The aim of this study is to explore the link between alcohol consumption and the (in)stability of earnings in Russia. Using annual data from the Russian Longitudinal and Monitoring Survey (RLMS) covering the years 1995-2018, we find that alcohol intake is significantly and positively associated with instability of earnings. This result remains robust even when we conduct a series of robustness tests.

Identifying the problems of youth requires taking into account the transformational processes that affect individuals’ development, the formation of a certain social environment, and changing youth market orientation priorities. The current orientations of youth – inflated expectations, aspirations for a quality education, employment, higher-status achievement, improved financial status, etc. – contradict the reality that in fact involves limited access to social status and professional realization, thereby creating barriers to fulfilment. The novelty of this research is that we evaluate the literature and empirical data and examine the self-sufficiency of university students in post-socialist countries as a factor in their adulthood and an indicator of life readiness according to the principles of a democratic society and rules of the market economy. The study aims to determine the role of economic factors in the process of obtaining a higher education for students in Central and Eastern Europe (Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Serbia, and Ukraine) through an analysis of students’ financial self-sufficiency during their university years. The presented research results demonstrate students’ financial selfsufficiency during their university studies and the proportion of students’ average monthly expenses in relation to income. The comparative analysis confirms that the respondents’ financial situation in the five countries under study is almost identical.

This paper, based on empirical study of private schools (n=35) and the families (n=105) in select localities (n=3), explores the nature and growth of diversified school market(s) in Alwar city of Rajasthan in India. It observes that the private schools execute range of strategies, both ethical and unethical at times, to influence parents to attract admissions. School strategies range from the most modern methods such as advertising through local television channels, Whatsapp and Facebook, roadside-billboards, wall-painting, door-to-door visits, etc., to the invoking of primordial affiliations such as kinship ties, caste and religious identities to reach out to parents. The schools also use promises like better English medium education, ensuring safety and security of the child, better discipline and providing coaching to prepare students to get admission into prominent government schools, engineering and medical institutes of the country as marketing strategies to flourish and sustain in competitive education market.

The year 2022 was set as deadline in the Colombian national development plan to reach gender parity in all public directive positions. As we reach the time limit, this study takes the lead on revising the impact of the national gender quota by comparing official reports and empirical data. Official records show a progressive growth in the rate of female representation among reporting organizations’ maximum decision level. Yet, closer analyses of quota regulated universities’ performance, show divergent results. Moreover, records of job positions filled by women are systematically omitted despite being required by the law, which raise further questions about the quota’s potential to foster gender equality at the organizational level. This research addresses this data gap, examines whether a higher proportion of women among various organizational bodies influence their election’s rate to decision-making roles, and explores current corporate equality strategies for a more comprehensive analysis of the quota’s impact.

Polygamy – a type of relationship where a person marries more than one partner - is one of the most divisive issues within modern Italian society. Yet, the international literature remains mostly silent on Italian citizens’ reasons against and for it. The present paper fills such a gap by highlighting the narratives of 22 individuals aged between their late-20s and mid-50s. Results show that most participants believe there is a troubling correlation between polygamy and harm to women and children. Slippery slope objections were commonplace in all the discussions. For instance, many respondents asserted that the practice leads to the most radical transformation of the notion of marriage and by consequence, of the family. Others felt it increases the likelihood that unmarried men resort to crime as a means to gain material and symbolic resources such as partners and status. Notably, these perspectives may be expected to mirror those of society at large. Future research should demonstrate whether balance can be struck between the measures required by Italian law to protect people from violence, and preserving the right to marry. However, scholars must avoid playing into the mainstream narrative that polygamy is inherently adversarial to Western values.

Family business succession research usually focuses on the problems that make many companies fail during or as a result of succession, to focus on the individual process of decision making itself is rare. In understanding the phenomenon on the personal level of reality, and understand decision-making process of succession, the decision maker’s thinking process and aspirations have to be taken in consideration. This can lead to uncertainties and errors; decisions are predetermined as being rational human limitations border them. Therefore, aspirations and search rules are adjusted over time in response to experience. Our aim was to search for the understanding of a phenomenon: the succession decision in family businesses, where, based on the survey, we attempted to order their intuitive knowledge and aspirations to surface the aspirations, intuitive knowledge of decision makers, in order to deepen our understanding of the succession decision making phenomenon.

Regular physical activity (PA) plays a key role in maintaining physical and mental well-being; and even in pandemic time, it has special importance. This study investigated the changes in patterns of moderate and vigorous PA prior to and during coronavirus pandemic in a diverse sample of 125 higher education institutes from 26 countries. Association between mental well-being and changes in PA was also evaluated. Data for the present study has been used from the “COVID-19 International Student Well-being Study” (2020). 88,270 students of higher education aged 23.29 SD=5.70 years (72.8% females) completed an online questionnaire. Results indicated a global decrease both in moderate and vigorous PA, with women becoming more active than their male counterparts during pandemic time. There was a relationship between the change in physical activity pattern and the mental well-being. The most unfavourable mental well-being was observed in students who reduced or stopped PA. During pandemic, PA has been decreased globally; however, a group of students, particularly female students, took the opportunity to increase the amount of PA. The changes in PA before and prior to the pandemic relate to mental well-being. Implementation of promoting PA during pandemic time has a public health issue.

The Hungarian Economic Association organised a conference in memory of Gábor Kézdi on 20 December 2021. Gábor Kézdi, one of the most influential Hungarian economists of his generation, died last year at the age of 50. His career as a researcher and teacher was an inspiration and an example not only to the economics profession but also to the wider social science community (including the author of these lines). His research addressed many topics of interest to sociologists and social policy researchers, such as educational inequalities, school segregation, prejudice and discrimination, the situation of the Roma population in Hungary and empirical studies of the effects of social policies.
