In the field of Health Education, understanding human development is essential, taking into account a set of actions that can promote the protection and care to a better child development, so we researched about the evolution in epidemiological indicators related to child development, through literature review and systematic data collected on public system, in Rio Grande do Sul, a state in south Brazil. For this, we do a review that brought together elements of updated on epidemiological and social indicators: changes in the understanding of the processes health and disease, various public health policies that influence personal and social behaviors, especially for parents and caregivers of children. The findings allow seeing that data about child with low birth weight are inversely proportional to the number of years of parents study, mainly from 8 years of schooling; that actions of Health Education can be aimed at doctors, caregivers and pregnant; and that reference systems ensure correct referrals. As ultimate implications, we suggest public policies that enable reduce neonatal mortality by investing in access more the formal Education, encouraging at least the completion of elementary education. We can also encourage medical continuing processes that can observe continually the data that are contained in several public data systems.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...
