Is Societal Progress Muting the Expressivity of Negative Emotions? Evidence from Two Cross-national Studies
Contemporary theories of emotion emphasize the dual role of emotions as both personal experiences and communicative signals during social interactions. However, the impact of macro-level societal structures on emotional expression remains underexplored. This study investigates the expression-experience discrepancy for self-reported emotions across nations, focusing on how societal development relates to this discrepancy, which captures expressivi…

Mind the Gap
The link between economic inequality and individual well-being has been gaining increasing research attention. This study examines this relationship using data from 71 countries with diverse national incomes, addressing three key research gaps: (1) incorporating measures of both perceived and objective economic inequality, (2) extending analysis to multiple components of well-being beyond happiness, including meaning in life, harmony, and spiritu…

Using nationally representativesurvey data from 10,489 respondents spanning the mid-1990s tothe late …
Impact of corruption on public value creation

Design/methodology/approach The study applies a comprehensive measure of PVC, utilizing national level data from 187 countries, sourced from various United Nations agencies. Findings There is a strong and statistically significant relatio…

Perceptions About Female Emancipation in South Asia
This study compares attitudes towards women's emancipation in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan, providing insights into their levels of female emancipation. The research utilized individual-level micro-data from World Values Survey (WVS) waves 3-7, occurring five times between 1995 and 2022, to address five indicators related to female emancipation, which are analysed applying descriptive statistics and regressions. The study indicates that female …
Burden of disease scenarios for 204 countries and territories, 2022–2050
BACKGROUND: Future trends in disease burden and drivers of health are of great interest to policy makers and the public at large. This information can be used for policy and long-term health investment, planning, and prioritisation. We have expanded and improved upon previous forecasts produced as part of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) and provide a reference forecast (the most likely future), and alternativ…
Global burden of 288 causes of death and life expectancy decomposition in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021
BACKGROUND: Regular, detailed reporting on population health by underlying cause of death is fundamental for public health decision making. Cause-specific estimates of mortality and the subsequent effects on life expectancy worldwide are valuable metrics to gauge progress in reducing mortality rates. These estimates are particularly important following large-scale mortality spikes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. When systematically analysed, mort…
Did the Arab Spring change female emancipation perceptions
Purpose This study aims to investigate whether perceptions about female workplace participation in a number of Arab countries has changed during or after the Arab Spring. Design/methodology/approach Data are from the representative harmonized cross-sectional World Values Survey. Descriptive measures and regression approaches are applied. Different dimensions of perceptions about female emancipation are presented, while also a composite index deri…
Growth and socio‐economic status, influence on the age at menarche in school going girls
INTRODUCTION: Onset age at menarche has been considered an important indicator of reproductive maturity in females and reflects the health status of the population. The purpose of this study was to determine the mean menarcheal age and to examine whether anthropometric and socio-economic status (SES) influences age at menarche in the girls from Punjab province of Pakistan. METHODS: In this population-based cross-sectional study, 10,050 school-goi…
Support for Governmental Income Redistribution in Nordic Countries
In many countries, we have seen an increase in economic inequality over the past 20 to 25 years. The populations might therefore have changed their attitude about how and how much different countries should intervene to reduce the extent of economic inequality. A question is whether there is any connection between changes in redistribution preferences and trends in economic inequality in the prosperous Nordic welfare states. This article contribu…
The inequality of opportunity and youth employment in Sub-Saharan Africa
The present study has aimed to determine how factors beyond the control of youths (15–29 years) have determined their chance to find employment opportunities in six Sub-Saharan Africa countries (The Democratic Republic of the Congo (Congo), Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Uganda, and Zambia). Data from the school-to-work transition surveys from 2014 and 2015, carried out by the International Labor Office, was utilised. For each country, the Human Op…
Are benefit reductions an effective activation strategy? The case of the lowest benefit recipients in Denmark
Decades of commitment to the basic principles of the Danish welfare state have been discarded with a new social policy reducing the benefits for people already at the bottom of the income ladder. The political intention is to increase job search via economic incentives that increase the gap between benefit income and market income. Using a panel dataset with benefit recipients, we show that the intended job search effect did not materialise to an…
Multidimensional welfare comparisons of EU member states before, during, and after the financial crisis
A human rights-consistent approach to multidimensional welfare measurement applied to sub-Saharan Africa
The rights-based approach to development targets progress towards the realization of 30 articles set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In current practice, progress is frequently measured using the multidimensional poverty index. While elegant and useful, the multidimensional poverty index is inconsistent with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights principles of indivisibility, inalienability, and equality. We argue that a fi…
First Order Dominance Techniques and Multidimensional Poverty Indices
Effects of food price shocks on child malnutrition
A propitiously timed household survey carried out in Mozambique over the period 2008/2009 permits us to study the relationship between shifts in food prices and child nutrition status in a low income setting. We focus on weight-for-height and weight-for-age in different survey quarters characterized by very different food price inflation rates. Using propensity score matching techniques, we find that these nutrition measures, which are sensitive …

Poverty mapping based on first order dominance with an example from Mozambique
We explore a novel first order dominance (FOD) approach to poverty mapping and compare its properties to small area estimation. The FOD approach uses census data directly; is straightforward to implement; is multidimensional allowing for a broad conception of welfare; and accounts rigorously for welfare distributions in both levels and trends. An application to Mozambique highlights the value of the approach, including its advantages in the monit…

Hvordan måler man fattigdom forstået, som det ikke at kunne klare sig selv, i det samfund man lever i? Fattigdomsopgørelser er ofte baseret på indkomst, som siger noget om mulighederne, men ikke noget om faktisk levevis. Der er derfor behov for metoder, som mere direkte belyser, hvad det vil sige ikke at kunne klare sig selv. I den sammenhæng har fattigdomsforskere peget på konsekvenser i form af afsavn. Den engelske fattigdomsforsker Peter Towns…

Exploring Paradigms of Crime Reduction
Using Danish registers for a 1980 birth cohort of 29,944 males with parental information and following up these cases for 25 years, the study considers four paradigms of crime reduction (parental child rearing, structural factors around adolescence, locality and individual resources). Focusing on offenders with first-time convictions for shoplifting (n = 1,989), for burglary (n = 1,324) and for violence (n = 1,901), all four paradigms made a cont…
