The document discusses how lack of access to contraception and family planning options exacerbates the cycle of poverty for women. Unintended early pregnancies often force women to abandon their education and career goals, limiting their employment opportunities and potential earnings. This perpetuates an intergenerational cycle of poverty, as teenage mothers and their children have lower educational attainment and income levels. The document argues that increasing access to contraception could help more women choose when to start families and pursue education or jobs first, empowering them to break out of poverty.

Wirkungsvolles Corporate Volunteering: Praxistipps und -tool für UnternehmenPHINEO gemeinnützige AG
Beim Corporate Volunteering engagieren sich Beschäftigte für gesellschaftliche Belange, die außerhalb der eigentlichen Aufgaben des Unternehmens liegen. Beim Corporate Volunteering gewinnen alle:
- Die Gesellschaft, weil sie viel tatkräftige Unterstützung erhält.
- Der Beschäftigte, weil er besonders sinnstiftend arbeitet und gleichzeitig neue Sichtweisen und Kompetenzen erwirbt.
- Und das Unternehmen, weil es an Reputation gewinnt, zufriedenere MitarbeiterInnen hat und Volunteering-Maßnahmen geschickt mit der Personalentwicklung kombinieren kann.
Bevor Sie sich an die konkrete Planung von Corporate-Volunteering-Maßnahmen machen, empfiehlt sich zunächst eine grundlegende Entscheidung:
- Soll Corporate Volunteering aktiv in die Unternehmensstrategie eingebunden werden?
- Oder geht es Ihnen darum, das private Engagement der MitarbeiterInnen zu unterstützen, also passiv zu fördern?
Der Ratgeber gibt zahlreiche Tipps, wie Sie eine wirksame und effektive Corporate-Volunteering-Strategie auf- und umsetzen. Mit Praxisbeispielen.

Abstract
Maternal, infant health is very essential for the progress of any country since they form the pillar of our future generations. United States has made significant strides towards securing the maternal and child health through various initiatives and programs within the country and around the globe. Despite the existence of health care initiatives to promote maternal, infant and child health, maternal and infant mortalities are still recorded on a daily basis in the U.S. Risk factors to maternal, infant and child mortalities include poor and a lack of a antenatal care attendance, unskilled birth attendants,ce and childhood illnesses. More than a quarter of every single maternal mortality is because of postpartum hemorrhaginge, for the most part after labor.
Infant mortality is another prevalent case that contributes to the worsening situation in child and maternal health, because of untimely births represent more than a quarter of infant mortalities, trailed by mortalities during births and neonatal sepsis. Maternal and child health (MCH) programs concentrate on medical problems concerning related to mothers, children, and families – such as , for example, access to suitable pre-natal and child welfare services, baby mortality mitigation initiatives, emergency medical services, prevention of injuries, infant screening, and administrations to kidschildren children with unique health care needs. The United States is working to prevent maternal deaths, infant mortalities, and child mortalities, and to reduce the prevalence of these incidences. It calls for a multidisciplinary approach in order to eliminate this issue affecting the mothers and children. Reinforcing referral systems and linkages between various levels of hospital-based patient care, and between healthcare organizations providers and the general population, must be a top needpriority.

Teen pregnancy in the United States
Teen pregnancy in the United States
The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy was founded in 1996 and has its headquarters in Washington D.C. and has nearly 200 organizations and media outlets which serve as partners. The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy’s main agenda seeks to improve the lives and future prospects of children and families by ensuring that children are born into stable, two-parent families who have a commitment to and are ready for the demanding task of raising the next generation. Their strategy is aimed at the prevention of teen pregnancy and unplanned pregnancy among single, young adults by supporting a combination of responsible values and behavior by both men and women and responsible policies in both the public and private sectors. Their actions are aimed at improving child and family well-being therefore reducing the prevalence rate of poverty by providing more opportunities for the teenagers to complete their education or achieve other life goals while advocating for fewer abortions towards the creation of a stronger nation.
Teenage pregnancies have resulted to a total of 273,105 babies who were born to women aged 15–19 years, for a live birth rate of 26.5% per 1,000 women in this age group. There has been a decline in teen pregnancies with a drop of 10% in 2013. The birth rates declined at 13% for women aged 15–17 years, and 8% for women aged 18–19 years (Child Trends, 2014). Still, the U.S. teen pregnancy rate is substantially higher than in other western industrialized nations (Clay, et al, 2012). The national teen pregnancy rate has been declining steadily over the last two decades which has been attributed to the combination of an increased percentage of adolescents who are waiting to have sexual intercourse and the increased use of contraceptives by teens. The teen pregnancy rate includes the pregnancies that end in a live birth, as well as those that end in abortion or miscarriage resulting from fetal loss. In the United States 4 in 10 teens get pregnant at least once before they reach the age of 20 which leads to the teenagers dropping out of school with more than 50% of teen mothers never completing school. The trends show that less than 10% of the fathers marry the mother of their child and that almost a half of the teen mothers get their second child within the first 24 months since 80% of teens who do not use protective methods have higher chances of becoming pregnant.
Teen birth rates have been declining significantly in the recent years, however, despite these declines, there still exists a lot of disparities that need to be properly addressed (Dessen, 2005). There are substantial disparities that persist in teen birth rates, and teen pregnancy and childbearing which continue to carry significant social and economic costs. In 2013, the Hispanic teen birth rates were still more than two times higher than the rate for ...

As a part of my contribution to Illinois’s Maternal Mortality review process, I was tasked to investigate the maternal mortality review committees, related literature, and other related reports of 26 states, plus Washington D.C. and Illinois. The goal of this project was to give my supervisors and IDPH staff an overview of what has worked, what isn’t working in terms of maternal mortality reduction recommendations in other states. In addition to including incidence rates, racial breakdowns, and other markers, I examined the methods that states used to present their maternal mortality data. The latter refers to graphics selections, terminology, and other creative considerations that might have been used to impact a reader’s connection and understanding of the issue in a state’s report.
It is important to acknowledge that not every state had an existing report. Furthermore, in my analysis I found that even for states with existing maternal mortality review committees, reports were not always readily accessible online. Moreover, every state with an existing review committee do not always have a list of recommendations. Therefore, the following summaries are a couple of examples from my complete 26 state analysis, featured on the states of Louisiana, North Carolina, New Jersey, and Ohio, as they were able to provide a direct list of official recommendations.
Ch. 2 Comparing Vulnerable Groups
Learning Objectives
After reading this chapter, you should be able to:
Explain the difference between curative and preventive approaches to health care.
Identify common factors among vulnerable populations.
Examine age as it relates to the concept of vulnerability.
Determine the ways in which gender contributes to vulnerability.
Discuss how culture and ethnicity affect vulnerability on both personal and population levels.
Explain the relationship between education and income levels, and vulnerability.
Introduction
The United States boasts one of the most robust health care systems in the world. It is statistically credited with the longer healthy lifetimes enjoyed by a majority of the American population. Advances in medical science and technology certainly improve medical interventions, but a recent change in the philosophy of medical care is credited with improving the population's health on a macro level. As the cost of health care in America soared during the 1990s and 2000s, the health care community's focus shifted from curative care to preventive medicine.
Curative medicine focuses on curing existing diseases and conditions. In contrast, preventive medicine works by educating the community on healthy lifestyle habits, such as regular exercise, nutritious food choices, and abstention from smoking. The idea is to prevent or forestall disease rather than wait until someone falls ill before providing treatment; however, living healthy lifestyles is still a personal choice. Studies indicate that preventive health care reduces morbidity, and that a preventive approach not only thwarts diseases that are associated with unhealthy choices, such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, but also creates strong immune systems to fight common illnesses like flu and cold viruses. Furthermore, people who do not get sick are more productive workers because they do not have as many sickness-related absences. This point is particularly important when considering vulnerable populations. For many people, especially those in the most at-risk groups, workdays lost to illness means days without pay. Financial instability detracts from a person's social status, which is a nonmaterial resource that contributes to vulnerability. Less social status means less access to community resources, such as health care and fresh foods. Lack of resource access leads to more illness, and so the cycle continues.
Many individuals have limited access to health care, which includes the inability to access medical clinics for reasons of proximity, the lack of insurance coverage, and financial constraints such as inability to pay for medical treatments. Preventive medicine focuses on educating people before they become ill, but resource accessibility restricts preventive medicine programs and responsive health care programs from reaching the most at-risk populations. Evidence of this is seen in data on topics like bre ...

2. Running Head: THE PILL TO END POVERTY
Abstract
Women’s inability to easily access quality health care, most specifically contraception,
exacerbates the cycle of poverty. This inability causes women to have more children per
household and begin childbearing at much younger ages, effectively putting up barriers to
higher education and therefore, better employment opportunities. By making
contraception accessible to at-risk young women, we would enable them to escape the
vicious cycles they are born into.
Keywords: contraception, poverty, women’s health care

3. Running Head: THE PILL TO END POVERTY
The Pill to End Poverty
In 1968, Arthur Campbell wrote an article for the Journal of Marriage and Family
titled ‘The Role of Family Planning in the Reduction of Poverty’. Within that article, he
summed up the real life implications a young woman faces when she suddenly finds
herself pregnant. “The girl who has an illegitimate child at the age of 16 suddenly has 90
percent of her life’s script written for her… Her life choices are few, and most of them
are bad.” (Campbell 1968) In the fight against poverty, many well-intentioned people
treat the surface problems instead of the root causes. It is easier and far more comfortable
to blame and point fingers than to invest in the study of which societal and systemic
issues actually need to be targeted. Research suggests that by improving reproductive
health for women and reducing the number of unintended pregnancies would reduce the
poverty level in every country (Sinding, 2005). Early childbearing exacerbates said
poverty cycle through lower educational rates for mother and child, lower workforce
participation leading to lower household incomes, and increased strain on government
assisted programs. This “perpetuates the 'feminisation of poverty' (this is the current
global trend whereby women increasingly and disproportionately are numbered among
those living in poverty)” (Otoo-Oyortey, 2003).
Affects on Education
The U.S. National Research council studied current risks to young women in American
society and concluded that not only does early childbearing put the mother at risk for
dropping out or not continuing to higher education, but that young mothers experience
other consequences, including but not limited to heightened probability of divorce or
single parenthood, less community involvement, and less potential for higher earnings in

the workplace (Greene and Merrick, 2005) Although drop out rates have decreased since
the 60’s and 70’s due to reforms in school policies about pregnant teens, the percentage
of young mothers who continue their education past high school has also decreased
(Greene and Merrick, 2005). In an age where an undergraduate degree is a dime a dozen,
the fact that only 40% of teenage mothers finish high school is alarming. Even more
disconcerting is that an even smaller number than that (less than 30%) go on to pursue
undergraduate degrees (National Conference of State Legislators, 2014). Results born
from studies performed by Levine and Painter in 2003 and then again in 2009 by Fletcher
and Wolfe, showed that not only do teen mothers have lower educational progress, but
they also work fewer hours and for lower wages than women who postpone childbearing.
These studies also showed that young mothers tend to choose partners who also have low
educational attainment and lower levels of economic success in the workplace (Paniagua
and Walker, 2012).
Secondary Effects (This whole paragraph/transition feels awkward. Help!)
The relationship between poverty and family size is difficult to assess. Researchers
consistently debate which causes which; Is a family in poverty because of how many
dependents they have, or are poorer families more likely to have more children since they
have less access to family planning methods? Either way, what is known is that increased
family size makes young couples more vulnerable to the effects of poverty, and may
actually be such a financial burden that they are unable to ever break the cycle.
Decreasing family size enables parents to invest more in each child’s nutrition, education,
and over all well-being (Sinding, 2005). Not surprisingly, increased family size is also
correlated with dependence on welfare. Twenty-five percent of families started due to
4
5. Running Head: THE PILL TO END POVERTY
teen pregnancy will be on welfare within the first three years (National Conference of
State Legislators, 2014). A study performed by the United Nations Population Fund
found that for every dollar invested in family planning, the United States government
saves $31. That would be a return ratio of over thirty-to-one. Not only that, but if the US
invested $4 billion into contraceptive methods, they would actually save money on health
care costs by preventing over 50 million unintended pregnancies and 22 million abortions
each year (UNFPA, 2006). Another economic benefit to family planning that is often
overlooked is the revenue a woman would be able to create given she have the ability to
postpone childbearing and join the workforce (UNFPA, 2006).
Conclusion
We have the capability to fight one of the root causes of poverty by providing the over
120 million women who want to postpone childbearing with access to contraception and
improved reproductive education. Early childbearing creates barriers for women that
exacerbate the poverty cycle and make it nearly impossible to escape. After motherhood,
a woman’s likelihood of continuing her education dramatically decreases. Since she then
possesses a lower educational level than many of her peers, she is unable to compete in
the job market, and is forced into low paying jobs that offer few opportunities for growth.
With low income comes an almost inevitable dependency on welfare, Medicaid, food
stamps, and other government funded assistance programs. In order to break this vicious
cycle, we must invest in the health and education of younger generations.
