This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La conciliación de la vida laboral y familiar constituye uno de los ejes esenciales del derecho a la igualdad y no discriminación por razón de sexo en asuntos de empleo y ocupación. Las actuaciones políticas y legislativas llevadas a cabo en las últimas décadas se han centrado en proporcionar a las personas trabajadoras mecanismos para resolver el conflicto entre la actividad laboral y las responsabilidades familiares, bien mediante derechos de ausencia, en una primera etapa, bien mediante derechos de presencia que operan sobre la distribución de la jornada de trabajo, más recientemente. Pese a los esfuerzos y avances innegables, la conciliación de la vida laboral y familiar continúa siendo un aspecto especialmente delicado en la carrera de las mujeres, a quienes la sociedad sigue vinculando en mayor medida con el cuidado de la familia. Además, la disolución del espacio y el tiempo de trabajo propiciada por las nuevas tecnologías o por la extensión del trabajo a distancia amenaza muchas de las conquistas conseguidas. Por estas razones urge incorporar la corresponsabilidad definitivamente a los instrumentos jurídicos ideados en pro de la conciliación. Se trata de concebir la igualdad dentro y fuera del hogar hasta sus últimas consecuencias. No obstante, es el principio gender mainstreaming el que debe presidir las nuevas medidas legislativas, así como la interpretación judicial y los instrumentos fruto de la autonomía colectiva que rigen la cotidianeidad de las relaciones laborales. Asimismo, es necesario un nuevo enfoque que ponga en valor los trabajos de cuidado y visibilice su importancia y repercusión para la propia sociedad. Persistir en la ignorancia de estos trabajos y feminizarlos contribuye a ensanchar la brecha sobre el derecho a la igualdad y a la no discriminación, como ha quedado patente en la reciente crisis sanitaria y sus consecuencias. La presente obra analiza todas estas cuestiones desde la convicción de que la igualdad no exige una mera equiparación formal entre las personas de distinto sexo, sino la auténtica garantía de poder ejercer los mismos derechos con idéntica intensidad.

Download or read book Urban Acupuncture written by Jaime Lerner and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2014-09-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his three terms as mayor of Curitiba, Brazil in the 1970s and ‘80s, architect and urbanist Jaime Lerner transformed his city into a global model of the sustainable and livable community. From the pioneering Bus Rapid Transit system to parks designed to catch runoff and reduce flooding, and the creation of pedestrian-only zones, Lerner has been the driving force behind a host of innovative urban projects. In more than forty years of work in cities around the globe, Lerner has found that changes to a community don’t need to be large-scale and expensive to have a transformative impact—in fact, one block, park, or a single person can have an outsized effect on life in the surrounding city. In Urban Acupuncture, Lerner celebrates these “pinpricks” of urbanism—projects, people, and initiatives from around the world that ripple through their communities to uplift city life. With meditative and descriptive prose, Lerner brings readers around the world to streets and neighborhoods where urban acupuncture has been practiced best, from the bustling La Boqueria market in Barcelona to the revitalization of the Cheonggyecheon River in Seoul, South Korea. Through this journey, Lerner invites us to re-examine the true building blocks of vibrant communities—the tree-lined avenues, night vendors, and songs and traditions that connect us to our cities and to one another. Urban Acupuncture is the first of Jaime Lerner’s visionary work to be published in English. It is a love letter to the elements that make a street hum with life or a neighborhood feel like home, penned by one of the world’s most successful advocates for sustainable and livable urbanism.

Download or read book Decent Working Time written by International Labour Office and published by International Labour Organization. This book was released on 2006 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Including international comparative analysis alongside national case studies, this volume offers a wealth of information on the new trends which have emerged over the past decades - all of which were discussed at the recent 9th International Symposium on Working Time, Paris (2004). It looks at the increasing use of results-based employment relationships for managers and professionals, and the increasing fragmentation of time to more closely tailor staffing needs to customer requirements (e.g., short-hours, part-time work). Moreover, as operating/opening hours rapidly expand toward a 24-hour and 7-day economy, the book considers how this has resulted in a growing diversification, decentralization, and individualization of working hours, as well as an increasing tension between enterprises' business requirements and workers' needs and preferences regarding their hours. This new reality has raised some other challenging issues as well and the volume addresses those such as increasing employment insecurity and instability, time-related social inequalities, particularly in relation to gender, workers' ability to balance their paid work with their personal lives, and even the synchronization of working hours with social times, such as community activities.
Download or read book Care for Sale written by Ana P. Gutierrez Garza and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In homes and brothels around the world, migrant women are selling a unique commodity: care. Care for Sale is an in-depth ethnography of a group of middle-class women from Latin America who exchange care and intimacy for money while working as domestic and sex workers in London. Illuminating the complexities of care work, the book offers a detailed study of women's lives and working conditions. It considers how their experience of migration and intimate labor is one of rupture that both enables and forces them to gradually reconstitute themselves, in their host cities, as people quite distinct from their normal selves back home. Care for Sale illustrates the connections and the factors that contribute to migrant women choosing either domestic or sex work, including their concerns about money and morality. It moves away from a narrow focus on migration and labor to focus instead on the creation and (re)creation of persons; and on the ways in which people fashion themselves and cultivate difference, inequality, or commonality as part of their self-making projects. By doing this, the book shows migrants not only as economic actors, but also as individuals involved in an intimate process that constantly modifies their sense of morality and personhood. Care for Sale is a volume in the series ISSUES OF GLOBALIZATION: CASE STUDIES IN CONTEMPORARY ANTHROPOLOGY, which examines the experiences of individual communities in our contemporary world. Each volume offers a brief and engaging exploration of a particular issue arising from globalization and its cultural, political, and economic effects on certain peoples or groups.

Download or read book Trade and Employment written by Marion Jansen and published by International Labor Office. This book was released on 2011 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An International Labor Office and European Commission publication Although the effect of trade on employment is a popular point of economic debate, there are very few factual assessments available. This book examines the most recent evidence and provides guidance for the design of tools to assess more accurately the employment impacts of trade. Trade and Employment argues for strengthening the micro-foundations of models used to evaluate the employment effects of trade and for including the informal economy and adjustment processes in modeling efforts. It emphasizes the role of governments in helping firms survive or grow, in providing social protection to protect against external shocks, in addressing gender equity, and in building physical infrastructure and human skills bases that facilitate export diversification. It is a valuable resource for all those interested in the debate on the employment effects of trade: workers and employers, academics and policymakers, and trade and labor specialists.

Download or read book The UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules written by David D. Caron and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 1134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reaching past the secrecy so often met in arbitration, the second edition of this commentary explains clearly and fully the workings of the UNCITRAL Rules of Arbitral Procedure recommended for use in 1976 by the United Nations. This new edition fully takes account of the revised Rules adopted in 2010 while maintaining coverage of the original Rules where these remain relevant. The differences between the old and the new Rules are clearly indicated and explained. Pulling together difficult to obtain sources from the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal, arbitrations under Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement, and ad hoc arbitrations, it illuminates the shape the UNCITRAL Rules take in practice. The authors cogently critique that practice in the light of the negotiating history of the rules and solutions adopted by the other major private rules of arbitral procedure. To aid the specialist in the field, the practice of these various tribunals is extensively extracted and reproduced. Rich both in its analysis and sources, this text is indispensable for those working in or studying international arbitration.
