Non-formal education is undervalued nowadays. The importance of education establishments is greater for children and young people who come from families with a lower socioeconomic status. In this paper I would like to present the potential and possible changes of Free Educational Centres for children with a lower socioeconomic status. Children using additional educational institutions free of charge can get the chance for a better future.

<p class="Atext"><em>These days sustainability of education becomes more actual the guarantor of which appears to be the availability and multiplicity of education for every human being during the lifetime where the non-formal education takes a significant place. The aim of the article is to update the role of the interest education of children and young people in the context of life-long education when publishing the results of the completed theoretical and empirical research in the sphere of the non-formal education. The empirical research ’Interest education in Latvia and the role of the institutions of interest education’ has been accomplished within the frameworks of the working group of the constructive board of headmasters of the interest educational institutions of Latvia. The results of the survey of the children and young people acknowledge that there is a wide spectrum of motives of choosing the interest education. The choice and popularity of the programmes of the interest education have been defined by several groups of factors. It is important to offer possibilities to attend different interest groups both in the country and in towns thus gaining new out-of –school experience that can further largely result on choosing the career objectives. Both –the researches and the personal experience of the author affirm that the centres of the interest education of the children and youth are the sub-systems of multifunctional environment of the non-formal education in the total environment of the education of Latvia.</em></p>

Pharmaceutical Interventions

In the absence of vaccines to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020 governments had to respond by rely on non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). Socioeconomic inequalities likely influenced the uptake of NPIs. Using Norwegian survey data, we study whether income was associated with increased handwashing, keeping 1 m distance, using facemasks increased use of home office, and less use of public transportation. Except for using facemasks and less public transportation in a non-work context, all analyzed NPIs showed an independent positive association with income. Social disparities in NPI uptake may be important drivers of higher risks of disease outcomes for people of lower socioeconomic status.

Zip Code

This was an exploratory study to assess the association between density of fringe lenders (e.g.payday) and health status. For Louisville, Kentucky, ZIP code level data on hospitalizations and mortalityrates as health measures were compared to fringe bank locations. We found lower socioeconomic status(SES) positively correlated with greater frequency of fringe banks; rates of illness appear to be higher in ZIPcodes with more fringe banks, but this finding was not statistically significant. In conclusion, neighbor-hoods between higher frequencies of fringe banks appear to have poorer health; it is premature to rule in orrule out a direct or indirect association between neighborhood presence of fringe banks, but there is enoughevidence to justify additional research to put any conclusions on a firmer footing.
