Why understanding multiplex social network structuring processes will help us better understand the evolution of human behavior
Social scientists have long appreciated that relationships between individuals cannot be described from observing a single domain, and that the structure across domains of interaction can have important effects on outcomes of interest (e.g., cooperation; Durkheim, 1893). One debate explicitly about this surrounds food sharing. Some argue that failing to find reciprocal food sharing means that some process other than reciprocity must be occurring,…
Resilience by structural entrenchment: Dynamics of single-layer and multiplex networks following sudden changes to tie costs
We examine a model of network formation in single-layer and multiplex networks in which individuals have positive incentives for social ties, closed triangles, and spillover edges. In particular, we investigate the influence of shocks to the network in which the cost of social ties changes after an initial equilibrium. We highlight the emergence of structural entrenchment : the retention of structural features, such as closed triangles and spillo…

Unsociable Work? Nonstandard Work Schedules, Family Relationships, and Children's Well-Being
Many children live in families where one or both parents work evenings, nights, or weekends. Do these work schedules affect family relationships or well-being? Using cross-sectional survey data from dual-earner Canadian families (N= 4,306) with children aged 2 - 11 years (N= 6,156), we compared families where parents worked standard weekday times with those where parents worked nonstandard schedules. Parents working nonstandard schedules reported…

Role of Health-Seeking Behaviour in Child Mortality in the Slums of Karachi, Pakistan
The role of family health-seeking behaviour in under-five-year child mortality was explored through the combined approach of examining health-seeking behaviour regarding treatment generally, and in specific in relation to illness before death. A population-based case control study was carried out during the period 1993–1994 using 222 deaths from diarrhoea and acute respiratory illness (ARI) in children under five years of age in six slums of Kara…
The Continuing Demographic Transition
From the perspective of human society, one of the most significant occurrences of the twentieth century has been the demographic transition -- the movement from tragic and wastefully high death and birth rates to low rates in many countries. Many other countries, however, are still at only the early or intermediate stages of this process. In these countries, means need to be found to accelerate the transition. This book brings new evidence to bea…
Housing and Environmental Factors and Their Effects on the Health of Children in the Slums of Karachi, Pakistan
To examine the association of environmental factors (including housing) with respiratory infections and diarrhoea in children under 5 years of age, a cross-sectional study of 403 families was conducted in a squatter settlement of Karachi. In the 2-week period before the survey prevalence of diarrhoea and respiratory infections was 14·4% and 15·0% respectively. The factors significantly associated ( p >0·05) with diarrhoea in households in the mul…
