The Households having low socio-economic status possess less resource in term of wealth and income to resist against any kind of external shocks. Apart from heath shocks (physical and mental disabilities) there are numerous other factors that force them to follow subsistence life style having low per capita income. A primary level data has been collected to examine the socio economic status of households in Southern Punjab for the year 2019.The findings show that household size, occupation, dependency ratio, mental disability and physical disability are negatively affecting economic development across the region. However, age, education of the household head, own house, spouse ‘s participation, remittances, number of earners in the household and value of physical assets are increasing economic development in Southern Punjab. Developing strategies, adequate planning and their timely implementation is very crucial for the government to pursue the process of economic growth and development of the poor countries like Pakistan.

Shipbreaking is the recycling mechanism that is reprocessed or scrapped or disposed of almost obsolete cargo vessels. As the breakdown process of these vessels takes place within a multifarious framework, the workforce is confronting many environmental and health barriers throughout the recycling sector. Bangladesh is well known for earning a good deal of profit from such a precarious and caustic industry on the South-eastern offshore in the country but on the flip side, the masters of this insecure business are actively contravening the employees on the top of that human rights here are completely missing. The current situation in the Chittagong ship-breaking area is getting worse day by day, while current workers are deprived of basic rights, victim workers are completely ignored. The concentration of this research paper is to evaluate the socio-economic status of victims ' workers and to explore the system of rehabilitation of victims ' workers in shipbreaking divisions. This study found that, after the fatal accidents, the condition of victim workers had become more miserable due to deprivation of compensation and other rehabilitation support from the authorities and the government.

The study examined the influence of parent’s socio-economic status on the academic performance of students in selected public secondary schools in Ado Local government Area of Ekiti State, Nigeria. The study used stratified sampling techniques to select two hundred and five (205) students from five (5) public schools. Also, data on students’ academic performance was obtained from students results in four core subjects. Data obtained was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The study revealed that parents attitudes, parents socio-economic status, insufficient parental incomes, and lack of funding by the government are factors influencing students’ academic performance. Based on these findings, certain recommendations are made towards improving students’ academic performance, prominent of these include proper funding of education by government, sensitisation of parents towards their children education, increase in parental salaries in line with the current economic situation as well as the provision of adequate books and facilities in schools to breach the gap between the rich and the poor and the support of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) to eradicate poverty.

Abstract Background The approved COVID-19 vaccines have shown great promise in reducing disease transmission and severity of outcomes. However, the success of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout is dependent on public acceptance and willingness to be vaccinated. In this study, we aim to examine how the attitude towards public sector officials and the government impact vaccine willingness. The secondary aim is to understand the impact of ethnicity on vaccine-willingness after we explicitly account for trust in public institutions. Methods This cross-sectional study used data from a UK population based longitudinal household survey (Understanding Society COVID-19 study, Understanding Society: the UK Household Longitudinal Study) between April 2020-January 2021. Data from 22,421 participants in Waves 6 and 7 of the study were included after excluding missing data. Demographic details in addition to previous survey responses relating to public sector/governmental trust were included as covariates in the main analysis. A logit model was produced to describe the association between public sector/governmental mistrust and the willingness for vaccination with interaction terms included to account for ethnicity/socio-economic status. Results In support of existing literature, we identified those from BAME groups were more likely to be unwilling to take the COVID-19 vaccine. We found that positive opinions towards public sector officials (OR 2.680: 95% CI 1.888 – 3.805) and the UK government (OR 3.400; 95% CI 2.454—4.712) led to substantive increase in vaccine willingness. Most notably we identified this effect to vary across ethnicity and socio-economic status with those from South Asian background (OR 4.513; 95% CI 1.012—20.123) and possessing a negative attitude towards public officials and the government being the most unwilling to be vaccinated. Conclusions These findings suggests that trust in public sector officials play a key factor in the low vaccination rates particularly seen in at-risk groups. Given the additional morbidity/mortality risk posed by COVID-19 to those from lower socio-economic or ethnic minority backgrounds, there needs to be urgent public health action to review how to tailor health promotion advice given to these groups and examine methods to improve trust in public sector officials and the government.

Background: Developing economic and social systems and assuring the efficiency of economic and social processes is the major task for the government of any country. Predictable machine learning (ML) models are used for analyzing data sets that allow more efficient enterprise management. Now a day, the research on Socio-Economic Status (SES) and Machine Learning (ML) is very crucial to find socio-economic inequalities, and take further actions that are preventions, protections, and suppressions. Objectives: The mainobjective of this research is to understand the Socio Economic System issues and predicting SES levels on particular area like Rajahmundry, AP, India using statistical analysis and machine learning methodologies. Methods: In this, we analyze the data that is collected from Rajahmundry (Rajamahandravaram),Andhra Pradesh, India with 48 feature attributes (dimensions), and one target four class attribute (poor, rich, middle, upper-middle ). The SES levels like poor, rich, middle, and upper-middle classes are predicted by 5 ML algorithms. Findings: In this paper, we conduct the statistical analysis of each attribute, and analyze and compare the performance accuracies using confusion matrix, performance parameter (classification accuracy, Precision,Recall, and F1) values and receive operating characteristic (ROC) under AUC values of five efficient ML algorithms like Naïve Bayes, Decision Trees (DTs), k-NN, SVM (kernel RBF) and Random Forest (RF). We observed that the RF algorithm showed better results when compared with other algorithms for the Rajahmundry AP SES dataset. The RF algorithm performs 97.82% of classification accuracy (CA) and time is taken for model construction 0.41 seconds. The next superior performed ML model is DTs with 96.67% of CA and 0.16 seconds for model construction. Novelty: Comprehensive analysis indicates that the novel AP SES Dataset with empirical statistical analysis gives the good results and predicts the SES levels with RF model is very effective.

The current administration of the Republic of the Philippines is seen as an ardent advocate of federalism. This research study purports to explore the appreciation and understanding of the youth – specifically the Liberal Arts students in higher educational institutions who have the knowledge on the government forms, laws, and history of our system of government as regards a possible shift in the system of government. This study utilized descriptive qualitative design through Collaizi’s method of data analysis. Findings show that informants having perceived the possible shift on the system of government of the Philippines, have led to three clustered themes namely: (1) federalism defined, (2) benefits of federalism, and, (3) possible challenges during the transition period. Moreover, it is concluded that informants defined federalism as a system of government where powers are being decentralized to the local government and the latter being independent from the national / central government. Standardized local legislation, increased economic status, and responsive local government were identified as the benefits of federalism. Lack of proper knowledge, constitutional proceedings and amendments, and, costly and time-consuming were cited as the possible challenges during the transition period on the shift in our system of government. We suggest that, in order to actualize federalism, there is a need to enhance governance capabilities through transparency and accountability and a clearer definition of local autonomy should be observed.
