“…These results highlight the importance of adopting a multidimensional perspective when evaluating poverty and its implications for health outcomes. The gender dynamics within households play a significant role in decision-making processes and resource allocation [28,29]. Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) stands out as one of the regions with the highest levels of gender inequality [30].…”

Background Nigeria is facing a severe malaria crisis, accounting for a significant proportion of global cases and deaths of malaria. This study aimed to investigate the differences between female-headed households (FHHs) and male-headed households (MHHs) and their impact on malaria risk among children under five (U5) in Nigeria. Methods Data from the 2021 Nigeria Malaria Indicator Survey (NMIS) were used for this cross-sectional study. A representative sample of 10,988 households was analysed, with key variables subjected to frequency calculations, descriptive statistics, and bivariate analyses using t-tests and chi-square analyses to compare the differences between FHHs and MHHs. Results Among all participants, 92.1% (N = 10,126) reported residing in male-headed households, while 7.8% (N = 862) reported living in female-headed households. MHHs were significantly more likely to own insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) than FHHs (64.7% vs. 53.6%, P < 0.001). U5 children in MHHs had a greater likelihood of sleeping under a bed net the night before the survey than U5 children in FHHs (35.3% vs. 30.0%, P < 0.05). The prevalence of fever in the previous two weeks among U5 children was similar in MHHs and FHHs (35.4% vs. 31.4%), and the testing rates for malaria among U5 children who experienced febrile episodes were higher in MHHs than FHHs (22.4% vs. 15.4%, P < 0.05). Although not statistically significant, FHHs exhibited a higher percentage of U5 children testing positive for malaria compared to MHHs (87.8% vs. 78.9%). On the other hand, FHHs had higher education levels, overall wealth index scores, and a larger presence in urban areas compared to MHHs (P < 0.001). Moreover, FHHs reported higher adherence to malaria prevention awareness (P < 0.001). Conclusion In Nigeria, FHHs enjoy relatively better socioeconomic conditions and stronger awareness of malaria prevention compared to their male-headed counterparts. Contrary to expectations, FHHs are at an increased risk of malaria in children under 5 years old. This phenomenon is associated with entrenched gender inequality and the challenges women face in accessing critical assets. As women in FHHs bear the responsibility of income generation while caring for their children, it is crucial to prioritize interventions that address malaria management in FHHs to reduce both malaria incidence and mortality rates.

“…El estudio realizado por Deschenes et al (2020) aborda la necesidad imperante de explorar y adoptar comportamientos y estrategias que optimicen la organización de las actividades del hogar, incluyendo las responsabilidades laborales y la gestión financiera. Al respecto, se destaca la relevancia de considerar los intereses y preferencias divergentes dentro de las parejas, especialmente en lo concerniente al uso de los recursos del hogar y las posibles consecuencias de tales discrepancias.…”

El objetivo de esta investigación fue identificar los factores principales considerados en la administración del hogar para luego señalar su relación con el nivel educativo, la edad y el género. Para ello, se realizó un análisis directo de la forma en cómo se ha presentado el ingreso y gasto a nivel nacional, a partir de la Encuesta Nacional de Ingresos y Gastos de los Hogares (ENIGH) 2022, con un total de 37 millones de viviendas analizadas. Como complemento se efectuó una encuesta con una muestra de 212 casos para identificar y contrastar la forma en que algunas familias administran sus hogares (caso de estudio) a través de la prueba de ji al cuadrado, utilizando el software IBM SPSS Statistics 23. Los resultados señalaron que la principal fuente de ingreso de los hogares fue el trabajo, que sumó el 65.7 % del ingreso total, posteriormente las transferencias y la estimación del alquiler de la vivienda, que representaron el 17.2 y 11.8 %, respectivamente. El gasto corriente por grandes rubros fue para alimentos, bebidas y tabaco, posteriormente para transporte y en tercera posición para la educación. Los hogares de la CDMX, Baja California y Querétaro presentaron el mayor gasto promedio mensual. Igualmente, los resultados del caso de estudio mostraron que únicamente el 56 % reconocen que administran sus hogares y de ellos 58 % son mujeres. Finalmente se acepta la H0, ya que el resultado de la prueba fue mayor que 0.05, es decir, no existe una correlación directa entre la administración del hogar con la edad, el género ni el nivel de educativo.

“…This technique can be used to try to increase income from other sources or to cut expenditures by lowering the number and quality of goods or services (Abbas, Azizi, et al, 2021;Shakerian et al, 2016). Individuals' strategies are affected by their status in society's structure, belief system, and social networks, as well as their competence in mobilizing existing resources, skill level, asset ownership, kind of employment, gender status, and personal motivation (Armstrong & Fischer, 2020;Deschênes et al, 2020). According to the study's findings, the most common active strategy used amongst tourist personnel is income diversification or the search for additional income through side employment.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire world. The industry experienced a significant downturn. Unprecedented global travel restrictions and government instructions to stay at home are causing the most significant disruption to the global economy. Many hotel employees have been laid off both formally and informally in the current pandemic situation. It results in people losing their income. This study aims to analyze the strategies used by human resources in the tourism sector, especially hospitality, which has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic to survive in the middle. This study uses an approach using descriptive analysis. Informants who previously worked in the tourism sector and made Covid-19 adapt and implement various strategies simultaneously to survive and be resilient during the pandemic. The methods used to collect data are questionnaires and interviews. The analysis in this study was conducted using a qualitative descriptive method. The research findings reveal the dominance of the strategies adopted by key informants. Entrepreneurial orientation, motivation and effort are the most prominent approaches in an active strategy to solve problems. Former hoteliers gain resilience to survive during the pandemic by empowering skills from past work experience in star hotels and conducting retraining programs through government policies. Human resources in the tourism sector are expected to foster social-based entrepreneurship or opportunities and needs-based entrepreneurship so that businesses remain stable in the future.
