  • Sobre os conceitos de existência (Existentialität) e facticidade (Faktizität) em Ser e Tempo

    Open AccessR Castro, Rafael Ribeiro De Souza CastroARTICLERevista DIAPHONÍA2025

    O presente artigo tem como tema e obejtivo principal, tratar dos conceitos de Existência (Existentialität) e Facticidade (Faktizität) em Ser e Tempo, obra do filosofo Martin Heidegger. Por isso, o texto explora também o conceito de ser-aí (Dasein), definido como o ente que possibilita a compreensão do ser, integrando dimensões ontológica, que fundamentam o ser e ôntica, que está ligado ao âmbito existencial. O ser-aí se caracteriza pelo poder-ser…

  • Health, childlessness and poverty in Latin American countries

    Open AccessR Castro, J TapiaARTICLECadernos de Saude Publica2021Citada por: 1Referencias: 27

    Recent literature proposes that poverty could lead women to remain childless, thus attenuating or reverting higher fertility typically observed among women of lower schooling level. We explore the role of health in this approach: does health have a distinctive detrimental effect on fertility among women of lower schooling levels? To that end, we compute the gap in the definite childlessness rate by self-reported disability status across schooling…

  • Modelo cuantitativo para mejorar el financiamiento de la atención primaria en Chile

    Open AccessR Castro, Rubén Estanislao Castro et al.ARTICLERevista Panamericana de Salud…2017

    Objective. Propose and apply a methodology to estimate adjusted expected expenditure in each locality in the Chilean primary health care (PHC) system in 2016. Methods. First of all, expected per capita expenditure at the national level was calculated on the basis of a detailed health plan, and then a zero-sum adjustment was made to the expenditure in each locality, using the local age/sex profile and the local average socioeconomic level, years o…

  • Income inequality and adolescent fertility in low-income countries

    Open AccessR Castro, Eduardo FajnzylberARTICLECadernos de Saude Publica2017Referencias: 21

    The well-known socioeconomic gradient in health does not imply that income inequality by itself has any effect on well-being. However, there is evidence of a positive association between income inequality and adolescent fertility across countries. Nevertheless, this key finding is not focused on low-income countries. This study applies a multilevel logistic regression of country-level adolescent fertility on country-level income inequality plus i…

  • Is financial literacy an economic good

    R Castro, Andrés Mario Fortunato Mankoch et al.ARTICLECEPAL review2016Referencias: 1

    Financial literacy (FL) is generally regarded as an economic good which individuals choose whether or not to consume depending on how much of a contribution they expect it to make to the quality of their financial decision-making. This construct has not, however, been tested empirically. In this study we analyse variations in FL on the part of individuals who experience major life-cycle events that show up in the data and that can be assumed to h…

  • Late-Entry-Into-Motherhood Women Are Responsible for Fertility Recuperation

    Open AccessR CastroARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2015

    In countries where age at parenthood has shifted to older ages, a necessary precondition for fertility recuperation is that women having their first child later in life (after age 30) will also eventually achieve a higher completed fertility, compared with the previous cohorts. This study analysed the changes in age-at-first-child-conditional fertility rates in Western Europe through three birth cohorts (1936–1940, 1946–1950 and 1956–1960). It wa…

  • The evolution of the socioeconomic gap in fertility among adolescents in Chile, 1990-2011

    Open AccessR CastroARTICLECadernos de Saude Publica2015Referencias: 3

    For research and policy issues, it is very important to measure the evolution of socioeconomic differences in the adolescent fertility rate over time (AFER) in order to be able to provide a quantitative description of such an evolution. By combining well reputed Chilean data, this study computes a ratio of AFER (15-17 years-old) between the 30% of the population living in economically worst off areas (the numerator) against the corresponding 30% …

  • Global, regional, and national levels and causes of maternal mortality during 1990–2013

  • Global, regional, and national levels of neonatal, infant, and under-5 mortality during 1990–2013

    Open AccessHaidong Wang, Chelsea A Liddell et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2014

    BACKGROUND: Remarkable financial and political efforts have been focused on the reduction of child mortality during the past few decades. Timely measurements of levels and trends in under-5 mortality are important to assess progress towards the Millennium Development Goal 4 (MDG 4) target of reduction of child mortality by two thirds from 1990 to 2015, and to identify models of success. METHODS: We generated updated estimates of child mortality i…

  • Inconsistent Respondents and Sensitive Questions

    Open AccessR CastroARTICLECAM2013Citada por: 3Referencias: 21

    This article focuses on respondents as the source of measurement error, regardless of the question being asked, interviewer effects, or other factors that influence survey quality. Some individuals simply provide poorer answers as a result of a behavior called satisficing. An especially troublesome case is that of sensitive questions, where misreporting is common. In the study reported here, a significant role was found for individual-level time …

  • Educational differences in chronic conditions and their role in the educational differences in overall mortality

    Open AccessR CastroARTICLEDemographic Research2012Referencias: 26

    Demographers use different models to decompose the prevalence of given health conditions. This article discusses how these models can help us understand the ways in which these conditions affect overall mortality. In particular, this framework can be u
