“…The direct and indirect effects of maternal abuse on past-year IPV and household child abuse were not significant among women who gave birth later in young adulthood. These non-significant effects may be due to women's pre-marital human and social resources (e.g., greater schooling attainment), which in turn may interrupt intergenerational pathways of adversity, enhance women's agency and accord women greater protection from violence in the home ( Schuster et al, 2019 ; Yount et al, 2016 ). Further, pathways between maternal abuse, past-year IPV and household child abuse were attenuated as women aged.…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) and child abuse are prevalent in Burma (Myanmar). However, gaps exist in our understanding of intergenerational cycles and co-occurrence of violence, and whether patterns of violence vary by women and children's life course transitions and developmental stages. Using data from the 2015–2016 Demographic and Health Survey, we estimated structural equation models to evaluate the pathways between women's exposure to IPV perpetrated by her father against her mother (maternal abuse), her own past-year experiences of IPV, attitudes toward IPV, and household child discipline practices. We ran stratified analyses by women's age at first birth and child's age to assess whether intergenerational cycles and co-occurrence of violence in the household vary by pivotal life events and development stages. Maternal abuse was directly and indirectly associated with women's past-year exposure to physical and/or sexual IPV and children's exposure to physical or emotional child abuse by a caregiver in the household. Stratified models indicated significant intergenerational cycles of IPV and co-occurrence of IPV and child abuse among women who experienced first childbirth before age 23, and among women living with older children. We conclude that synchronized efforts to prevent violence against women and violence against children are integral to addressing cyclical and co-occurring patterns of violence in Burma (Myanmar). Violence prevention efforts might consider developmental stage and life course factors that may intensify risk of intergenerational violence.

“…Examples of sophisticated spatial demographic work in SE Asia are numerous; too numerous to be adequately presented in a short comment. Included in this body of literature are research programs that were and continue to be cutting edge, including: detailed studies of the interactions between population settlements and environment (Walsh et al, 2005, Kermel-Torrès, 2020, Schönweger, 2012, sophisticated analyses of migration movements and settlements (Shao et al, 2008), novel approaches to measuring access to family planning services (Entwisle et al, 1997, Rittirong et al, 2013, detailed work on changing fertility patterns in places where data are scarce (Schuster et al, 2019), and the generation of gridded population estimates across the region (Gaughan et al, 2013. ) This list is not exhaustive, but rather is meant to illustrate the wealth of spatial demographic work that has been done in this region.…”

In 2011 a specialist meeting on the "Future Directions in Spatial Demography" was held in Santa Barbara, California (Matthews, Goodchild, & Janelle, 2012). 1 This specialist meeting was the capstone to a multi-year National Institutes of Health training grant that had supported workshops in advanced spatial analysis methods increasing used by population scientists. 2 Early-career scholars who had participated in the training workshops and senior demographers and geographers drawn from across the United States participated in the specialist meeting. 3 The application process to attend the 2011 meeting, required that each of the forty-one attendees submit a statement that reviewed challenges and identified new directions for spatial demography, including gaps in current knowledge regarding innovations in geospatial data, spatial statistical methods, and the integration of data and models to enhance the science of spatial demography in population and health research.
