Flood risk perception and responses among urban residents in the northeastern United States
How Statelessness, Citizenship, and Out-migration Contribute to Stratification Among Rural Elderly in the Highlands of Thailand
In rural communities across the Global South, families are relying on temporary and permanent out-migration for work to navigate destabilizing agrarian transformations. While research indicates that success of this household livelihood strategy may depend on the legal status of international migrants, precarious legal status is not solely a problem relegated to people who cross national borders. Indeed, millions worldwide are stateless in the cou…
Men's Changing Productive and Reproductive Roles in Transnational Filipino Families
Our research examines the experiences of husbands who remain in the Philippines, at least initially, while their wives enter overseas labor employment contracts as nurses in Ireland. Specifically, we examine the role shifts experienced by men as their wives begin to out-eam them and as they become financially dependent on their wives. We assess what these changes imply for the ways in which Filipino masculinity is constructed and experienced in t…
Family size and schooling in sub-Saharan African settings
Contrary to theory and evidence from many other regions, previous studies in sub-Saharan Africa have found surprisingly weak associations between family size and schooling. It is unclear, however, whether these weak results reflect (spurious) limitations in methodology or (real) differences in context. This study uses schooling histories from Cameroon to test four contending methodological and contextual explanations for these weak results: measu…
Inequality and Educational Investment in Thai Children
In this paper we examine differences in upper secondary school attendance among subgroups of the population in Thailand. We ascertain where inequalities continue to exist and where they have been mediated. We analyze data from samples of the 1990 and 2000 Thai censuses. We find that the gender gap favoring boys has closed at the national level and that girls now transition to upper secondary school more often than do boys. Inequalities still exis…
Marriage and Decision-Making
In this analysis the factors that determine how much input Javanese couples are allowed into decisions regarding their marriages are explored. Perceptions of power and the factors that influence these perceptions are investigated separately for husbands and wives. It is found that over time couples have gained considerably in their ability to control decision outcomes and that the educational attainment levels of both partners fathers are consist…
