Download or read book Balancing Work and Family written by Abby Christina Lane and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the nature of work in the United States has shifted toward an economy that demands work outside of traditional hours, it is increasingly important to understand the implications of nonstandard work schedules for work-family balance. This dissertation focuses on the intersection of nonstandard and unpredictable work schedules of low-income parents, maternal well-being, and child care. In it, I aim to better understand the ways that nonstandard work schedules may affect maternal well-being and complicate child care decisions, with attention to both policy problems and solutions. In Chapter 1, I explore whether there is an association between nonstandard work schedules and maternal parenting stress using Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study data. Results do not suggest evidence of an association between work schedules and maternal parenting stress, evidence of variation by family characteristics of interest, or moderation by primary child care arrangement. In Chapter 2, I examine mothers' perspectives on the social, economic, and structural factors important in child-care decision making through in-depth interviews with low-income mothers working nonstandard schedules who have young children, including specific challenges and opportunities created by nonstandard work schedules related to child care. I find that mothers prioritize finding a caregiver they trust, cost, location, their work schedule, and a provider that offers opportunities for learning. Nonstandard work schedules add considerable challenges to the processes of finding, securing, and maintaining care for many mothers. A critical factor for mothers with irregular work schedules and mothers not living with a romantic partner was whether or not they had an extensive support system of family and friends able to help manage child care during nontraditional hours. Finally, Chapter 3 explores issues of the supply and demand of licensed, center-based child care at nontraditional times in Texas, focusing on the supply of care; mothers' preferences on center-based, nontraditional-hour care; and potential policy prescriptions. Findings suggest that the provision of extended nontraditional-hour care in a center-based setting is limited, although there is demand from mothers despite challenges finding such care. A range of potential policy options are discussed, including center- and employer-based policies
Download or read book Women s Work in the Unorganized Sector written by Rekha Pande and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book probes into the beedi industry, a highly gendered and class-divided unorganised sector in India. It introduces an analysis of the lives, health status and work of the Indian women and girl children in the industry and discusses the role of gender constructions, global capitalism, and global racism in shaping the ideologies and conceptions about men and women at work. The volume presents a gendered postcolonial perspective on women's employment in the context of social and economic processes that are critical to globalization. It focuses on Telangana's Nizamabad district - where a majority of the women population are employed in the beedi industry. Through detailed surveys and case studies, the author analyses different aspects of exploitation of these women such as poor working conditions, income inequalities, health risks and the realities of child labour in the process of beedi making. Richly detailed, this book will be of great interest to students, researchers and teachers of geography, particularly human geography and feminist geography, women and gender studies, feminism, labour economics, capitalism, development studies, political sociology, and cultural studies. It will also be of interest to gender and feminist geographers, occupational health professionals, NGOs, and those interested in the issues of gender and development.

Download or read book Economics of Child Labour written by Biswajit Chatterjee and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-31 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the effectiveness of trade and non-trade policies to combat the menace of child labour. Although it has decreased on the global scale in recent years, child labour still remains high, particularly in the developing countries. Keeping in mind the estimated extent of child labour in different regions around the globe, the book offers a detailed critical review of both theoretical and empirical literature on the topic as well as the policies to reduce the incidence of child labour. It also develops a general equilibrium model to demonstrate the possible effects of growth-promoting, non-trade policies, as opposed to direct trade policies, on child labour employment mitigation. The book argues that of the non-trade policies, the introduction of compulsory education appears to be an effective instrument for curtailing the child labour problem when families receive targeted subsidies for sending their children to school. It also shows that appropriately designed and targeted education subsidies can reduce the incidence of child labour and that social protection measures, such as subsidies on school enrolment, also tend to have a positive impact. The book not only opens up research topics for academicians but is also a valuable resource for policy makers.

Download or read book Women in India written by Sita Anantha Raman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-06-08 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are Indian women powerful mother goddesses, or domestic handmaidens trailing behind men in literacy, wages, opportunities, and rights? Have they been agents of their own destinies, or voiceless victims of patriarchy? Behind these colorful over-simplifications lies the reality of many feminine personas belonging to various classes, ethnicities, religions, and castes. This two-volume set looks at Indian history from ancient to modern times, revealing precisely why ideas of gender rights were not static across eras or regions. Raman's work is a reflection on the various ways in which women in a non-Western culture have developed and expressed their own feminist agenda. Are Indian women powerful mother goddesses, or domestic handmaidens trailing behind men in literacy, wages, opportunities, and rights? Have they been agents of their own destinies, or voiceless victims of patriarchy? Behind these coloful over-simplifications lies the reality of many feminine personas belonging to various classes, ethnicities, religions, and castes. This two-volume set looks at Indian history from ancient to modern times, revealing precisely why ideas of gender rights were not static across eras or regions. Raman's work is a reflection on the various ways in which women in a non-western culture have developed and expressed their own feminist agenda. Individual chapters highlight the enduring legacies of many important male and female figures, illustrating how each played a key role in modifying the substance of women's lives. Political movements are examined as well, such as the nationalist reform movement of 1947 in which the ideal of Indian womanhood became central to the nation and the push for independence. Also included is a survey of women in contemporary India and the role they played in the resurgence of militant Hindu nationalism. Aside from being an engaging and readable narrative of Indian history, this set integrates women's issues, roles, and achievements into the general study of the times, providing a clear presentation of the social, cultural, religious, political, and economic realities that have helped shape the identity of Indian women.
Download or read book A Roadmap to Reducing Child Poverty written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-09-16 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The strengths and abilities children develop from infancy through adolescence are crucial for their physical, emotional, and cognitive growth, which in turn help them to achieve success in school and to become responsible, economically self-sufficient, and healthy adults. Capable, responsible, and healthy adults are clearly the foundation of a well-functioning and prosperous society, yet America's future is not as secure as it could be because millions of American children live in families with incomes below the poverty line. A wealth of evidence suggests that a lack of adequate economic resources for families with children compromises these children's ability to grow and achieve adult success, hurting them and the broader society. A Roadmap to Reducing Child Poverty reviews the research on linkages between child poverty and child well-being, and analyzes the poverty-reducing effects of major assistance programs directed at children and families. This report also provides policy and program recommendations for reducing the number of children living in poverty in the United States by half within 10 years.
