Children or Material Support: the Determination of Choice

The results of many studies show that in most families with the birth of a child, the material situation worsens. In families with several children, the standard of living is lower than in families with one child. The decrease in per capita income when a child appears in the family is due both to the fact that the total family income is divided among a larger number of family members, and to the fact that the income itself becomes lower, at least during the period of maternity leave. Having a child is a hindrance to improving family well-being. Despite this, some families are going to have a child (in the near future or somewhat later), but some are not going to. Having analyzed how some families differ from others, one can try to understand the determination of the choice between children and material wealth, and identify the factors that influence this choice. The analysis was carried out on the basis of the results of Rosstat surveys, sociological surveys of young people, as well as a number of regional studies (2003–2019). The analysis showed that those who are going to have another child, on average, have a smaller number of existing children, a higher importance of children, higher per capita incomes and a relatively higher assessment of the family's standard of living. Taking these factors into account when developing support measures for families with children will create preconditions for increasing the effectiveness of family and demographic policy in conditions of low and continuing decline in fertility.

Towards a Better Understanding of PTSD/Hypertension Associations: Examining Sociodemographic Aspects

The present study is an examination of sociodemographic and environmental correlates of hypertension and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with the goal of better understanding previously identified PTSD and hypertension associations. Data from 5877 adults up to age 54 were analyzed to examine racial and ethnic differences in hypertension, and relationships of socioeconomic status (SES; total family income), employment status, and marital status, and urbanicity (urban, suburban, or rural habitation) with hypertension and PTSD. Next, a total model was tested to determine which sociodemographic and environmental variables, and/or PTSD were significant independent correlates of hypertension. Higher rates of hypertension were evident among African Americans (13.8%), relative to Caucasian (7.7%) or Hispanic (6.7%) participants (p < 0.001). Low SES (family income under USD 19,000) and unemployment were associated with significantly greater likelihood (p < 0.001) of hypertension (9.8% vs. 7.6% for low SES; 14.3% vs. 8.3% for unemployment) and PTSD (16.6% vs. 8.7% for low SES; 21.3% vs. 9.6% for unemployment). Participants who were married versus those separated or divorced were significantly less likely (p < 0.001) to have hypertension (9.0% vs. 11.9%) or PTSD (10.8% vs. 18.3%). Urbanicity was not significantly associated with hypertension or PTSD. Unemployment and PTSD were the only significant independent factors associated with hypertension.

A Dream Realized

This chapter presents the characteristics and challenges that low-income students face culturally, socially, and academically, and identifies services that have a positive impact on their retention. Low-income students are defined as students whose total family income is below $50,000 a year. While higher education institutions boast about the increase in low-income students enrolling in college, the data show that the retention of these students is not as praiseworthy. Colleges and universities have not been nimble in meeting students where they are academically. Rather, they expect students to navigate the institutional structures and cultures that pre-date the changing demographics of higher education. Recognizing the characteristics of low-income students in relation to education, and understanding the challenges they face, will be helpful to higher education institutions as they create programs to meet the needs of this most vulnerable population.
