"'A deeply unfair and unequal country’: report warns of unprecedented far-right gains in UK"

'The new report, Canaries, warns that the number of children in relative poverty is set to rise from 30% to 33% by 2028...

It also says that the number of children who live in overcrowded homes will rise from 1.8 million to 2 million by 2030, as housing becomes more expensive"

Recent research has found that housing quality, especially #overcrowding is a problem for tuberculosis transmission, but even more pressing is the absence of affordable housing, a “precondition” for health bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.

BioMed CentralInadequate housing and pulmonary tuberculosis: a systematic review - BMC Public HealthBackground Tuberculosis (TB) is a global health issue that has long threatened and continues to threaten human health. While previous studies are important in the search for a cure for TB, to eradicate the disease it is also crucial to analyze environmental influences. Therefore, this study determined the potential effect of inadequate housing on TB and the magnitude of the effect. Methods This is a systematic review of the effects of inadequate housing on TB. Between Jan 1, 2011 and Oct 25, 2020, we searched four electronic databases using the search terms “housing AND tuberculosis” or “housing AND TB”. The target population comprised residents of inadequate housing and the homeless. Results We found 26 eligible studies. The distribution of the studies across continents was uneven, and the housing issues of interest seemed to vary depending on the economic level of the country. The eight steps identified in TB development and the consequences thereof were more strongly associated with housing affordability than with housing quality. Conclusions This is the first systematic review to identify the effects of inadequate housing on TB and to categorize inadequate-housing-related exposure to TB in terms of affordability and quality. The steps identified in TB development and the consequences thereof had a greater association with housing affordability than with housing quality. Therefore, public health interventions regarding housing affordability could be more diverse, and interventions that support affordable housing for residents of inadequate housing and the homeless should proceed simultaneously to improve housing quality.

Together, we can and must promote a prison system that focuses on rehabilitation rather than punishment, a system that reflects the values of justice and humanity that we all deserve.

The growing number of #students in #Groningen is a hot topic, but is it a new phenomenon?
Already in the 1930s, people had lively discussions about an increasing student population.

Our #SpecialCollections keep documents from a committee tasked with advising the Dutch government on student #overcrowding, incl. a. survey for #academics, assessing whether universities worldwide faced similar challenges.

Dumping of cats and dogs a danger to native wildlife

"Cats not accepted at RSPCA NSW shelters for another month amid vaccine shortage. The decision has prompted concern that the illegal dumping of unwanted animals could increase. Invasive Species Council conservation officer Candice Bartlett said a rise in feral cat populations could have devastating impacts on native wildlife...Each year in Australia, cats that are allowed to roam kill 323 million native animals."
