Using 360° immersive storytelling to engage communities with flood risk
Communities worldwide face escalating flood risks due to climate change, a fact that emphasises the critical role of flood preparedness in community flood resilience. Globally, flood risk is expected to double by 2050. In the United Kingdom, where this study is set, approximately one property in six is already at risk of flooding, with that figure set to increase significantly in coming decades. Children and young people are often overlooked in w…
Bonding time
Recovering from childbirth while trying to balance workplace demands and stretch financial resources creates multiple stressors in the lives of low-income families. New Jersey is one of only three states that offers Family Leave Insurance (FLI), a program that enables parents to leave their job to bond with and care for their new child with some financial support. However, survey research shows that FLI is underutilized by low-income populations.…

Approaches to African communication management and public relations
Most of the scholarly body of knowledge of public relations built up over the last three decades has been undertaken in Western countries. Naturally, these conceptual frameworks have been suited to those areas of the world. The focal point of the calls for a shift to a new, inclusive global economic order is the growing influence of the developing economies of the world. This, in turn, has important implications for public relations and communica…
The Changing Occupational Structure of Large Metropolitan Areas
This article examines employment trends in broad occupational categories during the 1986 to 1999 period for a group of 50 large United States metropolitan areas. After describing the secular trends, I estimate a cross-sectional model to quantify the effects of local industry mix and labor-saving technology on the occupational employment distribution in these urban areas. Despite quite heterogeneous occupational employment distributions among the …
High School Graduate Earnings in New York City
This article investigates gender and racial/ethnic wage gaps for high-school-educated residents of New York City. The study measures local skill requirements in detailed occupations and endeavors to control for space and skill as determinants of group earnings inequality. Wage earnings models show higher returns to observed skills for male high school graduates relative to women and for young white men relative to young black and Hispanic men. A …
Measuring Skills Mismatch
The author develops a new methodology to measure occupational skill requirements in New York City. The analysis matches locally derived skill ratings for detailed census occupations to years of local schooling and then estimates the change in mean skill requirements for employed New York City residents and the change in local employment of occupational skills classed by level of required education during the 1980s. The results show insignificant …
