Policy Implications. One of the key results of the survey, which reinforces results of the qualitative analysis of CHIEF and with a strong burden in terms of implications for cultural, educational and youth policies, is the finding that cultural practices are positively related to more inclusive attitudes, intercultural dialogue and European values. Although we cannot claim causal relations this could indicate , that the promotion of culture among young people in all areas, beyond its intrinsic value could be important in fostering more open and inclusive societies. If the perspective of schools is taken into account, one of the implications is that the education system and institutions can encourage many cultural activities among young people in a much more proactive way. It is noteworthy that in many cultural activities, schools perceive that they xxxxxx them than the education system itself. With regard to cultural policies, in addition to facilitating young people’s access to the consumption of diverse cultural content and experiences, young people must also be offered the opportunity to develop their capacity for expression and creativity. As mentioned in the recent qualitative study of the CONCA (2020), cultural policies must guarantee the right of young people to be part of their cultural life in the community, not only facilitate access to cultural consumption, but also their contribution. Therefore, the role of formal education, where all young people spend time, is crucial. It is also relevant, in this sense, to take into account the self-managed and informal practices of cultural groups and communities (CONCA, 2020), formed by groups of young people in which they can be given continuous hybridizations of role as creator, promoter, consumer, the producer. BCN’s urban dance communities, which have been studied in an ethnographic work by CHIEF, would be an example of this. As we have seen that the difficulties of access due to external barriers (difficulty in getting there, not knowing how to access them, the economic cost, or health / accessibility difficulties) are more relevant in the case of attending shows, performing arts and, secondly, when visiting a monument or a historical site. Therefore, we can deduce a combination of reasons and, for some activities, a greater weight of external elements than individual ones, which implies more capacity of cultural policies to reduce difficulties to access. In addition, although there exists an impact of individual motivat...
Policy Implications. This analysis indicates that as the number of living children increases, the likelihood of approval of family planning and discussion of family planning issues by both partners increases. In sub-Saharan Africa, communication between husband and wife about family planning issues when they have a “large family” is an indication of latent demand for fertility control. A couple’s communication about family planning and their reproductive goals allow partners to plan whether and when to have children and how many to have. In addition, it leads to the adoption of contraceptive methods, and the continued use of the methods chosen. Men’s involvement in family planning decisions is crucial if couples are to achieve their joint fertility desires. Governments and donors should promote the expansion of community outreach programs that focus on family planning education, particularly those emphasizing the programmatic impact of spousal communication. Given the generally high level of approval of family planning and the low level of spousal communication, family planning programs need to implement better ways of reaching couples and community leaders, to encourage discussion between spouses on family planning and reproductive goals. Many factors constrain the use of family planning in sub-Saharan Africa. For example, couples may not know about contraception or the types of contraceptive methods available; cultural values may support high fertility and thus discouraging use of contraception; a woman’s low status relative to her husband/partner may limit her ability to use family planning services; women may lack access to choices regarding contraceptive methods; and women may have misinformation about the effectiveness of contraceptive methods and their side effects. Family planning programs should provide information to address such constraints, to encourage spousal communication about contraception, and to help couples recognize their contraceptive needs and fertility desires. In communities where polygyny is widely practiced, men’s roles present a challenge to family planning and reproductive health programs. In such societies, the man is often involved in decisionmaking with different, often conflicting, implications for each of his wives or partners. Programs that aim to encourage communication between spouses must consider the challenges that a polygynous relationship presents. Furthermore, to better understand contraceptive use dynamics in a polygynous union, the ...

Policy Implications. The policy implications from the analysis for Greece reveal that a DSO-type model needs to be employed early in the 2021-2030 period which is then replaced by a private model for charging infrastructure with the help of subsidies in the midterm. DSO deployment is based on public funds which we acknowledge to be one form of governmental support to developing the recharging infrastructure. Another form of governmental support, which we consider in this paper, refers to subsidization of private investors in entering the market. Price subsidization of the charging points deployed by private investors, is necessary during a transition period from a DSO to a complete private business model. The transition period for Greece is found to take place around 2025. Providing higher subsidies to the private investors can accelerate the transition to private business model in Greece. A third form of governmental support is assuming regulated tariffs which allow private investors to sufficiently recover the initial investment. In such cases, private investors find the recharging business more attractive and secure and engage already from the earlier years of the 2020-2030 decade. We find that such development leads to an earlier accumulation of a xxxxxxxx xxxx of charging points which quickly mitigates the consumers’ range anxiety. The analysis finds that the private model is deployed without the need for further policy help, when approaching 2030, leading to the successful rollout of EVs. The main reason for this outcome is that a xxxxxxxx xxxx of charging points and EVs has been developed at that point in time, which implies ensured utilization of the infrastructure and diminishing range anxiety. We postulate that the complete transition to the private business model basically indicates that the “chicken-egg” situation is resolved. Without a doubt, the evolution of framework conditions such as the reductions in the costs of EVs and the charging points can have a noticeable effect in the transition from public to private business models. Lower infrastructure costs result in earlier participation of private investors, increased profitability of charging businesses and less need for subsidization. Similarly, lower EV purchasing costs result in stronger EV penetration, which affects infrastructure deployment in a feedback relationship. The key policy suggestion is that the infrastructure should be deployed publicly in the first years of the upcoming decade, to ensure the pe...
Policy Implications. Furthermore, from a policy perspective, SOCOM can ensure the continuity and expansion of the Xxxxxxx Accords for the betterment of peace in the MENA region. Specifically, they can ensure durability by incentivizing member accountability to Israeli defense needs. Additionally, SOCOM can support the move from counterterrorism to near peer focus by providing a bridge for trust between Arab states and Israel (i.e. intel on terror financing from Iran). Establishing interagency collaboration with the US Department of State to inform on regional intel, guiding their decisions on future engagements and diplomatic efforts will also be a key policy moving forward. We recommend SOCOM facilitate proper deployment of military assets, in particular 22 Xxxxxx Xxxx, “UAE Reduces Contact with Israel in Election Now.” Financial Times.

Policy Implications. These findings offer several implications for policy and practice, some of which mirror implications arising in a companion report (Xxxxx et al., 2022). An overarching theme is the importance of how parents navigate the issues of shared expenses, including how this is enmeshed in underlying patterns of communication, differences in priorities and expectations, and overall quality of co-parenting relationships. Given the continuing trends toward shared placement—indeed, this is now the most common arrangement in Wisconsin following divorce, and is growing among non-marital cases as well—ensuring there are appropriate supports to help parents navigate expense sharing in practice seems critical. Potential supports could involve front-end help, whether through mediation or other approaches, to ensure cost-sharing arrangements are crafted in ways that are likely to work for parents while being fair to all parties. Supports could also involve ongoing, accessible help in navigating disagreements about appropriate expenses that may emerge over time—though this is obviously a somewhat charged area that may or may not lend itself readily to simple remedies. Finding ways for child support agencies to support these challenges seems in keeping with evolving efforts on the part of CSAs to elevate family-supporting services in addition to more traditional collections-focused activities. Findings also suggest that CSAs and courts could benefit from additional ways of monitoring and enforcing cost-sharing obligations. This is, of course, a difficult needle to thread. Many mothers emphasized they manage cost-sharing well on their own and, for many families, adding layers of monitoring and enforcement would be unwelcome and unneeded intrusions into arrangements that already work well. At the same time, our results also offer evidence that for some families, cost-sharing—at least from mothers’ vantage point—does not proceed as it is supposed to. Since cost-sharing is among the most substantive ways parents support their children in the context of shared placement, exploring appropriate mechanisms to ensure this happens as intended may be warranted, just as concerted attention to formal compliance led to improvements in that regard. Finding streamlined ways for the system to address this, such as through accessible mediation as well as better and more proactive information on how parents can seek help with conflict resolution, seems a fruitful direction to explore. Likewise, e...
