New treatments have raised the life expectancy for people with HIV/AIDS. But is their health progress matched on the socio-economic level? Our new paper examines the job prospects of HIV/AIDS patients in Spain. We found that people with HIV and some outward symptoms are 22% less likely to be in work, rising to over 40% for those with AIDS. Average wages are also affected – dropping in some cases to under a third of their ‘healthy’ counterparts. Watch our interview with co-author José Labeaga Azcona and check the working paper below. |

Where the minerals were mined that power your mobile phone? How many hours a child in a developing country worked to assemble it? And how much fossil fuel was burned to bring it to your store? PhD fellow Carlos Cadena Gaitán investigates the effects of consumerism in our latest blog. |

Posted: 2012-04-25 | Updated: 2012-05-10
In December 2011 we won a €10,000 grant to develop a blog on digital research methods. It was launched in April 2012 with the name: ‘Support & Help for Academic REsearchers by using Information Technology’ (SHARE-IT). Our blog provides short, accessible and critical discussions of online tools and workarounds: from the use of online forums to reference managers to keeping track of current developments online. We also welcome contributions from working researchers. |
