Socio-Economic+Difficulties

Australian Socio-Economic Difficulties The health of Australians has improved over the years since the 20th century that both males and females life expectancy has increased 20%, however, the health outcomes are still unequal from other socioeconomic subgroups. If the socioeconomic disadvantages increase, there is a simultaneous mortality from avoidable deaths, other causes, and morbidity, including changes in behavior. These risk factors could affect the person’s health, like smoking, exercise, and the types of diets the person is taking. Most of these socioeconomic disadvantages that occur in Australia are from population at tribulation. Socioeconomic position, including social and economic factors, can influence the positions individuals and groups hold within the structure of society that can also affect their health in the long run. The individual-level of a socioeconomic position could be from occupation, income, assets, education. The group/local-area of a socioeconomic position could be occupational, educational, the economic structure, housing characteristics, and indexes of poverty or deprivation. Main socioeconomic disadvantages that some Australians face are low income, high unemployment, low levels of education, and high levels of unskilled occupations. The people that are related to this socioeconomic disadvantage are Aboriginal people, people with low English fluency, and multiple families living in one house in one area. From this data from poor to rich people in Australia, the health outcome can be compared between areas of an overall socioeconomic status of any area. However, a disadvantage area is likely not to be notice in that certain area. The other downside to this ideal is that is doesn’t look at other socioeconomic factors like accumulated wealth, community infrastructure, or differences to the cost of living. In the disadvantaged area, there is a 32% more chance in the total disease burden, in which Australians could get cardiovascular disease, mental disorders, and diabetes and both sexes are more likely to have a higher all-cause death rate for males 15-24 and females 0-14 years old. These are the main contributing factors in a disadvantaged area and are associated with smoking and obesity in disadvantaged areas in Australia. Another socioeconomic factor is education and people that are poor or in a disadvantaged area from people that are rich and are in a normal to high standard of living are going to have different education rates for participation. It is usually between community groups found in most developed nations to the community groups that were found in the least developed nations. Education participation is a big problem in Australia and reason for that is that people that have socio-economic difficulties, half are likely to participate in an education. This has been a inequality stability problem for the last 10 years. The students that have an opinion about education think that they may not be able to go to an attainable school if they can afford it. Young people’s influence on higher education has always been a based on their socioeconomic background, gender, and geographical location. However, socioeconomic background is the major one that decides on the student’s perspective of education. Still, an overwhelming majority of students still want an education. Students with a poor socioeconomic background are less likely to think there might be a university that could offer courses that are interesting to them. The students with this idea, their beliefs are going to be:
 * __ Education __**
 * a TAFE course could be more beneficial to them than a university course
 * may not have interesting subjects they want to study for at the university
 * might not have enough confidence from the parent to make them want to go to a university
 * wanting to have money when they graduate from school

The other additional factors that cause them to think this way are:
 * they might be less confident if their academic results will be good enough to go to the university
 * likely to believe that there might not be any subjects that would interest them to go to the university

Iceland Socio-Economic Difficulties Segregation is one of the major socio-economic difficulties that Iceland and other people around the world deal with every day. Segregation affects most of the African Americans. There are high levels of black-white segregation that can’t be explained and the black-white segregation is viewed from social class, measured by education, occupation, or income. There has been a study about this and found that class differences don’t tell us anything from the difference of black-white segregation. However, in the 1990’s, middle class African Americans were still highly segregated from whites and lived in neighborhoods that had low median incomes, high poverty rates, and having other incidence problems.

There have also been some studies saying the class differences on racial segregation patterns is significant between black and white and would likely increase the black-white segregation that has been on the decline for 4-5 decades. While racial segregation increased, the housing discrimination for African Americans have become less segregated from all whites and the segregation of African Americans from 1990’s-2000 has also decreased.

Today, the evidence that there still is segregation is the some social classes play a bigger role now in the patterns of segregation for Hispanics and Asians than African Americans. An example of this is income differences for Hispanics is a big effect to them while the white doesn’t get effect as much. This also causes the Hispanic and Asian segregation to go too low to high socioeconomic status because of this income. The other evidence to the segregation is that Hispanic-white residential segregation didn’t matter as much as the white-black segregation. However, there is still no decline of Hispanic and Asian segregation and the high levels of immigration from Latin America and Asia have no to little decline in Hispanic-white and Asian-white segregation.

The discrimination against Hispanics in the housing market have decline, but they’re still is no change of discrimination against them in the rental market. There was a study that found that class differences didn’t explain any of the differences in Asian-white segregation but it did have a more significant difference on the Hispanic-white segregation. The study says that self-segregation plays a big role among Asians but not Hispanics.

Through the long history of racism and racial conflict between African Americans and whites has contributed to the many other patterns of society we see today, including the reductions in formal barriers to integration and in discrimination of other groups in Iceland and around the world.
