Intimate Person Violence and Child Deprivation in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Nearly one in three women lives in a relationship where she is exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV), with the wife as the victim and the husband as the perpetrator. Beyond the imperative to prevent violence against women for their own well-being, IPV also has substantial effects on children. This study examines the associations between mothers’ experiences of IPV and three indicators reflecting fundamental aspects of child deprivation—morta…
Is Democracy Associated with Reduction of Poverty, Child Mortality and Child Deprivation in Low-income Countries
Is democracy related to lower poverty rates and better living conditions for children in developing countries? Multiple sources have confirmed that living conditions in low- and middle-income countries have improved significantly during the past decade. This development coincides with a period of economic growth and, until recently, a trend towards increasing democratization of many of the world’s political systems. In the present paper, we use d…
Work despite poor health? A 14-year follow-up of how individual work accommodations are extending the time to retirement for workers with poor health conditions
Given many OECD countries' efforts to extend their citizens' working years, research underscores the importance of work accommodations to maintain older workers and enable them to work despite poor health or declines in physical functions. Nevertheless, few studies have investigated the associations between poor health conditions and opportunities to accommodate work in accordance with individual needs and preferences. In this study, we different…
Apoe ε4 and the long arm of social inequity
It is well established that carriers of the apolipoprotein E ( APOE ) ε4 allele run a greater risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia and a strongly age-related condition known to disproportionally affect women. Low educational attainment also stands out as a prominent risk factor, and it has been suggested that occupational class plays a similar role in disease susceptibility. Not yet fully explored, however, is …
Socioeconomic status, gender and dementia
It is a well-established fact that unfavourable social and economic conditions have a negative impact on health and longevity. Recent findings suggest that this is also true of age-related dementias. Yet most common indicators of socioeconomic status (SES) say very little about the actual mechanisms at play in disease development. The present paper explores five work exposure characteristics, all of which have a clear social gradient, that could …
The more gender equity, the less child poverty? A multilevel analysis of malnutrition and health deprivation in 49 low- and middle-income countries
Facing Trajectories from School to Work
In-work poverty and labour market trajectories
Is in-work poverty a low-wage or an unemployment problem, and is it the same problem all across Europe? Because of the definitional ambiguity, we really do not know. In this article, we use longitudinal European Union-Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) data from 22 countries and derive a set of distinct clusters of labour market trajectories (LMTs) from information about monthly labour market position from a 36-month observation…
Bad Governance and Poor Children
Gender inequality from beyond the grave
The present article integrates research on spousal loss among older people and research on intra-household income distribution and relates pre-loss intra-household distribution of incomes to post-loss wellbeing. Data are drawn from the Swedish Panel Survey of Ageing and the Elderly (PSAE) and consist of couples that were married in the mid-1990s (N=1,503) and that were either still married (N=1,262) or who had experienced spousal loss (N=241) in …
The Multi-dimensional Characteristics of Wellbeing
What Do Children Know About Their Futures
Are children's statements about their futures related to outcomes in middle age? In 1966 almost 13,500 children ages 12–13 were asked whether they thought their futures would be worse, similar or better as compared to others of their own age. It was shown that children with low, and surprisingly high, expectations did suffer from increased mortality, economic hardship and weak labor market attachment risks in middle age. Although it cannot be rul…
A longitudinal analysis of the relationship between changes in socio-economic status and changes in health
Ill, worried or worried sick? Inter-relationships among indicators of wellbeing among older people in Sweden
This study examined the associations between a large set of health indicators and wellbeing among older people (aged 66 or more years) in Sweden. The data were drawn from the Swedish Panel Survey of Ageing and the Elderly (PSAE), with variables covering information about health, daily activities, social interaction, anxieties and worries, and economic hardship. A series of confirmative factor analyses were used to reveal if and how indicators of …
Accumulation of Welfare Problems in a Longitudinal Perspective
Poverty, welfare problems and social exclusion
This article investigates whether, and to what degree, poverty is linked to other types of welfare problems and, in larger perspective, whether the situation can be understood in terms of social exclusion. Two different measures of poverty – income poverty and deprivation poverty – and 17 indicators of welfare problems were used in the analysis. It was shown that income poverty was rather weakly related to other types of welfare problems, i.e. th…
Relative deprivation
Our aim is to analyse both the incidence and distribution of economic hardship in three countries - Finland, Britain and Sweden - using measures of relative deprivation. The study represents a unique endeavour as our comparisons are based not on income data but on direct observations of consumption of goods and services. The method applied has been developed from the consensual poverty approach pioneered by Mack and Lansley (1985). Hence, what we…
Youth Problem
The questions addressed in this study are: first, what factors determine the economic situation among the young, and, second, what aspects in youth have a long-term impact on their economic situation as adults? The empirical analysis builds on a three-wave panel covering a period of 16 years. Growth curve modelling is used to estimate changes over time. The main results are: Young people's incomes say little about their current standard of living…
Sour Grapes
One frequently used direct measure of deprivation and poverty is the objective relative deprivation index (O-RDindex), developed by Mack and Lansley (1985). One assumption underlying the O-RDindex is that respondents can distinguish between what that they cannot afford and what they do not want. This assumption contradicts the subjective usage of the concept relative deprivation (S-RD), which suggests a connection between economic circumstances, …
Sharing of Housework and Money Among Swedish Couples
The article deals with issues of intra-household sharing of work and money. The point of departure is taken from well-established theories about spouses’ relative market productivity, bargaining power and economic dependency. Data are from 1998 and were taken from a sample of Swedish households. A number of specific hypotheses were tested using structural modelling. Support for the tested theories was meagre. It could not be shown that difference…
What I Need and What the Poor Deserve
In this article, people's assessment of an adequate poverty line is contrasted against the minimum income they can accept for themselves. The analyses are related to theoretical assumptions about adaptation of preferences, risk exposure, and welfare-state attitudes. It is shown that adaptation of preference increases the “evaluation gap” between the two measures. Risk exposure generally does not lead to a more generous evaluation of the poverty l…
The Crucial Aspects of Class
Class structure and class formation are two crucial aspects of class. The former relates to differences in market positions and the latter concerns social factors such as interaction, mobility and class action. This paper is based on Swedish data covering the period from 1975 to 1995. Analysis reveals a persistent class hierarchy and that there is no trend towards declining class differences regarding market position. The situation is better desc…
Economic standard of living
This article has two main objectives. First, to analyse the distribution of economic standard over time in a section of the Swedish population born between 1911 and 1959. Second, to study to what degree labour market position, life cycle events and gender affect this distribution. The empirical analysis uses panel data from the Swedish survey of living conditions gathered in 1979, 1987 and 1995. The concept ‘economic standard’ refers not only to …
Deprivation and Poverty
This paper represents an attempt to compare the incidence of relative deprivation and poverty in Sweden and Great Britain. The study goes beyond the limitations of traditional income-based comparisons and the method applied builds on Mack & Lansley's (1985) direct consensual definition of deprivation. The analyses show that deprivation is more prevalent and more unevenly distributed in Britain compared with Sweden. However, more detailed analyses…
The Truly Poor
The analysis presented in this article is based on two different concepts of poverty; the direct consensual definition developed by Mack and Lansley (1985) and the indirect consensual definition established by Godehart et al (1977). The distinction between indirect and direct definitions of poverty is well establtshed within the field of poverty research. However, it is argued here that the usefulness of this dividing line can be questioned both …

Making Ends Meet in Australia and Sweden
The subjective poverty line methodology derives a poverty line from responses to a question asking people how much money they need in order to make ends meet. In this paper, we explore the relevance and implications of this approach using sample survey data for Australia and Sweden derived specifically for this purpose. We apply identical techniques to the two sets of data and compare and contrast the resulting poverty lines, before exploring the…
