Association of remittances with skilled delivery in Uganda, 2019/2020
There are significant disparities in maternal and child mortality ratios between high-income and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Despite large decreases in maternal and child mortality in recent decades, with programs such as the Safe Motherhood Initiative, the Sustainable Development Goals and the Millennium Development Goals in LMICs, these differences remain large. The objective of this study is to examine the association between the…
Understanding the role of land attachment in the emergence of hollow villages based on the agent-based complex system framework
Crop-raiding by wildlife and cropland abandonment as feedback from nature-based solutions
Conservation efforts under the nature-based solutions (NbS) framework aim at better management of ecosystems and improvement of human well-being. Policies targeting forest-based livelihoods align well with the NbS principles, but their social-ecological outcomes are often confounded by complex human-environment interactions. In this study, we identify one major feedback effect of the ecosystem dynamic on people’s livelihoods based on datasets col…
Human mobility in the context of environmental and climate change
This paper outlines recent data collection tools and methodologies that the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has been using in order to gather information on human mobility as influenced by environmental factors and their impacts. It looks at alternative ways for collecting and analysing data in the face of methodological challenges related to the multicausality of movements, the voluntary/involuntary continuum in human (im)mobility…
Understanding human-environment interrelationships under constrained land-use decisions with a spatially explicit agent-based model
Understanding the Effects of China’s Agro-Environmental Policies on Rural Households’ Labor and Land Allocation with a Spatially Explicit Agent-Based Model
Understanding household labor and land allocation decisions under agro-environmental policies is challenging due to complex human-environment interactions. Here, we develop a spatially explicit agent-based model based on spatial and socioeconomic data to simulate households' land and labor allocation decisions and investigate the impacts of two forest restoration and conservation programs and one agricultural subsidy program in rural China. Simul…

Cambios socioeconómicos en el siglo XXI en poblaciones indígenas Amazónicas
La Amazonía ecuatoriana es una de las zonas bióticas más ricas de la tierra y con pluralidad de poblaciones indígenas. Este estudio pretende reconocer la situación de estas poblaciones, analizando sus tendencias en el tiempo mediante un estudio longitudinal sobre su situación demográfica y socioeconómica en la primera década del siglo XXI. Se observa una población joven y con alta fecundidad, así como ligeros decrementos en las actividades tradic…
Rural Household Energy Use and Its Determinants in China
Determinants of out-migration in rural China
Indigenous Migration Dynamics in the Ecuadorian Amazon
Amazonian indigenous populations are approaching a critical stage in their history in which increasing education and market integration, rapid population growth and degradation of natural resources threaten the survival of their traditions and livelihoods. A topic that has hardly been touched upon in this context is migration and population mobility. We address this by analysing a unique longitudinal dataset from the Ecuadorian Amazon on the spat…

Environmental Influences on Human Migration in Rural Ecuador
The question of whether environmental conditions influence human migration has recently gained considerable attention, driven by claims that global environmental change will displace large populations. Despite this high level of interest, few quantitative studies have investigated the potential effects of environmental factors on migration, particularly in the developing world and for gradual but pervasive forms of environmental change. To addres…
The use of survey data to study migration–environment relationships in developing countries
Psychosocial Factors of Migration
Psychosocial factors influencing behaviour play a central role in health research but seem under‐explored in migration research. This is unfortunate because these factors, which include knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, intentions and personality traits, provide essential and potentially effective handles for linking migration and migrant‐integration policies. We demonstrate that the health belief model ( HBM ) conceptualization of behavioural inten…

Indigenous Land Use in the Ecuadorian Amazon
Consequences of out-migration for land use in rural Ecuador
The impact of origin community characteristics on rural–urban out-migration in a developing country
It is widely believed that structural variables such as inequitable land distribution, lack of rural employment opportunities, and rural-urban wage and amenity gaps influence population movements in developing countries. Yet quantitative evidence is scant. In this paper a multilevel model is used to investigate the effects of individual-, household-, and areal-level factors on rural-urban out-migration in the Ecuadorian Sierra. Data from a detail…

Community-level determinants of contraceptive use in the Philippines
We use household and community data from the Philippines to estimate a multilevel model of contraceptive use. We go beyond previous efforts in this field by developing a structural model that recognizes joint endogeneity and the temporal ordering of variables, by considering a wider range of community influences on fertility behavior, and by employing an econometric procedure allowing for a multilevel error structure. The results suggest that the…

Population growth, internal migration, and environmental degradation in rural areas of developing countries
Land Use, Migration, and Natural Resource Deterioration
There has been little research directly linking migration to environmental degradation. Guatemala has had a population growth rate of 3%/year for the past 2 decades. The level of rural to urban migration has been heavy because of insurgency and wide rural to urban income gaps and land inequalities although it still remains low for a Latin American country which usually have high percentages of urban populations. Using past population trends popul…

The Determinants of Breast-Feeding in Sri Lanka
Breast-feeding is the focus of rapidly growing interest. Research on the determinants of breast-feeding is only beginning. The research in this paper is based on World Fertility Survey data for Sri Lanka. We develop what we believe to be an appropriate probit model and find that there are significant socioeconomic factors that influence breast-feeding, in addition to the demographic factors focused upon in the literature. Moreover, some of them h…

The Barbados Family Planning Association and Fertility Decline in Barbados
The growth of the Barbados Family Planning Association (BFPA) founded in 1955 and the nature of its operations are reviewed statistics of BFPA acceptors users and costs are presented and available information non-BFPA contraceptive usage in Barbados is summarized. Since 1970 services have been available at 14 clinics in addition to the headquarters clinic. Field work operations have had priority from the outset. Field workers motivate women and i…
Tasas de dependencia y tasas de ahorro agregado
En el decenio pasado se desarrolló abundante discusión teórica acerca de los efectos negativos que en los países menos desarrollados tiene el crecimiento de la población sobre el ahorro, la inversión, la productividad del trabajo y, en general, sobre el crecimiento económico. Sin embargo, el desarrollo de trabajos empíricos ha sido más bien limitado. El artículo de Nathaniel Leff que se publicó en la American Economic Review y en Demografía y Eco…

The Costs of Family Planning Programs
Despite the great amount of resources invested in family planning programs around the world and the considerable attention given to appraising their effects, little has been written about the analysis of family planning costs. Indeed, costs often seem to be virtually ignored. In the likely event that the growth of resources available for financing family planning programs in the future ceases to be as high as the expansion in demand for family pl…

Part 1
This review relates to 2 articles in Medical Anthropology (Greiner et al. 1981; Gussler and Briesmeister 1980) which infer a large decline in the extent of breastfeeding and focus on a limited set of myriad factors which are believed to affect lactation extent and duration. They concentrate on the insufficient milk syndrome and use attitudinal information to a large extent. The assumption of the lage universal breastfeeding decline is questioned …
Migration Surveys in Low-Income Countries
This book is an attempt to assemble experience and to provide guidelines concerning data collection on migration with a focus on internal migration in low-income agrarian and industrializing countries. Chapters are included on theoretical perspectives on migration; conceptualizing territorial mobility; survey design; sample design; identification of migrants and collection of demographic and social information in migration surveys; migrants and t…
Breastfeeding Patterns and Determinants in the Near East
Few detailed studies of the determinants of breastfeeding behaviour have been carried out, especially in the Middle East. We provide a comparative investigation of patterns and determinants of breastfeeding in four Middle East countries (Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia and Yemen) based on WFS data. Differences in factors influencing ever-breastfeeding, continuing breastfeeding from very short to moderate durations, and extending breastfeeding into the sec…

La selectividad de los emigrantes rurales en la sierra ecuatoriana
En este trabajo se examinan las características de personas recién emigradas de hogares rurales de la región de la sierra ecuatoriana hacia áreas urbanas. Se utiliza una encuesta de hogares cuyo foco es específicamente la migración interna. Esto permite tabulaciones cruzadas por sexo y combinaciones de origen-destino y provee información acerca de los emigrantes que generalmente no se encuentra en los censos o en las encuestas más genéricas. Se o…

Preliminary Report of the United Nations Expert Group Meeting on the Feminization of Internal Migration
Migration, a process affecting the lives of millions of women in the devel? oping world, is closely interrelated to the changing roles and status of women. The task of elucidating under which circumstances migration leads to improvements of the status of women was undertaken by diose partici? pating in the Expert Group Meeting on the Feminization of Internal Migration organized by the Population Division of the United Nations in collaboration wit…

Poverty and prosperity among migrant settlers in the Amazon rainforest frontier of Ecuador
Household-level interview data from a probability sample survey conducted in the northeastern Ecuadorian Amazon in 1990 are used to examine the determinants of income and assets among migrant farmers in the agricultural frontier. Multivariate analysis indicates that size of plot owned, proximity to markets, duration of residence, quality of soil, receipt of technical assistance, off-farm employment and initial wealth positively influence current …
