Rural Primary Health Care Providers' Response To Intimate Partner Violence And Survivors' Perceptions Of Helpfulness, Annah Bender
Arts & Sciences Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Intimate partner violence (IPV) affects the health and mental health of many women in the United States, with some estimates projecting that one in three women will experience physical, sexual, and/or psychological abuse from a current or former partner during their lifetimes (National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey [NISVS], 2011). The problems many survivors of IPV face as they attempt to secure help and establish a life free from violence are numerous and include housing, legal, employment, medical, and other domains. Such problems are frequently compounded for survivors residing in rural areas of the U.S., where access to social …

Center for Social Development Research
In response to the growing rural-urban inequality, China is undertaking a series of policy initiatives to promote rural development. In addition to redistributive policies aiming at social protection, asset-based policy, which integrates social protection and social investment, is another viable option for progressive rural development. In 1998, the Hutubi local government in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China implemented an innovative retirement program which allows account holders to use accounts as legal collateral to borrow small loans and invest in productive assets such as farming supplies and equipment, education, and small businesses. Using the data gathered by the program …

中国呼图壁养老保险质押贷款项目双重激: 励和双重资产积累 [Dual Incentives And Dual Asset Building: The Hutubi Rural Social Security Loan Program In China], Baorong Guo, Jin Huang, Michael Sherraden, Li Zou
Center for Social Development Research
The Hutubi Rural Social Security Loan program is a policy innovation in a rural area of China by loaning savings in social security accounts back to peasants for them to purchase assets for agricultural and other development. In contrast to the nationwide recession in rural social security, this program has shown its success in proliferating rural social security funds and retaining social security participants. With a focus on the administrative data of the loan program, this study aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the loan program and examine how asset building is possible for the poor when institutional incentives …

Similar to the beginning of many new eras, the dawning of the 21st century has brought new opportunities as well as new challenges to the stability of our economy. New technology offers more efficient methods of production while the continuing influence of globalization increases market availability for our goods. Yet, when a region has a hard time transitioning to a new economy, the challenges produced by these changes are often overwhelming and can create hardship. Rural America is currently facing many of the difficulties associated with these changing economies, thus affecting their current economic sustainability and development. The industry base …

Mutual Wealth In Rural America, E. G. Nadeau, Elisabeth Howard
Mutual Wealth In Rural America, E. G. Nadeau, Elisabeth Howard
Center for Social Development Research
This essay contends that mutual wealth in rural America, particularly related to the use of land and other natural resources, has undergone three major paradigm shifts in the last 500 years, and may be at the threshold of a fourth. First, from the early 1500s to about 1800, European diseases and conquest destroyed the elaborate management systems for agriculture, forests, game, and other natural resources developed by North American Indians. Second, from the early 1500s to the early 1900s, European and white American settlers, induced by offers of land, repopulated the continent primarily with small and medium-sized farms and ranches. …
Age As Asset: The Contribution Of Youth And Retirees To Rural Well-Being, Kathleen K. Miller, Brian Dabson
Age As Asset: The Contribution Of Youth And Retirees To Rural Well-Being, Kathleen K. Miller, Brian Dabson
Center for Social Development Research
The purpose of this paper is to consider the proposition that community wellbeing in rural America can be enhanced by regarding youth and retirees as assets. For both age groups, the literature and public attitudes tend to adopt a less than positive view, emphasizing the problems associated with the out-migration of young people on the one hand and the growing numbers of the elderly on the other. This paper points to trends and thinking which suggest that a different, asset-based lens may be helpful in developing community and policy responses. This paper is one of a series focusing on wealthbuilding …

Asset-Building Programs For People With Disabilities In Rural Areas: Including Independent Living And Long-Term Care Planning Education, Michelle Putnam, Fengyan Tang
Center for Social Development Research
This paper presents findings from a case study of individuals with multiple sclerosis examining their planning and preparation activities for their future independent living and long-term care needs. Data collected from a representative sample of National Multiple Sclerosis Society members in the greater metropolitan St. Louis and eastern Illinois area indicate significant differences in income, assets, education, health and functional limitation status between individuals living in rural versus urban areas. Additionally, findings show respondents with greater levels of education and assets, and those living in urban areas, are more likely to have saved for retirement, made legal preparations, or engaged …

Examples Of Successful Wealth Building In Rural Areas, Jean Schumacher, Ann Ulmer
Center for Social Development Research
The purpose of this paper is to describe successful examples of wealth building in rural areas through the mechanism of individual development accounts (IDAs). a review of available literature, supplemented by a limited survey of selected programs, provides an overview of the issues associated with operating IDA programs in rural America, a set of ‘action factors’ that help define success, and some initial observations on rural IDA programs. an appendix gives details on each of the selected programs. This paper is one of a series on wealth building in rural America.
