In addition to the elderly, Minorities across all age groups in the U.S. are amongst those hardest hit by the virus. The disparate impact has been attributed to various enduring problems related to the social determinants of health adversely affecting Minorities. The present study explores the relationship between the pandemic, public policy, and race/ethnicity-based vulnerability, as the three have fused to disproportionately impact Minorities. We ask, does greater stringency of state measures aimed at controlling the spread of the virus lead to improved mortality rates for Blacks, Hispanics, and Whites equally? And, if not, to what extent does the role of pre-existing and COVID-specific vulnerability play in determining outcomes observed between groups? To answer these questions, we rely on a mix of correlational and regression analyses. Our findings point to the highly divergent impact of public policy and vulnerability on COVID-19 mortality. This suggests that state-led policy to address both the short-term and long-term consequences of the pandemic needs to account for the particular nature of vulnerability affecting Minorities in the U.S.","PeriodicalId":42478,"journal":{"name":"Forum for Social Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44086470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within the framework of budget reduction policies, this confrontation has led to savings on the productive wage bill within the public hospital rather than on medical fees or industrial profits, resulting in the elimination of beds and a reduction in the number of permanent staff, while administrative employment has increased for management staff. In the face of the pandemic, the mobilization of health care workers was able to demonstrate its effectiveness, compensating for the deficits in equipment and organization from above. Mutual aid is highly contextualized, based on local logics and interaction configurations. If mutual aid prevailed overall, exhaustion was spreading among the troops before the second wave and then the third wave. At the same time, the management did not involve the healthcare teams more in the decisions, contrary to certain participative attempts in the past. The management team, which was not involved in the crisis, tended to reassert its presence as if nothing had happened, even though a distinction had to be made between a type of management that was close to the patients and a type of management that was in control and enforced the hierarchy.","PeriodicalId":42478,"journal":{"name":"Forum for Social Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/07360932.2021.1946706","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42928692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Beyond a description of the different health care provision schemes, we offer a critical review of some of the key considerations to account for in evaluating the performance of national health care systems during the pandemic. The text is organized in three parts. Part 1 provides an overview of the classification of international health care systems, and the role of the public sector in health care provision. These features condition the varying approaches taken to the pandemic and their relative effectiveness. Exploration of the particularities of the decentralized Spanish system concludes the part. Part 2 presents a snapshot of the financial situation of the systems before the impact of the pandemic. Part 3 reviews a set of factors that ought to be considered in performance evaluations of the COVID-19 response, with emphasis on the Spanish case as an illustrative example. These factors include caution in evaluating outcomes (cases, deaths), and the importance of accounting for the political and baseline demographic and socioeconomic factors that have shaped the severity of the pandemic in each country, among others.","PeriodicalId":42478,"journal":{"name":"Forum for Social Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138527918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study builds a robust measure of financial development that captures the state of financial development in Africa. We adopt the measure for examining the relationship between 1996 and 2015. Our results agree with a priori expectation. Overall, we find a reducing effect of financial development on absolute poverty but this does not affect relative poverty. Private credit has a poverty-reducing effect; however, total financial development and financial inclusion do not affect poverty in African countries. Also, stability and efficiency increase poverty levels. Considering the low level of financial inclusion in the continent, it is likely that financial development will reduce poverty in the continent if the poor can access credits. Our results should be interpreted with caution, the commercial banking model may not adequately address poverty in Africa. Hence, much should not be expected in policy circles from financial development for poverty reduction in the present state of financial development in Africa.","PeriodicalId":42478,"journal":{"name":"Forum for Social Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/07360932.2021.1896564","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49513596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a consequence, a myriad of concomitant economic and social activities has been frozen. Many countries have had to enforce border blockages, travel restrictions and quarantine. The pandemic has changed consumers’ attitudes significantly and driven individuals and households to the state of panic buying. This paper examines the household stockpiling in Vietnam in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect the data across the country. The empirical results show that householders’ education and household sizes are positively associated with the propensity that a household stocks up. However, the likelihood of a family stockpiling is lowered when members receive information about the pandemic from formal sources. There are also notable differences among the essential items being stockpiled by different households. Specifically, households living in urban areas or near (super)markets are more inclined to stock up food than other goods. By contrast, households with members working as doctors tend to spend a large portion of their stockpiling budget on medication.","PeriodicalId":42478,"journal":{"name":"Forum for Social Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/07360932.2021.1904431","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41626430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
