Risk assessment of the jhumias in eastern Himalayan region: An IPCC framework approach

Climate change is intricately linked with amplifying existing risk across multiple sectors, and assessment of the indigenous farmers practising jhum (jhumias) is highly necessary for developing adaptation strategies in the biogeographically-diverse northeast Himalayan region. The current study estimates the Shared Socio-Economic Pathway 2 (SSP2) – 4.5 hazard scenario for the year 2040–2059 using Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project 6 (CIMP6) (mean projection) and Multi-Model Ensemble. The remaining risk dimensions (exposure and vulnerability) were derived from household survey data involving 450 households from 18 villages representing six districts, three states, and four watershed basins. This framework used an indicator approach for defining risk dimensions and a spatial approach for the final risk presentation and classification. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to select and group the indicators. All chosen indicators underwent varimax rotation, and factors with eigenvalues greater than one were considered for grouping into components. Different weights for each indicator were defined using the Shanon entropy method. Climate change risk was found to be highest in Khudengthabi village in Chandel district, followed by Sangshak village in Ukhrul district. Lack of land ownership, low yield, no alternative livelihood option, an insufficient market, and unavailability of labour force are some of the major factors contributing to higher risk in the area. The study recommends skill development and alternative livelihood programmes with a new education policy that encourages the dropout youth to continue in schools and colleges. Subsequent policy initiatives should prioritize villages, indicators and components with high index scores to optimize resource allocation and facilitate quicker adaptation.

Macro-level predictors of child removals: Do social welfare benefits and services reduce demand for children’s out of home placements?

The purpose of this macro-level study is to examine the effects of social welfare benefits and services on the demand for child removals. The study is based on the panel data of Finnish municipalities (N = 293) and their social welfare indicators for the period 2010–2021. Linear regression analysis was conducted to analyze the associations between the dependent variable (child removals) and the main predictors (child welfare notifications, family support services, social assistance). The community-level social risk factors were controlled for. It was found that child welfare notifications and family support services were associated with child removals. The more cases there are of children accessing the child protection system, the more cases there also are of child removals in a municipality. On balance, additional income support seems to reduce the demand for child removals. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that community-level social risk factors (drop-out youth, unemployment, low education level) were in a negative relationship with child removals, which would tentatively suggest that the threshold for child welfare notifications is actually higher in the deprived communities than in the prosperous areas. Relatively, it is more difficult for children to access child protection services in the communities with a high unemployment rate and low education level and also if there is a high proportion of youths out of education, employment, and training. The present study underlines the significance of a macro-level approach to child protection.

Climate-Induced Risk Assessment of Rural and Urban Agroforestry Managers of Aizawl District, Northeast India

Climate change exerts a substantial influence on global livelihood security. This research aims to elucidate the risk faced by agroforestry managers of urban and rural areas. Adhering to the IPCC risk framework, we structured the experimental design and adopted an indicator-based methodology to delineate the risk dimensions. Altogether, 105 households from 7 villages in Aizawl district, Mizoram, India, were considered for the study. For indicator identification, we conducted a comprehensive literature review and subsequently employed principal component analysis to select relevant indicators. Finally, risk was determined using the index value of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability. Additionally, we also developed a regression model and integrated it into ArcGIS to generate a spatial risk map. Out of 69 indicators identified, 52 were selected for final assessment after PCA analysis. Our findings underscore the higher susceptibility of urban agroforestry managers to climate change which was in agreement to our hypothesis that the risk index of agroforestry households increases with altitude while it decreases with the distance from Aizawl headquarter. Furthermore, we observed that households residing at higher altitudes exhibit greater vulnerability. Key determinants contributing to elevated risk in the region encompass land ownership constraints, diminished yields, traditional farming practices with no institutional help, and a dearth of available labour resources. The study advocates the implementation of climate smart agroforestry practices integrated with agricultural credit schemes and an educational policy designed to enrol dropout youths.

The Impact of Parental and Peer Attachment on Gaming Addiction among Out-of-School Adolescents in South Korea: The Mediating Role of Social Stigma.

Most studies on gaming addiction have targeted adolescents in schools, while studies on gaming addiction among out-of-school adolescents remain scarce. Therefore, this study investigated the influence of parental and peer attachment on gaming addiction, mediated by social stigma among Korean out-of-school adolescents. The Dropout Youth Panel Survey was used for a sample of 437 dropout adolescents. The results showed that out-of-school adolescents' social stigma fully mediated the relationship between parental and peer attachment and gaming addiction. Parental attachment significantly predicted out-of-school adolescents' gaming addiction by decreasing their social stigma. Peer attachment also influenced gaming addiction in out-of-school adolescents via the mediated effects of social stigma. No direct effect of parental and peer attachment on gaming addiction was found. Social stigma played an important role in decreasing levels of gaming addiction. In addition, our study revealed that the direct and total effects of parental attachment on gaming addiction were greater than the effect of peer attachment. This study empirically verified the importance of social stigma based on modified labeling theory and provides a valid mechanism to describe how Korean out-of-school adolescents develop gaming addictions. The findings suggest effective strategies for prevention and treatment for dropout adolescents in South Korea.

“I live one day at a time”: Future orientation among Muslim high school dropouts in Israel

Abstract This article offers a phenomenological examination of the future orientation of 24 Muslim male high school dropout youth in Israel. This research is important in light of the multiple social exclusions, or structural vulnerabilities, these youths experience on the basis of poverty, stigmatized religious-national identity, and dropping out of school. The study’s findings reveal three prominent future orientations: a refusal to engage in the future and a preference for examining the present; a closed future (expressed as a strong belief that the distant future will likely resemble the present); and a primary aspiration to become solo self-employed (i.e., occupationally independent), along with a unique rationale for explaining this aspiration. The Discussion expands on the impact of the youths’ structural vulnerability on their future orientation, the symbolism of their aspiration to be self-employed in the future, and the linkages between culture, future orientation, and inequality.
