Objective . To determine the social perception on childhood overweight and obesity for the purpose of generating communication strategies that would prevent it through changes in behavior. Materials and methods : A descriptive study using a qualitative research method that involved focus groups with children, teachers and parents. The type of analysis was argumentative. The study was conducted from January to May 2013 in the metropolitan area of Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. Results : There is a most diffrent social perception among focus groups on the quality of life and happiness of children, with parents and teachers referring to food in relation to children happiness when it is provided as a reward or to compensate for bad experiences or lack of emotional attachment, while children refer to family harmony as the main cause for making them happy. Conclusions : The social perception reveals the importance of social or symbolic interaction processes. Therefore, the objective of the communication strategy must address the associated factors in preventing obesity through symbolic elements of these groups, taking into account the senses and meanings related to basic stimuli that trigger behaviors related to obesity

La globalización de la economía en la época actual ha propiciado, entre otras cosas, un aumento en la desigualdad económica y en la precarización laboral, tanto entre los países como dentro de ellos. La Organización Internacional del Trabajo elaboró la propuesta Trabajo decente, como alternativa para avanzar hacia una mayor igualdad, promover condiciones mínimas para que los trabajadores puedan cubrir sus necesidades básicas, laborar en el marco de la legislación vigente y fomentar el derecho a la participación sindical. En este artículo se tomó el caso de México para ejemplificar cómo la globalización económica ha contribuido a profundizar las desigualdades. También se analizan las condiciones de trabajo decente en las regiones noreste (Coahuila, Nuevo León y Tamaulipas) y sur (Chiapas, Guerrero y Oaxaca), donde hay grandes contrastes, muestra los aspectos en los que se pueden aplicar políticas para mejorar la calidad de los empleos, y avanzar hacia una mayor igualdad.Palabras clave: globalización; desigualdad; precarización laboral; índice de trabajo decente; regiones. AbstractEconomic globalization in modern times has led to an increase in economic inequality, not only between countries but also inwardly thereof, and job insecurity, among other things. The International Labour Organization (ilo) has developed a proposal known as Decent Work, as an alternative to move towards greater equality, promoting minimum conditions for workers to meet their basic needs, work in the framework of existing legislation, and promoting the right to union participation. By taking as an example the case of Mexico, this paper discusses how economic globalization has contributed to the deepening of inequalities between countries and within them. Also, it analyzes the conditions of decent work at the country level and in the Northeast (Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas) and South (Chiapas, Guerrero and Oaxaca) of Mexico, where there are large contrasts, showing the areas where policies can be applied to improve the quality of jobs and thus move towards greater equality.Key words: globalization; inequality; labor precariousness; decent work index; regions.

The purpose of the article is to highlight the social aspects of stress as a syndrome of adaptation to the current situation in Russian society in order to justify the consideration of society as a factor contributing to the development and spread of overweight and obesity among the Russian population. The problem of the conditions and quality of everyday life of a significant part of the population of our country is raised, which are accompanied by an increased stress level of everyday life events. A modern Russian society, possessing an immanently inherent systemic quality - a stressful property, combined with the specificity of a hypodynamic lifestyle, is a powerful and systemically active factor that provokes the development and spread of obesity and overweight. The stress factors of modern society, generated by the disorder and non-complementarity of the work of social institutions, instability in the economic and political spheres are analyzed. Food family traditions, food paradigm, leisure activity of Russians are studied. The irrationality of the use of food by mankind is discussed. The proposed measures to combat and prevent obesity.

Thirteen percent of the total population of the United States (US) is composed of immigrants. Mexicans accounted for about three-quarters of the increase in the Hispanic population from 2000 to 2010. The social and economic problems facing this population in their countries of origin are fueling migration to the US, in search of new opportunities. The purpose of this study was to identify and compare the changes in living conditions (housing, health, education) and the dietary intake (ex - ante and ex - post) of the Latino immigrant population that emigrated from rural areas in Mexico. The participants were attendees of the Purdue Extension Learning Network of Clinton County, who filled out a questionnaire with open and closed questions. The results evidenced the perception of improved quality of life variables related to housing, access to utilities and education, and a change with a tendency for increases in their consumption of fast food, processed food and soda, generating negative effects in terms of an increase in being overweight and obesity, and particularly a lowered consumption of products from their traditional diet.
