Impacts of discretionary universal free school meal schemes on primary school children’s education attainment and school absence
Some areas of high child poverty offer free school lunch for all 4-11-year olds. • No effects were found on attainment or absence after 6 years of implementation. • Longest running schemes (7+ years) showed positive effects on reading and maths. • Scheme effects differed by local authority. Discretionary Universal Free School Meal (UFSM) schemes for 4-11-year-olds were implemented in four local authorities with high child poverty levels in London…
Does bribery increase maternal mortality? Evidence from 135 Sub-Saharan African regions
About 295,000 women died globally during and following pregnancy and childbirth in 2017. Two-thirds of these deaths occurred in Sub-Saharan Africa. By linking individual and regional data from 135 regions in 17 Sub-Saharan African countries over the period 2002–2018 this study explores how bribery affects maternal mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa. Our results show that the percentage of people who had first-hand experience in bribery is significan…
The association between Covid-19 policy responses and mental well-being
How the internet increases modern contraception uptake
BACKGROUND: Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries have the highest worldwide levels of unmet need for modern contraception. This has led to persistently high fertility rates in the region, rates which have had major adverse repercussions on the development potential there. Family planning programmes play a key role in improving the uptake of modern contraception, both by fostering women's health and by lowering their fertility. Increasing awareness…
Trends in the use of mind-altering drugs among European adolescents during the Great Recession
Thou Shalt not Smoke”
We provide a new identification strategy to analyse the implications of religious affiliation on unhealthful behaviour by focusing on the link between religiousness and smoking. Our quasi-experimental research design exploits the exogenous dramatic fall in religious affiliation that took place in East Germany after the post-war separation. Our conditional difference-in-differences estimates on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) for …
Does austerity really kill
The enduring influence of institutions on universal health coverage
Living arrangement and cognitive decline among older people in Europe
Family resources may play an important role in the wellbeing of older people. In this paper, we examine the association between living arrangement and cognitive decline among people over 65 living in different European countries. The underlined hypothesis is that living with others ( i.e. spouse or/and children) vis-à-vis living alone may have a positive role in maintaining cognitive functioning, but also that such beneficial influence varies acc…
