Envy, gratitude, and well-being among Guatemalan adolescents with scarce economic resources.

This chapter identifies some of the most stubborn gender-based risks and vulnerabilities girls face as a cohort from preadolescence through late adolescence across the domains of personal capabilities, security, safety, economic resources, and opportunities. It reviews progress made during the Millennium Development Goal era in improving girls’ health and well-being and looks to the role of adolescent girls in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals. The chapter concludes by recommending an approach for global partnership that is linked to national and local actions and that is centered on priority interventions that can catalyze change, at scale, for adolescent girls.

Marine Areas

The coastal zones of Spain are considered areas of special relevance for the population and its economy. This is due to the fact that the urban population settles and develops economic activities increasingly on the coastal zone. In 2015, almost half the population of the country lived in urban centres of these areas. However, the model of settlement and development of economic activities in coastal areas does not follow patterns towards the sustainability of the coast and the sea. As a consequence, coastal and marine ecosystems are increasingly threatened and degraded, placing services they offer to the population in particular danger. Thus, this research aims to analyse the reality of coastal and marine management in Spain in the last decade (2008-2018 period). In this regard, the manuscript highlights those initiatives that promote the sustainability of the coasts and the sea, as well as those issues that should be addressed to contribute to the human well-being of coastal societies. The methodology used in the research is focused on the analysis of the Integrated Coastal Zone Management Decalogue, in which ten elements related to public management of coastal and marine areas are analysed: Policy, Regulations, Competencies, Institutions, Strategies, Instruments, Training, Economic resources, Information and knowledge, and Participation. Therefore, the results obtained present detailed and updated information on each element of the Decalogue, with the contribution of data on the reality of management in the coastal area of Spain. Finally, the case of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia is studied, with the aim of emphasizing peculiarities of coastal management that some regions of the country have.

Zakat is a social mechanism and system outlined in the teachings of Islam to be a path to inner well-being through equitable access to economic resources and togetherness. Unfortunately, often in practice, zakat is only a charitable mechanism. based on mercy and individual volunteerism. This paper wants to emphasize that traditions and thoughts that interpret zakat only as a charity process must be changed. One of them is to do a philosophical normative basic reorientation towards strengthening the stem and the model of zakat which is effective and efficient. This last thing is not only an abash to strive for, but also a necessity. Exposure is done by normative and deductive juridical methods. Combined with a systemic approach that refers to the standardization of organizations and models of social movements that are effective and efficient. The data is extracted from various sources of Islamic law literature then combined with architectural framework theory to find an effective and efficient organizing model. This research is a juridical research that is qualitative, where the researcher will describe and analyze from the data and other literature related to this research in a deductive way . In conducting the analysis, the author uses two approaches: a normative juridical approach and a paralellism setting to the basic theory of efficiency and effectiveness. Thus, to propose a model of innovation based on justified norms

In this review, I provide an overview of the literature investigating the social psychology of economic inequality, focusing on individuals’ understandings, perceptions, and reactions to inequality. I begin by describing different ways of measuring perceptions of inequality, and conclude that absolute measures—which ask respondents to estimate inequality in more concrete terms—tend to be more useful and accurate than relative measures. I then describe how people understand inequality, highlighting the roles of cognitive heuristics, accessibility of information, self-interest, and context and culture. I review the evidence regarding how people react to inequality, suggesting that inequality is associated with higher well-being in developing nations but lower well-being in developed nations, mostly because of hopes or fears for the future. The evidence from developed nations suggests that inequality increases individuals’ concerns about status and economic resources, increases their perception that the social world is competitive and individualistic, and erodes their faith in others, political systems, and democracy in general.

The concept of environmental justice gained currency in the public arena during the latter part of the 20th century. It embodies social work's person-in-environment perspective and dedication to people who are vulnerable, oppressed, and poor. The pursuit of environmental justice engages citizens in local to international struggles for economic resources, health, and well-being, and in struggles for political voice and the realization of civil and human rights.

Health And Well Being

The older segments of the adult population in cities experience problems conditioned by the climate of each place. Since the 2003 heat wave which caused 70,000 heat deaths, the dramatic consequences of climate change and rising temperatures in Europe have led to the elderly being most at risk. Insufficient adaptability and economic resources among them also lead to repercussions on architecture, causing energy poverty issues as a result of a real consumption needed which is very different from the actual consumption. The demands of these people are determined by environmental stress, which differ greatly throughout the year. In addition, illnesses influence the daily health and the decrease in sensory capacity of the elderly, making them more vulnerable to constant changes. Faced with this problem, the main aim of this research is to analyse the degree of comfort and well-being of the elderly due to the environmental changes that occur in Andalusian rural homes in order to include some considerations in the design of indoor environments.

The Welfare State

Ensuring a fair and efficient distribution of economic resources in society is one of the most important public policy challenges facing democratic governments. This chapter notes how the emergence of new and better data on the composition and distribution of income and wealth has heightened interest in economic inequality. Data on the distribution of both income and wealth are presented, highlighting how Ireland, as a liberal market economy, has high levels of direct market income inequality but the welfare state plays a significant role in redistribution. The provision of robust wealth data is a recent phenomenon for Ireland, one absent from our understanding of living standards, well-being, and redistributive public policies for some time. Wealth is more unequally distributed than income, and it is notably concentrated in housing capital. The chapter concludes by highlighting the relevance and potential of these new insights.

Links between elevated mental well-being in adulthood and higher social and economic resources growing up are well established. However, the role of gender remains unclear, especially whether gender influences how social and economic resources interact to produce disparities in mental well-being across young adulthood. Drawing on nationally representative longitudinal data, we illuminate gender differences in mental well-being, finding that young adult mental health advantages based in adolescent socioeconomic status pivot on parent-child emotional bonds for young men only. That is, for young adult men, lessened depressive symptom frequency linked to higher parental education only appears when perceived parent-child bonds are at least moderately close. This holds even after adjusting for earlier adolescent mental well-being, suggesting a stable mechanism across the transition to adulthood. Overall, our results uphold the argument that familial social and economic resources predict mental well-being during young adulthood while revealing that relevant mechanisms may differ by gender.

Criterion Development

All individuals face decisions during their lifetime that directly influence the economic well-being of their families. Therefore, financial education can be a fundamental tool to maximize our economic resources and use them wisely. A virtual survey was administered to 410 volunteer students belonging to a public university in southern Chile. The objective was to determine the level of financial knowledge and appreciation of financial education of future professionals. The most important results demonstrate a reality in which young people said they had the habit of saving and budgeting at home and were responsible for paying their bills on time. However, only a very small number of participants claimed having a superior level of knowledge regarding financial literacy. The main challenge for universities is to include this topic in the elective curriculum of all degree programs to promote financial criterion development that contributes to the comprehensive training and professional competencies of future graduates.
