Positives and negatives of online dating according to women 50+

ABSTRACT

To understand the positives and negatives of online dating according to the lived experience of older women, telephone interviews were conducted with 45 women ages 50+ who date online. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and thematically team coded. The opportunity to expand one’s social network for both friendships and romantic partners, the ability to control dating risks and pace of relationship formation, and knowing more about one’s partner were significant reported benefits of online dating. Dating online also includes unique risks, such as pervasive lying, attempted financial exploitation in the form of scammers, and unwanted electronic sexual aggression.     

Aging Children and Their Older Parents: The Coming Generation of Caregiving

ABSTRACT

This study uses a data set of older children and their older parents to examine caregiving relationships. Using the 1993 Panel Study of Income Dynamics and the 1993 Health Care Burden file, we examine help given by children to their parents. We distinguish between daughters who are household heads and daughters who are wives. We find parents receive substantially more care from daughters than from sons. The caregiving role of daughters who are household heads differs notably from that of wives. An analysis of caregiving, employment, and housework shows that children who are caregivers devote more combined hours to these activities than children who do not provide care.     

Recent Perspectives on Active Life Expectancy for Older Women

SUMMARY

This article provides a critical review of recent active life expectancy literature, describing trends of special interest to women. We review findings from leading perspectives used to study life expectancy and active life expectancy, including gender, racial and socioeconomic differences, disease-specific effects, and biodemography. We examine three competing theories of population health that frame active life expectancy research—compression of morbidity, expansion of morbidity, and dynamic equilibrium—concluding there is support for both the compression of morbidity and dynamic equilibrium theories. Policy implications for women include a greater understanding of the role of education and racial and ethnic diversity in active life trends, and an increased public policy emphasis on prevention and treatment of chronic disease, together with adoption of more healthy lifestyles.     

The fallacy of the lump of labour theory: Evidence for Latin America

In a context of population ageing, this article analyses the “lump of labour” theory using empirical evidence from Latin America. Instead of finding a crowding-out effect, estimations using a fixed effects model on a panel of annual data drawn from household surveys in 11 countries between 2002 and 2019 suggest a positive correlation between the employment rates of older adults and young people. Additionally, results show a positive association between the labour incomes of older and young workers. These findings could indicate that an expansion in the employment of older adults maintains economic growth and, therefore, a greater demand for labour, which could be supplied by young people.     

日本犯罪被害人保护法制度及其对我们的启示

在日本熏有关犯罪被害人的保护法制度一直是备受关注的。从2000年开始熏日本相继制定和修改了一系列有关犯罪被害的防止和犯罪被害人保护的法律,尤其是犯罪被害保护“二法”的出台,使日本在犯罪被害人保护法方面走在了世界的前列。“二法”通过减轻被害人的心理和精神负担以及扩大被害人权利救济的各种措施,使被害人保护呈现出独立性、实效性、体系化以及对被害人和被告人进行平衡保护的制度特征。日本犯罪被害人保护法制度为我国构建被害人保护法制度提供了有益的借鉴和参考。     

经济发达地区大龄女童生存的现状及问题——以浙江省为例

浙江省大龄女童在健康照料、人际关系、教育等方面的同男童的差异已不复存在,个别指标显示大龄女童的生存环境甚至优于同龄男童,但农村大龄女童生存依然面临严峻形势：奶制品和肉/鱼类的需求满足度低,缺少父母的监护而面临较高的生存风险,接受优质教育资源的机会较为稀缺,家庭学习条件差、期望学历层次低,遭受老师忽视和体罚的风险高。分析显示,大龄女童在健康照料方面不受＂代际＂因素的影响,而在教育、营养供给、体罚等方面有明显的＂代际＂印记。提高大龄女童生存品质需重点关注低教育程度家庭大龄女童的＂失学＂问题,留守＂大龄女童＂的健康和安全问题,以及农村大龄女童遭受父母的体罚问题。     

刑事法中被害人过错相关问题探析--以犯罪互动为视角

在犯罪互动过程中,被害人过错往往是诱发犯罪的主要原因。为此,首先应该厘清被害人过错在刑事法中的表达及其蕴藏的法理,然后通过立法将其由酌定量刑情节上升为法定量刑情节,这样将更有利于预防犯罪,尊重和保障人权,构建和谐社会。

恢复性司法中的被害人

恢复性司法是通过恢复性程序实现恢复性结果的一种被害人司法。被害人参与恢复性司法具有全面性、实质性和有效性。恢复性司法中的被害恢复包括物质与精神损害恢复,以及人际关系恢复两个方面。从最大限度地保障被害人人权这个宗旨来考虑,恢复性司法原则上不应当为被害人设定责任。     

我国刑事被害人救助制度的未来走向——以国家刑事赔偿、国家刑事补偿与刑事被害人救助关系辨析为进路

从未来发展来看,背负更多政治使命和道义责任的中国刑事被害人救助制度的产生只是权宜之计,建立包含刑事被害人国家补偿在内的《国家补偿法》,并使之与《国家赔偿法》并行呼应,才是我们期冀的国家救济体系的理想模式。但是,就经济发展水平和社会文明程度而论,我国眼下并不存在建立刑事被害人国家补偿制度的可能,刑事被害人救助制度无疑是时下中国最好的选择。在筹建刑事被害人救助制度时,应当首先厘清国家刑事赔偿与国家刑事补偿,以及国家刑事补偿中的刑事被害人国家补偿与刑事被害人救助之间的关系,这是刑事被害人救助制度乃至相关立法体系的构建基点,也蕴涵着中国刑事被害人救助制度的未来走向。
