Covid-19 in Ländern mit niedrigem oder mittlerem Einkommen: Das Beispiel Indien
No full textZusammenfassungDie in Ländern mit niedrigem und mittlerem Einkommen (LMICs) vorherrschenden Bedingungen, zum Beispiel ein schlechter Gesundheitszustand der Bevölkerung und eine unzureichende Gesundheitsinfrastruktur, können dort enorme menschliche und wirtschaftliche Schäden eines Covid-19-Ausbruchs hervorrufen. Aus diesem Grund haben LMICs mehrere präventive Maßnahmen ergriffen und folgen dabei häufig der Politik von Ländern mit hohem Einkommen. Unterschiede in der Zusammensetzung der Erwerbsbevölkerung, im Zugang zu sozialer Sicherheit und in den Lebensbedingungen könnten jedoch bedeuten, dass diese Maßnahmen für LMICs nicht geeignet sind. Nitya Mittal, Rupa Viswanath und Sebastian Vollmer untersuchen die in LMICs vorherrschenden Bedingungen, die sich auf die Morbidität und Mortalität im Zuge eines Covid-19-Ausbruchs auswirken könnten, und erörtern die Eignung der weit verbreiteten Präventionsmaßnahmen für LMICs
COVID-19 pandemic, losses of livelihoods and uneven recovery in Pune, India
No full textAbstract This study examines the patterns of losses in livelihoods, income and consumption expenditure among slum dwellers in Pune, a city in western India, two years after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. A four-round panel dataset is used for this study with two rounds collected before (in-person in 2018 and 2019) and two rounds collected after (via phone interviews in 2020 and 2022) the start of the pandemic. Although at the macro-level gross domestic product and unemployment rates had started to recover by mid-2020, the results of this study show that recovery of livelihoods among individuals living just above subsistence level has been very limited and uneven even two years after the start of the pandemic. Additionally, younger and less educated individuals are more vulnerable to welfare losses. Examining food consumption patterns, consumption of cereals recovered to pre-pandemic levels by 2022 but the consumption of fruits and vegetables remained below the 2019 level, thus having important implications for nutritional health.Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 202
Social cohesion among Syrian and Turkish children, adolescents, and young adults in Turkey
No full textAbstract Turkey has received a large influx of Syrian refugees since the start of Syrian civil war in 2011. Integration and social cohesion have become important issues for public policy in Turkey. We study social cohesion among young Turkish nationals and Syrian refugees. Our study sample comprises of adolescents and young adults (12–30 years), and children (6–11 years) who participated in events of the “Education Program for Syrian Refugees and Host Communities” (BILSY) program conducted by the German Corporation for International Cooperation (GIZ). Social cohesion among adolescents and young adults is measured along three dimensions: sense of belonging, trust, and relational capacity. For children, we use behavioural games to measure two dimensions of social cohesion – altruism and trust. Our results show high social cohesion for both age groups, though lack of trust among Turkish nationals towards Syrian nationals is an area of concern. We also evaluate the impact of participation in BILSY program events using a randomised design and find that it had no impact on social cohesion. Our article adds to the limited literature on social cohesion among children and youths in countries affected by forced displacement.Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit https://doi.org/10.13039/50110001109
The Double Burden of Malnutrition in Bangalore, India
No full textDouble burden of malnutrition (DBM) i.e. coexistence of under and over nutrition, is
an emerging issue in most of the low and middle-income countries of the world. Using
field survey data conducted in and around the city of Bangalore, India in 2018, we
examine the patterns of DBM among women, young children (0-6 years), older
children (7-18 years) and intrahousehold DBM between mother and children. A
unique aspect of the survey is that it is conducted in an area undergoing rapid
urbanization, which is one of the factors responsible for DBM and can inform on the
future of DBM in India. Compared to undernutrition, the prevalence of over-nutrition
is much higher in our study area. We find that, like other developing countries, the
socio-economic distance in prevalence of under and over nutrition among women has
decreased over time. Overnutrition among women is no longer an urban
phenomenon. Similar trends were observed for older children. For the younger
children, on the other hand, the socio-economic and locational differences persist,
suggesting that this age group is not witnessing nutritional transition yet.
Intrahousehold burden of DBM has also increased over time and the risk increases
with maternal education. Though under and over nutrition are opposite in nature,
both have several common drivers, suggesting a possibility of integrated approach to
tackle DBM. Several existing programmes in India such as ICDS, PDS, school meal
program provide excellent infrastructure to roll out policies and interventions,
especially diet-based programmes, aimed at both under and over nutrition

Information on different dimensions of social cohesion such as belongingness, trust, altruism and social relations, along with socio-demographic information, was collected from a sample of 1305 adolescents and young adults (12–30 years), and 685 children (6–11 years). Data was collected through field interviews between November 2018 – January 2019 in Ankara, Istanbul, and in the bordering cities of Mardin, Gaziantep, Hatay and Şanlıurfa. The sample was selected using a cluster randomised design among the participants of the “Education Program for Syrian Refugees and Host Communities” (BILSY) program conducted by the German Corporation for International Cooperation (GIZ) in Turkey
