“…For instance, it is estimated that in the region, women earn approximately 40% of men’s incomes (UNDP, 2005). However, an examination of data from the Jamaican Survey of Living Conditions (from 1990 to 2010) found that children received larger resource shares in female-headed households compared to households headed by males, which might mediate disparities in the relationship between family structure and delinquency (Bose-Duker et al, 2021). Future work needs to incorporate these structural factors.…”

“…Differences in relationship status by ethnicity have been identified, with the East Indian population more likely to be married before parenthood than African descent (McKenzie, 1993). Visiting relationships and common-law unions – living together without being legally married – are more common in the region than legal marriages (Safa, 2005; Bose-Duker et al, 2021). Parental migration, particularly of men in society, to other areas of the country or other nations for employment opportunities is common and influences family structure and processes in most nations in the Caribbean (Ho, 1993; St Bernard, 2003).…”

Growing up in a household without two parents present is an established risk factor for youth delinquency. However, much of the research on family structure and delinquency derives from U.S. samples, limiting applicability to the developing world. The present study explores the role of traditional and non-traditional family structures on self-reported delinquency in eight English-speaking Caribbean nations. We further examine the moderating role of family processes (parental attachment and parental supervision) and commitment to negative peers on this relationship. We find that youth from intact nuclear families, with a mother and father present, engage in less delinquency than youth from intact blended, single-parent, or no-parent households. Further, family structure moderated the relationship between delinquency, parental attachment, and commitment to negative peers. Theoretical and research implications are discussed.

“…The marginal effect of gender is negative and significant (β 5 À0.525, p < 0.05) exhibiting that female-headed households are 4% more likely to access food grain relief. Female-headed households are comparatively more vulnerable in rural areas than male-headed households due to limited livelihood opportunities (Bose-Duker et al, 2021). Gelb et al (2021) assessed that a number of social assistance programs have been developed and implemented in India to deliver benefits to women.…”

PurposeThis paper aims at analyzing the determinants of access to relief under social assistance programs among rural households during COVID-19 outbreaks in India.Design/methodology/approachThe study is based on the data of COVID-19-Related Shocks Survey, which covered 5,200 rural households across 6 states of India namely Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. The access to relief has been assessed as relief-in kind (RIK) as a free special package of wheat, rice, and pulses, supplied through the public distribution system; and direct benefit transfer (DBT) in cash under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Yojana and the Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana (PMJDY). The association between demographic profiles of rural households and access to relief has been analyzed using the chi-square test. Further, marginal effects have been estimated to assess the determinants of rural households' access to relief.FindingsThe results show a significant association between types of relief vis-à-vis demographic profiles of the rural households. A significant difference in access to relief among rural households is also evident across the states. Further, the analysis of the marginal effects indicates that female-headed households belonging to lower social class, depending on non-agricultural occupation with lower income, belonging to below poverty line families and seeking wage employment, are more likely to access relief as food grains; whereas male respondents with lower age, belonging to lower-income quartile with memberships in Self Help Groups are more likely to access the cash benefit transfers.Practical implicationsThe COVID-19 pandemic has affected the food security and livelihood of many across the globe, which necessitated provisioning a package of support to everyone, particularly rural poor households. The World Bank undertook the COVID-19-Related Shocks Survey to provide a quick policy response for managing the risk of COVID-19 outbreak effectively. The results of this study provide timely insights for developing an effective relief strategy for rural households during a crisis.Originality/valueThere is limited investigation on access to relief by rural households during the COVID-19 outbreaks and factors affecting the access to relief in terms of cash and kind. This study has utilized a reliable data source to analyze the access of relief packages by the rural communities during the coronavirus outbreak.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/IJSE-10-2021-0632.
