"Collateral Damage" shows how globalization is affecting health — often in unanticipated ways. "Not Just a Paycheck" takes a look at how job insecurity and unemployment affect health.
"Collateral Damage" -- Mainlanders view the Pacific Islands as a
paradise. But diabetes, cardiovascular and kidney diseases and
tuberculosis are taking a toll on the Pacific Islander population.
In the Marshall Islands and in the unlikely spot of Springdale,
Arkansas, this program shows how globalization is affecting health
- often in unanticipated ways.
"Not Just a Paycheck" -- How does job insecurity and unemployment
affect health? In rural western Michigan, residents struggle
against depression, domestic violence, heart disease and diabetes
when the largest refrigerator factory in the country shuts down.
Ironically, the plant is owned by a Swedish company. In Sweden,
shutdowns are relatively benign events and, for some people, even
create opportunities thanks to Swedish government policies.
