“…The high spatial granularity and relative superiority in performance leads us, also, to opt for WorldPop data. Other studies using WorldPop data to study urbanization or population dynamics in Africa are Chamberlain, Lazar, and Tatem (2022);Meredith et al (2021); Pezzulo et al (2017); Westlowski, Bengtsson, Buckee, Wetter, and Tatem (2014).…”

Rural underemployment and urbanization: Insights from a nine year household panel survey from Malawi

Rural labor markets in Africa are frequently characterized by underemployment, with farmers unable to fully deploy throughout the year one of their most important assets-their labor. Using a nine-year panel data set on 1,407 working-age adults from rural Malawi, we document changes in rural underemployment over this period and how they are associated with urbanization. Nearby urban growth results in increased hours worked in casual labor (ganyu) and in non-agricultural sectors, at the expense of work on the household farm. Improved urban access is also associated with a small increase in wage labor and, at the intensive margin, with hours supplied in household enterprises. We draw lessons from these results for policies, investments, and interventions to leverage urban growth for rural development.

“…At the population level, analyses of the spatial overlap between gaps in immunization coverage and other health services can complement these individual-level analyses. Spatial analyses conducted in recent years have emphasized the substantial degree of subnational inequality in vaccine coverage [13,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23], as well as other key health services and indicators [22,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Fewer studies have assessed whether subnational distributions of zero-dose (or no-DTP) children are similar to those for other health indicators [32].…”

Assessing Geographic Overlap between Zero-Dose Diphtheria–Tetanus–Pertussis Vaccination Prevalence and Other Health Indicators

The integration of immunization with other essential health services is among the strategic priorities of the Immunization Agenda 2030 and has the potential to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and equity of health service delivery. This study aims to evaluate the degree of spatial overlap between the prevalence of children who have never received a dose of the diphtheria–tetanus–pertussis-containing vaccine (no-DTP) and other health-related indicators, to provide insight into the potential for joint geographic targeting of integrated service delivery efforts. Using geospatially modeled estimates of vaccine coverage and comparator indicators, we develop a framework to delineate and compare areas of high overlap across indicators, both within and between countries, and based upon both counts and prevalence. We derive summary metrics of spatial overlap to facilitate comparison between countries and indicators and over time. As an example, we apply this suite of analyses to five countries—Nigeria, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Indonesia, Ethiopia, and Angola—and five comparator indicators—children with stunting, under-5 mortality, children missing doses of oral rehydration therapy, prevalence of lymphatic filariasis, and insecticide-treated bed net coverage. Our results demonstrate substantial heterogeneity in the geographic overlap both within and between countries. These results provide a framework to assess the potential for joint geographic targeting of interventions, supporting efforts to ensure that all people, regardless of location, can benefit from vaccines and other essential health services.
