Adult Unemployment

This paper describes the distribution of registered unemployment in Com monwealth Employment Service Offices within Sydney in the years 1971-79. In 1979 adult unemployment was concentrated in the centre of the urban area and teenage unemployment in the west. The greatly increased level of un employment since 1975 had not made major changes in this spatial pattern except in the case of adult female unemployment which in the early 1970s was concentrated in the western suburbs, but in the late '70s was highest in inner Sydney. The probable reason for this change is that when unemployment rates rose married women became discouraged workers and/or did not register as unemployed. As a result cyclical changes in the locations of concentrations of unemployed women may reflect imperfect data collection rather than economic causes. Real unemployment of adult women is probably still con centrated in suburban areas as is teenage unemployment while adult male unemployment is mainly a problem in the core of Sydney.

Adult Unemployment

This study used focus group discussions to explore 29 Syrian women’s experiences of being displaced refugees in Lebanon. Women reported intimate partner violence (IPV), harassment, and community violence. They experienced difficult living conditions characterized by crowding and lack of privacy, adult unemployment, and overall feelings of helplessness. Most frequently, they used negative coping strategies, including justification and acceptance of IPV and often physically harmed their own children due to heightened stress. Some sought support from other Syrian refugee women. Although the study did not address the root causes of IPV, the results shed light on women’s experiences and indicate that training them in positive coping strategies and establishing support groups would help them face IPV that occurs in refugee settings.

PurposeUsing data from 2009–2016 across 31 states and union territories, this paper investigates determinants of juvenile delinquency in India as well as explores the nature of the complex relationship between economic variables and crime rate.Design/methodology/approachThe paper employs a panel corrected standard error model due to the presence of heteroskedasticity and contemporaneous correlation. Additionally, due to possible feedback effect from independent variables resulting in endogeneity, a two-step generalized method of moments (GMM) is utilized to estimate a system of equations.FindingsEstimation results indicate that macroeconomic factors – GSDP per capita and adult unemployment rate – are significant in explaining the juvenile crime rate in India. Higher poverty rate and percentage of slums were found to increase juvenile crime. This paper also demonstrates the harmful effects that domestic violence has on juvenile delinquency. Finally, education has a deterring impact on crimes relating to juveniles but deterrence factors do not.Originality/valueWhile some implications are consistent with those found in previous studies of crime in developed and developing countries, the analysis in this paper also reveals unique results. For example, the adult unemployment rate was negatively correlated with juvenile crime, and an increase in police density exhibits a positive association with the juvenile crime rate. Further analysis of crimes by type (property and violent) reveals additional insights. In addition to that, contrary to hypothesis, by employing GMM estimation, the paper finds no evidence of a negative impact of juvenile delinquency on economic growth.
