Hospital Community Benefit in Rural Appalachia: One More Gap
Non-profit hospitals are important anchors in Appalachian communities, in part because of the concentration of health care dollars within these institutions. Community benefit efforts of these hospitals, therefore, have the potential to fill gaps in public health and social service provision in underserved areas with documented health disparities and access barriers. To date, however, we do not fully understand how community benefit practices var…

Is What's Best for Dads Best for Families? Paternity Leave Policies and Equity Across Forty-Four Nations
In a global economy, paternity leave policies represent one of the most significant expansions of the welfare state that seek to help fathers respond to socio-economic pressures on their work and families.

Nevertheless, scholars have limited understanding of who benefits…

The Preconditions and Consequences of Social Movement Actions: Opinions of Immigrant Assimilation among Local Polity Members in France
A new branch of the social movements literature calls attention to the lack of research on the unintended consequences rather than intended outcomes of social movements. This paper examines one of these potential unintended consequences: negative attitudes toward the intended beneficiaries of the movement. The paper departs from past analysis of public opinion, however, by focusing on the views of local polity members. Specifically, the paper ana…
Rights and ratios? Evaluating the relationship between social rights and immigration
Since 1960 citizens of many industrialised democracies have obtained greater rights, including access to social welfare programmes. Several countries have also offered similar rights to immigrants. Some researchers hypothesise that, as a result of extending rights to immigrants, these countries face constraints in relation to the reduction of immigration flows. We evaluate this rights-based hypothesis by comparing long-term immigration of childre…
