Viele der derzeit in Deutschland lebenden Älteren mit Migrationsgeschichte sind im Zielland ihrer Migration unter spezifischen Bedingungen, die mit dem Migrations- und Integrationsprozess einhergehen können, älter geworden. Allerdings ist bislang wenig über diese Gruppe bekannt. Wie wirkt sich d...as biografische Ereignis „Migration“ auf die Lebensqualität, die sozioökonomische Situation und die Gesundheit im Alter aus? Welche Unterschiede gibt es zwischen der älteren Bevölkerung mit und ohne Migrationsgeschichte? Diese Research Note gibt einen Überblick über die einschlägige Forschungsliteratur. Sie beschreibt den Forschungsstand in ausgewählten Lebensbereichen und identifiziert Erkenntnislücken sowie zukünftige Forschungsfragen an der Schnittstelle Migration und Alter(n). Darüber hinaus wird die Lebenssituation älterer Menschen mit Migrationsgeschichte nicht nur dargestellt, sondern auch zugrunde liegende Ursachen für mögliche Unterschiede in den Lebensverhältnissen im Vergleich zu Gleichaltrigen ohne Migrationsgeschichte skizziert.

InfoSapiens research agency, commissioned by USAID Economic Resilience Activity, conducted a telephone survey in different regions of Ukraine in August 2022. A total of 1,000 women and men aged 16 to 60+ were asked about access to the Internet, jobs, gender-based violence, and business prospects dur...ing the war.
Almost half – 45% of people – responded that they do not have access to the Internet or a computer and cannot study or work online.
One in five respondents is forced to save on groceries or borrow to buy something other than food (telephone, furniture).

Little is known about foreign aid provided by private donors. This paper contributes to closing this research gap by comparing the allocation of private humanitarian aid to that of official humanitarian aid awarded to 140 recipient countries over the 2000-2016 period. We construct a new database tha...t offers information on the country in which the headquarters of private donors are located to test whether private donors follow the aid allocation pattern of their home country. Our empirical results confirm that private aid “follows the flag.” This finding is robust against the inclusion of various fixed effects, estimating instrumental variables models, and disaggregating private aid into corporate aid and NGO aid. Donor country-specific estimations reveal that private aid from China, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States “follow the flag.”

Prior research has considered donor funding for developing world health by recipient and donor country but not by disease. Examining funding by disease is critical since diseases may be in competition with one another for priority and donors may be making allocation decisions in ways that do not cor...respond to developing world need. In this study I calculate donor funding for 20 historically high-burden communicable diseases for the years 1996 to 2003 and examine factors that may explain variance in priority levels among diseases. I consider funding for developing world health from 42 major donors, classifying grants according to the communicable disease targeted. Data show that funding does not correspond closely with burden. Acute respiratory infections comprise more than a quarter of the burden among these diseases but receive less than 3% of direct aid. Malaria also stands out as a high-burden neglected disease.
