"Seit dem starken Fertilitätsrückgang Ende der 1960er Jahre zählt Deutschland zu den Ländern mit der niedrigsten Geburtenziffer in Europa. Die niedrigen Geburtenraten stehen scheinbar im Widerspruch zu dem hohen Stellenwert, den die Familie bei jungen Menschen immer noch genießt und auch zu der gewünschten Kinderzahl, wie sie in verschiedenen Studien ermittelt wurde. Mittels Daten einer Längsschnittstudie vergleicht dieser Beitrag anhand einer Eheschließungskohorte von 1988/89 aus den alten Bundesländern den ursprünglichen Kinderwunsch zu Ehebeginn und die erreichte Kinderzahl nach 15 Jahren Ehe."

This brief explores the following root causes of the gaps in postsecondary outcomes for deaf people. (a) Limited Access to Language and Communication: Deaf individuals of all ages experience limited access to language and communication in the home, at school, in the community, and in the workplace. (b) Reduced Social Opportunities: Many deaf individuals face barriers to communication at home and at school. This reduced access to a rich social environment has an impact on opportunities to build networks critical for future success. (c) Negative Attitudes and Biases: High expectations are critical to the support of successful postsecondary outcomes for deaf individuals. Negative attitudes and "the tyranny of low expectations" serve as a persistent barrier to post school success. (d) Lack of Qualified and Experienced Professionals: Experienced professionals who understand the range of communication preferences, disabilities, family contexts, educational experiences, and so forth are critical components of effective interventions and support. ; This document was developed under a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, OSEP #HD326D160001.

Outcome-based evaluation is increasingly used for digital library projects. The point of outcome-based evaluation is to establish a project's effectiveness with its target audience. Although many small-scale human-oriented project outcomes do not readily lend themselves to survey or statistical analysis, other research methods can be used to evaluate the amount and quality of a project's effect. Anthropology offers not only a suite of observational methods, but standards for persuasiveness that apply equally to academics and to legislators. ; Peer Reviewed

Exploitation is interacting with another in a way that takes unfair advantage of that person. Exploitation is thought to be morally wrong even when it would bring about the best attainable outcome, hence conflicts with the consequentialist morality that holds one ought always to do whatever would bring about the best outcome. This essay aims to reconcile norms against exploitation and act consequentialism. A puzzle about exploitation is raised and resolved.
