Book Social Programmes  Poverty Eradication and Labour Inclusion

Download or read book Social Programmes Poverty Eradication and Labour Inclusion written by Laís Wendel Abramo and published by UN. This book was released on 2019 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diverse social programmes --including conditional cash transfer programmes, labour and production inclusion programmes and social pensions--are being implemented in Latin American and Caribbean countries with the aim of ending poverty and reducing inequalities throughout the life cycle. This book offers an up-to-date analysis of these programmes and the way they relate to labour inclusion, and analyses ongoing debates regarding the possible incentives and disincentives they create in terms of the labour supply, formalization and child labour among the target population. Considering that poverty is a structural problem of highly unequal societies, the thesis that poverty is due to a lack of effort on the part of the poor is argued to be an expression of the strong prejudice against those living in poverty, the great majority of whom work or are actively seeking employment, but are hampered by the large decent work deficits existing in the region. From an integrated and rights-based perspective, public policies should simultaneously address the twofold challenge of social and labour inclusion in order to achieve basic thresholds of well-being by ensuring income, universal access to good-quality social services and opportunities for decent work.

Book La construcci  n social de las trayectorias laborales de j  venes

Download or read book La construcci n social de las trayectorias laborales de j venes written by and published by Teseo. This book was released on 2010 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lejos están los tiempos en que el tránsito de la educación al trabajo era un paso sin mayores incertidumbres. Hoy las trayectorias iniciales de inserción laboral de los jóvenes se caracterizan por entradas y salidas del empleo, múltiples exploraciones, en condiciones más deterioradas que las de los adultos. Entre las razones de esta gran transformación en los procesos de transición laboral están tanto los cambios en los modelos de acumulación y las dificultades en particular para crear empleos de calidad, como el debilitamiento de las instituciones y la irrupción de nuevas subjetividades en torno al empleo. Obviamente, no todos los jóvenes tienen márgenes de acción para "experimentar" en la construcción de una trayectoria laboral acumulativa. Los jóvenes de menores recursos no cuentan con un capital socio-educativo que pueda acercarlos a alguno de los insuficientes buenos empleos. ¿Qué respuestas se dan desde las políticas públicas y desde las instituciones educativas y formativas a estas diferencias de oportunidades? ¿Cuáles son sus límites y alcances? ¿Cómo se construyen socialmente nuevas subjetividades a partir del vínculo con las instituciones (escuelas, centros de formación profesional, empresas) que intervienen en las transiciones laborales? Éstos son algunos de los interrogantes a los que se busca dar respuesta a través de las investigaciones presentadas en este libro.

Book The Third Wave of Democratization in Latin America

Download or read book The Third Wave of Democratization in Latin America written by Frances Hagopian and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-06-06 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late twentieth century witnessed the birth of an impressive number of new democracies in Latin America. This wave of democratization since 1978 has been by far the broadest and most durable in the history of Latin America, but many of the resulting democratic regimes also suffer from profound deficiencies. What caused democratic regimes to emerge and survive? What are their main achievements and shortcomings? This volume offers an ambitious and comprehensive overview of the unprecedented advances as well as the setbacks in the post-1978 wave of democratization. It seeks to explain the sea change from a region dominated by authoritarian regimes to one in which openly authoritarian regimes are the rare exception, and it analyzes why some countries have achieved striking gains in democratization while others have experienced erosions. The book presents general theoretical arguments about what causes and sustains democracy and analyses of nine compelling country cases.
