Psychosocial Conditions

Children and mothers’ cortisol production in response to family psychosocial conditions, including parenting demands, family resource availability and parental conflict, has been extensively studied in the United States and Europe. Less is known about how such family dynamics relate to family members' cortisol in societies with a strong cultural emphasis on cooperative caregiving. We studied a cumulative indicator of cortisol production, measured from fingernails, among BaYaka forager children (77 samples, n = 48 individuals) and their parents (78 samples, n = 49) in the Congo Basin. Men ranked one another according to locally valued roles for fathers, including providing resources for the family, sharing resources in the community and engaging in less marital conflict. Children had higher cortisol if their parents were ranked as having greater parental conflict, and their fathers were seen as less effective providers and less generous sharers of resources in the community. Children with lower triceps skinfold thickness (an indicator of energetic condition) also had higher cortisol. Parental cortisol was not significantly correlated to men's fathering rankings, including parental conflict. Our results indicate that even in a society in which caregiving is highly cooperative, children's cortisol production was nonetheless correlated to parental conflict as well as variation in locally defined fathering quality.

Coordination And Collaboration

Similar developments in education and social services offer an opportunity for these two systems to come together to better meet the needs of all children and families. both systems are seeking to be inclusive, to decategorize, and to address growing problems and decreasing resources with coordination and collaboration. these movements have joined forces in what is called the “school-linked service movement,” of which the family resource center idea is representative. this article explores this idea by identifying lessons learned in the development of family resource centers in kentucky and discussing policy issues that are essential for both education and social services to address to assure continued development of this movement.

Economic Necessity

AbstractWomen incorporate their labour in the family businesses owned by their husbands. Their labour is an important family resource for business survival but they do not reap the benefits proportional to their contributions. Most of them are resigned to the objective gender inequalities. Economic necessity, the absence of viable alternatives and the ideology of women's roles make their compliance inevitable. The enhancement of economic and social status resulting from their incorporation also provides a strong incentive for their continued cooperation.

The Relationship

Using 2 questionnaires, we examined the relationship between family resource management styles and life adjustment among 271 low-income single mothers in China. The results indicated that there were significant differences in family resource management styles depending on the educational background of the single mothers and their reason for heading the family. The women also reported significant differences in life adjustment. The interaction effect of resource management styles and monthly income on life adjustment was significant. Specifically, resource management styles and educational background significantly predicted the women's life adjustment.

This study examined the transformation of the family’s resource supply system, taking into account the educational strategies of its members. It is substantiated that the development of the family as a social institution becomes possible only through the creation of an open system of its resource supply in compliance with the principles of joint activities and gender equality, which ensures the integration of individual functions of the family and higher education. On the issue of women’s access to available resources, including educational ones, the work revealed a social contradiction, when, on the one hand, women retain an active position in the provision of resources to the family, there is equal access with men to information and intellectual resources, on the other hand, there is a limited access of women to power, material and financial resources. In the field of complex analysis and assessment of the family's resource supply, the authors have proposed new indicators of information-technological and educational growth of a social institution: technologies of housekeeping; use of information technologies in the family resource supply system. The conclusion is made about the growing role of modern technologies of public participation, contributing to the improvement of the status of women and strengthening their role in the resource provision of the family by increasing the educational level and status.

Social Security Benefits

The Scotland Act 2016 devolved powers over eleven social security benefits (including Carer’s Allowance) providing Scotland with some, albeit limited, opportunity to differentiate itself in terms of welfare policy progressivity. The Carers (Scotland) Act 2016 set out the strategy for supporting those who limit their employment or educational enrolment due to the responsibility of caring for an adult or child with a health condition. Using a microsimulation of Scottish data from the Family Resource Survey, this article explores the potential impact, on income and poverty rates of carer households, of raising the level of CA by various amounts and by changing the eligibility criteria. It concludes that, while the Scottish Government’s ambitions are too modest to fully support their progressive rhetoric, or to change the overall income inequality landscape, the reforms in targeted policy do make a substantial difference to the lived experience to carers in poverty and, by extension, to the receipt of that care.
