem to have no impact. Conversely, economic status, macroeconomic conditions (to some extent), and the political orientation of the respondent are significant determinants of peoples evaluation.

Full text
Abstract:
In 2024 elections in Belgium were concurrently held for the European, federal and regional levels. For that reason, the European elections were clearly second-order elections. As the main opposition parties at the federal level, populist radical parties of the right (Vlaams Belang, VB) and the left (the Workers’ Party of Belgium, PTB–PVDA) approached the 2024 elections in a strong position. They were portrayed as clear favourites in the polls and the media. From 2019 to 2024 they managed to set the agenda on their issues: migration and law and order for the VB, socioeconomic issues and civil liberties and rights for the PTB–PVDA. Both parties came out of the elections with more votes and seats. Part of the reason for this success is that their program matched with voters’ priorities. Their populist, anti-elite rhetoric also permeated public opinion. Yet they were perceived as having underperformed electorally. Moreover, because they were not politically indispensable, they were quickly sidelined. At the European level, the VB and the PTB–PVDA will likely continue directly pushing their respective populist, Eurosceptic and radical agendas. They are also likely to have a real indirect contamination effect through mainstream parties and public opinion integrating part of their programmatic positions and priorities.

Drawing on UNESCO, World Bank, and OECD sources, it underscores the positive correlation between women's HE participation and socio-economic development while addressing barriers they encounter. Case studies from Egypt, Thailand, and Kenya illustrate these impacts regionally. The review concludes by advocating for enhanced HE opportunities for women, recognising gender equality as crucial for sustainable development and highlighting HE's positive contributions to socioeconomic progress.

Abstract:
The conflict in Ukraine has generated a large inflow of refugees into European countries, with more than five million people having fled to neighboring countries. So far, the public response has been generally positive, with large shares of the European population being in favor of the policies implemented to host and support the Ukrainian refugees. In this note we look at the academic literature with the aim to: a) discuss which socioeconomic characteristics of the refugees are typically associated with positive or negative attitudes towards them; and, b) reflect on which policy measures can promote more inclusive and tolerant preferences. The evidence from the literature suggests that negative attitudes towards refugees can be widespread, but less so for those groups that are perceived to be in need of humanitarian help, are culturally closer to host communities, and more likely to contribute to the economies of the host country. Three policy measures to sustain a welcoming climate towards refugees emerge from the relevant literature: facilitate the interactions between host communities and those forcibly displaced; integrate the refugees into the society, including in the labor market; and provide simple, factual information about the refugees and their socioeconomic background.

Abstract:
This study analyzes mobility patterns during the COVID-19 pandemic for eight large Latin American cities. Indicators of mobility by socioeconomic status (SES) are generated by combining georeferenced mobile phone information with granular census data. Before the pandemic, a strong positive association between SES and mobility is documented. With the arrival of the pandemic, in most cases, a negative association between mobility and SES emerges. This new pattern is explained by a notably stronger reduction in mobility by high-SES individuals. A comparison of mobility for SES decile 1 vs decile 10 shows that, on average, the reduction is 75% larger in the case of decile 10. According to estimated lasso models, an indicator of government restrictions provides a parsimonious description of these heterogeneous responses. These estimations point to noticeable similarities in the patterns observed across cities. We also explore how the median distance traveled changed for individuals that travel at least 1 km (the intensive margin). We find that the reduction in mobility in this indicator was larger for high-SES individuals compared to low-SES individuals in six out of eight cities analyzed. The evidence is consistent with asymmetries in the feasibility of working from home and in the ability to smooth consumption under temporary income shocks.
