The Measurement of Racial Colorblindness
Although there is consensus that the intergroup ideology of multiculturalism is negatively related to prejudice and that assimilation is positively related to prejudice, research regarding the relationship of racial colorblindness to prejudice has produced mixed results. We investigated whether these mixed results might stem from colorblindness being a multifaceted construct despite typically being treated as unidimensional. Exploratory and confi…
Family Planning and Women’s and Children’s Health
We analyze the impact of an experimental maternal and child health and family planning program that was established in Matlab, Bangladesh, in 1977. Village data from 1974, 1982, and 1996 suggest that program villages experienced a decline in fertility of about 17 %. Household data from 1996 confirm that this decline in “surviving fertility” persisted for nearly two decades. Women in program villages also experienced other benefits: increased birt…

Wage Gains Associated with Height as a Form of Health Human Capital
Height is consulted as a latent indicator of early nutrition and lifetime health status. Height is observed to increase in recent decades in populations where per capita national income has increased and public health activities have grown. Height is determined by genetic make up and realized in part through satisfactory nutrition and health related care and conditions. Alternative instrumental variables (IV) are explored which proxy price and in…

Association of Divorce with Socio-Demographic Covariates in China, 1955-1985
Based on a unique data set on the event history of marriage and divorce collected in the In-Depth Fertility Surveys conducted in Shanghai, Shaanxi, and Hebei in 1985 and a multivariate hazards model, this paper investigates the association between divo
Health and Schooling Investments in Africa
Intercountry comparisons show Africa's health and education falls short of other regions, controlling for income, women's educations, and urbanization, but growth regressions do not clarify whether this low human capital caused slow growth. Microeconometric estimates of wage returns to schooling and health indicate relatively attractive private returns in several sub-Saharan countries, although data are severely limited. Biases due to household h…

Labor Unions and the Distribution of Wages and Employment in South Africa
Few countries have higher wage inequality than South Africa, where wages of African and white workers differ by a factor of five. Using survey data collected in 1993, the authors analyze the complex effect of unions on this wage gap. Among male African workers in the bottom decile of the wage distribution, union membership was associated with wages that were 145% higher than those of comparable nonunion workers, and among those in the top decile …
Chapter 8 Demand for children in low income countries
This chapter outlines the economic models for understanding the empirical regularities in fertility in low-income countries. Applications of microeconomics to understand the demand for children emphasize several special aspects of children. Their cost to parents is affected by the opportunity cost of the time of mothers, who in most societies contribute a disproportionate share of their time to child rearing. Demand models predict and empirical s…
Wage and labor supply effects of illness in Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana
Sickness should make individuals less productive, but there are problems in measuring this effect. First, how is adult morbidity measured in a household survey? Second, how is the impact or morbidity on productivity inferred, if earning is partly used to improve health? Self-reported functional activity limitation due to illness is considered an indicator of morbidity for wage earners and self employed people. To deal with both the measurement an…

Investments in Women's Human Capital
How are human capital investments allocated between women and men? What are the returns to investments in women's nutrition, health care, education, mobility and training? Presenting 13 empirical analyses, this text explores the nature of human capital distributions to women and their effect on outcomes within the family. The first section considers the experiences of high-income countries, examining topics such as: the limitations of industriali…

Testing the Neoclassical Model of Family Labor Supply and Fertility
The McElroy-Horney Nash-bargaining model of family demand behavior relaxed the restriction that nonearned income of husband and wife has the identical effect on family labor supply and commodity demands.This restriction of the neoclassical model of family behavior is tested for the determination of husband and wife labor supply and fertility based on the 1981 Socioeconomic Survey of Thailand.The neoclassical restriction is rejected for female lab…

Estimating a Household Production Function
The household production literature emphasizes that technical or biological processes condition input selection by households in their production activities, along with prices and income. Exogenous variations in health, to the extent that they are perceived by individuals (heterogeneity), lead to correlations between inputs and health outcomes that cannot be used to derive causal conclusions. Therefore, estimates of health technology must be obta…

Regional Inequality and Other Sources of Income Variation in Colombia
[Excerpt] Regional inequality is of interest for a variety of reasons: planning development policies aimed at alleviating poverty and reducing personal inequality, gauging the degree of a country's labor market integration, understanding patterns of population movement in general and labor force migration in particular, predicting future urbanization, and characterizing the poor. Policymakers often aim development programs at particular target gr…
Retrospective evidence of a decline of fertility and child mortality in Bangladesh
A detailed analysis of survey data collected in 1961–1962 for a sample of 4200 families in central East Pakistan produced consistent and reasonable estimates of birth and death rates for the preceding decade. Extremely high levels of infant and child mortality declined noticeably in the period 1952–1961. Age-specific birth rates to married women also decreased in the decade for women over the age of 19, while a small increase was recorded for mar…
Secular Equalization and Cyclical Behavior of Income Distribution
CLASSIC studies by Kuznets have found that in more developed countries the size distribution of income among persons and among families has become less unequal during the twentieth century [15, 16]. The significance and magniture of this secular equalization of personal incomes can be estimated from time series only when cyclical behavior of the distribution of income is statistically separated from secular trend.' A purpose of this investigation…

Rural-Urban Migration in Colombia
T HIS study attempts to explore the causes of internal migration in Colombia. Migration rates are first estimated for various groups in the population to clarify who migrates and to where. A model of interregional migration is then set forth and estimated for a sample of Colombian municipalities, from which we can infer the responsiveness of migration to some economic, demographic and political developments in the rural and urban sectors of the s…
