SUMMARY:Extreme Poverty and Health in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Update: See the video from the webinar >> \nStudies show that a growing number of U.S. families have incomes so low that the difficulties of their living situations may be masked by thinking of the poor as a homogeneous group. For instance\, since the mid-1990s the number of families living on less than $2.00 in cash per person per day has more than doubled. Over the same interval\, a smaller share of government social welfare spending has gone to the deeply poor. \nThis webinar addresses issues such as how these families subsist\, what public assistance they receive\, and what their health challenges are. It features presentations from key Johns Hopkins researchers on this topic: sociologist Kathryn Edin\, economist Robert Moffitt\, and epidemiologist Jacky Jennings. It is moderated by sociologist Andrew Cherlin. Their presentations will be followed by 10-15 minutes of Q&A. \nThis webinar was co-hosted by the Hopkins Population Center and PRB’s Center for Public Information on Population Research\, with funding from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.

SUMMARY:U.S. Marriage\, Divorce\, Childbearing Trends Bring New Risks for Parents\, Children
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: See videos of the presentations >> \nIncreased childbearing outside marriage\, more parents with children from more than one partner\, and a shrinking share of married people in the U.S. population have brought new complexity to U.S. family life\, and risks for the health and well-being of children and parents. \nSeveral noted demographers and social researchers explore current trends and their implications at “The Vow Factor: Marriage\, Divorce\, and Family Formation and Their Impact on Health and Well-Being\,” a briefing for members of Congress and their staff sponsored by California Congresswomen Lucille Roybal-Allard\, the Population Association of America\, and the Association of Population Centers. \nThe presenters at the April 17\, 2015 event include: \n\nRobert Moffitt\, professor of economics\, Johns Hopkins University.\nAndrew Cherlin\, professor of sociology and public policy\, Department of Sociology\, Johns Hopkins University.\nLisa Berkman\, professor of public policy and epidemiology\, Harvard University.\nH. Elizabeth Peters\, a labor economist and demographer and director of the Center on Labor\, Human Services\, and Population\, Urban Institute.

SUMMARY:Children of Incarcerated Parents
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: See a video of the webinar >> \nThe United States has more than 2 million people behind bars\, and 45 percent were living with their children before they were imprisoned. U.S. children of incarcerated parents are an extremely vulnerable group\, and much more likely to have behavioral problems and physical and mental health conditions than their peers. \nThis webinar\, Kristin Turney\, Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of California-Irvine\, presented findings from her research on the well-being of children with incarcerated parents. She is among a group of researchers using the Fragile Families and Children Wellbeing Study to understand the effects of incarceration on crucial aspects of child development\, including parent-child relationships\, school difficulties\, and homelessness. Her discussion was followed by 10 minutes of questions and answers. \nThis webinar is provided by PRB’s Center for Public Information on Population Research\, with funding from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.

SUMMARY:Adding It Up: The Costs and Benefits of Investing in Reproductive Health Services
DESCRIPTION:Update: See a video of the webinar here » \nOver the past two decades\, striking progress has been achieved in making pregnancy and childbirth safer in developing countries. However\, a report issued by the Guttmacher Institute and the United Nations Population Fund finds a staggering lack of basic sexual and reproductive health services in developing countries. The report\, Adding It Up: The Costs and Benefits of Investing in Reproductive Health Services 2014\, documents current levels of unmet need for modern contraception and basic maternal and newborn care and the negative consequences of that. The report calculates the cost of providing these services and the dramatic reductions in maternal and newborn deaths and in mother-to-child transmission of HIV that would result. \nIn this recording of a webinar\, Jacqueline E. Darroch\, co-author of the report and senior fellow at the Guttmacher Institute; and Sneha Barot\, senior public policy associate at the Guttmacher Institute\, presented findings from the report and their policy and programmatic implications. Their discussion was followed by 10 minutes of questions and answers. \nThis webinar is provided by PRB’s Center for Public Information on Population Research\, with funding from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.

SUMMARY:Net Migration Patterns as a Tool to Understand Community Change
DESCRIPTION:Update: See a video of the webinar here \nEvery year\, about 10 million Americans move from one county to another. Migration rates vary by age\, sex\, race\, and ethnicity and with local and national social and economic conditions over time. Examining patterns of net-migration for individual counties over time provides important information about how local populations are changing. This webinar introduces a new publicly available website (www.netmigration.wisc.edu) where users can generate maps and charts of state and county level net migration using six decades of data. The data are available for download providing reliable estimates of net migration broken down by age\, race\, Hispanic-origin\, and sex for all U.S. counties for each decade from 1950 to 2010. \nIn the webinar\, Richelle Winkler\, assistant professor of sociology and demography at Michigan Tech University\, and Katherine Curtis\, associate professor of community and environmental sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, discuss the background of how the data were constructed\, demonstrate the website’s utility\, and provide select examples of how the data can be used to understand community change. Their discussion is followed by 10 minutes of questions and answers. \nThis webinar is provided by PRB’s Center for Public Information on Population Research\, with funding from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.

SUMMARY:PRB Discuss Online: Africa's Demographic Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Update: Read the transcript here. \nOf the 48 least developed countries in the world\, 33 are located in sub-Saharan Africa. At the same time\, this region stands out with the highest birth rates in the world. By the year 2050\, the number of people in the region may double\, and by the end of the century it may even quadruple. The Berlin Institute’s study\, Africa’s Demographic Challenges: How a Young Population Can Make Development Possible\, reports on 103 current and former developing countries\, showing that no single country has developed socioeconomically without a parallel decline in its birth rate. \nIf fertility decreases\, a population’s age structure changes: Proportionally\, there are fewer children and more people of working age. According to the theory of the “demographic dividend\,” this favorable age structure can boost development. The experience of the Asian Tigers (Hong Kong\, South Korea\, Singapore\, and Taiwan)\, who translated their population boom in the working-age group into rapid economic growth\, is proof of this dividend. \nThe Asian Tigers had a demographic starting point comparable to many sub-Saharan African countries today and were similarly less developed. Through massive investments into education\, family planning\, and the job market\, these Asian countries managed to take advantage of their demographic dividend—an estimated one-third of the economic growth in East and Southeast Asia can be attributed to this dividend. \nIn a PRB Discuss Online\, Reiner Klingholz\, Tanja Kiziak\, and Manuel Slupina from the Berlin Institute for Population and Development\, answer questions from participants about Africa’s demographic challenges and opportunities.

SUMMARY:PRB Discuss Online: What Does 'Poverty' Really Mean in India?
DESCRIPTION:Update: Read full transcript here. \nThe past few years have seen much hype regarding the economic progress in India\, much of it extolling the country’s “rising incomes” and “exploding” middle class. Entrepreneurs in the country seem to have believed this\, resulting in an overbuilding of glitzy malls and the rapid expansion of the number of domestic airlines. Although there has been definite economic progress in India\, who exactly benefits? \nThe number of people living in poverty is often ignored. India’s official poverty measure has long been this: People below the poverty line have a daily diet of less than 2\,400 kilocalories in rural areas and less than 2\,100 kilocalories in urban areas. \nWhat do measures of wealth such as “middle class” and “poverty” mean in India\, compared to countries such as the United States or those in Europe? Estimates of the number of people in poverty in the country vary wildly\, as Carl Haub wrote in a 2010 PRB web article with co-author O.P. Sharma\, and even the slightest changes in the definition of poverty can change the number of the poor in India by millions. India is on track to become the world’s largest country about 10 years from now\, despite declining fertility. How will it manage the population growth in its very large and very poor states? \nIn a PRB Discuss Online\, Carl Haub\, senior demographer at PRB\, answers questions from participants about what “poverty” and “middle class” in India really mean as standards of living\, and what implications these may have for India’s economic and demographic future.

SUMMARY:PRB Discuss Online: Chronic Diseases Affect Youth Globally
DESCRIPTION:Update: Read transcript here. \nIn 2008\, 36 million people died from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Deaths related to these chronic diseases are increasing\, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Over half of deaths are associated with behaviors that begin or are reinforced during adolescence\, including tobacco and alcohol use\, poor eating habits\, and lack of exercise. Global trends indicate that NCD-related behaviors are on the rise among young people\, and that they establish patterns of behavior that persist throughout life and are often hard to change. \nDespite the contribution of adolescent health to reducing NCDs globally\, the September 2011 High-Level Meeting of the UN General Assembly in New York did not address these issues. What is known about adolescent contributions to NCDs? What are effective strategies to address them? \nIn a PRB Discuss Online\, Dr. Robert Blum\, William H. Gates Sr. professor\, and chair\, Department of Population\, Family\, and Reproductive Health at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health\, and director\, Johns Hopkins Urban Health Institute\, answer questions from participants about how chronic diseases affect youth and what we can do to prevent them.

SUMMARY:PRB Discuss Online: The Increasing Complexity of Family Life in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Update: Read transcript here. \nToday\, Americans are more likely to marry and to divorce than in almost any other Western nation. How has this pattern changed over the last 10 years? What are the implications for current and future generations? Johns Hopkins University professor Andrew Cherlin’s review of the research\, “Demographic Trends in the United States: A Review of Research in the 2000s\,” covers trends in marriage and cohabitation\, divorce\, fertility\, children’s living arrangements\, and aging. The article was published in the Journal of Marriage and Family (vol. 72\, no. 3\, 2010). He is also the principal investigator of the “Three-City Study\,” an interdisciplinary study of low-income children and their caregivers in the post-welfare-reform era\, and the pilot study “Intergenerational Support in an Era of Complex Kinship.” \nIn a PRB Discuss Online\, Andrew Cherlin\, study author and Griswold Professor of Sociology and Public Policy at Johns Hopkins University\, answer questions from participants about family life in the United States over the past decade.

SUMMARY:PRB Discuss Online: The Increasing Importance of Education for Longevity in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Update: Read transcript here. \nMany people know that individuals with higher levels of education tend to live longer and healthier lives than individuals with low levels of education. In a recent study\, Robert Hummer and colleagues built on this knowledge by demonstrating new important characteristics of the relationship between education and adult mortality in the United States. \nAmong their findings: Each year of education does not have the same “meaning” in terms of reduced mortality risk of U.S. adults; and the data on mortality of more highly educated individuals shows less dispersion than the data on mortality of less educated individuals. The researchers also refined key pathways by which educational attainment influences adult mortality risk\, including much higher levels of cigarette smoking among the less educated; and better jobs\, higher income\, and greater access to health insurance and social ties and resources among the more highly educated. Hummer and his colleagues also determined that over the past two decades\, there has been increasing inequality in mortality risk by education in the United States. \nIn a PRB Discuss Online\, Robert Hummer\, Centennial Commission professor of liberal arts at the University of Texas\, Austin\, answers questions from participants about the relationship between education and longevity in the United States.

SUMMARY:PRB Discuss Online: Remittances\, and the Recession's Effects on International Migration
DESCRIPTION:Update: Read transcript here. \nAbout 3 percent of the world’s people are international migrants\, living outside their country of birth for a year or more. Two-thirds of these migrants leave developing countries for developed or other developing countries\, and the remittances they send home—around $325 billion in 2010—are larger than total official development aid. \nThe 2008-2009 recession slowed migrant entries into developed countries but did not lead to large-scale returns. International migration is increasing\, making the management of migration an ever greater concern. Martin’s latest PRB web article\, “Remittances\, and the Recession’s Effects on International Migration\,” is an update of his 2008 Population Bulletin\, “Managing Migration: The Global Challenge.” In a PRB Discuss Online\, Philip Martin\, professor of agricultural and resource economics at the University of California\, Davis\, answers questions from participants about remittances; and the recession’s effects on international migration.

SUMMARY:PRB Discuss Online: The Tsunami\, Six Years Later: Results of a Large-Scale Longitudinal Study in Aceh\, Indonesia
DESCRIPTION:Update: Read transcript here. \nDec. 26\, 2010\, will mark the sixth anniversary of the earthquake that spawned a tsunami on the coastlines of countries bordering the Indian Ocean. In collaboration with the Indonesian NGO SurveyMETER\, Elizabeth Frankenberg\, Duncan Thomas\, and colleagues designed a survey to study how the disaster affected villagers living in areas heavily damaged by the tsunami. They collected data from a sample of 40\,000 people in Aceh before the tsunami\, and afterward tracked them for five years. How has the population of Aceh been affected by the 2004 tsunami\, and how has the recovery process unfolded? In a PRB Discuss Online\, Elizabeth Frankenberg\, professor of public policy and sociology at Duke University; and Duncan Thomas\, professor of economics at Duke University\, answers questions from participants about the short-term and long-term consequences of the 2004 tsunami.

SUMMARY:PRB Discuss Online: The Long-Term Effects of Childhood Poverty in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Update: Read transcript here. \nMost poor children achieve less\, exhibit more problem behaviors\, and are less healthy than children raised in more-affluent families. Looking beyond these well-known correlations between poverty and negative outcomes in childhood\, recent studies have assessed the effects of childhood poverty in the United States on later attainment and health.

SUMMARY:PRB Discuss Online: How Is Immigration Changing the United States?
DESCRIPTION:Update: See transcript here. \nImmigration is a volatile issue for Americans\, who must grapple with the tradeoff between the strain of incorporating new populations and the desire for immigrants’ labor. The United States receives more immigrants than any other country\, and while the annual volume fluctuates with economic and political circumstances\, the flow is likely to continue. What are the forces bringing the current streams of foreigners to the United States\, and how are these newcomers changing the economy and society? How are recent policies likely to affect the legal and illegal flows of immigrants? How has the recent recession affected U.S. immigration? \nDuring a PRB Discuss Online\, Philip Martin\, professor of agricultural economics at the University of California-Davis\, answers participants questions about immigration in the United States. \nSee Web Forum: Immigration in America 2010 for more from PRB on recent U.S. immigration trends and issues.

SUMMARY:PRB Discuss Online: How Are the Children of Single Mothers Faring? Evidence From the Fragile Families Study
DESCRIPTION:Update: Read transcript here. \nThe percentage of U.S. children born outside marriage has increased dramatically over several decades\, growing from 6 percent of all births in 1960 to nearly 40 percent of births today. The Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study has been following a cohort of approximately 3\,600 children born to unmarried parents at the turn of the 21st century to learn more about these families\, investigating\, among other issues\, the capabilities and circumstances of these parents and the nature of their relationships at birth. What happens to parents’ relationships and capabilities over time? How well do children in fragile families fare? What role do welfare state policies play in the lives of parents and children? \nDuring a PRB Discuss Online\, Sara McLanahan\, professor of sociology and public affairs at Princeton University and principal investigator on the Fragile Families Study\, answers participants’ questions about the challenges and realities that confront the children of unmarried parents—and how these children and their parents are faring. \nThank all of you for submitting questions for Professor McLanahan and for following the discussion. Because of the large volume of questions\, she was not able to respond to all of them during the session. You can find more information about this research at www.fragilefamilies.princeton.edu/.

SUMMARY:PRB Discuss Online: What Is Your 'Race'? A Question Increasingly Difficult to Answer
DESCRIPTION:Update: View transcript here. \nThe concept of “race” has always been controversial\, given ugly associations with slavery\, the eugenics movement\, and racism. Yet “race” and “racial identity” remain important fundamental aspects of daily life for many Americans and people in other racially diverse societies. In the United States\, our understanding of race and how to measure race have changed over the years\, reflecting changes brought by immigration\, intermarriage\, and changing social attitudes. And as racial intermarriage continues to increase\, racial group boundaries will increasingly blur\, further challenging the meaning of race and racial identity for more and more Americans. These trends have important implications for how the government and other organizations collect and use data on race that are used to help enforce equal opportunity laws and other programs. \nDuring a PRB Discuss Online\, Sharon Lee\, research professor of sociology at the University of Victoria\, British Columbia \, answers participants’ questions about the controversial issues of race and racial identity\, and how they are changing in the United States.
