Gendered Power and the Use of Contraception and Condoms among Married Women in Ghana
Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data are used to examine what predicts current contraception and condom use among married women in Ghana. Women’s gender-based power is examined in the three dimensions of interpersonal decision-making power, household status, and socioeconomic status; these dimensions are considered as predictor or focal variables. Ghanaian women’s higher sexual decision-making power, greater education, work outside of the hom…

Living in the American South and the Likelihood of Having a Tubal Sterilization
This research uses a nationally representative sample of 7,643 American women from the public- and restricted-use National Survey of Family Growth, Cycle 6 data files and logistic regressions to model for the first time the relationship between having a tubal sterilization and southern region of residence. This research finds a disparity in reproductive health for southern women; women living in the South face about 1.5 greater odds of being ster…

Family Structure and Child Health Outcomes in the United States
We use categorical and logistic regression models to investigate the extent that family structure affects children's health outcomes at age five (i.e., child's type of health insurance coverage, the use of a routine medical doctor, and report of being in excellent health) using a sample of 4,898 children from the Fragile Families and Child Well-Being Study. We find that children with married biological parents are most likely to have private heal…
Social Focus on Health and Children's Well-being
This special section on children's health and well-being is an outgrowth of the 2010 International Sociological Association's (ISA) World Congress in Gothenburg, Sweden. Within the Congress, the Research Committee 53, Sociology of Childhood, organized a panel focused on the health and well-being of children. Together, this collection makes two distinct contributions: first in terms of considering children's health disparities as an area of concer…
Childhood in Sociology and Society
The field of childhood studies in the US is comprised of cross-disciplinary researchers who theorize and conduct research on both children and youth. US sociologists who study childhood largely draw on the childhood literature published in English. This article focuses on American sociological contributions, but notes relevant contributions from non-American scholars published in English that have shaped and fueled American research. This article…
Do Health Insurance and Residence Pattern the Likelihood of Tubal Sterilization among American Women
Breaking Singles Up
Using the National Health and Social Life Survey, we investigate sexual satisfaction by marital status and gender. We disaggregate the “single” category into “never-married” and “ever-married” individuals, rather than lumping never-married, divorced, separated, and widowed individuals into the “single” category. We argue that the use of a combined category neglects variation between never-married and ever-married single individuals due to differe…
American Identity and Attitudes Toward English Language Policy Initiatives
Relatively little is known about what individual-level factors drive Americans' attitudes toward offering services to immigrants. Using national-level data and logistic regressions, we examine what factors co-vary with whether respondents agree or disagree with specific policy initiatives regarding support for English language use for immigrants. We then examine what factors are related to whether respondents agree that tax money should be used t…

This International Volume of Sociological Studies of Children and Youth shows the breadth of current empirical research that focuses on children and youth around the world. Coming from a range of methodological and theoretical orientations, this volume showcases the lives of children and the policies that shape children's lives on five continents. Across these research articles, it becomes clear that we cannot continue to assume a certain meaning…
Child Labor in Sub-Saharan Africa
Although both media and scholarly attention to the use of child labor has focused on Asia and Latin America, the highest incidence of the practice is found in Africa, where one in three children works. Loretta Bass presents a comprehensive, systematic study of child labor in sub-Saharan Africa. Bass offers a window on the lives of Africa's children workers, a view informed by her analysis of the historical, economic, political, sociocultural, and…
