Inequalities In Health

ABSTRACTThere has been an ongoing dispute about inequalities in health ever since the suppressed publication of the Black Report in 1980. It has recently been given a new edge by three publications: the proceedings of an SSRC Workshop held in November 1983 and the Registrar General's Decennial Supplement for 1979–1983, and another half-suppressed report, this time from Health Education Council. The first and third broadly claim that inequalities in health are widening; the second that they are irrelevant. This paper reviews the debate since 1980 around the issues of measurement (how to assess differences between social groups and how to compare across time) and the four kinds of explanation examined by the Black Report. The concluding discussion emphasises the essentially political nature of the debate over the ‘trends’ but concludes that, whilst most agree on the importance of materialist/structuralist variables, there are differences in the policy implications of the different explanatory positions. However, on the whole these will not be resolved by ‘further research’: the time is long overdue for a redistribution of resources to eradicate poverty.

The current measures to protect e-consumers’ privacy in Australia include (i) regulation/legislation; (ii) guidelines; (iii) codes of practice; and (iv) activities of consumer associations and the private sector. However; information about the outcomes of such measures has not been sufficiently reported; whereas privacy incidents have increased. Some policy implications for e-consumer protection are drawn from the analysis. Firstly; national privacy legislation should widen its coverage. Secondly; uniform regulations and guidelines could contribute to providing equal protection to e-consumers. Thirdly; guidelines and codes of practice need to be supported by legislation and a proper compliance regime. Corporate social responsibility by e-retailers is also required for effective adoption of self-regulatory measures. Fourthly; consumer education is important to enhance consumer awareness of online privacy risks and their ability to deal with such incidents. Finally; a combination of legal frameworks; technological; and human-behaviour related measures is more likely to address online privacy issues effectively.

Southeast Asian Countries

For decades, although the world has made significant progress in the fight against hunger, food insecurity has been considered as the top concern of countries, especially developing countries. In this study, we use panel data of 10 Southeast Asian countries for the period from 2000-2015 to evaluate the effect of international trade on food security. Applying panel data regression methods such as fixed effects model (FE), random effects model (RE), and feasible generalized least squares model (FGLS), the results show the positive impact of international trade on food security on all three aspects of food availability, stability, and access at each country. Besides, other factors such as agricultural productivity, the share of agricultural land over the total land area, percentage of farmers in total population, and inflation also affect to food security of Southeast Asian countries on several aspects. Based on the results, we propose some policy implications for Southeast Asian countries to deal with food insecurity problems.

The Internal Market Bill of the UK government is meant to secure flawless motion of goods and services between all parts of Britain in the wake of Brexit, to prevent competition and trade barriers between the regions, including Northern Ireland. The bill caused the threat of Tory backbenchers rebellion and harsh criticism by 5 former UK PM of both leading parties for breaching the EU Withdrawal Agreement and downgrading the UK image in the world as a global power adhering to international law. The devolved regions consider the bill to be a «power grab» by London of their devolved competences after control over laws is repatriated from Brussels to the UK. They insist on the UK government following the Sewel convention and common legal frameworks as a means to introduce legislation in the UK. The foreign policy implications are also complicated Brussels threatened to take London to court for infringement matters and the US Congress as well as the Democratic Party nominee for US president J. Biden warned that the Good Friday Agreement should not become a casualty of Brexit thus putting into question the bilateral FTA. Deal or no deal the UK will encounter further domestic and foreign policy problems.
