I believe Texas is still the lowest because it used to be one the most restrictive states in the US in voting laws and I feel that many people in Texas have not accustomed fully to the new regulations that allow every citizen to vote and also considering it is one of the biggest states in the US. Another reason voter turnout is so low in Texas is because of socioeconomic factors. Factors include poverty and education. Texas has the highest poverty in the US and there is a trend that shows that people in poverty are less likely to vote. People with low income also tend to have lesser education because they have fewer opportunities and many students drop out of school because they need to go into the workforce to support their family.
NCDs affect everyone, from the rich to the poor. Now especially, the poor are becoming more affected because of lack of access to education and services required to prevent and treat NCDs (Anderson et al.). In the Dominican Republic, the non-communicable disease that causes the most deaths is cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular diseases involve
A. Increasing minimum wage causes four times more unemployment loss for uneducated employees (Archer, 2004, p.4) B. Minimum wage laws mostly harm teenagers and young adults because they typically have little work experience and take jobs that require fewer skills (Henderson, 2006, No. 550). 1.
One of the key indicators to inequalities is poor income. (Germov, 2009, p. 87). Working class children are more likely to die in their first year of life and adults more likely to have prolonged illness due to lack of income to pay for medical attention and the harsh living environment. The risk of divorce is higher for the working class also a very low rate of working glass people further their education. Ethnicity and Gender come into this as ethnic people are also considered working class and transgender, gays etc.
The article “No Babies” by Russell Shorto discusses how the population in Europe is drastically decreasing because the low birth rate and higher death rate. He discusses how the birth to death rate is very unbalanced as well, which is a result of the declining population. European culture is feared be lost due to the fact that the majority of the European population is mainly made up of older generations and few younger. In the article Population “7 Billion”, Robert Kunzig discusses how the population worldwide is increasing drastically. He discusses that although the population is growing, our planet may not have all the resources it needs to accommodate the growing population.
The number of live births per year increased due to several factors such as children were used to work on farms (source of income) and in those days there was no reliable contraception and little education. The number of people dying was also high but still less in proportion to the birth rates. This was due to poor medical knowledge and poor diet, water and sanitation. More recently the birth rate has decreased and this is due to social, economic, cultural, legal, political and technological factors. A mixture of these factors led to the change in the position of women in society, the increase in equality, especially legally, including the right to vote (legal factor), the increase in educational opportunities (social factor) meant that women chose to educate themselves before starting a family, the increase in work opportunities with laws banning unequal pay and sex discrimination (social/legal factor)and changing attitudes in society meant that it was socially acceptable for women to be employed whereas traditionally the wife would be the housewife and the husband would be the breadwinner and would financially support his family.
We will first look at the historical picture of immigrant numbers. Vast numbers of immigrants have come to the United States. Figure 4.1 indicates the high but fluctuating number of immigrants who have arrived during every decade from the 1820s through the 1990s. The United States received the largest number of legal immigrants during the 1990s, but in the period from 1900 through 1910, the country was much smaller, so the numerical impact was even
There was also nothing there for the old before that ether, they basically had to work until they died as they had no money otherwise or be sent to the poor house which was embarrassing. The act was passed as the old had to rely on their children who often couldn’t even pay for themselves and they were becoming a burden. You had to be 70 to receive a pension which was far too high as most of the people that needed it had died by then from not having a good standard of living. The age for being able to receive was far too high as people that needed the pension were too unhealthy to live that long anyway. If you were single you got five shillings a week and seven and a half if you were married.
Poverty affects millions of people worldwide; some places more than others. But what exactly is poverty and what are the causes of it? According to Wikipedia, Poverty is the lack of basic human needs, such as clean and fresh water, nutrition, health care, education, clothing and shelter, because of the inability to afford them. This is also referred to as absolute poverty or destitution. About 1.7 billion people live in absolute poverty.
Poverty has increased due to a high unemployment rate, lower wages for many people, and a decreasing amount of public assistance benefits. Since the start of the recession, many people have lost their jobs and have been unable to find new employment or have been forced to work for wages far lower than they had previously been paid. In 1996, the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program, which provided cash assistance to poor families with children, was replaced with a grant program called Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF). This program has not been able to keep up with inflation causing a higher poverty level among the already poor which has resulted in families not being able to afford housing (“Why are People Homeless,”
