No full textThe book is divided into two parts consisting of eight
chapters, including the introductory and concluding chapters, and an
epilogue. It is a 304 page book including notes and references, which
are not only interesting but are very helpful for any reader interested
in the topic. The introductory chapter sets the stage for the reader,
introducing her to the diversity of nations living in the geographical
boundaries of Pakistan and points to the failure of their integration in
the state project. The author also touches upon the ethnic and
nationalistic struggles played out in Pakistan throughout history and
their relationship with the politics of the left. Furthermore, he
reiterates that mainstream discourse on Pakistan’s history presents the
struggle for separate nation in unified India as a struggle of a
monolith Muslim nation in the sub-continent largely ignoring the ethnic,
cultural and linguistic diversity of these Muslims, thereby undermining
their aspirations for freedom, self-determination and autonomy. The
Bengali and the Baloch freedom movements have been cited as examples of
what he calls the “collective amnesia” of the nation and notes that
resistance, or left-leaning, movements have also been largely ignored in
mainstream discourses on the history of Pakistan
Children in left-behind migrant households: education and gender equality
No full textThis paper analyses the effect of migration of men from rural areas in Pakistan on children in households “left behind” by the migrants. Left-behind households’ expenditure on children’s education and the gendered distribution of these expenditures are two outcomes of main interest. First, it is tested if left-behind households have higher overall expenditures on children’s education. Second, it is tested if migration of men from households reduces gender inequality in households’ expenditures on children’s education. This gendered distribution is analyzed by estimating the effect of migration on the share of households’ education expenditures spent on girls. Migration can affect these expenditures and its gendered distribution through various channels. Men’s migration may lead to women taking over household decisions regarding education expenditures. Migration may also transfer norms and alter peoples’ preferences such as those regarding children’s schooling. To differentiate between the channels two types of migration, permanent migration of men for employment creating “left-behind” households and temporary migration whereby male members migrate for employment for short periods during the year, have been considered. Transfer of norms is expected to operate through temporary migration episodes as well as via permanent migration, while the changes in women’s decision making is expected to operate via permanent migration when the men are absent. The effect of remittances has been further separated from the effect of migration. The paper uses longitudinal data from rural households in Pakistan with additional data collected from a sub-sample of the panel by the author. Fixed effects fixed effects model (FEM) is used to estimate these relationships, reducing endogeneity of migration. The results suggest that migrant and non-migrant households in the sample do not have significantly different expenditures on children’s schooling and education. This is true for both types of migration. Households that receive remittances have higher expenditures on children’s education. A noteworthy result is that left-behind households have girls’ shares that are higher as much as 18 percent than the average. This is not the case for households with temporary migrants, suggesting that women’s decision participation decreases gender inequality in households’ education expenditures. Heckman Selection Model has additionally been estimated to estimate the effect of the migration on households’ expenditure on girls’ education, considering the selection of households into sending girls to school. Heckman Selection model also suggests that left-behind households have higher per girl expenditures. The results of the selection model suggest that being a left-behind household is significantly positively associated with households’ expenditures on girls’ education
Empowerment of Girls and Women in Rural Pakistan : Migration, Decision-making and Consciousness
No full textThis thesis analyses the effect of migration of men on women and children left behind in rural households in Pakistan. Part one analyses the impact on left-behind women’s participation in household decisions and number of hours of work. In part two, the effect on children’s work, children’s education expenditures and on gender differentials in expenditures are analysed. In the last part, it is tested if participation of women in household decisions and women’s consciousness of gender equality, reduce gender differentials in households’ education expenditures. Analysis is based on longitudinal data of rural households in Pakistan (Pakistan Rural Household Panel Survey, IFPRI & IDS, 2012; 2014). Additional data from a sub-sample of the panel collected by the author in the year 2017 has been appended to the panel. Results of the analyses suggest that men’s migration and remittances affect women’s participation in household decisions differently in extended family and nuclear family households. Women are more likely to participate in household’s expenditure decisions if they receive remittances. However, left-behind wives’ participation in households expenditure decisions increases due to remittances only in nuclear households. For agricultural production decisions, left-behind wives in nuclear family households are more likely, while those in extended family households are less likely to participate if they do not receive remittances. Migration of men reduces women’s time spent in households’ own enterprise-related and domestic work. Remittances lower hours spent by recipient women in paid and domestic work. However, left-behind wives in extended family households who do not receive remittances, spend more hours in domestic work. Migrant households do not have significantly higher expenditures on children’s education than non-migrant households. However, remittances increase households’ education expenditures. Independent of remittances, migrant households have higher share of education expenditures spent on education of girls. Girls are also more likely to be sent to school and receive higher education expenditures in migrant households. The analysis also suggests that households where women participate in decisions regarding children’s education have higher shares of expenditures spent on education of girls in the secondary school age group. Households where women participate in education decisions and exhibit consciousness towards gender equality in education, girl children are more likely to attend school. The results also suggest that households where women participate in decisions spend more on the education of girl children.Diese Arbeit analysiert die Auswirkungen der Migration von Männern auf Frauen und Kinder, die in ländlichen Haushalten in Pakistan zurückgelassen werden. Im ersten Teil werden die Auswirkungen auf die Beteiligung zurückgelassener Frauen an Haushaltsentscheidungen und deren Arbeit untersucht. Im zweiten Teil werden die Auswirkungen auf die Arbeit der Kinder, die Bildungsausgaben für Kindern und auf die geschlechtsspezifischen Unterschiede bei den Ausgaben analysiert. Im letzten Teil wird geprüft, ob die Beteiligung von Frauen an Haushaltsentscheidungen und das Bewusstsein der Frauen für die Gleichstellung der Geschlechter die geschlechtsspezifischen Unterschiede bei den Bildungsausgaben der Haushalte verringern. Die Analyse basiert auf Längsschnittdaten ländlicher Haushalte in Pakistan (Pakistan Rural Household Panel Survey, IFPRI & IDS, 2012; 2014). Zusätzliche Daten aus einer Teilstichprobe des Panels, die der Autor im Jahr 2017 erhoben hat, wurden dem Panel beigefügt. Die Ergebnisse der Analysen deuten darauf hin, dass die Migration und Überweisungen von Männern die Beteiligung von Frauen an Haushaltsentscheidungen in Großfamilien- und Kernfamilienhaushalten unterschiedlich beeinflussen. Frauen sind eher an den Ausgabenentscheidungen der Haushalte beteiligt, wenn sie Rücküberweisungen erhalten. Jedoch nimmt die Beteiligung der zurückgelassenen Ehefrauen an den Ausgabenentscheidungen der Haushalte aufgrund von Rücküberweisungen nur in Kernfamilienhaushalten zu. Bei Entscheidungen über die landwirtschaftliche Produktion sind zurückbleibende Ehefrauen, wenn sie keine Rücküberweisungen erhalten, in Kernfamilienhaushalten wahrscheinlicher an Ausgabenentscheidungen beteiligt, als diese Frauen in Großfamilienhaushalten. Die Migration von Männern verringert die Zeit, die Frauen in Haushalten mit eigener Unternehmens- und Hausarbeit verbringen. Rücküberweisungen verringern die Stunden, die die Empfängerfrauen mit bezahlter Arbeit und Hausarbeit verbringen. Zurückgebliebene Ehefrauen in Großfamilienhaushalten, die keine Rücküberweisungen erhalten, verbringen jedoch mehr Stunden mit Hausarbeit. Migrantenhaushalte haben keine wesentlich höheren Ausgaben für die Ausbildung von Kindern als Nicht-Migrantenhaushalte. Allerdings erhöhen Rücküberweisungen die Bildungsausgaben der Haushalte. Unabhängig von Rücküberweisungen haben Migrantenhaushalte einen höheren Anteil an den Bildungsausgaben, die für die Bildung von Mädchen aufgewendet werden. Mädchen aus Migrantenhaushalten werden mit einer höheren Wahrscheinlichkeit zur Schule geschickt und erhalten höhere Bildungsausgaben. Die Analyse deutet auch darauf hin, dass Haushalte, in denen Frauen an Entscheidungen über die Bildung von Kindern beteiligt sind, einen höheren Anteil an den Ausgaben für die Bildung von Mädchen im Sekundarschulalter haben. Haushalte, in denen Frauen an Bildungsentscheidungen beteiligt sind und ein Bewusstsein für die Gleichberechtigung der Geschlechter in der Bildung zeigen, haben eine höhere Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass Mädchen die Schule besuchen. Die Ergebnisse deuten auch darauf hin, dass Haushalte, in denen Frauen an Entscheidungen beteiligt sind, mehr für die Bildung von Mädchen ausgeben

is
a
major challenge
faced in its implementation.
FP utilisation

of provision.
Service statistics, clinic
observations,
in-depth interviews, focus
and natural

discussions are used to
compare the
degree
of access to
FP.
Strengthening
co- ordination mechanisms
between the
service
providers is
an
important
strategy
to
increase FP utilisation.
The findings suggest that
FP decisions
are
mostly
influenced by
men who
remain
concerned, to a varying
degree,
with the
permissibility
of
FP
utilisation
in Islam.
A culturally competent strategy
proposed to increase
utilisation
is to
communicate
to
men that FP is permissible
in Islam. Religious
men are
proposed
vehicles
for
implementing this communication strategy,
basing their
discourse
on socio-cultural
tradition, namely Islamic jurisprudence.

We tried to define the clinical characteristics, risk factors, laboratory, and imagining results of neonates with community-acquired COVID-19. Methods: This prospective multicentered cohort study included 24 neonatal intensive care units around Turkey, wherein outpatient neonates with COVID-19 were registered in an online national database. Full-term and premature neonates diagnosed with COVID-19 were included in the study, whether hospitalized or followed up as ambulatory patients. Neonates without severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) via reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction testing or whose mothers had been diagnosed with COVID-19 during pregnancy were excluded. Results: Thirty-seven symptomatic neonates were included. The most frequent findings were fever, hypoxemia, and cough (49%, 41%, 27%, respectively). Oxygen administration (41%) and noninvasive ventilation (16%) were frequently required; however, mechanical ventilation (3%) was rarely needed. Median hospitalization was 11 days (1-35 days). One patient with Down syndrome and congenital cardiovascular disorders died in the study period. C-reactive protein (CRP) and prothrombin time (PT) levels were found to be higher in patients who needed supplemental oxygen (0.9 [0.1-8.6] vs. 5.8 [0.3-69.2]p= 0.002, 11.9 [10.1-17.2] vs. 15.2 [11.7-18.0]p= 0.01, respectively) or who were severe/critical (1.0 [0.01-8.6] vs. 4.5 [0.1-69.2]p= 0.01, 11.7 [10.1-13.9] vs. 15.0 [11.7-18.0]p= 0.001, respectively). Conclusions: Symptomatic neonates with COVID-19 had high rates of respiratory support requirements. High CRP levels or a greater PT should alert the physician to more severe disease.Turkish Neonatal SocietyThe Turkish Neonatal Society funded the online registration system of the study.
