Tourism has both positive and negative impact on the host community. This paper tries to find out the perceptions of the host community towards tourism development and its impacts in Shaheed Dweep of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. A simple random household survey was conducted among 353 respondents of Shaheed Dweep to know about perceptions on two factors of impact: (i) Costs of Tourism Development and (ii) Benefits from tourism Development. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was applied for it. The findings reveal that tourism development has created lots of employment opportunities as one of the positive impacts but on the other side as a negative impact, it found that due to the seasonal nature it is creating more part-time job than full-time among the host community.

Understanding the relationship between households’ livelihoods and agricultural functions is important for regulating and balancing households’ and macrosocieties’ agricultural functional needs and formulating better agricultural policies and rural revitalization strategies. This paper uses peasant household survey data obtained from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) and statistical analysis methods, to analyze the differences in livelihood assets and agricultural functions of households with different livelihood strategies and the relationship between livelihood assets and agricultural functions. Households are categorized based on their livelihood strategies as full-time farming households, part-time farming I households, part-time farming II households, and non-farming households. The agricultural product supply and negative effects of the ecological service function of full-time farming households are higher than those of part-time farming and non-farming households. Part-time farming I households have the strongest social security function, while non-farming households have the weakest social security function. Non-farming households have the strongest leisure and cultural function, while part-time farming I households have the weakest leisure and cultural function. Households’ demand for agricultural functions is affected by livelihood assets. Effective measures should be taken to address contradictions in the agricultural functional demands of households and macrosocieties.

Historic centers have become first-line tourist destinations. In order to achieve sustainable development, it is essential to get to know the opinions of the host community on the impact of tourism, the positives, as well as the negatives. This paper aims to understand the residents’ opinions and perceptions of destinations as the historic cities. This research looks into the residents’ opinions on the impact of tourism in the historic city of Toledo, Spain. The results of a quantitative survey among 442 residents in the city of Toledo are presented. The study is a revision of the literature and analysis and explanation of an empiric study’s results. Descriptive statistics have been used, as well as factor analysis and non-parametric tests to analyze data. The main results point out that residents have a positive vision of tourism development, rather than negative. The economic importance of tourism and its ability to create jobs stand out. However, they also think that the historic center is being turned into a museum for tourists. Analyzing their opinions according to certain demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, some major differences come up, such as that the inhabitants of residential areas have a more positive opinion than those who live in the historic center. Understanding the perspective of the residents can help the managers and planners of the tourism in the city to play down the potential negative impact of tourism and to achieve support from the host community in regards to tourism.

IntroductionFirefighters are exposed to many hazardous agents, including heat, stress, nightwork and chemicals, which may have negative impact on their fertility. Despite this, there is a lack of epidemiologic studies in the field. We aimed to examine infertility among male Danish firefighters.MethodsWe established a cohort of 4710 male Danish firefighters born from 1964 to 1992 based on historical records from employers and trade unions. The firefighter’s unique personal identification number, applied to all residents in Denmark, was used as a key identifier for linkage of information from nationwide registers. Information on vital status and female partners was obtained from the Danish Civil Registration System. Information on diagnoses of, conditions related to and treatments for infertility was retrieved from the In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) Register and the National Patient Register (NPR). Hazard ratios and their 95% confidence intervals for both male factor and overall infertility were estimated through cox regression analyses comparing the firefighters to two reference groups: a) a random sample of employees and b) military employed men.ResultsAmong the full time firefighters (n=1,253), male factor infertility was significantly increased compared to the sample of employees (IVF model HR=1.5, 95% CI 1.1–1.9 and NPR model HR=1.5, 95% CI 1.2–2.). Results were less consistent using the military employees as reference. Further, the increase in infertility seemed restricted to the time employed as firefighter and, thus disappeared when the men quit firefighting. No increase in risk of either male factor or overall infertility was seen among the part time/volunteer firefighters (n=3,497).ConclusionFull time firefighting was associated with an increased risk of being diagnosed with male factor infertility. This was not the case for part time firefighters. The increased risk seemed confined to actual firefighting time, indicating an occupational association,

Abstract Objectives Women's participation in labor force has been increasing; however, married women spend considerable time in housework despite working outside. This double burden may have a negative impact on their health behavior. However, little is known about the relationship between married women's working status and their nutrient intake. Therefore, we aimed to examine the association of working status, considering working hours, with nutrient intake and adequacy among married Japanese women. Methods This cross-sectional study included married women aged 20–59 years. The participants were categorized into 3 groups based on their working status and hours: housewives, part-time workers (who work <35 hours per week), and full-time workers (who work ≥35 hours per week). Dietary intake was assessed using a validated self-administered questionnaire. For each nutrient, the prevalence of participants whose intake did not meet the Japanese Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) was compared across the working status. To evaluate the overall nutrient adequacy for each participant, we counted the number of nutrients that did not meet the DRIs. The participants in the highest tertile category for number of nutrients not meeting the DRIs (≥7 of 20 nutrients not meeting the DRIs) were regarded as “low adequacy”. Crude and multivariate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for low adequacy in each working status group were calculated using logistic regression analysis. Results Among 644 married women, 240 were housewives, 280 were part-time workers, and 126 were full-time workers. The intake of dietary fiber, potassium, magnesium, vitamin B1, vitamin C, and copper was lower in both the part-time and full-time workers than in the housewives. In addition, the full-time workers had a lower intake of folate, calcium, and iron than the housewives. The prevalence of not meeting the DRIs for potassium and magnesium was higher in the full-time workers. Multivariate ORs (95% CIs) for low adequacy in the part-time and the full-time workers were 1.39 (0.96–2.01) and 2.34 (1.48–3.71), respectively, compared with the housewives. Conclusions Working, especially ≥35 hours per week, was negatively associated with nutrient intake adequacy in married Japanese women. Funding Sources Ochanomizu University.

The Impact

Features of regulation of labor relations under the influence of measures aimed at preventing the occurrence and spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are revealed. It was emphasized that the problem of regulation of labor relations during quarantine restrictions became especially acute, as it was necessary to amend the legislation in order to reduce the negative impact of the spread of coronavirus COVID-19. A set of both general and special methods of scientific cognition was used to study the problem. The main thing in this system is the general scientific dialectical method, which was used to clarify the new content of the responsibilities of the employer during the pandemic COVID-19, identify the main changes in Ukrainian legislation. Using the formal-logical method, the consequences of quarantine restrictions in the field of employment and ways to overcome them are revealed. On this methodological basis, the collection, processing and analysis of empirical material were carried out. General scientific methods are also used, such as: comparison, generalization, induction, deduction and analysis. In addition, system-structural analysis is used in the analysis of current legislation. Legislative changes are analyzed in order to reduce the negative impact of coronavirus spread. Attention is paid to the consequences of the introduction of quarantine restrictions, which affected the level of economic development of the country, social protection and employment. The economic level of Ukraine is analyzed taking into account the impact of quarantine shock, as a result of which the decline in Ukraine�s gross domestic product in 2020 was highlighted. As a result, there was a sharp reduction in jobs and loss of livelihoods of the working population. The causal links that led to a decline in employment, job cuts and rising unemployment have been identified. The main reasons for the reduction of employees in enterprises due to the difficult economic situation - the loss of a significant part of profits, reducing the number of employees to keep the company, forced sending of workers on unpaid leave, transfer to part-time work. Emphasis is placed on such a phenomenon as hidden unemployment, which is not included in official statistics. This happens when some employers send employees on unpaid long-term leave for the duration of quarantine, others transfer employees from full-time to part-time employment. Forms of hidden unemployment are highlighted. Attention is paid to the impact of quarantine restrictions imposed to prevent the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on labor migration processes and the trend of behavior of Ukrainian workers. The main reasons for the decline in migration processes, including the closure of borders for entry and exit of foreigners by most European countries, the temporary suspension of enterprises and job losses during the quarantine period, etc. are highlighted. The ways of the decision of the raised questions are offered.

This paper describes the methodology and results of a study of the effects of disability on employment, and considers some of the policy implications of the .findings. The study is based on data from two Statistics New Zealand surveys: the 2001 New Zealand Disability Survey and the 2001 Household Labour Force Survey. Key research questions include: what is the level of employment (both part time and full time) amongst people with disability; to what extent are people with disability less likely to be in employment when other personal characteristics (age, gender, ethnicity, qualifications, etc.) are taken into account; and how is the likelihood of employment related to type of disability, severity of disability and the existence of multiple types of impairment? Multivariate analysis of disability data is used to produce a disability typology containing six categories: hearing, vision, mobility, co-ordination/dexterity, learning/memory, and psychological/psychiatric. Employment outcomes are examined for people with each of these types of disability, at different levels of severity. To develop the analysis beyond this descriptive level, a regression-based procedure is used to estimate for people with disability what their employment outcomes would have been in the absence of disability (assuming that other characteristics are unchanged). This provides a counterfactual to the descriptive results on employment, thus permitting assessment of the effect of each type of disability on employment. Additionally, an additive risk model is developed that relates the likelihood of employment to a general risk score based on the number of types of disability that a person has and the severity of those disabilities.The results show that those with disabilities have a greatly diminished likelihood of full-time employment. However, the effect is much smaller when the outcome examined is any degree of employment (i.e. part-time or full- time employment). Those with a hearing disability experience a smaller negative effect in terms of employment outcomes than those with other types of disability, for whom the effects are approximately equal in size. The likelihood of employment diminishes sharply with the severity of disability for all of the disability types except hearing disability; for the latter type, employment does not seem to be very much affected by severity (to the extent that the severity of hearing disability is able to be assessed from the survey data).The paper concludes by considering the study's implications concerning the effectiveness of policies for reducing the negative impact of disability on work participation. In the view of the authors, the findings suggest that there may be greater potential than has been appreciated to raise the level of full-time employment amongst people with disabilities. The challenge is to develop policies that would achieve this.

On The Job Training

Recent results from the Scottish Household Survey show that at any one time over 18 per cent of Scottish employees are engaged in some form of on-the-job training. The majority of this training is unaccredited and is not recorded in any official education statistics. Overall rates for men and women are similar. After initially high rates of training for the youngest employees, rates for men decline steadily whereas those for women remain stable into middle age, perhaps as a result of retraining for returners. The employees who receive most on-the-job training are full-time, in managerial or professional occupations and already have some formal qualification. The self-employed, the part-time, the unskilled and the unqualified miss out. Training on-the-job could have a role in promoting social inclusion for the least-advantaged employees. But more research is needed to learn what training is being delivered and what policy levers could be pulled to influence who receives it.

Educators and higher education researchers have speculated that the presence of part-time faculty in universities must have a negative impact on students' learning experience. The research reported in this article has yielded no evidence in support of this view. Students tend to be either unaware of, or indifferent toward, differences between part-time and full-time status.
