This document summarizes research investigating the impact of environmental factors like green space on health using spatially-linked individual data. The researchers analyzed data on obesity rates and green space exposure from the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing. They found a U-shaped relationship between greenness of area and obesity, suggesting both availability and accessibility of green space are important. Future work will explore other environmental exposures like noise and air pollution, and assess new data sources to further analyze potential causal mechanisms.

Introduction
• Physical environment an important
component of the ‘social determinants of
health’ (WHO, 2008)
• Direct and indirect effects of
environmental conditions on health and
wellbeing
• But there are methodological challenges

@ESRIDublin5 April 20193
• Link spatially-coded individual-level
micro-data with data on environmental
exposures

• Environmental exposure data on radon,
green and blue spaces, noise, etc.
Our Approach

@ESRIDublin5 April 20196
• Increasing urbanisation → health and
well-being effects
• Obesity a major public health concern
• Causes of obesity multi-faceted, but
increasing focus on environmental factors
• Literature on association between green
space and obesity presents mixed
evidence (Lachowycz and Jones, 2011)

Health Evidence™ hosted a 60 minute webinar examining the effects of weight loss interventions for adults who are obese on mortality, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Follow this link to access to the audio recording for this webinar: https://youtu.be/olF1bvaofXE Dr. Alison Avenell, Clinical Chair in Health Services Research, and Sam (Chenhan) Ma, from the Health Services Research Unit at the University of Aberdeen presented an overview of findings from their latest systematic review and meta-analysis: Ma C, Avenell A, Bolland M, Hudson J, Stewart F, Robertson C, et al. (2017). Effects of weight loss interventions for adults who are obese on mortality, cardiovascular disease, and cancer: Systematic review and meta-analysis. BMJ, 359, j4849. Adults with obesity have an increased risk of premature mortality, cardiovascular disease, some cancers, type 2 diabetes, and many other diseases. This review assesses whether weight loss intervention for adults with obesity affect all cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and body weight. Fifty-four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with 30,206 participants were identified in the review. High quality evidence showed that weight loss interventions decrease all cause mortality, with six fewer deaths per 1000 participants. Moderate quality evidence showed an effect on cardiovascular mortality, and very low quality evidence showed an effect on cancer mortality. Weight reducing diets, usually low in fat and saturated fat, with or without exercise advice or programmes, may reduce premature all cause mortality in adults with obesity.

Cliff edges in the Irish tax-benefit system

Economic and Social Research Institute

Tax-benefit systems face challenges in achieving their objectives. One key challenge is to ensure people have adequate incomes without creating strong financial disincentives to work. One element which may reduce work incentives are cliff edges. Cliff edges occur where benefit entitlements and other supports are withdrawn sharply (or entirely), or where tax and social insurance liabilities increase steeply as income rises. Research has found that people adjust their behaviour to keep their income below points such as these. This paper examines where such cliff edges exist in the Irish tax-benefit system and outlines potential reforms. PRSI and USC both have cliff edges in their design as people under a certain income are exempt. Once this threshold is passed, however, all of a person’s income becomes liable for the charges. This results in a drop in disposable income once the threshold is passed. Removing the cliff edge is possible by introducing a 0% band with those above this level only paying USC/PRSI on the income above this band (as is the case in the income tax system). Reforming the current system is possible but would mean trade-offs if the government want such changes to be revenue neutral – either more low-income people would need to be brought into the USC/PRSI net or rates must increase. Part-time and low-income workers are negatively impacted by current rules The social welfare system mainly avoids cliff edges through the gradual withdrawal of benefits as incomes rise. However, two cliff edges exist. The 4-in-7 rule, whereby those working part-time can only receive a Jobseekers Allowance (JSA) payment if fully unemployed for 4 days out of 7, can disincentivise employment as it means that a person working part-time, but whose hours are spread out over the week, will have no JSA entitlement. A second cliff edge exists for lower-income workers – those working at least 38 hours a fortnight can receive the in-work support, the Working Family Payment, while those just under this cut-off cannot.

Housing tenure, health and public healthcare coverage in Ireland

Economic and Social Research Institute

Despite concern among the public and policymakers about housing and healthcare in Ireland, limited information exists on the relationship between these two critical issues. New research by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI), presented at the annual Budget Perspectives conference on June 15th, highlights significant variations in health outcomes and medical card coverage across supported renter, private renter, and homeowner tenure groups in Ireland. The variations we report should not be interpreted as showing causation, but it is important to identify the patterns for a variety of reasons including healthcare delivery. Supported renters Findings show that individuals in the supported rental sector experience the poorest health outcomes. Half of all older adults (aged 65+) in supported rental housing report poor self-reported health, in contrast to one-third of older homeowners. A decline in medical card coverage among supported renters is found, with only 74% holding a medical card in 2021 compared to 87% in 2015. Less than half of employed supported renters possess a medical card, despite facing a high risk of poverty and having incomes that qualify them for public housing assistance. Private renters Private renters are found to have poorer health outcomes compared to homeowners across all age groups, in combination with lower rates of medical card coverage. A quarter of private renters with a chronic illness are at risk of poverty, yet the majority lack a medical card. Additionally, over a quarter of older private renters with a chronic illness do not hold a medical card. These findings, combined with previous research demonstrating the financial benefits of possessing a medical card in reducing the burden of healthcare, highlight the significant financial risk faced by vulnerable private renters in the event of a health shock.

Extending the National Childcare Scheme to childminders: Cost and distributio...

Economic and Social Research Institute

The cost of childcare by childminders may decrease by an average of €100 per month if care provided by childminders becomes eligible for the National Childcare Scheme. Such is the finding of new research by the ESRI, presented at the annual Budget Perspectives conference on 15th June. Prior to the introduction of the National Childcare Scheme (NCS), parents in Ireland faced some of the highest childcare costs among OECD countries. The NCS provides subsidies for users of Tusla-registered childcare. Childminder care, which is typically unregistered, is however, the second most widely used form of paid childcare in Ireland and is not currently subsidised. The National Action Plan for Childminders has committed to the extension of NCS subsidies to childminders who care for non-relative children in the childminder’s own home. The extension is expected to happen on a phased basis over a three-year period from 2024. This research shows that extending the NCS to children cared for by childminders will cost €35-122 million per annum, depending on how well the scheme is taken up. If all current non-relative childminders register with Tusla and all eligible parents claim NCS subsidies, the reform will benefit 80,000 children by an average of around €100 per month. Children cared for by a childminder tend to live in households with relatively high disposable income and high levels of parental employment, compared to children in centre-based care. The reform will therefore benefit middle-income households more than low- or high-income households. Subsidising the cost of childminder care is likely to have other knock-on consequences. First, it may reduce the demand for formal (centre-based) care which could alleviate some of the current shortages of this form of childcare. Second, it may increase mothers’ labour supply by reducing barriers to work. Third, wider and positive societal impacts are likely if regulation of the childminder sector improves quality of care and health and safety. However, much depends on the administrative or financial requirements placed on childminders by the increased regulation.

Pandemic unemployment and social disadvantage in Ireland

Economic and Social Research Institute

The ESRI, in collaboration with Pobal, have launched a report examining the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on people living in disadvantaged areas in Ireland, as defined by the Pobal Haase Pratschke Deprivation Index. The report, titled ‘Pandemic Unemployment and Social Disadvantage in Ireland’, shows that people living in deprived areas, when compared to those living in more affluent areas, experienced greater disruption to their employment. The Pandemic Unemployment Payment (PUP) was a social welfare payment for employees and self-employed people who lost all their employment due to the COVID-19 public health emergency and the resulting economic impact of lockdowns and restrictions. The payment was designed as income replacement to mitigate the short-term impact on financial wellbeing that pandemic-related job interruption would cause. This research examines the economic repercussions of the pandemic and the extent to which the proportion and duration of Pandemic Unemployment Payment (PUP) are related to area-level deprivation.

Intergenerational poverty in Ireland

Economic and Social Research Institute

Individuals who experienced childhood poverty are much more likely to experience income poverty and material deprivation in adulthood. A new study funded by Pobal and carried out by the ESRI finds that in 2019, the likelihood of deprivation in adulthood was 35 percentage points higher among individuals who grew up in poverty when compared to individuals who grew up in ‘very good’ financial circumstances.

Future Trends in Housing Tenure and the Adequacy of Retirement Income

Economic and Social Research Institute

This report, conducted as part of a research programme with the Pensions Council, explores indicative future paths for homeownership rates in Ireland and explores the impact in terms of income poverty in retirement. Using data from the Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) and the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA), we consider a number of scenarios to assess the possibility of renting households becoming homeowners, and then test the impact on income poverty rates if households were to continue to have rental costs into retirement.

Occupations and Health

Economic and Social Research Institute

The relationship between health and employment status continually shows that individuals who work have lower levels of illness and higher self-reported health. This study examines how self-reported health and objective measures of health (multimorbidity and mental health problems) differ across employment status and occupations among adults of working age (25-65 years). In addition, the study examines how public health coverage – medical card and GP visit card (GPVC) – and private health coverage (PHI), and lack thereof, differ across occupations. Overall, individuals not in employment have much lower rates of self-reported health and higher rates of illness. In particular, mental health problems are three times higher among unemployed individuals across all age groups. Examining workers separately, differences in health status across occupations are small. However, rates of health coverage differ considerably across occupations. In general, occupations associated with poorer health status tend to have the highest percentages of workers without a medical card/GPVC or PHI. This affects workers’ ability to access lower cost or free healthcare, including for the purpose of certified sick leave.

Earnings-related benefits in Ireland: Rationale, costs and work incentives

Economic and Social Research Institute

Ireland is an outlier among EU countries as it does not have a strong link between previous earnings and the level of payment provided to those who have recently lost their job or are on leave from work for the short- to medium-term for reasons of illness or maternity. This paper provides a historical background for earnings-related benefits in Ireland, outlines the rationale behind linking benefits with previous earnings and examines the potential impact of (re)instating them.

The impact of Irish budgetary policy by disability status

Economic and Social Research Institute

Existing research has shown that disability is costly and can result in an increased risk of living in poverty and a decrease in living standards. In this paper, we expand a framework of equality budgeting, previously applied from a gender perspective, to the population of households affected by disability. Using a microsimulation model linked to data from the EU Survey of Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC), we show how tax-benefit policy and other market income changes between 2007 and 2019 impacted households affected by disability and households not affected by disability. We find that disposable (or post-tax and transfer) income grew for both types of households but at a faster rate for households affected by disability than households not affected by disability. This income growth was driven by two counteracting forces. On the one hand, tax and welfare policy failed to keep pace with market income growth, reducing the living standards of households affected by disability by more than households not affected by disability. On the other hand, despite having lower average wage levels, wage growth for workers affected by disability outpaced wage growth for workers not affected by disability, while the labour supply of households affected by disability also increased. Future attempts to equality-proof budgetary policy should consider that changes to welfare disproportionally affect households with disabilities.

Energy Poverty and Deprivation in Ireland

Economic and Social Research Institute

On Thursday, June 16th 2022, the ESRI launched the Community Foundation for Ireland/ESRI report Energy poverty and deprivation in Ireland, a topic once again to the forefront of the policy debate given recent increases in energy prices. This report comprises two main sections. Firstly, it charts the nature of energy poverty in Ireland since the early 1990s, providing insight into the socioeconomic groups likely to experience either energy-related deprivation or high energy costs. Secondly, this report considers recent increases in energy prices to identify how this has affected the number of households experiencing energy poverty. The options policymakers may employ to counter energy poverty are considered.

Disrupted transitions? Young adults and the COVID-19 pandemic

Economic and Social Research Institute

On Monday, June 20th 2022, the ESRI launched the report 'Disrupted transitions? Young adults and the COVID-19 pandemic'. The report was conducted as part of a research programme with DCEDIY, draws on the Growing Up in Ireland COVID-19 survey to document the disruption to education, employment and day-to-day activities experienced by young adults during the pandemic and the consequences for their mental health. The report was launched by the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, Dr Roderic O'Gorman, TD. The research shows that the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in poorer mental health among young adults. Using data from the Growing Up in Ireland COVID-19 survey, carried out in December 2020, the findings show that four-in-ten 22-year-old men and over half (55 per cent) of 22-year-old women were classified as depressed. These were much higher figures than two years previously when 22 per cent of men and 31 per cent of women were depressed. Poorer mental health during the pandemic reflected the disruption to young adults’ employment, education and day-to-day activities. Just before the pandemic hit, most (63 per cent) of these 22-year-olds were in full-time education or training and so shifted to remote learning. The vast majority had the electronic devices they needed for remote learning and live online lectures/classes were offered by their institutions. However, around half did not have access to adequate broadband and a quiet place to study, and less than one third (30 per cent) received regular feedback on their work. Over half (57 per cent) found it difficult to study while learning remotely and this was linked to a greater risk of depression. In contrast, those who had more interaction with their institution and the resources they needed to study fared better. Over half (57 per cent) of those working (either full-time or while studying) when the pandemic hit lost their job. Only one-in-six (16 per cent) of the young adults started working remotely or increased the hours they worked from home. Having higher Leaving Certificate grades and being in a professional/managerial job at age 20 appeared to act as some protection against job loss when the pandemic began. Receiving the Pandemic Unemployment Payment (PUP) served to shelter these young adults from financial strain following employment loss. Losing a full-time job was linked to poorer mental health, especially for young men. Read the full report on our website: https://www.esri.ie/publications/disr...

Children of migrants in Ireland: how are they faring?

Economic and Social Research Institute

For many commentators, the litmus test of integration is how well the children of migrants are faring. This report investigates whether children born in Ireland to migrant parents differ from children with Irish-born parents in terms of their English language development at three, five and nine years of age, and their self-concept at nine years. It draws on rich data from the ’08 cohort of Growing up in Ireland which collects information on the children, their families, their schools, their skills and well-being in the first nine years of their lives.

Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities. In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators. Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM. Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference. We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale war

Antti Rautiainen

Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles. Thumbnail picture is by MediaZona, you may read their report on anti-war arson attacks in Russia here: https://en.zona.media/article/2022/10/13/burn-map Links: Autonomous Action http://Avtonom.org Anarchist Black Cross Moscow http://Avtonom.org/abc Solidarity Zone https://t.me/solidarity_zone Memorial https://memopzk.org/, https://t.me/pzk_memorial OVD-Info https://en.ovdinfo.org/antiwar-ovd-info-guide RosUznik https://rosuznik.org/ Uznik Online http://uznikonline.tilda.ws/ Russian Reader https://therussianreader.com/ ABC Irkutsk https://abc38.noblogs.org/ Send mail to prisoners from abroad: http://Prisonmail.online YouTube: https://youtu.be/c5nSOdU48O8 Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/libertarianlifecoach/episodes/Russian-anarchist-and-anti-war-movement-in-the-third-year-of-full-scale-war-e2k8ai4

8. @ESRIDublin5 April 20198 • Satellite imagery used to create highly detailed land-use maps of urban areas within the EU • Circular 1.6km buffer drawn around each TILDA residence • Greenness of locality = amount of green space within this buffer zone as a proportion of the total buffer zone area Calculating Green Space Exposure

9. @ESRIDublin5 April 20199 Calculating Green Space Exposure

10. @ESRIDublin5 April 201910 • Satellite imagery used to create highly detailed land-use maps of urban areas within the EU • Circular 1.6km buffer drawn around each TILDA residence • Greenness of locality = amount of green space within this buffer zone as a proportion of the total buffer zone area • Divided into quintiles to protect anonymity Calculating Green Space Exposure

11. @ESRIDublin5 April 201911 • Estimate a binary probit model of BMI>=30 (i.e., obese): Pr 𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑖𝑖 = 1,0| 𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑖𝑖, 𝑋𝑋 = Φ 𝛼𝛼 + 𝛽𝛽0 𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑖𝑖 + ∑ 𝛽𝛽𝑘𝑘 𝑋𝑋𝑘𝑘𝑘𝑘 • 𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑖𝑖 is quintile of green space • 𝑋𝑋𝑘𝑘 is a vector of other controls (age, sex, marital status, income, education, employment status, public health insurance cover, smoking status, mobility) Methods

12. @ESRIDublin5 April 201912 Distribution of BMI

13. @ESRIDublin5 April 201913 Results

18. @ESRIDublin5 April 201918 • What might explain our findings? • Selection • Type of green space • Accessibility of green space Discussion

19. @ESRIDublin5 April 201919

20. @ESRIDublin5 April 201920 • Green space associated with obesity in the older population • U-shaped relationship highlights importance of accessibility as well as availability • Further analysis of possible mechanisms (e.g., physical activity, gait, etc.) • Attempt to identify causality Summary/Next Steps

21. @ESRIDublin5 April 201921 • Effects of other environmental exposures on human health • Noise (EPA-funded NOISE-HEALTH) • Air Pollution (collaboration with TCD Engineering) Future Work
