Recent literature in the areas of northern and Indigenous housing has underscored the need for increased community self-determination over housing in order to uproot structures of colonial domination and attend to specific cultural and contextual realities, visions and needs—necessary for the sustainable alleviation of a longstanding “housing crisis” in northern Canada. This paper examines differing discourses of Indigenous self-determination through recent efforts by the K'ásho Goťįne Housing Society (KGHS) – an Indigenous community housing organization – and the territorial and federal governments to promote Indigenous self-governance of housing. Drawing on critical analyses of self-determination led by Indigenous scholars, and engaging a series of qualitative interviews with Indigenous and settler policymakers and housing administrators at the community, territorial and federal levels, we examine how differing Indigenous and settler conceptualizations of the self-determination of housing are evident in critical barriers presented by the governance of land and the “compartmentalization” of home. Ultimately, we argue that full self-determination of Indigenous home through housing is fundamentally impeded by current housing governance processes, though the multiscalar nature of Indigenous home simultaneously challenges the capitalist, settler-colonial structures holding up these processes, and also cultivates the everyday, placed-based resistance of the individual, family and community by creating space to imagine housing through Indigenous epistemologies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"118 ","pages":"Article 103278"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143132834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building on Durkheimian theory, this paper examines explanations for these changes, hypothesizing that differences in cohort wellbeing are related to variations in social integration associated with birth cohorts and national socio-political contexts. Age–period-specific suicide rates of men and women from 1950 to 2020 in 19 highly developed western nations, including 26 birth cohorts, born from 1875 to 2004, are examined using estimable function analysis and age–period–cohort characteristic (APCC) models. Cohort variations in wellbeing are significantly greater in English-speaking nations, which have traditionally provided less institutionalized support and social integration than continental European nations. Age-specific suicide rates are larger for cohorts with childhood demographic characteristics associated with less social integration (relative cohort size and family structure). Major historical events associated with social integration in formative years of late adolescence and young adulthood also influence cohort wellbeing, with higher age-specific rates for cohorts experiencing the Great Depression of the 1930s and health pandemics of the early 20th and 21st centuries and lower rates for those experiencing periods of war and national conflict. However, the magnitude of these associations is strongly influenced by socio-political context. Negative effects of cohort characteristics are muted and positive effects are enhanced in the continental nations. In addition, patterns of associations vary by age and gender. Results remain with strong controls for the pace of change, additional measures of national context, and sensitivity analyses.","PeriodicalId":48400,"journal":{"name":"Social Forces","volume":"123 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143077457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different from previous studies emphasizing that environmental protection and economic development are incompatible, we find that there is not only a notable improvement in ecological environment quality, but also the regional economic developed, as measured by the GDP per capita, in ecology-related development-restricted areas. To figure out how to achieve this balance, we first focus on the underlying mechanism of environmental enhancement. Our results indicate that improvement is primarily attributed to the withdrawal of polluting enterprises, the reduction in the supply of industrial land and the receipt of ecological transfer from the central government. Subsequently, the internal mechanisms analysis of economic growth reveals that the primary and tertiary industry have achieved significant growth, due to the enhancement of agricultural and livestock production and the expansion of local tourist attractions. Our findings provide valuable insights into the potential for achieving a win-win situation between environmental protection and economic development in the context of territorial space planning.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":309,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Impact Assessment Review","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 107844"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143132645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work focused on artisanal fishers is the first to (a) determine their perception of noise exposure, (b) quantitatively assess their exposure to noise in small vessels, and (c) determine the economic benefits of implementing preventive measures versus the treatment scenario of noise-induced hearing loss in this target group. The results indicate that most of them work at risk of noise exposure and are unaware of it. All tasks and scenarios analysed exceed the maximum permissible noise exposure limits, mainly caused by boat engines. The economic analysis showed that the benefits (savings) of the preventive measures outweighed the expenses (costs) of medical treatment for potential artisanal fishers with hearing loss. The investment spent on preventive measures recovered after 8.65 years. Other benefits correspond to the decongestion of the public healthcare network and reduction in public expenditure.

As reported in this research note, we identified, collected, and harmonized administrative data on child welfare agency investigations, confirmed maltreatment, and placements into out-of-home care for 44 countries in the Global North. We analyzed 15 sociodemographic factors commonly associated with child maltreatment and child welfare system contact. Results support three core conclusions. First, data are much more available on late-stage system contact (e.g., foster care caseloads) than for early-stage system contact (e.g., investigations). Second, whereas early-stage contact tended to be on the rise in most countries, late-stage contact was stable or declining. Cross-national variation in these trends was generally less substantial than cross-national variation in levels of child welfare system contact, indicating relatively stable cross-national differences. Third, cross-national variation in out-of-home care largely reflected, but was not reducible to, regional and sociocultural variation: we find little evidence for universal drivers of foster care caseloads across the Global North.</p>","PeriodicalId":48394,"journal":{"name":"Demography","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143081707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Extant work has demonstrated that women are less likely to reapply to employers who previously rejected them for jobs in male-typed job domains. However, these studies leave unexamined whether women will reapply to other employers in those job domains and, if so, whether this pattern differs in female-typed job domains, hampering our confidence in the contribution of these patterns to gender segregation. This paper investigates whether employer rejection dampens women’s job-seeking persistence more than men’s for all employers and across male versus female job domains. Regression analyses of more than 700,000 applications for over 200,000 job postings by roughly 70,000 freelancers in an online contract labor market demonstrate that women are more likely than men to reduce job-seeking activity from all employers following rejections in the male-typed IT and programming job domain. Women are also more likely than men to seek jobs in other domains outside IT and programming following job-seeking rejection. By contrast, female freelancers in female-typed writing and translation jobs do not exhibit similar gendered behavior patterns. Implications for research on gender segregation, careers, and hiring are discussed.","PeriodicalId":48400,"journal":{"name":"Social Forces","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143072369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
