Examining Mental Health, Social Support and Resilience Among Immigrant Women Living with HIV in the British Columbia Carma-CHIWOS Collaboration (BCC3) Study
Delivery of the women-centred HIV care model in Canadian HIV clinics
The Women-Centred HIV Care (WCHC) Model addresses women living with HIV's multifaceted healthcare needs, but its delivery remains unclear. This environmental scan examines the delivery of the WCHC Model in Canadian HIV clinics. Clinics were surveyed on health service delivery, then scored out of 10 in the six domains of the WCHC Model using a service-based score system. Generally, on-site services were assigned more value than off-site referrals.…
Sexual Activity, Pleasure, and Testosterone
Sexual health research comparing women with and without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) often pathologizes women living with HIV, overlooking biopsychosocial factors that may drive differences between groups. Low testosterone levels have been reported among women living with HIV; however, how this may impact sexual health outcomes remains unclear. We compared the prevalence of sexual activity and sexual pleasure between women with and without …
Is the Bangladesh Paradox Sustainable?
Bangladesh is widely seen as a 'paradox'. Over the last quarter of a century, it has maintained economic growth and has outperformed many countries on social indicators while scoring very low on the quality of governance. Moreover, its economic progress does not seem to indicate significant improvement in comparative institutional indicators. Is the Bangladesh Paradox Sustainable? thus examines whether such a paradoxical combination can be sustai…

Should school fee abolition be comprehensive? An evaluation of Mozambique
Demographic, health, and economic transitions and the future care burden
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused millions of infections and deaths worldwide, forced schools to suspend classes, workers to work from home, many to lose their livelihoods, and countless businesses to close. Throughout this crisis, families have had to protect, comfort and care for their children, their elderly and other members. While the pandemic has greatly intensified family care responsibilities for families, unpaid care work has been a prima…
Life Expectancy at Birth and Lifetime Education and Earnings
Exploiting cross–birth cohort and cross-country variation from a pool of 188 household surveys from 111 countries, this paper measures how life expectancy at birth affects lifetime education and earnings. On average, individuals add one year of schooling for every 8.3 years of increased life expectancy at birth. Lifetime earnings increase by 1.7 percent per year of added life expectancy at birth. The estimates imply that rising life expectancy at…
Revisiting the relationship between longevity and lifetime education
Promoting multicultural literacies through game-based embodiment
Purpose This study aims to build on Gee’s (2003) earlier question exploring specifically the learning processes associated with broadening cultural empathy and exploring personal bias through gameplay in the role-playing game, Oblivion
Designing After-School Learning Using the Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game
Digital games have become popular for engaging students in a range of learning goals, both in the classroom and the after-school space. In this article, I discuss a specific genre of video game, the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMO), which has been identified as a dynamic environment for encountering 21st-century workplace skills (King, 2012). Rather than advocating for bringing MMOs directly into the classroom to deliver conte…
Economic Freedom, Human Rights, and the Returns to Human Capital
In 1975 Theodore W. Schultz suggested that the returns to human capital are highest in economic environments experiencing unexpected price, productivity, and technology shocks that create “disequilibria.” In such environments, the ability of firms and individuals to adapt their resource allocations to shocks becomes most valuable. In the case of negative shocks, government policies that mitigate the impact of the shock will also limit the returns…
Digital literacies for the disengaged
Purpose This paper aims to reviews the structure and format of an after school incubator program that leverages online games for literacy learning, particularly for adolescent males. It also aims to describe its dual function as both quasi‐natural context and design experiment laboratory and to discuss some early findings that illustrate the kinds of literacy practices the authors are beginning to see within their homegrown community to date. Des…
Not just a dollhouse
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe how a popular computer game, The Sims2, engages players in computing practices that are foundational to information technology (IT) fluency, and to draw implications for engaging young people, particularly girls and women, in computer‐related learning. Design/methodology/approach The analysis is framed within a conceptual perspective on learning as a process of acquiring situated understandings thr…
Family Background, Service Providers, and Early Childhood Development in the Philippines
We examine the importance of family background for early childhood development (ECD) using data collected in 2001 from 3,556 children ages 0–36 months in three regions of the Philippines. We focus on four main research questions: (1) Are associations of family background with ECD in part proxying for health and ECD‐related programs? (2) Are associations of family background with ECD biased due to omission of unobserved community characteristics t…

Market Returns, Transfers and Demand for Schooling in Malaysia, 1976-89
If parents expect higher market returns to schooling or additional transfers from their children, they invest more in their children’s schooling. Results from models of schooling demand using data from the Malaysian Family Life Surveys of 1976 and 1989 suggest that market returns of mothers but not fathers positively affected schooling. The propensity for parents to spend time with their parents had a small positive effect on education of daughte…
Vouchers for Private Schooling in Colombia
Colombia used lotteries to distribute vouchers which partially covered the cost of private secondary school for students who maintained satisfactory academic progress. Three years after the lotteries, winners were about 10 percentage points more likely to have finished 8th grade, primarily because they were less likely to repeat grades, and scored 0.2 standard deviations higher on achievement tests. There is some evidence that winners worked less…

Women's education and economic well-being
Evidence across regions in the world reveals patterns in school enrollment ratios and literacy that are divided along gender lines. In the developing world, apart from most countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, enrollment ratios of girls lag behind those for boys at all levels of education. Worldwide literacy rates for adult men far exceed those for women. While educational progress has been enjoyed by both sexes, these advances have fail…
