Awareness of osteoporosis among female head of household: an Iranian experience

This analysis examines selected factors affecting work and poverty in metro and nonmetro areas of the South, including rates of labor force participation and the demographic, economic, industrial and occupational characteristics of the working poor. The results indicate that being a female head of household is the most important factor in distinguishing poor and nonpoor working persons. The odds of workers in female-headed families being poor was nearly six times higher than for workers in other family types. The number of earners in the family, race, and industry structure are also significant in accounting for the variation in poverty status among employed persons. The implications of these findings for ameliorating the plight of the working poor are explored.

The Individual

Within the framework of neo-classical analysis, each individual is assumed homogeneous. However, homogeneity assumption becomes incompatible when discussing human behavior. Latest literatures conclude that men and women allocated resources under their control in different ways systematically. This study was intended to see whether there is an increase in the household’s welfare if the head of household is a women and granted credit access to financial institutions. Women’s access to all financial services, is essential to allow them to benefit fully from economic opportunities. The data used came from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) for two last waves (IFLS 2007 and 2014). Analyses were performed using fixed effect model to overcome the unobserved heterogeneity, especially in terms of the individual character. The results indicated that the credit received by the female head of households can significantly increase household income. These results support the policy of increasing women empowerment in order to improve family welfare.

Female Headed Households

Abstract: This study examines female-headed households in the late Tokugawa era in Kyoto, Japan, 1843-1868. The study uses a data set of 37,000 person-year observations from individual faith surveys (also known as population registers) compiled by 30 neighborhoods in Kyoto, supplemented by qualitative documents to compare those households listing a female head with those listing a male head or a child aged 1-10 as the head of household. The number of households listing women or children as head, despite the presence of adult males, already suggests that headship was not about patriarchal authority. This study of female-headed households therefore examines the significance of listing women as head of household and what female headed households reveal about gender, headship and family in mid-nineteenth century Kyoto during the final years of the Tokugawa regime.Key words: Female headed households, headship, marriage, inheritance, children, propertyResumen: El presente trabajo examina los hogares con jefatura femenina en la era Tokugawa tardía (1843-1868) en Kioto, Japón. Se usó un conjunto de datos de 37.000 observaciones año-persona de encuestas individuales (también llamadas registros de población) compiladas por 30 barrios en Kioto y complementadas por documentos cualitativos para comparar los hogares con jefatura femenina con aquellos que tenían a un niño entre uno y diez años como jefe de hogar. La cantidad de hogares que registraron mujeres o niños cabeza de hogar, a pesar de la presencia de hombres adultos, sugiere que la jefatura no estaba relacionada con la autoridad patriarcal. Por lo tanto, el estudio de hogares con jefatura femenina examina el significado de los registros de mujeres como cabeza de hogar y lo que este tipo de hogares refleja sobre el género, la jefatura y la familia en el Kioto de mediados del siglo XIX, durante los últimos años del régimen Tokugawa.Palabras clave: Hogares con jefatura femenina, jefatura, matrimonio, herencia, hijos, propiedades

Low And Middle Income

Interventions implementing clean fuels to mitigate household air pollution in low- and middle-income countries have focused on environmental and health outcomes, but few have evaluated time savings. We performed a systematic review, searching for studies of clean fuel interventions that measured time use. A total of 868 manuscripts were identified that met the search criteria, but only 2 met the inclusion criteria. Both were cross-sectional and were conducted in rural India. The first surveyed the female head of household (141 using biogas and 58 using biomass) and reported 1.2 h saved per day collecting fuel and 0.7 h saved cooking, resulting in a combined 28.9 days saved over an entire year. The second surveyed the head of household (37 using biogas and 68 using biomass, 13% female) and reported 1.5 h saved per day collecting fuel, or 22.8 days saved over a year. Based on these time savings, we estimated that clean fuel use could result in a 3.8% or 4.7% increase in daily income, respectively, not including time or costs for fuel procurement. Clean fuel interventions could save users time and money. Few studies have evaluated this potential benefit, suggesting that prospective studies or randomized controlled trials are needed to adequately measure gains.
