Sinopse

Health Equity examines the persistent disparities in healthcare, focusing on reproductive care, maternal health, and gender-specific medicine. It argues that achieving health equity requires addressing the social determinants of health such as poverty and discrimination, which create barriers to quality care. The book highlights that lack of access perpetuates cycles of poor health outcomes, economic instability, and social injustice, impacting not only individuals but also families and society.

 
The approach of Health Equity involves a multi-faceted analysis, supported by epidemiological studies, policy analyses, and qualitative research, revealing the lived experiences of those affected by healthcare inequities.

 
The book progresses from establishing a foundational understanding of health equity and social determinants, to exploring reproductive and maternal health issues, and finally addressing gender-specific medical treatment.

 
Ultimately, the book advocates for systemic reforms and collaborative efforts to promote a more just and equitable healthcare system.

Side Hustle Safety Net - How...

Alexandrea J. Ravenelle

The first major study of how the pandemic affected gig workers—a sociological exploration that reads like a novel. 
 
 
  
This is the story of what the most vulnerable wage earners—gig workers, restaurant staff, early-career creatives, and minimum-wage laborers—do when the economy suddenly collapses. In Side Hustle Safety Net, Alexandrea J. Ravenelle builds on interviews with nearly two hundred gig-based and precarious workers, conducted during the height of the pandemic, to uncover the unique challenges they faced in unprecedented times. 
 
 
  
This book looks at both the officially unemployed and the "forgotten jobless"—a digital-era demographic that turned to side hustles—and reveals how they fared. CARES Act assistance allowed some to change careers, start businesses, perhaps transform their lives. However, gig workers and those involved in "polyemployment" found themselves at the mercy of outdated unemployment systems, vulnerable to scams, and attempting dubious survival strategies. Ultimately, Side Hustle Safety Net argues that the rise of the gig economy, partnered with underemployment and economic instability, has increased worker precarity with disastrous consequences.
