“…Similar results were reported by Kesterton et al from rural Karnataka. [18] A clean material was used to tie the cord in 301(86.1%) of the deliveries which are higher than the findings of the study done in urban slums of Indore by Agarwal et al [19,20] . Among the women who were delivered by unskilled birth attendants majority used unsterile material to tie the cord compared to those delivered by skilled personnel.…”

“…home vs. institution had been documented by Varma et al in Uttar Pradesh where a higher percentage (79%) of women who delivered in an institution fed colostrum as compared to those delivered at home (59%) and this difference was statistically significant (p< 0.01). [21] The prevalence of Exclusive breastfeeding was 14.4% subjects among the study participants which is lower than slums in Indore where Agarwal et al reported the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding as 44.6% [20] . Early initiation of breastfeeding was more in those newborns who were delivered by skilled personnel compared to those delivered by unskilled care providers.…”

Background: Newborn death accounts for 40% of all deaths among the under five children. Most of the newborns are born and die at home in developing country. Newborn health intervention trials at the home and community is identified as one of the key strategy to prevent most newborn death. Objectives:The study was conducted to assess the newborn care practices and the associated factors among the mothers of resettlement colony in Delhi.Method: Cross sectional study was conducted among mothers of newborn in an urban slum of East Delhi. Systematic random sampling method was adopted to interview 360 mothers who had live newborns under 28 days old. The data was collected using a pretested, validated and semi structured questionnaire .Appropriate statistical tests were applied.Results: Among 360 study participants, 206(57.2%) preferred home delivery and 154(42.7%) of deliveries was conducted by skilled birth attendant. 31.1% of newborns were dried immediately. The cord was cut after the delivery of placenta among 189(52.5%) of the newborns. 85.3% of mothers something applied on the cord. 18.1% of mothers discarded colostrum. 81.9% of newborns were given prelacteal feeding. Mothers literacy, birth order, no of antenatal visits, place of delivery were significantly associated with the newborn care practices. Conclusion:It is observed that detrimental newborn care practices were more common than the beneficial practices in the study. Understanding newborn care practices at home and community level is essential to improve existing intervention to reduce neonatal mortality.

“…On this basis, Vogel (2017) explored the impact of aging on LP, economic aggregates and social welfare with the further population statistics of the three oldest countries in Europe (France, Germany and Italy) and the rest of EU zone. It was found that there was a spatial aggregating feature in different areas (Agarwal, Sethi, Srivastava, Jha, & Baqui, 2009;Jianmin, 2015). Relying on data from various regions of Italy from 2000 to 2013, Mussini (2018) analyzed the regional labor productivity (RLP) and concluded that the level of LP was the main cause of unbalanced regional development (Meng, 2013).…”

Under the background of the aging social-transformation, studying the relationship between the change of age structure (CAS) and labor productivity (LP) was of great practical significance for sustainable development of China's economy. Therefore this paper first examined the overall impact of age structure changes on LP by the provincial panel data from year 2006 to 2015. Then regional difference was also carried out through the two dimensions of demographic dividend and population urbanization. Results showed that CAS with the increase of total dependency ratio and child dependency ratio had a significant negative impact on provincial LP. Increasing the labor input and accelerating the upgrading of human capital were the main lines to deal with the challenges of aging. From the perspective of demographic dividend and population urbanization, the impact of CAS on LP showed obvious inter-provincial and regional development differences.
