Mamolo M, Coppola L, Di Cesare M, 2011, Formal Childcare Use and Household Socio-economic Profile in France, Italy, Spain and UK, Population Review (Online Edition), Vol: 50
In this article we explore the association between the time spent in formal childcare by very young children (0-2 years old) and the socio-economic characteristics of their households. The paper aims to evaluate the different impact of important household determinants of childcare use, given different policy measures in support of families, childcare and family-work reconciliation in France, Italy, Spain and UK. We use data from the EU-SILC. Our analyses show that employment status and economic condition are important factors that influence parental decision-making on the use of formal childcare. The effect of these factors differs by country and type of childcare arrangement (part- or full-time), and reflects cultural and institutional differences in childcare and family policies and labour market regulations. France, Italy and Spain follow a similar pattern: women are seen as the principal caregivers. In these countries, the mother's characteristics (i.e. education and employment) are identified as key factors. The results for the UK are not as straightforward. Apart from the mother's employment status, in the UK both the father's and the mother's earnings are relevant.
Di Cesare M, Murphy M, 2010, Forecasting mortality, different approaches for different causes of death? The cases of lung cancer; influenza, pneumonia, and bronchitis; and motor vehicle accidents, British Actuarial Journal, Vol: 15 (Supplement), Pages: 185-211
Most of the methods of mortality forecasting have been assessed using performance on overall mortality, and few studies address the issue of identifying the appropriate forecasting models for specific causes of death. This study analyses trends and forecasts mortality rates for three major causes of death - lung cancer, influenza-pneumonia-bronchitis, and motor vehicle accidents - using Lee-Carter, Booth-Maindonald-Smith, Age-Period-Cohort, and Bayesian models to assess how far different causes of death need different forecasting methods. Using data from the Twentieth and Twenty-First Century Mortality databases for England and Wales, results show major differences among the different forecasting techniques. In particular, when linearity is the main driver of past trends, Lee-Carter-based approaches are preferred due to their straightforward assumptions and limited need for subjective judgment. When a clear cohort pattern is detectable, such as with lung cancer, the Age-Period-Cohort model shows the best outcome. When complete and reliable historical trends are available the Bayesian model does not produce better results than the other models.
