The Economic Hardship Index (EHI) provides a comprehensive measure of economic conditions using six socioeconomic indicators from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) data, including dependency, education, unemployment, income level, crowded housing, and poverty.Dependency: the percentage of the population that are under the age of 18 or over the age of 64Education: the percentage of the population over age 25 who have less than a high school educationUnemployment: the percentage of the civilian population over the age of 16 who were unemployedIncome Level: Median earning for the populations age 16 years and older with earnings (dollars)Crowded Housing: the percentage of occupied housing units with more than one person per roomPoverty: the percent of people living below the federal poverty levelAcross the state of Florida, census tract level estimates of these six indicators were normalized to give them equal weight when combined into a composite index. The index scores represent the normalized sum of the six indicators and range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating worse economic conditions.More detail about the methodology used to create the Economic Hardship Index can be found in the document here.

While political leaders’ role in foreign policy choices has received increasing scholarly attention, surprisingly less is known about how they affect the allocation and distribution of official development aid. This study examines how the material background of political leaders influence their aid allocation strategies in donor countries. We contend that leaders with economic hardship experience distribute more foreign aid than those without such experience. Through socialization, leaders with economic hardship experience become more supportive of public good provisions that address problems related to poverty and inequality. Resultantly, they exhibit more favorable attitudes toward development assistance programs targeting developing countries. We find that political leaders who experienced economic difficulty in their youth are likely to provide more foreign aid, especially social and economic infrastructure aid, than leaders without such experience. By introducing the political leaders’ role, this study contributes to the literature on the interaction between domestic politics and foreign aid.

In 2024, the gross domestic product (GDP) of the United Kingdom grew by 0.9 percent and is expected to grow by just one percent in 2025 and by 1.9 percent in 2026. Growth is expected to slow down to 1.8 percent in 2027, and then grow by 1.7, and 1.8 percent in 2027 and 2028 respectively. The sudden emergence of COVID-19 in 2020 and subsequent closure of large parts of the economy were the cause of the huge 9.4 percent contraction in 2020, with the economy recovering somewhat in 2021, when the economy grew by 7.6 percent. UK growth downgraded in 2025 Although the economy is still expected to grow in 2025, the one percent growth anticipated in this forecast has been halved from two percent in October 2024. Increased geopolitical uncertainty as well as the impact of American tariffs on the global economy are some of the main reasons for this mark down. The UK's inflation rate for 2025 has also been revised, with an annual rate of 3.2 percent predicated, up from 2.6 percent in the last forecast. Unemployment is also anticipated to be higher than initially thought, with the annual unemployment rate likely to be 4.5 percent instead of 4.1 percent. Long-term growth problems In the last two quarters of 2023, the UK economy shrank by 0.1 percent in Q3 and by 0.3 percent in Q4, plunging the UK into recession for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic. Even before that last recession, however, the UK economy has been struggling with weak growth. Although growth since the pandemic has been noticeably sluggish, there has been a clear long-term trend of declining growth rates. The economy has consistently been seen as one of the most important issues to people in Britain, ahead of health, immigration and the environment. Achieving strong levels of economic growth is one of the main aims of the Labour government elected in 2024, although after almost one year in power it has so far proven elusive.

Immigration was seen as the most important issue facing Germany in November 2025, selected by 24 percent of people as a problem that month. The Economy was seen by 22 percent of people in Germany as a major issue, and was the second most-common response in the most recent survey. Pensions emerged as the third-most important issues in the most recent poll, ahead of a potentially close vote on pension reform in the Bundestag in December. Germany's economic struggles Once the economic powerhouse of Europe, the Germany economy has been struggling for several years, and even shrank in 2023 and 2024. In part, this is due to external factors, such as the War in Ukraine putting an end to Germany's supply of cheap Russian gas, and a more protectionist global trade environment harming Germany's export-driven businesses. On the other hand, there has been a chronic lack of investment in the country, in part due to fiscal restraints built into the German constitution. Collapse of the traffic light coalition The issue of removing these fiscal restraints, in particular the "debt-brake", was the eventual reason that brought down the government of Olaf Scholz in late 2024. In power since the 2021 election, Scholz's government consisted of three political parties, Scholz's own SPD, the German Greens, and the pro-businesses FDP. The contradictions inherent in a three-party coalition eventually rose to the surface in late 2024, when the FDP leadership split with the government over economic policy, causing the collapse of the government. All three parties saw their vote share decline considerably, in the subsequent election in February 2025, with the FDP unable to clear the five percent threshold required to win seats in parliament.

BackgroundFinancial hardship is common after a cancer diagnosis. Current financial hardship measures have advanced the field, but assessing the dimensions of financial hardship remains challenging. We created item banks to assess four financial hardship dimensions using item response theory (IRT). IRT-based item banks can be tailored to each context and used in computerized adaptive testing (CAT) to reduce participant burden.MethodsCancer survivors (n = 459) were recruited from a survivorship program and online survey panel to complete an online or paper survey. Four item banks were developed based on previous studies, expert feedback, and patient interviews: financial coping: 41 items, financial consequences: 21 items, financial depression: 15 items, and financial worry: 21 items. We used the two-parameter logistic and graded response models for analysis.ResultsThe IRT model fit well for all four item banks: financial coping root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.06, financial consequences RMSEA = 0.03; financial depression RMSEA = 0.05; and financial worry RMSEA = 0.03. The accuracy parameters ranged from 1.01 to 6.53, indicating good reliability for each item. The severity parameters showed each item bank assessed financial hardship across two to three standard deviations, supporting content validity. Short forms were developed for financial consequences, depression, and worry.ConclusionThe item banks can be used to create brief screening measures and, using CAT, efficiently screen for each dimension of financial hardship while minimizing burden. Future research is required to assess the clinical utility of using the item banks to screen for financial hardship.

In 2019, Venezuela’s estimated gross domestic product (GDP) per capita dropped to 2,624.41 U.S. dollars from 3,529.72 U.S. dollars the year before. the country's GDP has been on a continuous downswing for about a decade now - in 2010, it amounted to more than 11,000 U.S. dollars, and seemed to recover from a sudden slump again in 2016, before decreasing rapidly ever since. GDP per capita is a measurement of a country’s economic output that accounts for its number of people, thus making it a good measurement of a country’s standard of living. A time of economic hardships Currently, a major economic crisis is shaking Venezuela, resulting in hyperinflation, food and water shortages, and unemployment. Venezuela’s inflation rate has skyrocketed to over 900,000 percent in 2018, and the economy is suffering, with the Venezuelan GDP growth decreasing substantially each year since 2014. A population affected by instability In response to the economic and political climate, many are leaving the country for places such as Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador, with hopes for more stability and better economic prospects. Due in part to this, Venezuela’s population growth has decreased consistently over the last five years: In 2019, the country’s population was around 28 million inhabitants - a figure that is estimated to decrease further in the future.

Replication files for "Elite Cues and Economic Policy Attitudes: The Mediating Role of Economic Hardship" (Political Bahevior). The files include code and data to replicate all empirical results (tables and figures) presented in the main manuscript as well as the online appendix of the paper. Abstract: Do voters update their attitudes toward economic issues in line with their material self-interest? The consensus among students of public opinion is that material self-interest plays a very limited role and that competing non-material factors, such as partisanship or ideological predispositions, do most of the heavy lifting. This paper moves beyond comparing the role of material and non-material factors. Instead, we examine how these factors \textit{combine} to shape policy preferences. Specifically, we propose a friendly amendment to Zaller's influential model according to which attitudinal change results from the interaction between changes in elite messaging on the one hand and individual political predispositions on the other. In Zaller's model, partisanship and ideological predispositions help explain why some resist and others embrace new elite messaging. We hypothesize that material self-interest also conditions the effect of elite messaging. Using British individual-level panel data collected over more than a decade, we show that material hardship predicts who, among left-wing voters, resist new right-wing partisan cues. Our results highlights the incremental impact of material self-interest on economic attitudes.
