This article examines the link between regional disparity and social mobility in India. There has been a steady rise in economic inequality in India. The rapid economic growth coupled with a rise in income inequality is a serious concern in India. While the emphasis is on inclusive growth, it appears difficult to tackle the problem without looking at the intricacies of the problem. The Social Mobility Index is an important tool that focuses on bringing long-term equality by identifying priority policy areas in the country. We used a multivariate statistical approach to construct a social mobility index at the regional level by considering several social and economic variables. Our findings show that while the Union Territory of Delhi ranks first in the social mobility index, Chhattisgarh has the least social mobility. From a policy perspective, a comprehensive examination of the determinants of the social mobility index shows that health, education access, and quality, and equity of education are of great importance in improving social mobility. Considering India's potential economic growth resulting from its 'demographic dividend' and improved access, markets, and technology, increasing social mobility through facilitating equal opportunities in society is key to achieving inclusive growth.

Objectives : Social phobia is frequently accompanied with autonomic nerve system symptoms. QT dispersion(QTd) is the maximum inter-lead difference in QT interval, an indicator of the autonomic nerve system(ANS) disparity of the heart itself. The objective of this study is to investigate the ANS disparity, which is measured by QTd, is associated with pathophysiology of social phobia. Methods : This research have compared QT dispersion of 25 physically healthy social phobia outpatients(16 men, 9 women, the average age $35.5{\pm}12.9$) and age and sex matched control group of mentally and physically healthy 25 volunteers(16 men, 9 women, the average age $34.83{\pm}12.7$). QTd was measured by previously described method. Results : QTd and rate-corrected QTd were significantly higher on the patient group than the control group[QTd(patients vs. controls : $52.60{\pm}27.63ms$ vs. $27.53{\pm}14.29ms$, p<0.0001), QTd(patients vs. controls : $55.79{\pm}27.98ms$ vs. $29.10{\pm}14.24ms$, p<0.0001)]. Conclusion : Our study showed that the patients with social phobia have higher QTd than the normal controls. These results suggest that the ANS disparity, which is measured by QTd, is associated with pathophysiology of social phobia.

Regionalism has become a liability in Korea, hampering national harmony and political stability. The regionalism finds its roots in several centuries back in history. The traditional regionalism was based on the provincial differences in cultural and social characteristics, and behavioral mannerism. Therefore, the traditional regionalism should be regarded as benign and common as in many other countries in the world. The modern version of Korean regionalism seems to be founded on the "discriminatory" treatments of Honam provinces in economic policy and the resultant regional economic disparity during the last three decades. Many believe that such "discriminatory" policy had been enforced during the period of the "third" and "fourth" republics under the influence of the key government officials and presidents form the Southeastern provinces. Since the early 80s, many public investment projects have found its home in the Honam region with the consideration of regional balance and more equitable distribution. This paper attempts to elucidate on various causes of regional disparity amplified during the period of industrialization, and also presents the economic indices which demonstrate the impacts of the policy in narrowing the economic disparity among the regions in recent years. The paper also clarifies the limits of regional economic policy in achieving regional. balance and consequently social integrity. The last part of the paper attempts to clarify the effective domain of regional policy and the new direction of regionalism.cy and the new direction of regionalism.

최근 세계화와 산업구조조정으로 인해 가속되는 사회경제적 양극화는 학력자본의 세대 간 대물림으로 고착될 위험에 처해 있다. 본 연구는 학력자본의 대물림은 거주지 분리를 매개로 이루어진다는 인식 하에 중년층의 교육수준별 거주지 분리에 따른 근린주거환경의 격차를 서울시를 사례로 분석하였다. 국지적 거주지 분리 측도를 통해 근린별 거주지 분리를 측정하고 자연, 주택, 지역인구, 생활 편의 교통, 교육, 복지문화 등 다양한 분야의 근린주거환경을 가늠하는 변수들을 활용했다. 분석 결과 학력층별 집중-집적지 간에는 뚜렷한 근린주거환경의 격차가 나타났다. 특히 저학력층과 고학력층 집중-집적지 사이에는 주택환경과 교육환경 측면에서 정반대의 성격을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 한국 도시의 계층별 거주지 분리의 원인에 대한 주장을 뒷받침하는 증거가 되기도 한다.

Objectives: This study examined the trends in gender disparity in the self-rated health of people aged 25 to 64 in South Korea, a rapidly changing society, with specific attention to socio-structural inequality. Methods: Representative sample data were obtained from six successive, nationwide Social Statistics Surveys of the Korean National Statistical Office performed during 1992 to 2010. Results: The results showed a convergent trend in poor self-rated health between genders since 1992, with a sharper decline in gender disparity observed in younger adults (aged 25 to 44) than in older adults (aged 45 to 64). The diminishing gender gap seemed to be attributable to an increase in women;s educational attainment levels and to their higher status in the labor market. Conclusions: The study indicated the importance of equitable social opportunities for both genders for understanding the historical trends in the gender gap in the self-reported health data from South Korea.

The patients with a central nervous impediment and a sequela caused by a Stroke are continuously increasing, and the burden of family and society for Stroke patients are also increasing. Since Stroke patients are required to receive a long time medical treatment and care. It adds a economical burden as well as a mental and physical burden of patient's family. In addition, it is a primary factor which deepens the disparity of medical resources in social aspect. But the social concern for these patients are very insufficient and are entirely left to the patient's family The mediation of Skilled Nursing Facility for Stroke patients enable to receive more special and proper medical treatment and recuperation service in the middle of time when they return to home from hospital. It also contributes to the settlement of the charge of patient's family and the serious disparity of medical resources. Therefore, this study will summon the social understanding of the necessity of Skilled Nursing Facilities through the above debate.

본 연구는 교육환경이 형성하는 주택가격에 관한 문제를 사회공간적 격차(양극화)의 문제와 연관된다는 점에 주목한다. 즉 본 연구는 공적인 특성과 기능을 가진 교육환경이 주택가격 결정요인으로 작용하면서 주택가치의 사유화되는 과정 속에서 사회적인 격차를 초래한다는 점을 밝히고자 한다. 서울시 사례를 통하여 교육환경으로 인한 부동산 가치의 결정, 그에 따른 소득(자산)의 공간적 격차 심화가 일어나는 현상을 거시적으로 확인하였다. 더불어 본 연구의 핵심주제인 교육환경으로 인한 주택 가격의 결정과 그에 영향을 미치는 세부 요인들을 양천구를 사례로 실증분석 하였다. 결과적으로 공간적 스케일에 따라 모두 교육환경, 주택가격 및 사회적 격차는 상관관계를 가진 분포패턴을 분명히 보이고 있으며, 아울러 세부 실증분석에서도 교육환경이 주택상품 그 자체의 물리적 특성에 못지않게 가격결정에 중요한 역할을 수행하는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 결국 교육환경과 교육성과 및 소득격차 간 연계성을 사회적으로만 다루는 것이 아니라 공간적으로 다루어야 한다는 점을 강조하게 된다. 아울러 기존 주택부문 연구에서도 단지 주택가격 결정이 기술적인 연구가 아니라 사회공간적 격차와 관련된 사회과학적 이슈로도 다루어져야 한다는 점을 분명히 보여주고 있다. 본 연구는 연구내용 자체의 한계점에도 불구하고, 그러한 연구의 필요성을 제기하는 시론적이며 기초적인 연구로서 향후 더 많은 관련 연구의 출발점으로서 의의가 있다고 본다.

Objectives : This study describes trends in the socioeconomic disparities in breast cancer screening among US women aged 40 or over, from 2000 to 2005. We assessed 1) the disparities in each socioeconomic dimension; 2) the changes in screening mammography rates over time according to income, education, and race; and 3) the sizes and trends of the disparities over time. Methods : Using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) from 2000 to 2005, we calculated the age-adjusted screening rate according to relative household income, education level, health insurance, and race. Odds ratios and the relative inequality index (RII) were also calculated, controlling for age. Results : Women in their 40s and those with lower relative incomes were less likely to undergo screening mammography. The disparity based on relative income was greater than that based on education or race (the RII among low-income women across the survey years was 3.00 to 3.48). The overall participation rate and absolute differences among socioeconomic groups changed little or decreased slightly across the survey years. However, the degree of each socioeconomic disparity and the relative inequality among socioeconomic positions remained quite consistent. Conclusions : These findings suggest that the trend of the disparity in breast cancer screening varied by socioeconomic dimension. Continued differences in breast cancer screening rates related to income level should be considered in future efforts to decrease the disparities in breast cancer among socioeconomic groups. More focused interventions, as well as the monitoring of trends in cancer screening participation by income and education, are needed in different social settings.
