Founded in 1923 as Editorial Research Reports, CQ Researcher is noted for its in-depth, unbiased coverage of health, social trends, criminal justice, international affairs, education, the environment, technology, and the economy. Reports are published weekly in print and online 44 times a year by CQ Press, an imprint of SAGE Publications. Each single-themed, 12,000-word report is researched and written by a seasoned journalist. The consistent, reader-friendly organization provides researchers with an introductory overview; background and chronology on the topic; an assessment of the current situation; tables and maps; pro/con statements from representatives of opposing positions; and bibliographies of key sources.

Whitman says pension-reform plans don't apply to police, firefighters - latimes.com - 0 views

  • "New government employees, not public safety employees but new government employees beyond the public-safety realm, are going to have to come on under a different deal," Whitman said at a campaign event earlier this year. "They're going to have to come in under a 401(k) program, what we call a defined contribution program, as opposed to a defined benefit program, and this will get us a long way home towards reducing this huge unfunded pension liability.

Poor housing can destroy a child's future, says Lisa Harker | Society | The Guardian - 0 views

  • News Society Second thoughts Home truths Poor housing can destroy a child's future, says Lisa Harker Share 3 Email Lisa Harker The Guardian, Tuesday 12 September 2006 Britain is hooked on housing. Queues snake round DIY retail parks each weekend, and TV schedules are saturated with home makeover shows. But there is one area where the appetite for all things housing appears to have stopped short.While the government's Every Child Matters programme for child welfare picks out health, safety, economic well-being, making a positive contribution, enjoying and achieving as the critical factors that shape children's lives, there is no explicit recognition of the role that housing plays - despite the fact that more than a million children in Britain are living in poor housing.That figure will come as no surprise to professionals working at the sharp end of the housing crisis, but whether the scale of the problem is grasped by those shaping public policy is far from clear.Earlier this year I was commissioned by Shelter, the housing and homelessness charity, to undertake a comprehensive review of research examining the impact of bad housing on children's future chances. The resulting report, Chance of a Lifetime, published today, documents the powerful influence of poor housing on children's lives and shows how its destabilising impact is felt long into adulthood.
  • Earlier this year I was commissioned by Shelter, the housing and homelessness charity, to undertake a comprehensive review of research examining the impact of bad housing on children's future chances. The resulting report, Chance of a Lifetime, published today, documents the powerful influence of poor housing on children's lives and shows how its destabilising impact is felt long into adulthood.
  • On every aspect of life - mental, physical, emotional, social and economic - living in bad housing can hand children a devastating legacy. Studies show that poor housing can lead to a 25% higher risk of experiencing severe ill-health and disability before they reach middle age. In particular, such children face a greater chance of developing meningitis, infections, asthma or other respiratory problems

  • It can also have a devastating impact on emotional wellbeing. Research shows that homeless children are three to four times more likely to have mental health problems than other children
  • How can a homeless child flourish when they are two to three times more likely to be absent from school and become used to watching their no more able, but well-housed, contemporaries leapfrog their progress? How can a child develop healthily when their home is cold and damp, their chest hurts when they breathe, and they can't sleep at night, as one girl described her experience of living in a house where the heating does not work?
  •  
    Where a child is required to make their home has a lasting effect on their health and their well-being. This carries into society and has an effect there as well.

Parental Depression Affects 15 Million Kids - 0 views

  • Depressed pregnant women may be less likely to get prenatal care
  • Depressed moms may be less attentive or less able to respond in a healthy way to their babies' needs.
  • Parental depression has been linked to children's early signs of, or vulnerability to, having a more "difficult" temperament, including more negativity, less happiness, poorer social skills, more vulnerability to depression, more self blame, less self-worth, and a less effective response system to stress.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Older children and teens may experience stress from a depressed parent
  • "Early in life, we worry most that somehow the fundamental bond between the mother and father and the infant may be weakened because of depression
  • "A little later on, when children are older, parents are vitally important in providing structure, order, encouragement, support, helping with school, helping with friendships, and those processes tend to be disrupted when a parent is depressed,"
  • depression in fathers also has an impact on their children
  •  
    This article focuses on depression. Mothers who are depressed when they are pregnant have a hard time bonding with their children. This falls under the category of home environment and exposure.

Phoenix Best Thrift Store Nobody Knows About - Eve's Treasures - Best Of Phoenix - Phoe... - 0 views

  •  
    I chose going to a thrift store as something to do in the city that would bring me the most enjoyment because my husband and I often go to thrift stores and antique stores to wander and simply lose ourselves together in the things of the past and things of the broken, unwanted, and unused present. I find more treasure in a thrift store that appeals to my heart than I could ever find at the mall.
