How Nordic is the Nordic model?: Social assistance in a comparative perspective
The Nordic countries are often perceived as representing a special type of welfare state. In this article we focus on arrangements directed towards poor and marginalized people, which in most countries are social assistance schemes. By comparing four dimensions of these arrangements in 24 countries, the salience, the level of benefit, institutional design and poverty alleviation, this article concludes that that it is difficult to distinguish a p…
Area Variations in the Prevalence of Lone Parent Families in England and Wales: A Research Note
Using data from the 1991 census, the authors explore some of the correlates of area variations in the prevalence of lone parent families in England and Wales. The primary factors associated with the prevalence of female-headed single-parent families were identified as unemployment and the proportion of the population identifying themselves as "Black
Area variations in infant mortality 1975-7
Infant mortality rates vary from area to area. Part of this variation is due to the socioeconomic characteristics of the area and part to other factors including the obstetric, paediatric, and community health services. Four social indicators associated with infant deaths are used to control for some of the variations in socioeconomic characteristics and residual variation is then examined. The four social indicators are the level of unemployment…
The income effect of a disabled child
Data from the General Household Survey were employed to compare the participation rates, hours worked, earnings, and net incomes of families with and without a disabled child. In families with a disabled child it was found that the spouse was significantly more likely to work the more children there were in the family and that income, and income as a proportion of supplementary benefit entitlement, was lower
Prevalence and characteristics of disabled children: Findings from the 1974 General Household Survey
In the absence of nationally representative data on the prevalence of disability among children, a special analysis of relevant data in the General Household Survey (GHS) was carried out. A long-standing illness, disability or infirmity was present in 7.6% of the children under 16 in the 1974 sample of the GHS. An assessment of the extent to which the children were disabled resulted in 10% of the children being classified as severe, 29% as modera…
Some Factors Contributing to Intelligence at Age of School Entry
This study reports the contribution of maternal general ability, some developmental milestones, early motor development, language development, and experiences to intelligence as measured at age five. The results confirm that there is a relatively low level of prediction of intelligence as the multiple correlation of all the independent variables is only 0-61. The implications of the low level of the variance of intelligence explained is discussed
