Added value of multiple IMCHA research projects on maternal, newborn and child health policy and practice in Nigeria
Get PDFThe Innovating for Maternal and Child Health in Africa (IMCHA) initiative was designed to generate findings that could influence policies and practices at national and subnational levels. This case study documents the added value of IMCHA projects on maternal, newborn and child health policy and practice in Nigeria. Three research teams implemented five research projects representative of different country contexts, allowing analysis of different facets of MNCH problems including barriers to service utilisation and perinatal depression, as well as impacts of the projects. Future research funding could build on the IMCHA model to ensure political involvement and ownership at national level.Global Affairs CanadaCanadian Institutes of Health Researc

Spatial analysis of COVID-19 and socio-economic factors in Sri Lanka
Get PDFUsing data from the Epidemiological Department of Sri Lanka, a cluster analysis was carried out based on COVID-19 data and demographic data of districts, towards developing a mathematical model that can identify and describe socio-economic factors related to pandemic measures. Population and population density, monthly expenditure, and education level are suggested as main factors for policy makers consideration. Findings can support future evidence-based COVID-19 policies, and further utilized as a foundation for other epidemiological models. A challenge in the study was the presumed disparity between actual COVID-19 cases and observed COVID-19 cases, thereby depicting an inaccurate measure of COVID-19 severity

Life-cycle wage premiums and STEM in Brazil
Get PDFThis paper estimates the life-cycle wage premiums of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) college graduates and STEM workers occupations in Brazil. Using data from the 2010 Brazilian Demographic Census, we find there is 12.2% premium associated to majoring in STEM fields. This premium is lower than the premium of traditional fields such as Medicine and Law as well as the premium associated with STEM degrees observed in developed economies such as Canada and the US. We provide evidence that this is not connected to the premium to working in STEM occupations but rather to a poor transition from college to jobs in STEM occupations. Breaking the analysis by gender, we find the premium associated to majoring in STEM fields is similar for women and men. However, women are less likely to survive in STEM throughout the life cycle
