“…As the aging population increases, the number of people living with dementia worldwide is growing rapidly [ 3 ]. Much of the rapid growth in aging populations is occurring in low- and middle-income countries in Asia [ 4 ]. This creates challenges in providing health care services that focus on older populations, and particularly dementia care, in these low- and middle-income Asian countries, such as Indonesia [ 5 ].…”

(1) Background: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a telehealth home-based exercise program for older people with dementia living in Indonesia with support from their informal carers. (2) Methods: Pre–post intervention single group study with three assessment time-points (baseline, 12 and 18 weeks). Participants with dementia underwent a 12-week physiotherapist-delivered telehealth exercise program, with informal carer supervision between supervised online sessions, and continued the exercises for a further six weeks without physiotherapist online supervision. (3) Results: Thirty dyads of older people with dementia and their informal carers were recruited; four (13.3%) withdrew across the 12-week intervention and one (3.3%) in the 6-week self-maintenance period. Median adherence was 84.1% (IQR [25, 75] = 17.1) during the 12-week intervention, and 66.7% (IQR [25, 75] = 16.7) in the self-maintenance period. No falls/adverse events were reported. Physical activity level, some aspects of function and disability, health-related benefits of exercise, exercise enjoyment and quality of life of older people with dementia improved significantly at 12 and 18 weeks. (4) Conclusions: The telehealth exercise program is feasible and safe and may have benefits for the health outcomes of community-living older people with dementia in Indonesia. Additional strategies are necessary to enhance longer-term adherence to the program.

“…In the context of middle-income regions (and countries), a lot of attention has been given to the heterogeneity of the poor in terms of barriers that reduce their upward mobility. In Latin America, for example, these factors have been examined for particular groups of the poor, such as indigenous populations (Patrinos, Skoufias, and Lunde 2007), and more recently, the chronically poor (Vakis, Rigolini, and Lucchetti 2016).…”

ObjectivesThe demand on Japanese women to fulfill their dual roles as mothers and labor force participants leads to a subsequent reduction of their employment hours, switching of occupations, or quitting the labor force. This study aims to examine paternal factors associated with mothers' employment status 18 months after childbirth.MethodsWe used data from the 2010 cohort of the Longitudinal Survey of Newborns conducted in Japan. We restricted our analysis to 10 712 mothers who had full‐time employment 1 year before childbirth. A logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess paternal factors associated with mothers' employment after childbirth.ResultsOne‐third of the mothers with full‐time employment before childbirth were not working full‐time 18 months after delivery. We found that high childcare involvement (score 13–18) of fathers (OR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.01–1.43) and fathers with part‐time employment (OR, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.12–2.26) were associated with higher odds of mothers' full‐time employment. Fathers' weekly work of ≥60 h (OR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.71–0.88) and higher annual income decreased the odds ratios by over 20%.ConclusionsFathers' work arrangements and involvement in childcare play a key role in helping mothers resume employment postchildbirth.
