The Economics of HIV and AIDS
Author: David E. Bloom
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
This book fills an important gap by identifying the economic roots of HIV and AIDS in South and South East Asia. The Economics of HIV and AIDS contains case studies from India, Sri Lanka and Thailand. Four of these are based on primary data and are original. Each uses common economic concepts to assess the costs of HIV and AIDS and explores the impact of HIV and AIDS on economic growth, and the economic roots of the two diseases. This book provides a new perspective on the economic impact of the HIV and AIDS epidemic by emphasizing the class differentials both in the vulnerability of social groups and their access to services.

Immigration and Asylum [3 volumes]
Author: Matthew J. Gibney
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1576077977
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1124
Book Description
A comprehensive and timely examination of the history and current status of immigrants and refugees—their stories, the events that led to their movement, and the place of these movements in contemporary history and politics. Immigration and Asylum: From 1900 to the Present is an accessible and up-to-date introduction to the key concepts, terms, personalities, and real-world issues associated with the surge of immigration from the beginning of the 20th century to the present. It focuses on the United States, but is also the first encyclopedic work on the subject that reflects a truly global perspective. With contributions from the world's foremost authorities on the subject, Immigration and Asylum offers nearly 200 entries organized around four themes: immigration and asylum; the major migrating groups around the world; expulsions and other forced population movements; and the politics of migration. In addition to basic entries, the work includes in-depth essays on important trends, events, and current conditions. There is no better resource for exploring just how profoundly the voluntary and forced movement of asylum seekers and refugees has transformed the world—and what that transformation means to us today.

HIV and AIDS in South Asia
Author: Markus Haacker
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 0821378260
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
This book offers an original perspective on AIDS as a development issue in South Asia, a region with a heterogeneous epidemic and estimated national HIV prevalence rates of up to 0.5 percent. The analysis challenges the common perception of HIV and AIDS which has been shaped to a large extent by analysis of HIV and AIDS in other regions with much higher prevalence rates. Three risks to development are associated with HIV and AIDS in South Asia: the risk of escalation of concentrated epidemics, the economic welfare costs, and the fiscal costs of scaling up treatment.
