Childhood underweight in Ethiopia
Objectives Underweight in children under 5 years of age is defined as a weight-for-age z -score (WAZ) of less than −2 standard deviations (−2SD) from the median of the World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards (CGS). This study examines the effect of socio-demographic covariates and geographical covariates on underweight, as well as the flexible trends of metrical covariates, to identify communities at a high risk of underweight. Met…
Neighborhood-level heterogeneity in childhood morbidity through generalized linear mixed models
Objective: Childhood morbidities are crucial for improving long-term public health outcomes. This study aimed to examine the existence of child-specific and regional variation in childhood morbidity based on the cross-cutting study of the Performance Monitoring for Action Ethiopia community survey (PMA-ET), and its relationship to socioeconomic and demographic variables in families. Methods: We enrolled 2,581 children suffering from different ill…
Between staying and leaving
The depopulation of Italian mountain areas, particularly in the so-called “inner areas”, represents a significant socio-demographic challenge. This study investigates the dynamics of depopulation in four Sicilian municipalities - Novara di Sicilia, Castroreale, San Fratello, and Ucria - characterized by economic marginalization and demographic decline. Using a qualitative approach based on focus groups, we analyze the perceptions, challenges, and…
How perceived well-being determinants differ for immigrants and natives in Italy
Economic expectations and anxiety during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has produced an extensive aggravation of people’s anxiety level. Different policies aimed at fighting the spread of the virus could affect anxiety in various ways. We built an ad hoc web-based survey, administered to the student population of three Italian universities at the beginning of the pandemic and at one year’s distance, to collect information on retrospective and current anxiety levels and the underlining reasons. T…
The Causes and Factors Associated with Infant Mortality Rate in Ethiopia
Infant mortality rate is a proxy measure of population health. Previous studies on the infant mortality rate in Ethiopia did not consider measurement errors in the measured variables and had a one-directional effect; little emphasis was placed on testing multiple causal paths at the same time. We used structural equation modelling for a better understanding of the direct, indirect, and total effects among causal variables in a single model. A pat…
Selectivity of Bargaining and the Effect of Retirement on Labour Division in Italian Couples
The discrimination decomposition index
Purpose This article deals with the impact of ethnic origin on individual employability, focussing on the first stage of the hiring process. Deeply, the authors’ goal is to fathom whether there is a preference for native job candidates over immigrants, decomposing the discrimination against minority groups into its statistical and taste-based components by means of a new approach. Design/methodology/approach The authors built up a data set by mea…
Weight-Based Discrimination in the Italian Labor Market
Access to the Italian job market is undermined by several kinds of discrimination influencing the opportunities for individuals to obtain a job. In this study, we analyze together the impact of three of the most relevant kinds of discrimination operating in the Italian labor market: gender, race, and weight. Our aim is to assess whether gender and race either increase or decrease the impact of weight-based discrimination. In this respect, we subm…
