Purpose

In addition to being a violation of human rights, the practice of child labor can be related to criminality against young people. In view of this, the hypothesis tested in this article was that child labor aggravates youth homicide through educational level.

Design/methodology/approach

This study used annual data for the 26 states plus the Federal District for the period 2001 to 2014. To do so, the authors used the iterated feasible generalized least squares (IFGLS) estimator under the seemingly unrelated regressions (SUR) model.

Findings

The results showed that child labor positively affects the homicide of young people, showing education as a transmission channel through which the effect is materialized. The general conclusion, given this, that work is an alternative for children not to enter the world of crime due to its socializing character, cannot be sustained.

Practical implications

This evidence provides input to the formulation of policies and programs to eradicate or slow child labor. In addition to the social and economic rise of individuals, it is important to emphasize the role of education (human capital) in explaining economic growth.

Originality/value

So far, there is no record of national research that sought to empirically assess the effect of child labor on crime, in particular, on the homicide of young people, considering education as a transmission channel, and this assessment is the contribution of the present study to the economic literature on crime.

目的除了侵犯人权之外,童工还可能与青少年犯罪有关。有鉴于此,本文检验的假设是,童工通过教育水平加剧了青少年凶杀案。 设计/方法/途径 本研究使用了 26 个州和联邦区 2001 年至 2014 年的年度数据。为此,作者在似乎无关回归(SUR)模型下使用了迭代可行广义最小二乘法(IFGLS)估算器。研究结果研究结果表明,童工对青少年凶杀案有积极影响,表明教育是实现这一影响的传播渠道。由此得出的一般结论是,由于工作的社会化特征,工作是儿童避免进入犯罪世界的一种选择,但这一结论并不成立。除了个人的社会和经济崛起外,强调教育(人力资本)在解释经济增长中的作用也很重要。原创性/价值迄今为止,还没有任何国家的研究试图实证评估童工对犯罪的影响,尤其是对年轻人杀人案的影响,并将教育视为一种传播渠道,而这一评估正是本研究对有关犯罪的经济文献的贡献。同行评议本文的同行评议记录可在以下网址查阅:https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/IJSE-03-2023-0163。

Purpose

The existing hospitality and tourism literature indicates a discrepancy in the findings related to the socio-demographic variables' impact on hotel employees' socio-emotional factors and behavioral outcomes. This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of this topic.

Design/methodology/approach

Using a questionnaire, primary data were gathered from hotel employees in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, India from February to June 2022. A total of 416 valid responses collected through offline mode were used in the data analysis. Multiple linear regressions were done using SPSS V.29.

Findings

The findings show that the socio-demographic characteristics of respondents significantly affect socio-emotional factors at work as well as interpersonal deviance and organizational deviance.

Practical implications

Policymakers and hotel managers can implement training and development programs that assist hotel employees with diversified socio-demographic attributes in handling stress, developing their emotional intelligence and minimizing workplace deviance. The study also provides hotel managers with actional recommendations to reduce work–family conflict, social disparity among employees and their emotional exhaustion.

Originality/value

The study adds to the literature with a comprehensive framework regarding the role of various socio-demographic traits in fostering interpersonal deviance, organizational deviance and socio-emotional factors at work.

Purpose

Farmer producer organisations (FPOs) are considered as a strategy to improve the livelihoods of small farmers through economies of scale by providing collective strength to farmers for improved access to production technology, value-addition services, high-quality inputs and marketing services for improving their incomes. This study investigates the impact of FPO membership on organic farming household's income in Northeast India.

Design/methodology/approach

This study uses field survey data collected from all four districts of Sikkim. Primary data were obtained from a survey of 560 organic farming households, 280 of which are FPO members and the rest 280 are non-members. Propensity score matching (PSM) is used to estimate the impact of FPO membership on net returns, return on investment (ROI) and profit margin.

Findings

Results show that the FPO members had, on average, Rs. 7,254–8,133 higher annual net returns, 4.6–4.8% higher ROI and 8–8.4% higher profit margin than the non-members. The findings confirm that FPO membership has a positive and significant impact on net returns, return on investment and profit margin. Also, heterogeneity analysis indicates that FPO membership has larger positive impact on relatively bigger farmers and female-headed households.

Research limitations/implications

As the study was based on a cross-sectional survey, the findings may be subjected to some limitations.

Originality/value

This study is based on a novel data set, collected specifically to examine the economic impact of FPO membership on organic farming in India.

Gender occupational intensity and wages in the Northern Triangle of Central America 中美洲北三角的性别职业强度和工资
IF 1.9 Q2 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2023-12-12 DOI: 10.1108/ijse-03-2021-0165
Ilya Espino, Ana Hermeto, Luciana Luz

Purpose

This paper aims to explore the relationship between gender occupational intensity and wages in the Northern Triangle of Central America using national surveys carried out in 2014.

Design/methodology/approach

A harmonized occupational classification at the -digit level is built with the objective of analyzing the occupational distribution across countries. Then, quantile regressions (QRs) are estimated to explore in detail which factors are affecting the wages of both females and males; in particular, this paper pays special attention to female occupational intensity (the share of females within each occupation).

Findings

The comparative analysis suggests that women are overrepresented in certain occupations, and they are much more likely to be working in part-time jobs than men in all countries. Furthermore, findings reveal that working in female-dominated occupations has a negative effect on wages along the distribution across countries. However, the effect of this variable is higher at the lower quantile of the distribution for women, especially in El Salvador and Honduras.

Originality/value

This paper first proposes a new typology of occupations, which allows a consistent and comparable analysis of the occupational structure. The results then provide a picture to address gender occupational intensity and its links with wages. Further, the characteristics of the labor market and differences in trends across these countries suggest that this topic requires challenging research for the region.

目的 本文旨在利用 2014 年开展的国家调查,探讨中美洲北三角地区性别职业强度与工资之间的关系。然后,对量子回归(QR)进行估计,以详细探讨影响女性和男性工资的因素;本文尤其关注女性的职业强度(女性在每种职业中所占的比例)。研究结果比较分析表明,在所有国家,女性在某些职业中所占比例过高,她们从事兼职工作的可能性远远高于男性。此外,研究结果表明,在女性占主导地位的职业中工作会对各国的工资分配产生负面影响。本文首先提出了一种新的职业类型学,从而可以对职业结构进行一致且可比较的分析。然后,研究结果为解决性别职业强度及其与工资的联系问题提供了一幅图景。此外,这些国家劳动力市场的特点和趋势差异表明,该地区需要对这一主题进行具有挑战性的研究。同行评审本文的同行评审历史可在以下网址查阅:https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/IJSE-03-2021-0165。

Purpose

This paper aims to determine the implications of Covid-19 on the livelihood of marine fishermen. It gives a concrete picture of how vulnerable communities like marine fishermen are affected due to the lockdown policies. The paper examines these communities' present status and the extent of vulnerability during the post-Covid period.

Design/methodology/approach

The study uses an exploratory research design to find the solution to the research problem. 298 samples were collected and analysed within a sustainable livelihood theoretical framework. The scope of the study is limited to marine fishermen in Kerala, residing in six districts out of the nine coastal districts. The impact of the lockdown on income was analysed using paired t-test and results linked with the theory.

Findings

The study has done an empirical analysis for three periods: before lockdown, lockdown and after lockdown, to identify the impact of lockdown on marine fishermen. The study's significant findings are that these fishermen's livelihood is at risk during the post-lockdown period, and many families are moving into a “debt-trap”.

Research limitations/implications

Policymakers can develop appropriate policy strategies to enhance the livelihood assets of vulnerable communities to include them in a sustainable framework.

Originality/value

Only a few studies are highlighting the impact of Covid-19 on vulnerable communities in India. The effects of climate change on the marine ecosystem are already endangering marine fisher folks' livelihoods. In this light, it is vital to study the extent of the impact of income shock on the livelihood assets of marine fishermen due to the lockdown policy implemented in the State to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

Heterogeneous effects of national health insurance scheme on healthcare utilisation: evidence from Ghana 国家医疗保险计划对医疗利用率的异质性影响:来自加纳的证据
IF 1.9 Q2 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2023-12-11 DOI: 10.1108/ijse-05-2023-0330

Purpose

This paper aims to evaluate Ghana's National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) on healthcare utilisation by exploring its heterogeneous effects based on residential status and wealth.

Design/methodology/approach

The study used the Ghana Socioeconomic Panel Survey (GSPS) datasets. An instrumental variable strategy, specifically the two-stage residual inclusion (2SRI), was employed to control endogenous NHIS membership.

Findings

Generally, the results show that NHIS improves healthcare utilisation (i.e. visits to a health facility and formal care). Concerning the heterogeneous effects of health insurance on healthcare utilisation, the results revealed that NHIS members are more likely to seek care, irrespective of their residence status. The results further indicate that the probability of visiting a health facility and utilising formal care increases for the poorest NHIS participants. Based on these, the authors conclude that NHIS provides equitable healthcare access and utilisation for its vulnerable populations, who are beneficiaries.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors' knowledge, this paper is the first to explore the heterogeneous effects of NHIS on healthcare utilisation across residential and income subpopulations. Splitting the dataset by residential status to examine healthcare utilisation inequality is worthwhile. In addition, analysing utilisation in terms of health care type would show whether Ghana's NHIS may be viewed as welfare-enhancing through increased formal health care utilisation.

目的 本文旨在通过探讨加纳国家医疗保险计划(NHIS)对医疗保健利用率的异质性影响,从而评估该计划对医疗保健利用率的影响。研究使用了加纳社会经济面板调查(GSPS)数据集。研究结果总体而言,NHIS 提高了医疗保健的利用率(即到医疗机构就诊和接受正规治疗)。关于医疗保险对医疗利用率的异质性影响,结果显示,无论其居住状况如何,NHIS 会员都更有可能寻求医疗服务。结果进一步表明,最贫困的 NHIS 参与者前往医疗机构就诊和使用正规医疗服务的概率会增加。据作者所知,本文首次探讨了 NHIS 对不同居住和收入亚群的医疗保健利用率的异质性影响。按居住状况拆分数据集以研究医疗保健利用率的不平等是值得的。此外,从医疗保健类型的角度分析利用率将显示加纳的 NHIS 是否可以通过增加正规医疗保健的利用率来提高福利。同行评议本文的同行评议历史见:https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/IJSE-05-2023-0330。

Households’ entry into non-farm entrepreneurship and the market exit of enterprises in rural Ethiopia 埃塞俄比亚农村家庭进入非农创业与企业市场退出
IF 1.9 Q2 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2023-12-04 DOI: 10.1108/ijse-09-2022-0611
Melaku Abegaz, Pascal Ngoboka

Purpose

This paper examines household and community characteristics that influence the entry of rural households into non-farm entrepreneurship and investigates the various factors that influence the market exit of non-farm enterprises (NFEs).

Design/methodology/approach

The authors use data from three rounds (2011/12, 2013/14 and 2015/16) of the World Bank’s Living Standards Measurement Study – Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LSMS-ISA). The authors employ panel logit and multilevel logit models to examine the probability of opening one or more enterprises and the enterprise exit rates.

Findings

Results indicate that the likelihood of starting a NFE is positively associated with primary education attainment, access to credit, experiencing idiosyncratic shocks and availability of formal financial institutions. Age, higher education attainment and rising farm input prices constrain entry into non-farm entrepreneurship. The enterprise exit rate is negatively associated with small-town residence, wealth, access to tar/gravel roads and cellphone communication.

Practical implications

Policymakers and administrators should strive to address the challenges that communities face in transportation, communication and financial services. Policies aimed at stabilizing prices and increasing access to mobile communication, primary education and road infrastructure could help expand the rural non-farm sector.

Originality/value

Previous studies primarily examined the determinants of participation in NFEs at a given time using cross-sectional data. The current study uses panel data to study the dynamics of NFE ownership by investigating households’ decisions to enter into or exit from the sector.

Ida Lopez, Nurul Shahnaz Mahdzan, Mahfuzur Rahman

Purpose

Using the integrated behavioural model (IBM) as a theoretical framework, this study aims to identify the determinants of saving behaviour among Malaysia's income-earning Generation Y (Gen Y) born in the years 1980–1995.

Design/methodology/approach

The study was conducted using a questionnaire survey targeting Gen Y respondents 500 sets of responses were obtained via convenience sampling method.

Findings

Analysis conducted using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) revealed that there were positive relationships among instrumental attitude, injunctive norm, perceived control, self-efficacy and intention to save. Secondly, intention to save, financial literacy and time preference were found to positively influence saving behaviour.

Practical implications

Policymakers may find this study useful as the results reveal saving behaviour determinants of Gen Ys in Malaysia, and policies could then be formulated to improve Gen Y's saving behaviour.

Originality/value

This study contributes to the literature by applying the IBM to a study on saving behaviour.

Non-farm income and household welfare in rural Burkina Faso: a focus on the household land tenure situation 布基纳法索农村的非农业收入和家庭福利:重点关注家庭土地保有情况
IF 1.9 Q2 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2023-11-24 DOI: 10.1108/ijse-05-2023-0423
Windinkonté Séogo

Purpose

This study investigates how income from non-farm activities affects households' consumption in two land holders' groups: households with insecure land holding and households with secure land holding.

Design/methodology/approach

Following an instrumental variable approach, this study analyzes data collected on a nationwide sample of 1,800 households in rural Burkina Faso.

Findings

For insecure land holders' group, this study finds that income from non-farm activities has a positive effect on household consumption per capita. Moreover, the share of household food consumption is negatively associated with non-farm income in this group. For secure land holders' group, the results show that non-farm income has only a negative effect on the share of their food consumption.

Originality/value

The study highlights the livelihood sustaining role of non-farm activities for rural households. Unlike previous studies, the results show that non-farm income is particularly important for land tenure insecure households facing risk of losing agricultural income.

Pollution, knowledge and coping strategy and life expectancy in oil producing communities 石油生产社区的污染、知识和应对策略以及预期寿命
IF 1.9 Q2 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2023-11-23 DOI: 10.1108/ijse-11-2022-0734
Stanley Emife Nwani

Purpose

This study aims to examine the relationship between pollution and life expectancy in oil producing communities, where there is a dearth of empirical evidence on how knowledge and coping strategy, agriculture and foreign capital inflows mediate the relationship between pollution and life expectancy.

Design/methodology/approach

The study employed a cross sectional survey design to analyze the roles of knowledge and coping strategy, agriculture and foreign capital inflows in the relationship between pollution and life expectancy in Benekuku and Okpai oil producing communities in the Niger Delta. The study employed the modern structural equation modeling (SEM) estimator.

Findings

Estimates show the mediating effect of agriculture on air pollution-longevity (coeff. = 0.398; t-value = 4.425; p < 0.05) and (coeff. = −0.120; t-value = −3.862; p < 0.05) mediating effect of foreign capital. The result revealed that agriculture and foreign capital inflows are significant mediators in pollution-life expectancy relations, affirming the Niger Delta as a pollution haven. However, knowledge and coping strategy with estimate of (coeff. = 0.233; t-value = 6.150; p < 0.05) spurs life expectancy.

Practical implications

The study suggests knowledge of hazard identification and reporting and awareness of coping strategy as the panacea to poor life expectancy rate in these local oil producing communities.

Originality/value

The study departs from existing works by estimating the mediating roles of agriculture and foreign capital inflow in air pollution-Life expectancy by controlling for knowledge and coping strategy using the structural equation model with ethical approval from Health Ethics Research Committee.
