It's Not Just Income That Matters

It's Not Just Income That Matters

Income poverty is an important but insufficient measure of economic hardship for children
In a study just published by the prestigious journal Demography, Anika Schenck-Fontaine (Leibniz Institute for Educational Trajectories) and Lidia Panico (Institut National d’Études Démographiques) looked at multiple economic hardship combinations and how they are associated with children’s behavior problems between ages 3 and 7.
Promoting Social Mobility and Equal Opportunities in Europe

Promoting Social Mobility and Equal Opportunities in Europe

What do we know about chances of social mobility in Europe? To what extent can educational and labour market policies contribute to more equal societies?

Neighbourhood Conditions and Old-Age Depression

Neighbourhood Conditions and Old-Age Depression

What role do childhood experiences play in how individuals react to their environment?
Gergő Baranyi and colleagues used data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) to assess longitudinal associations of neighbourhood nuisances and access to services with depression among older European adults. They found that those exposed to neighbourhood nuisances, i.e., higher poverty, more neighbourhood problems (e.g., crime, noise, littering) or higher air pollution, had a 36 per cent increased chance of developing depression.
