Impact Solutions & Key Impact Areas
Socio-Economic Factors That Drive The News
Oxford Languages on Google defines an economy as “the wealth and resources of a country or region, especially in terms of the production, consumption and management of goods and services.” According to the article titled “Socioeconomic Indicators That Matter for Population Health“, the socioeconomic composition of a community is a crucial aspect of how context can shape individual health behaviors, exposures, and outcomes. Levels of education, employment, income, and income security in a community create and shape risks and benefits for health, many of which accumulate over the life course.Â
Characteristics of a socioeconomic environment can be measured subjectively via individual self-reports, or objectively via direct observation or secondary data sources such as the census, administrative databases (eg, for crime, housing, education), or population-based surveys (2). Many of the indicators that researchers have considered in studies of socioeconomic environment and health have been included in individual community projects that attempt to define quality of life or community well-being in a particular area (2,15). In addition, many cities produce report cards or other documents that present metrics regarding the quality of life.
We applied this same logic while designing Community On Demandâ„¢ and the JEM-TV News Channel. The  Community On Demandâ„¢ card deck includes six (6) socio-economic condition cards that represent the impact areas learners can assess during the five phases of The STEAM Investigative Process. We wanted Community On Demandâ„¢ to help learners see the big picture of their role in their communities by correlating the economic connections of the game with real-life. Â
The basic tenets of the Community On Demand™ card game rests on the fact that whenever a learner uses a skill to create an impact solution or address, reduce and/or eliminate the cause of a negative impact, the contribution value of the skills they used adds value to society at large. This, in turn, increases the wealth of their communities as well as their knowledge, capabilities, interests and efforts to control the impact of the socio-economic conditions surrounding them.
Learners are encouraged to use digital media technologies to capture how they are using their high-demand STEAM Skills to complete each phase. This content can be submitted to JEM-TV News for distribution and as proof of work.
