Inequalities in access to higher education in Africa
Education systems, examination and failure
This article reports on a small case study of the impact of instructional materials on students, and the impact of high-stakes testing in Kenya on those who fail; who, because there is very limited employment, are potentially open to radicalisation. The setting is secondary schools in Kenya which, after the 1998 attacks by al-Quaeda and later inter- and intra-community conflicts during the 2008 election, has seen a resurgence in externally sponso…
Analysing girls’ educational performance in developing countries
It has often been lamented that girls are more likely not to attend or to drop-out (for example, because of gender preference by the parents, insecurity, pregnancy, amongst many other postulated fa

Non-Household Populations
Data from household surveys have increasingly been used as a basis for social policy. They are generally inappropriate for obtaining information about the poorest, and therefore for policies concerned with tackling poverty and deprivation. They omit certain groups by design: the homeless; those in institutions; and mobile, nomadic or pastoralist populations. In addition, in practice, they typically under-represent those in fragile, disjointed or …

Measuring development progress in Africa
In developing countries, assessments of progress towards development goals are based increasingly on household surveys. Typically, they omit by design: the homeless; those in institutions; and mobile, nomadic or pastoralist populations. Moreover, in practice household surveys typically underrepresent: those in fragile, disjointed households; slum populations and areas posing security risks. Those six subgroups constitute a large fraction of the “…
Missing Millions and Measuring Development Progress
Finding and then counting out-of-school children
In developing countries, population estimates and assessments of progress towards the Millennium Development Goals are based increasingly on household surveys. It is not recognised that they are inappropriate for obtaining information about the poorest of the poor. Typically, they omit by design: those not in households because they are homeless; those who are in institutions; and mobile, nomadic or pastoralist populations. In addition, in practi…
The attitudes of primary schoolchildren in Northern Thailand towards their peers who are affected by HIV and Aids
After more than a decade of the AIDS epidemic in Thailand, the number of children whose parents are living with HIV or have died from AIDS is increasing significantly and it has been reported that these children are often discriminated against by their peers. In order to better understand the current situation and to explore possible strategies to support HIV-affected children, this study examined children's attitudes towards HIV and AIDS using q…
Tackling the drivers of child undernutrition in developing countries
Objective The present paper presents a synthesis of available evidence to support action on the interventions that can effectively address the main drivers of child undernutrition in developing countries. It also discusses how interventions should be designed and identifies policy-relevant areas for further research. Design A structured literature review of fifty-eight controlled evaluations and studies in developing countries were selected becau…
Breaking down the wall of silence around children affected by Aids in Thailand to support their psychosocial health
This study examines the psychosocial needs of the children affected by AIDS. Eight primary school children aged 10-13 years who lost parents to AIDS or whose parents were living with HIV were closely followed for a period of one year and qualitative data on the psychosocial challenges they faced were collected using semi-structured interviews, observation, drawings and diaries. Data were also collected from their caregivers and classroom teachers…

Establishing the economics of engaging communities in health promotion
Over the last 30 years, there has been a growing recognition of the potential for community-based efforts to improve public health. However, the costs and ?added value? of community engagement approaches remain unclear. This paper reports findings from a systematic review of the economic evidence relating to planning design, delivery or governance of health promotion interventions. Key databases were searched, review bibliographies were checked a…

Developing a robust resource allocation formulae for police
With increasing decentralisation, the way in which central government resources are allocated between geographical areas for different services is of increasing importance. Procedures currently used by the English Home Office to allocate resources, based on regression analyses of data at the level of the Police Authorities, are flawed, because the variations between Authorities are more likely to be a reflection of historical variations in polici…
The state of cooking in England
This article uses data from the 1993 Health and Lifestyles Survey of England to present findings on how, why and when people use cooking skills; where and from whom people learn these skills. The implications for policy are explored. The survey data suggests that socio‐economic status and education are associated with the sources of people’s knowledge about cooking. The first or prime source of learning about cooking skills was reported to be mot…
The Determinants of Expenditure on Children's Personal Social Services
This paper reports the results of a statistical study of the determinants of expenditure on children's social services in twenty-five local authorities in England. The study was commissioned as part of the Government's review of Standard Spending Assessments for Personal Social Services. The study combined data from a variety of sources, including local authority registers, to infer the distribution of expenditure between 1,036 small areas with p…

Is enumeration district level an improvement on ward level analysis in studies of deprivation and health
AIM--To investigate whether enumeration district (ED) level data reflect the aggregate characteristics of people living in that district better than ward level analysis. DESIGN AND SETTING--Reanalysis of the fourth national morbidity survey in general practice (MSGP4). Socioeconomic data on patients who had consulted 60 practices over one year were linked via postcode to ED and thence to small area statistics data for that ED and to the correspon…

Socio-demographic Variations in the Sex composition and Preferences of Aberdeen families
In contrast to early studies of parental preference for the sex of their offspring which showed an over-riding son preference in terms of both the expressed desires for a male infant and of the sex ratio of completed families, more recent studies show that the desire for a balance of sexes outweighs the preference for a particular sex. A recent attitude survey in the UK (Dunnell, 1979) confirms this and also claims to find no difference in the pa…

Birthweight and reproductive careers
It is generally thought that birthweight varies with the sex of the infant, gestational age and parity; there is, however, some controversy as to whether birthweight increases monotonically with parity. Further, some have suggested that maternal height and social class are also important, whilst earlier authors stressed the importance of genetic factors. This paper re-examines these relationships on the basis of an analysis of data on 6472 women …

The Inequalities in Health Debate
There has been an ongoing dispute about inequalities in health ever since the suppressed publication of the Black Report in 1980. It has recently been given a new edge by three publications: the proceedings of an SSRC Workshop held in November 1983 and the Registrar General's Decennial Supplement for 1979–1983, and another half-suppressed report, this time from Health Education Council. The first and third broadly claim that inequalities in healt…
Immigrants in the French System of Criminal Justice
The place of immigrants in the French system of criminal justice can only be understood in the context of the history of post‐war France. Since 1956, developments in the prison population and the flux of immigration have been dominated by the 'Algerian probleme. After the Evian agreements were signed in 1962 there was a period of ‘free’ and massive, immigration until 1974. Since then the volume of legislation rivals and probably surpasses the Bri…

Time Trends in Inequalities in Health
The conventional belief since the publication of the Black Report is that social inequalities in health have been increasing since 1931–32 although it has been argued that the measure of inequality used is inappropriate. All analyses have been based on mortality rates which, in large part, reflect inequalities in health over the previous 50 years and not current trends. This paper argues that time trends should be assessed with a current health s…
