Exploring work and life satisfaction among older adults in India: Evidence from LASI
No full textBackground: Whether working in old age has a positive impact on overall life satisfaction of older people is a pertinent research question. This paper examined the role of work and occupational characteristics on life satisfaction among older adults in India.
Data and methods: This study utilised data from the first wave of the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (2017–2018). It analysed 30771 older adults aged 60 and above. Descriptive statistics, bivariate analysis and linear regression analysis were applied.
Results: The mean score for life satisfaction was 23.74; slightly higher among men (24.09) than women (23.43). However, the findings from multivariable analysis shows that overall, women were more likely to have better life satisfaction than men after controlling for other characteristics. Never worked (aCoef=-0.55, SE=0.26, p < 0.05; beta=-0.012) and currently working (aCoef=-0.43, SE=0.12, p < 0.001; beta=-0.025) men were less likely to have better life satisfaction than men who are currently not working. Women who worked earlier and currently
not engaged in work had better life satisfaction than men of the same class. Compared to men who were working on their farms, male agricultural labourers were less likely, and women engaged in their own or family farm were more likely to report higher life satisfaction. The study findings demonstrate that financially resourceful and working pensioners were capable of enjoying themselves in later life. Although gender differences exist in life satisfaction in the context of work, the effect sizes were small.
Conclusion: Women, better educated and wealthy, married, and healthy older adults are more likely to be satisfied in life. Encouraging saving practices among people, strengthening the land ownership rights and improving health and financial security among older adults through a life-course approach will contribute to a better quality of life in old age. The research underscores the importance of considering mediating mechanism of other factors while exploring the relationship between work, occupation and life satisfaction
Les dynamiques démographiques. Les espaces de la croissance et de la décroissance
No full textCette planche de l’atlas aborde le rythme et l’intensité des évolutions démographiques, dont l’hétérogénéité révèle des spécificités territoriales. Une typologie des trajectoires de la dynamique démographique depuis 1975, cartographiée au niveau des cantons-ou-villes, met en évidence une structuration spatiale à plusieurs échelles. Les espaces ruraux de la diagonale des faibles densités concentrent les zones de décroissance, tandis que les espaces les plus dynamiques se situent dans les zones littorales. Les agglomérations urbaines présentent aussi un certain dynamisme, mais celui-ci est concentré dans le périurbain tandis que les villes-centre se distinguent par des trajectoires décroissantes. Les DROM sont quant à eux plus dynamiques que la moyenne. Dans la période la plus récente, la croissance se poursuit (bien que ralentie) dans tous les types d'espace à l'exception du rural à habitat très dispersé. Quatre zooms locaux (Lot-et-Garonne, Pas-de-Calais, Vendée, Haute-Marne), cartographiés au niveau communal, viennent préciser cette description

No full textChallenges to Adolescent Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Uptake: an Exploration of Black and Latino American Parents’ Beliefs, Attitudes, and Receptivity to PrEP
No full textBackground: Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake among adolescents has been slow. This has been attributed to factors such as stigma, lack of PrEP awareness, financial burdens, and provider apprehension about prescribing PrEP. In this study, we sought to understand the impact of familial factors on PrEP uptake among youth.
Methods: We conducted three focus groups with parents of Black and Latino adolescents to gather insights about attitudes, beliefs and receptivity to PrEP uptake among adolescents. Parents were recruited through a teen health clinic in New York City. Data were transcribed, codes were developed, data were coded, and an inductive and deductive analytical approach was employed.
Results: We recruited 26 parents. Most participants were female (85%), Black (63%), and an average age of 41 years old. Emergent themes included adherence skepticism, preference for parental consent for PrEP, increased sexual risk-taking concerns, PrEP scientific merit skepticism, and medical mistrust. Subcategories of medical mistrust included historical precedence, governmental genocide conspiracies, and classism.
Conclusion: Parents of Black and Latino adolescents have reservations about PrEP. Attitudes, beliefs, and receptivity to PrEP may have a significant impact on youth seeking and accessing PrEP. Increasing PrEP uptake may include trust-building within minoritized communities to assure parents and youth of just and safe health practices and including parents in HIV prevention initiatives, with special consideration to Black and Latino communities and families
For the Freedom to Marry… or Against It: A Qualitative Study of the Attitudes of Gays and Lesbians Toward Same-Sex Marriage in France
No full textBased on 90 in-depth interviews with French gay men and lesbian women, this article shows that their attitudes toward same-sex marriage depend on how individuals subjectivize homosexuality, reflecting, at the individual level, a general tension between universalism and differentialism. Six identity stances based on this tension are identified and interpreted as organizing the different attitudes toward same-sex marriage rights. These six identity stances result from the interplay between each individual’s experience of minoritization, their value system, and their relationship to respectability politics. These three components shape individual queer sexual identities in a more or less universalist or differentialist way, through an interactive process that can help us to understand individuals’ support for, opposition to, or indifference toward the demand for same-sex marriage rights. Finally, the study provides insights that shed light on processes of subjectivization and minority politics beyond the case of gays and lesbians
