Policy Implications. Since the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo, the inclusion of men has become a major focus of reproductive health programs (United Nations, 1995; United Nations, 1997). To promote male involvement in shaping reproductive preferences, it is important to take into consideration the norms of society including social norms on reproductive preferences, gender inequality, and the role of men in the society. The reproductive behavior of couples is particularly useful in developing a critical understanding of these factors. The findings of this study indicate that when there is no agreement on reproductive preferences between partners, men’s reproductive goals are generally higher than those of their wives. When both spouses agree on the same ideal number of children, the mean ideal number of children desired is smaller than the ideal number of children desired by either spouse separately. In other words, the individual reproductive goals of the husband or the wife are not always synchronized with joint goals (cf. Table 4.4). Joint goals can be achieved when both partners are able to discuss their reproductive desires and goals and how to achieve them. Toward this end, efforts are needed to expand family planning outreach education that focuses on men and their role in fertility decisions. In communities where polygyny is widely practiced, men’s roles present a challenge for 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/partners. Programs that aim to encourage interspousal communication may want to consider alternative approaches to the standard family planning program, so that programs adapted to the needs of polygynous households can be implemented.

Policy Implications. This includes an interpretation of the conclusions; the impact of the Demonstration within the health delivery system in the State; the implications for State and Federal health policy; and the potential for successful Demonstration strategies to be replicated in other State Medicaid programs.
Policy Implications. 1. A more integrated approach to policy-making is needed, to ensure more consistent mainstreaming of the just transition dimension into the legislation implementing the EGD, particularly in those macro-areas where implementation is lagging behind and the just transition perspective appears less developed.

Policy Implications. Despite the proven benefit of being physical active throughout the day, the educational system in China hampers students‟ abilities to do so. Providing a good education is especially valued in Chinese society [71]. Youth in China are under great pressure to perform well in school, and heavy homework loads are typical [72]. A university education is seen as the only path to a quality career, and the pressure to succeed scholastically begins early since university entrance is restricted [72].
Policy Implications. 11. It is important to reflect on how to better combine green transition objectives with the principles of the European Pillar of Social Rights. The forthcoming Commission review of the EPSR Action Plan (foreseen in 2025) should pay particular attention to the socio-ecological dimension. A ‘revamped’ Action Plan should fully include measures listed in the 2022 Council Recommendation on ensuring a fair transition towards climate neutrality, but it should also explore the possibility of implementing eco- social policies which are more innovative and integrated from a sustainable welfare perspective. Examples of the latter include universal basic services, working time reduction, and less growth-reliant ways of financing welfare policies.
Policy Implications. 16. This development will contribute a significant capital receipt towards the Council’s capital programme which will be used in line with Council priorities. Consultation
Policy Implications. 35. The council made a decision to hand over its portfolio of commercial waste collection contracts to Veolia when the waste PFI contract commenced in 2008. Since that time the council has not pro-actively operated commercial waste collection services. In case a direct request for a commercial waste collection service is received by the council, there are fall-back arrangements for Veolia to set up collection services under the waste PFI contract if absolutely necessary – a limited number of collections are made under these arrangements but only in the form of sack collections.
Policy Implications. 4. It is important to work on developing more integrated socio-ecological indicators and to explore ways to include them in EU policy-making, either through the creation of an EU Just Transition Scoreboard or by integrating them into existing scoreboards, such as the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR) Social Scoreboard.
Policy Implications. 4.1 NHS Merseyside has agreed that in order to ensure a seamless transition of the Public Health Functions to the Council on the 1st April 2013 and to encourage early engagement and integration with all key stakeholders, that the Council shall manage and supervise the Public Health Functions during the Transitional Period.
