Reducing private health expenditure in Greece: The case for regulated complementary health insurance
Greece records the highest level of private health expenditure in the European Union, driven largely by out-of-pocket payments that undermine financial protection and exacerbate inequities. Despite universal coverage, benefit gaps, cost-sharing arrangements, and limits in publicly financed service availability shift a substantial financial burden onto households. Within a dual insurance system, voluntary private health insurance frequently overla…
The Effect of a Single Bout of Chinese Archery on Core Executive Functions in Preadolescent Children in Shanghai
Recent literature has demonstrated that acute physical activity benefits the transfer of executive functions. However, further studies indicated the type of variability in the effect of physical activity on executive functions. Therefore, this study initially explored the effect of a single bout of Chinese archery on subdomains of core EFs in preadolescent children; Method: Eligible participants were allocated either an intervention group ( n = 3…
Becoming ‘Homo Economicus’ as Learned Behavior among Numerate Greek University Students
In this study, we use experimental methods to probe how far individuals depart from choices consistent with “Rational Economic Man” and whether these departures are associated with financial and numeric literature on the one hand, and, more fundamentally, with impulsive or analytical thinking—i.e., with cognitive reflection. We examine a purposely biased sample of Greek undergraduates enrolled in a course heavy on statistics and probability who p…
Living alone in South and Southeast Asia: An analysis of census data
Living alone (in a one-person household) has reached very high levels in some parts of the world. Across Asia the phenomenon is common in parts of East Asia, but has rarely been examined in South or Southeast Asia
The Changing Transitions to Adulthood across Southeast Asia: A Census Approach to Cross-National Comparisons
Using data from the national censuses of five Southeast Asian countries, this article examines entropy-based measures of the heterogeneity in a set of five markers of the transition to adulthood. Our results suggest that the transition to adulthood is becoming increasingly complex over time in all five countries; complexity is greatest for females, and important cross-national differences in heterogeneity levels and timing persist when underlying…
Emerging Forms of Union Formation in the Philippines: Assessing levels and social distributions
This paper draws on recent national survey data for the Philippines to examine changes in multiple indicators of the union formation and sexual systems, and then describes the social distributions of various aspects of those behaviors. Some features of the pattern echo the 'second demographic transition' as reported in many other parts of the globe. This includes rising levels of premarital sex and cohabitation, but notably excludes the virtual c…
Delayed Asian Transitions to Adulthood: A perspective from national youth surveys
1 1. The authors are the national survey directors and the AYARR (Asian Young Adult Reproductive Risk) international project co-ordinator. The authors’ names are listed in alphabetical order except for the senior author. Important events in the transition to adulthood are examined for young men and women in six Asian societies. Broad description of the pattern of many events is followed by a detailed consideration of event-sequences among school-…

Education, Occupational Prestige, and Income of Asian Americans
This article examines data from the 1980 census on the education, occupations, and personal income of various groups of Asian Americans in light of general hypotheses derived from assimilation, human capital, and structural theories. The results show that most Asian Americans are better educated than are whites, blacks, and Hispanics. But after other variables are introduced, only Japanese Americans approach income equity with whites. The Chinese…
