The effect of number of siblings and birth order on educational attainment: Empirical Evidence from Chinese General Social Survey

Data from China demonstrate that the effect of the number of siblings on education is restricted by many factors, such as children’s gender, urban or rural household registration, whether there is only one child, the birth order of children within the family, and parents’ status. Chinese families have significant preferences for the eldest son and the youngest son. Moreover, research based on the natural experiment and instrumental variable approach suggests that market-oriented reform of education has increased the cost of family education expenditures since China’s reform and opening up, which further aggravates the negative impact on education of having many siblings in an urban setting.     

Invisible children? The need for support groups for siblings of disabled children

Previous research and first-hand experience suggest that a child with a disability can have a profound effect on family life. Although the need for sibling support has been acknowledged in legislation, the implications for non-disabled siblings remain unclear. In this article, Angie Naylor, lecturer in psychology, and Phil Prescott, senior lecturer in childhood and youth studies, both based at Edge Hill, review a number of key themes emerging from the literature on sibling support. They go on to report the findings from an in-depth study of one sibling support group. The work was carried out in partnership with Barnardo's in the north-west of England and involved setting up a sibling support group, in response to an analysis of local need, and evaluating its impact. This research indicates a clear need for further service provision to meet the needs of the siblings of disabled children who attended the scheme. Angie Naylor and Phil Prescott argue for a reinvigorated debate about the needs of such children and champion the importance of listening to children and valuing what they have to say. The results of this small-scale evaluation project have clear implications for future research and, potentially, for policy and practice.

"人文奥运"思想的历史追溯及影响

通过文献资料、专家访谈和综合分析等方法从人文的视角审视奥林匹克运动历史的发展，认为“人文奥运”拓展了蕴含在奥林匹克运动中人文思想的适用范围，从现代社会更广阔的层面上提出了人文的问题。“人文奥运”的思想突破了奥林匹克运动人文理念的适用范围，在人文内涵上有所丰富的创造和发展。奥林匹克运动虽然从一开始就包含着人文思想，然而自觉地从人文的视角审视奥林匹克运动的发展，当属中国2008年北京奥运。“人文奥运”的提出既涉及体育伦理的思想理念，也涉及经济全球化中的文化问题。这对于奥林匹克精神的弘扬、东西方文化的交流与结合和建设奥林匹克运动跨文化、跨民族、跨国度的世界性文化体系，都是具有重要历史意义的。
