Children’S Life Satisfaction

Previous literature on transnational families has raised concerns about the subjective well-being of left-behind children affected by different parental migration arrangements. From a gender perspective that considers both the parent’s gender and the child’s gender, this study reexamines the associations between parental migration arrangements and adolescent children’s life satisfaction, and then investigates how such associations vary by parental emotional support. Drawing on data gathered from 1,741 adolescent students in rural areas of Hunan province, China, the study shows that maternal migration and both-parent migration pose emotional challenges to adolescent children, although the former is only negatively associated with girls’ life satisfaction. In addition, emotional support from staying-behind fathers is found able to moderate the emotional costs of being separated from migrant mothers, but then only for boys. Findings reveal the roles of parent and child gender in the “migration–left behind nexus.”

What Matters

Liposuction of the hips and thighs is one of the most requested areas in any cosmetic practice. Proper patient selection, planning, and precise execution of the surgical plan will avoid complications and unhappy patients. The main caveats is to think in a three-dimensional manner when marking the patient and performing the procedure. Using the prone, lateral, and supine positions allows a circumferential contouring of this area. Adequate compression postoperatively gives the best chance for skin contraction. Like any liposuction procedure, the plastic surgeon must remember that what matters is what is left behind to give an aesthetic contour and not how much fat is removed.

Abstract.The aim of this study is to analize the relations between contextual variables (family support, friends support and teachers support), personal variables (self-concept and life satisfaction) and school adjustment and engagement. The sample is composed by 1615 participants from 12 to 23 years old. Pearson correlations show that all variables are significantly and positively correlated. Multivariate regression analysis shows that school engagement, self-concept, life satisfaction and friends support are directly related with school adjustment, being school engagement the most relevant variable. In the other hand, family and teacher support are indirectly related with school adjustment through self-concept and life satisfaction, which are directly related with school adjustment.Keywords: School adjustment, school engagement, family support, friends support, teachers support, self-concept and life satisfaction.Resumen.El objetivo de este estudio es analizar las relaciones entre variables contextuales (apoyo familiar, amistades y profesorado), individuales (autoconcepto y satisfacción con la vida) y el ajuste e implicación escolar. La muestra está compuesta por 1615 participantes de entre 12 y 23 años. Los resultados muestran relaciones significativas y positivas entre todas las variables analizadas mediante las correlaciones de Pearson. Asimismo, los análisis de regresión realizados señalan que la implicación escolar, el autoconcepto, la satisfacción con la vida y el apoyo de las amistades tienen una relación directa con el ajuste escolar, siendo la implicación escolar la variable que más peso o importancia tiene. Por otro lado, el apoyo familiar y del profesorado tienen una relación indirecta con el ajuste escolar, a través de las variables individuales autoconcepto y satisfacción con la vida, con las que están directamente relacionados.Palabras clave: Ajuste escolar, implicación escolar, apoyo familiar, apoyo de los amigos, apoyo de los profesores, autoconcepto y satisfacción con la vida.

What Matters

What matters most in how poverty shapes children's wellbeing and development? How can data inform social policy and practice approaches to improving the outcomes for poorer children? Using life course analysis from the Young Lives study of 12,000 children growing up in Ethiopia, India, Peru, and Vietnam over the past 15 years, this book draws on evidence from two cohorts of children, from 1 to 15 years old and from 8 to 22 years old. It examines how poverty affects children's development in low- and middle-income countries, and how policy has been used to improve their lives, then goes on to show when key developmental differences occur. The book uses new evidence to develop a framework of what matters most and when, and outlines effective policy approaches to inform the no-one left behind Sustainable Development Goal agenda.

Children’S Hope Scale

We examined the moderating role of hope in the relationship between perceived discrimination and life satisfaction among left-behind children in China. Participants were 588 left-behind pupils at three rural primary schools, who completed the Children's Hope Scale, the Perceived Discrimination Questionnaire of the Left-Behind Children, and the Students' Life Satisfaction Scale. Results show that there were significant correlations between the perceived discrimination, hope, and life satisfaction of our participants. In addition, hope significantly alleviated the negative effect of perceived discrimination on life satisfaction. We can conclude that perceived discrimination and hope both significantly predicted life satisfaction, and hope moderated the effect of perceived discrimination on life satisfaction among left-behind children in China. Our findings have implications for school teachers and social workers to help reduce left-behind children's hurt resulting from perceived discrimination.
