Abstract:

By the close of the nineteenth century, Hawai‘i had become a newly annexed territory of the United States and was tightly controlled by a cohesive oligarchy ofhaolesugar capitalists. The “enormous concentration of wealth and power” held by the Big Five sugar factors of Honolulu up until statehood was unparalleled elsewhere in the United States (Cooper and Daws 1985: 3–4). In contrast, native Hawai‘ians and immigrants recruited from China, Portugal, Japan, and the Philippines—in successive and overlapping waves—endured the low wages and poor working and living conditions characteristic of other

Low-wage earners have a higher risk of living in a low-income household than the average for wage and salary earners. In the USA poor people of working

Abstract:

Cross-national comparisons can teach lessons about antipoverty policy. While all nations value low poverty, high levels of economic self-reliance and equality of opportunity for younger persons, they differ dramatically in the extent to which they reach these goals. Nations also exhibit differences in the extent to which working age adults mix economic self-reliance (earned incomes), family support and government support to avoid poverty. We begin by reviewing international concepts and measures of poverty. The Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) database contains the information needed to construct

Abstract:

In this article, Stanley Aronowitz argues that "American" ideology contains two elements. First, the United States is believed to confer equality of opportunity on each citizen. Second, unlike other advanced industrial nations, the United States is considered an "open society" that allows and promotes social mobility. In this paradigm, racial minorities and women have the same chances to escape the ranks of the working poor as White men. Aronowitz uses a class-based analysis nested within ethnicity to expose the fallacy of this ideology. Since higher education is most often pointed to as a sou

summary: In 1920, maternal mortality rates in the United States exceeded those of other industrialized nations. To redress this statistic, the federal Children's Bureau set its sights on improving access to prenatal care at a time when 80 percent of American women received none. In 1921, following lobbying by urban, middle-class progressive women working at or in support of the Bureau, the government legislated for prenatal care programs through the Sheppard-Towner Act. To date, historians have focused on how successfully women implemented the act's provisions, paying less attention to whether

The Covid-19 pandemic has greatly impacted frontline workers’ health in 2020. The objective of this commentary is to evaluate some of the challenges faced by undocumented farmworkers in the context of the current global pandemic and possible risk mitigation strategies. Undocumented farmworkers make considerable contributions to the U.S. economy and food production, but they are at an elevated risk for contracting Covid-19. Their risk is compounded by their employment and legal status, as well as their poor working and living conditions which makes it difficult for them to observe Covid-19 prec

Abstract:

The intense working hours of the teams on the front line of COVID-19 resulted in negative results in the quality of sleep and in the mental health of professionals. This integrative review aims to identify evidence about the sleep quality of health professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic and its relationship with mental health. Data collection took place on the VHL and PUBMED portals, in October 2022. Thirteen articles were included, published between 2020 and 2022, all in English. As for the country in which the study was carried out, the following stand out: China (23%), United States of

Abstract:

Recent research has documented negative associations between children’s welfare and mobility and their exposure to neighborhood incarceration. But inequality in such exposure among children in the United States is poorly understood. This study links tract-level census data to administrative data on prison admissions to measure 37.8 million children’s exposure to neighborhood incarceration in 2008, by race/ethnicity and poverty status. The average poor Black or African American child lived in a neighborhood where 1 in 174 working-age adults was admitted to prison annually, more than twice the r

Abstract:

Abstract States adopt minimum wages to improve workers’ economic circumstances and well-being. Many studies, but not all, find evidence of health benefits from higher minimum wages. This study used a rigorous “triple difference” strategy to identify the associations between state minimum wages and adult obesity, body mass index (weight (kg)/height (m)2), hypertension, diabetes, fair or poor health, and serious psychological distress. National Health Interview Survey data (United States, 2008–2015) on adults aged 25–64 years (n = 131,430) were linked to state policies to estimate the prevalence

The September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon generated significant social, economic, and political perturbations. The airline industry has been affected directly, with passenger numbers down and some airlines such as Midway in the United States and Sabena in Europe ceasing to exist. In an effort to restore confidence, the airlines, regulatory agencies, and governments on both sides of the Atlantic introduced “emergency” measures to increase public confidence in security. While cockpit incursion poses a risk to air safety (although it is not a novel phenomenon) other factors

Abstract:

The demand for the nursing home business is increasing due to the aging population in the United States, while the current nursing workforce across the country is short and not meeting the demand. Further, the workforce shortages during COVID-19 created a complex environment for Nurse managers (NMs) through additional workloads such as direct patient care, preventing turnover, and other rigorous administrative and clinical tasks, leading them to burnout in nursing homes. Also, it created unsafe working conditions for the nurses and nurse leaders, as evidenced by poor-quality outcomes and busin

This is a time of global economic and environmental transition, and the balance of power between MNEs and developing communities has yet to be determined. MNEs can take a role in moving the conversation forward, but the issue and disenchantment with the status quo and the polarization between rich and poor needs to be addressed. This is especially true in the United States where shifts in power on a global basis, and the movement of power from the hegemon towards developing nations, are seen to be threats to the established culture of dominance and way of life.

Abstract Introduction Poor sleep health is widespread among undergraduate university students. This study sought to understand the contributors to poor sleep quality at an elite undergraduate university in the United States. In particular, we were interested in uncovering the social influences on sleep regularity, which is increasingly regarded as a critical determinant of overall sleep quality. Methods An exploratory, mixed-methods study was designed combining a week-long diary study (n=5) and in-depth contextual interviews (n=5) to better understand undergraduate students’ college experience

Abstract:

Abstract Researchers have posited that healthcare workers (HCWs) are at greater risk of sleep and pain concerns due to their demanding work schedules and stressful workplace environment. Currently, more research is needed to understand the joint associations between sleep and pain and differences by work status and occupation type. This study examined the individual and joint associations between sleep and pain on mental health symptoms by workers (vs. non-workers) and HCWs (vs. non-HCWs). Data came from the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study (Time 1: 2004-2005; Time 2: 2013-2019). At
