We explore the relationship between farming practice changes made by households coping with huge demographic, economic, and ecological they have seen in last 10 years household food security. examine whether that been introducing new practices, such as improved management of crops, soil, land, water, livestock (e.g. cover micro-catchments, ridges, rotations, pastures, trees) technologies seeds, shorter-cycle drought-tolerant varieties) are more likely to be secure than less innovative...
This article uses 2020 Census data to document recent trends in suburbanization, ethnoracial diversity, and residential segregation the United States. It considers variation across inner-ring suburbs, outlying exurban areas at metropolitan (metro) fringe. Suburbanization has recently continued, albeit more slowly than 1990s 2000s. Nearly two-thirds of all metro residents now live fueled by change among minorities. For first time, a majority Blacks reside suburbs. America’s especially have...
Population aging is being experienced by many rural communities in the U.S., as evidenced increases median age and high incidence of natural population decrease. The implications these changes structure for daily lives residents such have received little attention. We address this issue current study examining relationship between availability service-providing establishments U.S. 1990 2010. Using data mainly from Census Bureau Labor Statistics, we estimate a series fixed-effects regression...
The Great Recession of 2007-2009 was the most severe and lengthy economic crisis in US since Depression 1930s. impacts on population were multi-dimensional, but operated largely through local labor markets.
Abstract This article examines changes in concentrated poverty the rural United States between 2000 and 2012. Using data from decennial census American Community Survey, we address three main objectives. First, document number share of counties with rates above 20, 30, 40 percent, stratifying our sample by metropolitan status. Second, use exploratory spatial methods to identify geographic patterns county‐level dynamics Third, estimate population living high‐poverty counties, track over time...
COVID-19 has had dramatic impacts on economic outcomes across the United States, yet most research pandemic’s labor-market a national or urban focus. We overcome this limitation using data from U.S. Current Population Survey’s supplement to study pandemic-related labor-force in rural and areas May 2020 through February 2021. find pandemic generally more severe adults than their counterparts. Urban were often go unpaid for missed hours, be unable work, look work due COVID-19. However, workers...
Gender-based violence (GBV) is a significant and widespread social problem concern for human health. The determinants of GBV are complex include many factors that sensitive to the impacts climate change. However, links between have been understudied relative other In this narrative review, we describe how change can shape incidence through its effects on physiology psychological well-being, economic natural resources, migration patterns, access critical infrastructure services. Empirical...
Environmental stressors, and their downstream social economic impacts, can affect a broad set of processes outcomes. One growing line research examines how climatic environmental exposures in early life later-life outcomes, which occur through biological, developmental, socioeconomic mechanisms. We contribute historical perspective to this literature by leveraging unique, linked census data from twentieth-century America (1900-1940). match these temperature precipitation estimates the PRISM...
Abstract The growth in macro‐level income inequality the United States is well established, but less known about patterns of at subnational scales and how they vary between within rural urban localities. Using data from Decennial Census American Community Survey, we produce estimates within‐county 1970 to 2016 analyze differences levels, persistence high (low) inequality, populations' exposure across rural‐urban continuum. We find that has historically been higher non‐metropolitan than...
Climate change is expected to undermine population health and well-being in low- middle-income countries, but relatively few analyses have directly examined these effects using individual-level data at global scales, particularly for reproductive-age women. To address this lacuna, we harmonize nationally representative from the Demographic Health Surveys on reproductive health, body mass index (BMI), temporary migration 2.5 million adult women (ages 15 49) approximately 109,000 sites across...
This article addresses measurement challenges that have stymied contemporary research on the working poor. The authors review previously used schemes and discuss conceptual assumptions underlie each. Using 2013 March Current Population Survey data, estimate national- race-specific rates of poverty using more than 125 measures. then evaluate association between each measure a latent construct factor analysis develop index derived from these results. Finally, multivariate regression models to...
This article explores recent racial and ethnic inequalities in poverty, estimating the share of poverty differentials that can be explained by variation family structure workforce participation. The authors use logistic regression to estimate association between race, structure, They then decompose between‐race differences risk quantify how disparities marriage work explain observed log odds poverty. 47.7% 48.9% Black–White between‐group variance these two factors, while only 4.3% 4.5%...
Objectives. To demonstrate how inferences about rural-urban disparities in age-adjusted mortality are affected by the reclassification of rural and urban counties United States from 1970 to 2018.Methods. We compared estimates over time, produced through a time-varying classification counties, with counterfactual disparities, assuming no changes since 1970. evaluated rates decade assess selectivity reclassification.Results. found that amplified accounted for more than 25% disadvantage...
