Years ago Mexico opted to offer longer school days for children. Caused an increase in divorces

by

A time ago a group of economists from the University of Tennessee It was done A peculiar questionfor the concepts and ideas that combines and also its implications: does the school’s school day influence The divorce rate parental? If the time children spend at school clearly affects To the dynamics of the families, conditioning as basic aspects as the hours of adults for other tasks, does that factor interfere with the couple’s breakdown? And if so, how? And why? After crossing school data and separations recorded for several years in Mexico, the experts reached A curious conclusion: The expansion of school days or have greater access to schools with extended schedules does seem to affect divorce rates. It increases them. School Conference (and something else). Over the years articles (many) have been published on how the different school day models They affect To students, their performancehe school abandonment or the “Child Wellness”. The debate It is old and root in a dilemma on which they have run ink rivers: Continuous school day or departure? There are those who ensure that this response has implications that go far beyond the classrooms, such as The gender gapthe Differences of opportunities or family poverty. Click on the image to go to Tweet. A new factor: divorces. María Padilla-Romo, Cecilia Peluffo and Marian Its derivatives: The separations. And they have done it based on a very specific question: how does the expansion of the schooling work affect divorce rates? To find out they basically handle two sources, the statistical records of marriage ruptures and school data on the expansion of the school day in the public primary schools. In Mexico they found databases for both fronts, so the country ended up becoming its particular (and huge) laboratory. The data they obtained and interpretation have just reflected them in An essay Posted in Journal of Public Economics. But what did they analyze? The researchers took advantage of a phenomenon that played in their favor: the “Large -scale expansion” of the model of Full -time school (Full-Time Schools, or etc, with a “Extended Day” of Between six and eight hours) In Mexican municipalities from 2007 to 2016. To be more precise, economists resorted to census data from the monitoring of the monitoring Program etc. of the Secretary of Public Education that corresponded to the 2007/2008 academic year, in which It began to applyand 2015/2016. Then they compared the degree of implementation of that program of school day expanded by municipalities and were fixed in women in divorce procedures in each of those locations. In short, they crossed data. The information on marriage ruptures was obtained from the National Institute of Mexican Statistics and Geography (INEGI), where the cases processed between 2000 and 2016 consulted. And the surprise came. After working with the different records, the researchers discovered that there seems to be A marked relationship between the extension of the school day in the primary centers and the ruptures. At least in Mexico. “We found that the expansion of the school day in 3.5 hours causes a significant increase in divorce rates,” explain economists in Your article. “In addition, the effect is increased with each year of exposure from municipalities to full -time schooling.” A well calibrated trend. The experts They go further and share their calculations on the relationship between both factors, broad teaching days and ruptures. “We found that, as a result of an average increase in the availability of etc. of 24 percentage points, the divorce rate increased by 0.041 divorces per 1,000 individuals (an increase of 12.6 in relation to divorces in the municipalities treated in the year prior to the opening of the first etc) “. Moreover, researchers even appreciate that “the effect increases over time” and the increase in the divorce rate is higher when families enjoy the longest teaching days for seven years. “Our main estimates suggest that the availability of ETC It gave rise to 23,119 additional divorces between 2009 and 2016, or approximately 4.7% of the total number of divorces presented during that period of time, ” The study abounds. Its authors also detected another key trend: the longest school days gave rise to greater divorce rates in areas where less traditional social norms overwhelmed on marriage, divorces and female work. Click on the image to go to Tweet. The question: Why? Extend a few hours the time that primary school The article From Padilla-Romo and his companions suggests that it is not. Maybe it’s a few hours, but influence classrooms. And the reason is that this extension of school days is in its own way “an implicit subsidy for children’s care.” Having their children during a broad period in schools – on its website the Mexican government points out that in etc From 8.00 to 16.00 h– Parents have more time. Especially women, in which It regularly falls The care of the offspring. And those hours can use them in working outside their homes, in exchange for a salary that reinforces their economic independence. Although the researchers recognize that the greatest job among women can have other consequences, such as generating “conflicts”, that mothers with an “abusive couple” remain less exposed to it or simply increase the flow of money that enters home, what That facilitates to face the expenses involved in divorce and separation, the researchers suggest that the economic factor is essential to understand the phenomenon. “A disproportionate fraction”. “Mothers and other female members of the family dedicate a disproportionate fraction of their time to the care of children. The longest school days provide them with an increase in their effective time provision, which translates in better opportunities to acquire individual income “, Zanjan The three authors of the study. “As a result, the negotiation positions at home are probable.” “Our results show that the extension of the school day gave rise to higher divorce rates in areas with less traditional social norms on marriage, divorce and the priority of women in jobs, … Read more

Increase in norovirus cases: keys to protect yourself

by

In December, The United States has experienced an unusual increase in norovirus outbreaks, according to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In the first week of the month, 91 norovirus outbreaks were reported, suspected or confirmed, a figure higher than that recorded during the same period in previous years, including those prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. The norovirus, known as the “vomiting and diarrhea virus”, It is a highly contagious pathogen that causes sudden, severe gastrointestinal symptoms. Although outbreaks can occur throughout the year, their incidence increases between November and April. The virus is estimated to affect between 19 and 21 million people in the US annually. One of the most notable outbreaks in December involved at least 80 people who They got sick after eating raw oysters in a restaurant in Los Angeles. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) identified that the contaminated oysters came from British Columbia, Canada, and had been distributed in 14 states and the District of Columbia before being recalled. In addition to seafood, Other products recently recalled for being linked to norovirus include fresh and frozen berries, according to an FDA database. Many cases of norovirus are linked to eating raw oysters. (Photo: Eldar Emric/AP) How does norovirus spread? Norovirus is extremely contagious due to two key characteristics: its ease of transmission and its ability to survive on surfaces for days or even weeks. People can contract the virus by being in contact with infected individuals or by consuming contaminated food, water, or touching surfaces. An illustrative case from Tennessee highlights how easily the virus spreads. A member of a bridge club vomited in a parking lot after becoming ill with norovirus, and everyone present contracted the virus. Researchers later found traces of the virus on the playing cards used at the event. According to William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University, it only takes a small amount of the virus to infect someone. This ability explains why norovirus thrives in closed, crowded spaces, such as cruise ships, nursing homes, schools and daycares. Another common route of transmission is contaminated water. Untreated wastewater can introduce the virus into irrigation systems, contaminating fruits, vegetables and shellfish such as oysters and mussels, which filter large volumes of water and concentrate the virus in their flesh. How to prevent norovirus? Prevention starts with good hand hygiene. The CDC recommends washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after using the bathroom, changing a diaper, or before preparing food. Although hand sanitizers are useful against many pathogens, their effectiveness against norovirus is limited due to the resistant structure of the virus. Other key measures to prevent infection are: * Cook food properly: The CDC suggests cooking shellfish, such as oysters, to an internal temperature of at least 63°C to kill the virus. Washing fresh fruits and vegetables is also essential. * Clean and disinfect surfaces: Areas used for food preparation, such as cutting boards and countertops, should be cleaned and disinfected regularly. * Avoid contact with infected people: If someone in your home is sick, limit direct contact and disinfect contaminated surfaces. Bedding and towels used by infected people should be washed with detergent on long cycles and dried at high temperatures. * Waiting to handle food: An infected person should not prepare or handle food until at least two days after symptoms disappear. This is crucial, as the virus can remain in feces for up to two weeks and still be contagious. Stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea and fever are some of the characteristic symptoms of norovirus. (Photo: Shutterstock) What are the symptoms of norovirus? Symptoms of a norovirus infection They include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and fever. What sets this virus apart is how quickly symptoms appear. “You feel fine and all of a sudden you have an explosive episode of vomiting,” Schaffner says. There is no antiviral treatment for norovirus. Doctors recommend resting, drinking plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration, and staying isolated to avoid infecting others. Symptoms generally disappear within a few days without the need for additional treatment. Although most people recover quickly, certain groups are more vulnerable to serious complications, including young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. Severe dehydration can cause fatigue, dizziness, and, in children, irritability. In severe situations, patients may require hospitalization to receive intravenous fluids. The norovirus outbreak in December is a reminder of the importance of hygiene and food safety. This “persistent bug,” as Schaffner describes it, can be challenging, but with proper preventive measures and education, it is possible to significantly reduce its spread. Stay alert, follow the recommendations of experts and take care of your health and that of others.
