Gender and Livelihoods: Women Empowerment and Food Security in GhanaIFSD14
1) The study examines the relationship between women's empowerment, as measured by the Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI), and household food security in Ghana.
2) The results show high levels of disempowerment among women in Ghana according to the WEAI indicators, and over 1 in 3 households reported being food insecure.
3) The multivariate analysis found that autonomy in production, joint asset ownership, and decision-making over credit were statistically significant predictors of reduced food insecurity, indicating these are priority areas for interventions.
The relationship between unemployment and poverty has been of interest to many a scholar with interest in development economics and social sciences. This paper is an addition to the empirical attempts to re-examine the relationship between unemployment rate and poverty incidence in Nigeria using secondary data sourced from relevant institutions to obtain major Social and Economic indicators spanning within 1980-2015. The study used Trend graph analysis, Correlation coefficient analysis and Granger causality tests in its analyses. As shown from the results, there is a positive-significant correlation between unemployment and poverty in Nigeria. More so, this was corroborated by the Trend graph analysis. It also established that unemployment granger causes poverty in Nigeria as suggests from the Granger causality tests. The economic implication of this result is that poverty is an increasing function of unemployment; and the Error Correction Mechanism (ECM) pointed that short run disequilibrium in the economy can be returned to equilibrium in the long run with a poor speed of adjustment of 6 %. In the light of these findings, this study recommends that efforts should be intensified in Nigeria towards implementation of unemployment reduction policies as this will significantly reduce poverty incidence.
Health and Ageing A Discussion Paper. Who nmh hps_01.1Gláucia Castro
This document discusses challenges related to population aging and proposes policies to promote active aging. It notes that the population aged 60+ is growing rapidly worldwide, especially in developing countries, straining social and economic systems. It presents five key challenges: 1) developing countries are aging rapidly before attaining wealth; 2) countries face a "double burden" of disease as chronic diseases rise alongside infectious diseases; 3) outdated views of aging need updating; 4) aging is becoming more feminized; 5) inequities in aging must be addressed. It advocates an approach called "active aging" to promote health, independence and productivity in older adults through policies across sectors.
The document discusses the progress and shortcomings of the UN's Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and analyzes how the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to address nutrition, food security, and empowerment of women and children. Some key successes of the MDGs include reducing extreme poverty and hunger. However, critics argue that the MDGs lacked attention to issues like obesity, gender disparities, and measuring absolute vs. relative progress. The SDGs propose to take a more holistic approach and address root causes of issues like inequality and human rights. Overall, the document analyzes how the UN aims to empower women and children through pursuing nutrition and food security goals.
What strategy for optimal health in poorest developing countriesAlexander Decker
This article analyzes strategies for achieving optimal health in developing countries with high rates of HIV/AIDS. It uses an economic model to study how international goals of zero new HIV infections, zero deaths from AIDS, and zero discrimination in healthcare access can be achieved. The model finds that HIV vaccines may be effective before individuals reach the "seropositivity" threshold, and medical care may slow death rates after individuals pass the HIV threshold but before reaching the AIDS threshold. However, once the AIDS threshold is passed, existing tools are no longer effective at fighting the virus. Overall eradication requires public education to change behaviors and cooperation between governments, international organizations, and low-cost drug companies on prevention and treatment.
This document discusses a study that aimed to assess the determinants of poverty in Mkinga District, Tanzania. The study found that nearly 93% of respondents in the area were poor. Using an ordinal regression model and data from 210 households, the study identified several factors associated with poverty in the area, including gender (with women more affected), smaller land size, smaller farm size, larger household size, and higher dependency ratio. The study recommends empowering people, especially women, to participate in economic activities using local resources to alleviate poverty in the district.
Analysis of the socioeconomic factors affecting women’sAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a study on the socioeconomic factors that affect women's contributions to household welfare in Mubi North Local Government Area of Adamawa State, Nigeria. The study found that most respondents were married with a mean age of 42 and average household size of eight people. While 70% had some formal education, women's income contributions to households were below 30% for 90% of respondents. Regression analysis showed that age and income were significant factors influencing women's contributions, with contributions increasing with age and income. The study recommends equipping rural women with knowledge of nutrition and education to enable greater contributions to food security and children's education.

Canonical correlation analysis of poverty and literacy levels in ekiti state,...Alexander Decker
This document discusses a study that uses canonical correlation analysis to examine the relationship between poverty and literacy levels in Ekiti State, Nigeria. The study categorized poverty into variables like expenditures, household size, and per capita expenditures. Literacy levels were categorized by years of formal education and educational age groups. The results of the canonical correlation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between poverty and literacy levels. Some literacy variables also significantly correlated with specific poverty variables. The study concludes that literacy is a strong determining factor of poverty.

This study examines the relationship between rising income inequality in the U.S. and decreasing levels of generalized trust over time. The researchers analyzed data from the General Social Survey from 1972-2009, finding a significant negative correlation - as the Gini coefficient (a measure of income inequality) increased year to year, levels of reported trust in others decreased. Their longitudinal analysis estimated that for every 1 standard deviation increase in the Gini coefficient, the percentage of people reporting they trust others dropped from 41% to 29%. The researchers conclude that rising income inequality is likely reducing social trust in the U.S. over time.
The State of Environmental Migration (2014: Review of 2013)Graciela Mariani
This document provides an introduction to "The State of Environmental Migration 2014: A Review of 2013". It summarizes the key events and policy developments related to environmental migration in 2013. Major natural disasters in 2013 displaced over 22 million people globally. Asia experienced the most displacement due to events like Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. Policy discussions on environmental migration advanced in international negotiations on climate change and disaster risk reduction. Recognition of migration as an adaptation strategy also increased amid growing evidence of climate change impacts on livelihoods.
This document discusses concepts and issues related to poverty line estimation in India. It provides background on how poverty is defined and measured internationally and in India over time. Key points include:
- Poverty is defined as the inability to meet basic human needs like food, water, shelter. It can be absolute or relative.
- India makes up a large portion of the global population in extreme poverty, defined as living on less than $1.25 per day.
- India has used several methods over time to estimate poverty lines, from the 1962 Working Group method to the current Tendulkar Committee method from 2009.
- The document reviews trends in estimated poverty levels and rates of decline in India since the 1990s based
The slides are a point of statement on the feasibility of Universal health coverage. It talks about what is UHC and can it be sustained by India over time
1. Psychologists worldwide are focusing greater attention on how psychology can contribute to reducing poverty through special issues in peer-reviewed journals on this topic in mid-2010.
2. Studies show that income inequality is strongly associated with poorer physical and mental health outcomes, and that these health inequalities do not decrease even as overall population health improves.
3. Psychologists have an opportunity and ethical responsibility to use their expertise to better describe and address the causes and impacts of poverty and suffering in societies in order to inform policies that can promote well-being and more inclusive communities.
The document discusses the Buck Institute's growing global partnerships and business development efforts to advance aging research. Due to discoveries made by Buck scientists and a decline in NIH funding, business development became a top priority. The Buck has established partnerships across the globe in countries like Brazil, Russia, Japan, and China to pursue joint research, licensing agreements, and investments. These partnerships will help accelerate translating research findings into new therapies to extend healthspan worldwide. The Buck has also hired experts in business development and is exploring opportunities in health policy to have a greater impact on global health as a leader in aging science.

The document discusses overpopulation, providing information on:
- Definitions of overpopulation from scientists and experts.
- Current global population figures and India's population statistics and projections.
- Causes of overpopulation including poverty, illiteracy, child labor, improved healthcare, and more.
- Effects of overpopulation such as lack of resources like water, increased pollution, higher death rates, and faster climate change.
- Potential solutions like better sex education, access to contraceptives, and changes to policies that incentivize large families.
The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation has partnered with institutions around the world to fund over 50 research projects exploring the relationship between population, reproductive health, and economic development in low and middle-income countries. This research initiative called PopPov has supported studies at both the macro and micro levels. Macro-level research has examined how demographic changes and policies impact economic growth, while micro-level research has assessed the effects of family planning and reproductive health on outcomes for women and children. PopPov researchers have generated new data and identified creative methods using natural experiments to help establish causal relationships. Their findings are being used to inform health, family planning, and education programs in several countries.
This document summarizes research conducted as part of the Population and Poverty (PopPov) initiative, which aimed to strengthen evidence on how population and reproductive health affect economic outcomes in low- and middle-income countries. It outlines key findings from macro-level studies that examined relationships between demographic changes, economic growth, and policy impacts. It also describes results from micro-level studies that evaluated how specific health programs and interventions affected outcomes for women and children. Overall, the research generated evidence that family planning programs can facilitate economic development and that improved access to reproductive healthcare provides benefits. Going forward, PopPov studies have made progress addressing the initial research agenda, but more work is still needed.
A study in Accra, Ghana found that larger family sizes negatively impacted women's health and economic opportunities. While additional births did not initially affect women's employment due to support from family and flexibility to bring children to work, over time more children reduced labor force participation and increased health risks from pregnancies. The challenges of unstable employment, low wages, and lack of partner cohabitation in Accra exacerbated the economic and health burdens of childrearing for women and their families.
This document summarizes a study on household decision-making and contraceptive use in Zambia. The study found that unmet need for family planning remains high in Zambia, despite available services. It investigated how a husband's role in decisions influences a wife's contraceptive use. Women were given vouchers for free contraception either with their husbands (couples treatment) or privately (individual treatment). The couples treatment led to 25% fewer women using concealable contraception compared to the individual treatment. The study suggests spousal disagreement can impact contraceptive use and fertility outcomes.
Large changes in contraceptive prices and household resources during an economic crisis in Indonesia had little impact on contraceptive use. When prices of contraceptives like pills increased by over 50% and household expenditures decreased by 15%, overall contraceptive use only declined slightly. While some switched methods or providers in response to price changes, demand for family planning services proved resilient. The study suggests that reducing public subsidies for contraceptives may not reduce use, allowing resources to be reallocated to other health programs.

Rwanda faces development challenges stemming from factors like low income, past political upheaval, and high population density. While contraceptive use and fertility rates have increased and decreased respectively in recent years due to government programs and policies, unmet need for family planning remains high. Smaller desired family size is associated with education level, region of residence, partner's occupation, exposure to family planning information, and couple communication. Increasing access to and awareness of contraceptives as well as addressing cultural attitudes could further reduce unmet need and support Rwanda's efforts to slow population growth.

Science Cabaret by Dr. Rodney Dietert "How to train your super organism..via ...Kitty Gifford
This document summarizes a presentation by Rodney Dietert on training the human-microbial superorganism. It discusses how Dietert found his superorganism through research linking the microbiome to health and disease. He learned that humans are majority microbial and the microbiome helps produce our identity through volatile compounds. Microbial dysbiosis can lead to inflammation and disease. Dietert trained his own superorganism after years of antibiotics by adjusting his microbiome and diet. He provides three takeaway points on the importance of microbiome seeding at birth, co-maturation of the immune and microbial systems, and basing safety assessments on the human superorganism.

Data were collected through surveys and analyzed using statistical methods like logistic regression to identify relationships between family planning adoption and socioeconomic/demographic predictors. The findings provide insight into family planning awareness, knowledge and practices in the given region of Ghana.
Global Health Disparities - Presentation.pptxHannaBenarroch1
This document discusses global health disparities and their causes. Socioeconomic factors directly correlate with unequal access to and quality of healthcare around the world. In many low and middle income countries, healthcare services and facilities are rarely available or insufficient, especially in rural areas. Discrimination also contributes to health disparities as some groups receive lower quality care or lack access to certain treatments. Potential solutions proposed include implementing universal healthcare, focusing on disease prevention, and reforming how healthcare is financed globally to improve equity.
Gender And Disaster Risk Reduction Ifrc CaribbeanLn Perch
This document provides an overview of gender and disaster risk reduction. It begins with definitions of key terms like gender mainstreaming and gender analysis. It then presents case studies on the different impacts of disasters on women and men in Grenada, St. Lucia, and St. Kitts and Nevis. The document discusses how gender analysis is important for understanding social inequalities and power differentials between women and men. It also explores how gender should be considered in areas like vulnerability, response, and management in disaster and environmental contexts.
This document provides an overview of over 100 population, poverty, and reproductive health research projects funded by various organizations. It lists each project's title, lead investigator, funding organization, and whether the project examines topics at the macro level, micro/household level, involves policy/program evaluation, focuses on HIV/AIDS, uses experimental design, concerns female empowerment, measures impacts on GDP, poverty reduction, or labor force participation/savings, or evaluates the effects of reproductive health investments and programs.

Advancing Nursing Research to Address Global Health ChallengesRyan Michael Oducado
I this presentation, I will delve into the significance
of nursing research, some of the global health challenges that demand our attention,
the current state of nursing research, the vital role of studies conducted by nurses in
addressing these challenges, and how we can collectively advance the cause of
nursing research. We will also explore the challenges and the hurdles that often
accompany our research journey. Furthermore, we will discuss the power of
research, the strengths of collaboration, the availability of resources, and the
dissemination of research findings to create a positive, lasting impact.
New data reveals population anxieties are widespread and governments are increasingly adopting policies aimed at raising, lowering or maintaining fertility rates. But efforts to influence fertility rates are very often ineffective and can erode women’s rights, according to UNFPA's State of World Population report, released today.
The landmark report “8 Billion Lives, Infinite Possibilities: the case for rights and choices” calls for a radical rethink of how population numbers are framed – urging politicians and media to abandon overblown narratives about population booms and busts. Instead of asking how fast people are reproducing, leaders should ask whether individuals, especially women, are able to freely make their own reproductive choices – a question whose answer, too often, is no.
“Women’s bodies should not be held captive to population targets,” says UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Natalia Kanem. “To build thriving and inclusive societies, regardless of population size, we must radically rethink how we talk about and plan for population change.”
A staggering 44 per cent of partnered women and girls in 68 reporting countries do not have the right to make informed decisions about their bodies when it comes to having sex, using contraception and seeking health care; and an estimated 257 million women worldwide have an unmet need for safe, reliable contraception.
History has shown that fertility policies designed to increase or lower birth rates are very often ineffective and can undermine women’s rights. Many countries have rolled out programmes to engineer larger families by offering financial incentives and rewards to women and their partners, yet they continue to see birth rates below two children per woman. And efforts to slow population growth through forced sterilization and coercive contraception have grossly violated human rights.
Family planning must not be used as a tool for achieving fertility targets; it is a tool for empowering individuals. Women should be able to choose if, when and how many children they would like to have, free from the coercion of pundits and officials.
The report strongly recommends governments institute policies with gender equality and rights at their heart, such as parental leave programmes, child tax credits, policies that promote gender equality in the workplace, and universal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights. These offer a proven formula that will reap economic dividends and lead to resilient societies able to thrive no matter how populations change.
Key Facts and Figures from the 2023 State of World Population:
Twenty-four per cent of partnered women and girls are unable to say no to sex and 11 per cent are unable to make decisions specifically about contraception, according to data from 68 reporting countries. A survey of eight countries showed people who had been exposed to media or conversations about the world’s population were more likely to view the global population as b

Ethnicity
About 16 distinct ethnic groups and their languages coexist in Sierra Leone. In Sierra Leone, it's common for people to identify with a particular ethnicity and religion. People of a specific ethnicity are those who consider themselves to be part of a particular cultural group. One's ethnic identity is formed via shared experiences with those who share one's linguistic and cultural backgrounds and common ancestry. "ethnicity" means a collection of people with a common cultural background. One's sense of ethnic identity is founded on shared linguistic and cultural backgrounds, histories, and customs. The Temne are the largest single ethnic group in Sierra Leone, making up approximately 35.5 percent of the population (Gohdes, 2010).Most Temne live in and around Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone, and the Northern Province. The fundamental dwelling unit is the family, whether led by a man or a woman. Families (husband, wife(s), and children) form the backbone of most houses. For example, some families consist of many people (a father and son or two siblings) who are married to one other, while others have other, more distant relatives or even strangers living with them. The head of the household mediates arguments, conducts moot courts to settle family conflicts, and acts as the family's representative in village matters.
Stakes
Despite these persistent challenges, many people and organizations have worked to lessen poverty in Sierra Leone. In 2010, Sierra Leone initiated a free healthcare program called the Free Healthcare Initiative (FHCI). This program ensures that expectant mothers, new moms, and early infants have access to essential medical care to lower infant mortality rates. Sierra Leone is falling behind other countries in understanding citizens' rights and duties because of a lack of financing for educational initiatives. This adds to the already existing disparity between the sexes and further pushes women to the margins of society. The difficulty of entering the labor force and the societal conception of women as servants to men are both results of gender inequality. This thinking obstructs progress for Sierra Leone in a global community that places a premium on girls' education and gender equality.
Meaning of Illness
Due to a lack of knowledge, many people may not recognize the seriousness of a disease (McNamara, 2016). The high rates of death and morbidity may be attributed, in part, to the lack .
Determinants of higher fertility rates in igunga district, tanzania does wom...Alexander Decker
This study investigated the relationship between women's empowerment and fertility rates in Igunga District, Tanzania, which has high fertility rates. 120 women were surveyed using questionnaires on their empowerment, measured by indicators like participation in economic and family size decisions, mobility, and coercive control, and their fertility, measured by age-specific fertility rates and total fertility rates. Results showed women in the area had low levels of empowerment on these indicators. Regression analysis found lower levels of empowerment, along with demographic and cultural factors like men's dominance, were responsible for the higher fertility rates in the area. The study recommends interventions to address cultural factors and increase women's empowerment to potentially lower fertility rates.
Socio Demographic Determinants for Effective Use of Modern Contraceptive amon...ijtsrd
The document discusses a study that examined the socio-demographic determinants of modern contraceptive use among married women of childbearing age in Anambra State, Nigeria. The study found that older women and women with higher education levels used modern contraceptives more than younger women and less educated women. Religious women used modern contraceptives less frequently. The study concluded that health education on modern contraceptives should be provided in various community settings to increase awareness and use.
Best practice in employment of people with disabilities in indiaDominique Gross
This study on employment of people with disabilities (PWDs) in the private sector in India was undertaken in 2014 by the American India Foundation (AIF), supported by a team of sighted and visually-impaired researchers and experts from the NAB Centre for Blind Women & Disability Studies, a unit of National Association for the Blind (NAB), Mumbai.
The report has been compiled on the basis of primary research covering 105 small, medium and large companies in selected sectors employing persons with disabilities, their level of engagement, policies and practices in place. The research team administered a brief questionnaire to the sample. The sectors included Hotels, Hospitals, Garments, Information Technology (IT) and Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES), Spas, Food Processing, Food and Beverage (F&B) and Retail, Electrical Goods, and Banking. The researchers held appointments with the human resources (HR) departments or top management of these companies to collect first-hand information through intensive interviews, supplemented by secondary research.
The objective of the report is to examine the key practices, operations, policies, and critical success factors of employers in the Indian private sector who have demonstrated inclusive employment policies. The information so compiled is meant to serve as resource material for other employers to emulate.
Utilization of reproductive health services in ghanaAlexander Decker
The document analyzes factors affecting utilization of reproductive health services in Ghana based on a survey of 200 individuals. The results of a probit analysis show that being married and having a higher income positively influence utilization of services, while higher prices negatively affect utilization. Policy should target the unmarried and poor by providing subsidies to increase utilization and enhance reproductive health outcomes.
The Role of Women in Development 2014: Gender Equality and Sustainable Devel...Dr Lendy Spires
The twin challenges of building pathways to sustainable development and achieving gender equality have never been more pressing. As the world moves towards the post-2015 development agenda, the present World Survey not only shows why each challenge is so important, but also why both challenges must be addressed together, in ways that fully realize the human rights of women and girls and help countries to make the transition to sustainable development.
Dominant patterns of production, consumption and distribution are heading in deeply unsustainable directions (see A/CONF.216/PC/7). Humanity has become a key driver of earth system processes and the over exploitation of natural resources, the loss of key habitats and biodiversity and the pollution of land, seas and the atmosphere are becoming increasingly evident. Scientific understandings are clarifying the huge economic, social and environmental challenges posed by such threats as climate change and the loss of essential ecosystem services, as humanity approaches or exceeds so-called “planetary boundaries” (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2013; Rockström and others, 2009).
Already, human interactions with the environment are producing unprecedented shocks and stresses, felt in floods, droughts and devastated urban and rural landscapes and livelihoods, while many people and places have suffered from a nexus of food, energy, environmental and financial crises. These unsustainable patterns add to poverty and inequality today, especially for the third of the world’s population directly dependent on natural resources for their well-being, and create deep threats for future generations (Unmüßig, Sachs and Fatheuer, 2012). The effects of unsustainable patterns of development intensify gender inequality because women and girls are often disproportionately affected by economic, social and environmental shocks and stresses (Neumayer and Plümper, 2007). The causes and underlying drivers of unsustainability and of gender inequality are deeply interlocked. Both are produced by development models that support particular types of underregulated market-led growth and the persistence of unequal power relations between women and men (Wichterich, 2012).
Such development patterns rely on and reproduce gender inequalities, exploiting women’s labour and unpaid care work. The same development trajectories also produce environmental problems, as market actors seek and secure profit in ways that rely on the overexploitation of natural resources and the pollution of climates, land and oceans. Such market-led pathways are leading in directions that are unsustainable in social and ecological terms, and ultimately in economic ones too, undermining the conditions for future progress. Growing international debate now highlights the need to move economies and societies onto more sustainable paths, whether to avert crisis and catastrophe, or enable prosperity through “green economies”.

Wage theft is a threat to community health and well-being. Wage theft is a pu...Jim Bloyd, DrPH, MPH
Wage theft, which includes nonpayment of overtime, minimum wage violations, and other labor law violations, is common among low-wage workers. Up to 30% of all workers experience some form of wage theft. Low-wage immigrant workers are especially vulnerable. Studies show wage theft is linked to increased risk of health issues like high blood pressure, diabetes, and reduced life expectancy. By reducing income and increasing work hours, wage theft threatens both individual and community health and well-being.
This document discusses how economic shifts and natural disasters affect vulnerable populations in low and middle-income countries. While the proportion of people living in extreme poverty has declined globally, nearly 1 billion people still live in poverty. Extreme poverty is concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia and is worsened by slow employment growth, volatile commodity prices, and natural disasters. Research studies in India, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Bangladesh found that economic downturns and natural disasters increase food insecurity, malnutrition, and lower educational attainment, especially for vulnerable groups. However, certain health, nutrition, and cash transfer programs were shown to help mitigate the effects of poverty and protect vulnerable populations.
Solid evidence on the links between preventing adolescent childbearing and alleviating poverty can motivate policymakers and donors to invest in reproductive health and family planning programs for youth. Research that documents the clear cause-and-effect relationship between program interventions and outcomes, such as better health and delayed childbearing among teens, can guide decisions about investments in research or programs.
This report examines the evidence for investing in adolescent reproductive health and family planning programs from the perspective of making an evidence-based argument to guide the investment or spending decisions of public or private organizations. Key steps in developing such an argument—a business case—include:
1. The consequences of relevant trends.
2. Evidence on the potential of particular actions or interventions to change the status quo.
3. The costs associated with different actions.
This policy brief summarizes policymakers’ perspectives on what constitutes barriers to evidence-informed policymaking. It also presents strategies for making research results more accessible to high-level policymakers at the country level, based on what they say they want as well as evidence about what information policymakers can and do use in policymaking. Finally, the brief includes examples of how PopPov-supported researchers addressed policy-relevant questions and applied some of the outreach strategies that policymakers suggest.
Social and economic factors influence contraceptive use in Tanzania. Only 27% of married women in Tanzania used modern contraceptive methods in 2010, and the rate was even lower in Mwanza region at 12%. Both men and women have concerns and misconceptions about side effects of contraceptives. Research shows contraceptive use is associated with greater knowledge about contraceptives and higher education levels. A woman's social network and partner approval also impact her contraceptive use. Economic shocks can disrupt access to contraceptives or encourage greater use to avoid child expenses. National investments in family planning programs aim to expand access and increase contraceptive rates.
The document discusses maternal health and outcomes in Burkina Faso. It finds that the maternal mortality ratio in Burkina Faso is 400 deaths per 100,000 live births, which is higher than the global average but has declined 49% since 1990. Pregnancy-related crises can have long-term health, social, and economic impacts on women and their families due to costs of care, lost productivity, and risk of impoverishment. Investing in access to emergency obstetric care and family planning can help reduce maternal mortality and its adverse effects in Burkina Faso.
Living further from health care facilities can negatively impact health in South Africa by serving as a barrier to access. Research in South Africa found that teenage childbearing was influenced by the distance to care facilities, and teenage childbearing can have lasting health and economic consequences. A program called NAFCI that provided youth-friendly sexual health services and information at clinics was associated with delayed childbearing, increased contraceptive use, and reduced sexually transmitted infections among adolescents living near the clinics. Improving access to reproductive healthcare and information can help address disparities in teenage pregnancy and its adverse outcomes.
This document summarizes research on the links between women's reproductive health, family size, and economic development in East Africa. The research shows that empowering women with access to family planning and reproductive healthcare contributes to economic well-being. When women can control the timing and spacing of pregnancies, it allows them to pursue education and jobs while also having smaller, healthier families. However, many women in East Africa still have unmet needs for contraception and face barriers in accessing quality maternal healthcare. Investing in women's health, lowering costs, and improving access to services could help initiate a cycle of greater health, education, and economic opportunities for women and their families.
This document describes several projects funded by AFD/IRD that aim to study population issues in Africa. One project examines the impact of fertility behaviors on children's schooling and work in urban Burkina Faso. Another analyzes determinants and outcomes of transitions related to family formation, education, and work for young women in Senegal and Madagascar. A third project evaluates the impact of prevention campaigns on risky sexual behaviors of teenage girls in Cameroon using a randomized controlled trial.
- Teenage childbearing in South Africa remains high, with over 1 in 4 women experiencing a birth before age 20. Research from Cape Town and rural KwaZulu-Natal finds that teen mothers and their children experience adverse social and economic outcomes.
- Studies show teen mothers have lower educational attainment, with fewer years of schooling completed and higher dropout rates compared to women who delayed childbearing. Children of teen mothers also have poorer health and educational outcomes.
- While factors like low socioeconomic status contribute to these outcomes, the research finds teenage childbearing itself leads to lower human capital accumulation for mothers and risks to child health, suggesting policy interventions could help mitigate these effects.
This document discusses the relationships between reproductive health, population change, and economic development. It examines evidence that improvements in reproductive health, such as lower fertility and better maternal and child health, can contribute to human capital development and economic returns in three key ways: 1) Healthier women with fewer children invest more in education; 2) Women participate more in labor markets; 3) Better reproductive health increases women's ability to earn and save, helping families escape poverty. The document reviews studies showing pathways and evidence for these connections.
The document discusses two studies on family planning in Uganda. The first study finds that the societal costs of induced abortions in Uganda in 2009 was over $64 million, more than 4% of annual health care expenditures. The second study finds that increasing access to modern contraceptives to meet all unmet need could reduce costs, fertility rates, abortions and complications while improving health outcomes. The analysis suggests universal access to contraception would be highly cost-effective.
The document discusses challenges researchers face in communicating their findings to policymakers. It provides examples of 4 research teams' experiences:
1) A South African team studying teenage pregnancy partnered with advocacy groups and presented findings to stakeholders, who provided feedback and requested additional analysis to inform policy.
2) A Burkina Faso team on obstetric costs partnered with an NGO, met with policymakers, engaged media, and produced briefs. Their research informed advocacy and policy debates.
3) A Malawian team on unintended fertility engaged communities and stakeholders to increase understanding of their research and its implications for health policy.
4) A Zambian team on family planning decision-making disse
Women in Burkina Faso who experienced life-threatening complications during childbirth faced significant financial and social hardships even if they survived. The costs of emergency care often plunged families deeper into poverty, as women had to pay at least part of the bills and missed work during their recovery. While Burkina Faso adopted a policy in 2006 to subsidize delivery and emergency obstetric care costs, many poor women did not benefit due to lack of awareness about the policy and which women qualified for full exemption from fees. Surviving such complications compromised women's social status and roles within their families and communities.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
