Being Counted: Family Planning and Aboriginal Population, 1967–75

When the results of the 1966 census came out shortly after the 1967 referendum, they revealed something new: Australia’s Aboriginal population was growing, rapidly. This article examines white fears of an Aboriginal ‘population explosion’ and technocratic attempts to slow Aboriginal population growth during the twilight of assimilation policies and the beginnings of ‘self-determination’. It turns to two projects: one conducted by various government departments in remote communities and another through the Family Planning Association of South Australia and Council of Aboriginal Women. As government intervention in Aboriginal lives shifted from top-down institutional approaches to funding Aboriginal organisations themselves to implement government policies, Aboriginal motherhood nonetheless remained a focus for state interventions. These interventions deployed discourses of liberal individualism, development, cultural restoration, and modernity that ‘cloaked’ objectives of population control.

Research on Public Policies to Promote the Organic Connection Between Rural Revitalization and Poverty Alleviation

Poverty alleviation is foundational to maintaining Chinas comprehensive progress towards a moderately prosperous society. Rural revitalization is a crucial measure to further realize the modernization of agriculture and rural areas. The organic connection between these two is a focal issue in the development process of China's agricultural and rural areas, playing a strategic support role in achieving Chinas second centennial goal. Based on this, this paper focuses on the organic connection between poverty alleviation and rural revitalization in the new era. By summarizing the basic background and overall connotations of both, and employing a research methodology that integrates theory with practice, this study explores the achievements and inherent logical relations of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization at this stage, as well as the strategic significance of their integration in various aspects.

The Prevalence of Anemia Among Vietnamese Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

While anemia constitutes a prevalent health issue among children in Vietnam, comprehensive aggregate data remain scarce. Consequently, the objective of this meta-analysis is to establish the pooled prevalence of anemia in the pediatric population of Vietnam. A comprehensive systematic search of existing prevalence studies was conducted up until June 2022, encompassing databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library, as well as reference list analysis. Pooled prevalence estimates, along with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), were calculated using a random-effects model. Publication bias was assessed using the Egger regression test and funnel plot inspection. Subgroup analyses were performed to identify potential variations in anemia prevalence across study groups. The pooled prevalence estimate for anemia among children under 10-year-olds amounted to 35.5% (95% CI = [23.9, 49.1]). Notably, gender-specific analyses unveiled distinct prevalence rates, with 37.8% among males and 33.4% among females. Furthermore, variations in anemia prevalence among Vietnamese children were evident across different demographic strata, encompassing gender, age groups, and rural or poor rural residency. The calculated pooled prevalence of anemia among children in Vietnam revealed a significant burden. Addressing this issue necessitates targeted interventions within specific regions and the implementation of government policies aligned with global targets for the eradication of childhood anemia.

Assessment of the Global Experience of Strategies for Gender Asymmetry Reduction

Gender asymmetry often denotes significant gender inequality, encompassing disparities in societal norms, cultural convictions, and historical legacies. This asymmetry results in an unequal distribution of opportunities, resources, and power between individuals of different genders, with one gender often enjoying certain privileges over the other. This article analyzes the effectiveness of implemented and tested strategies in reducing gender asymmetry, with a special focus on four countries such as the United States, Great Britain, Germany and Kazakhstan. Special attention is paid to comparing approaches and results in different countries, which makes it possible to identify the most successful practices and general trends. Despite the implementation of various government policies and standards aimed at achieving equal pay for employees of all genders, women still tend to receive lower salaries compared to their male counterparts, even when they hold similar positions and perform similar job responsibilities. Through meticulous investigation and the application of statistical methodologies, it is attempted to gauge whether these strategies have contributed to a reduction in gender asymmetry, comparing the statistics from 2019 to 2023 for the outcomes’ evaluation. In conclusion, the article offers recommendations for the development and implementation of effective strategies that can be used by governments and organizations to further promote gender equality.

Association of Geriatric Depressive Symptoms and Government-Initiated Senior Employment Program: A Population-Based Study.

The impact of the government-initiated senior employment program (GSEP) on geriatric depressive symptoms is underexplored. Unearthing this connection could facilitate the planning of future senior employment programs and geriatric depression interventions. In the present study, we aimed to elucidate the possible association between geriatric depressive symptoms and GSEP in older adults. This study employed data from 9,287 participants aged 65 or older, obtained from the 2020 Living Profiles of Older People Survey. We measured depressive symptoms using the Korean version of the 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale. The principal exposure of interest was employment status and GSEP involvement. Data analysis involved multiple linear regression. Employment, independent of income level, showed association with decreased depressive symptoms compared to unemployment (p<0.001). After adjustments for confounding variables, participation in GSEP jobs showed more significant reduction in depressive symptoms than non-GSEP jobs (β=-0.968, 95% confidence interval [CI]=-1.197 to -0.739, p<0.001 for GSEP jobs, β=-0.541, 95% CI=-0.681 to -0.401, p<0.001 for non-GSEP jobs). Notably, the lower income tertile in GSEP jobs showed a substantial reduction in depressive symptoms compared to all income tertiles in non-GSEP jobs. The lower-income GSEP group experienced lower depressive symptoms and life dissatisfaction compared to non-GSEP groups regardless of income. These findings may provide essential insights for the implementation of government policies and community-based interventions.

Uneven infection and government capacity: evidence from Shanghai lockdown

ABSTRACT In April, 2022 the government of Shanghai initiated a severe lockdown in which the city’s 25 million residents were required to remain in their apartment buildings for 2 months. During the lockdown, sub-district (‘Jiedao’) governments were responsible for implementing COVID policies and allocating basic goods to the residents within their local administrative boundaries. This paper documents a strong negative correlation between new COVID-19 infections and the distance to the sub-district boundaries. Such correlation is intensified when the government expenditures and goods accessibility are low. We argue that this pattern results from insufficient local government capacity to serve the entire sub-district; individuals near the boundary may evade regulations and seek private connections to obtain goods or services, thereby increasing their risk of being infected. Our results provide insight into government management in the pandemic context and offer new evidence that geography affects the implementation of government policy even at small local levels.
