Download or read book Social Inequities and Contemporary Struggles for Collective Health in Latin America written by Emily E Vasquez and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the legacy of the Latin American Social Medicine and Collective Health (LASM-CH) movements and other key approaches—including human rights activism and popular opposition to neoliberal governance—that have each distinguished the struggle for collective health in Latin America during the twentieth and now into the twnety-first century. At a time when global health has been pushed to adopt increasingly conservative agendas in the wake of global financial crisis and amidst the rise of radical-right populist politics, attention to the legacies of Latin America’s epistemological innovations and social movement action are especially warranted. This collection addresses three crosscutting themes: First, how LASM-CH perspectives have taken root as an element of international cooperation and solidarity in the health arena in the region and beyond, into the twenty-firstcentury. Second, how LASM-CH perspectives have been incorporated and restyled into major contemporary health system reforms in the region. Third, how elements of the LASM-CH legacy mark contemporary health social movements in the region, alongside additional key influences on collective action for health at present. Working at the nexus of activism, policy, and health equity, this multidisciplinary collection offers new perspective on struggles for justice in twenty-first-century Latin America. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal, Global Public Health.

This book was released on 2021-07-07 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reports on cutting-edge findings and developments in physical, social and occupational ergonomics. It covers a broad spectrum of studies and evaluation procedures concerning physical and mental workload, work posture and ergonomic risk. Further, it reports on significant advances in the design of services and systems, including those addressing special populations, for purposes such as health, safety and education, and discusses solutions for a better and safer integration of humans, automated systems and digital technologies. The book also analyzes the impact of culture on people’s cognition and behavior, providing readers with timely insights into theories on cross-cultural decision-making, and their diverse applications for a number of purposes in businesses and societies. Based on the AHFE 2021 conferences on Physical Ergonomics and Human Factors, Social & Occupational Ergonomics, and Cross-Cultural Decision Making, held virtually on 25–29 July, 2021, from USA, it provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the current challenges in physical, social and occupational ergonomics, including those imposed by technological developments, highlights key connections between them, and puts forward optimization strategies for sociotechnical systems, including their organizational structures, policies and processes.
Download or read book Faces of Precarity written by Joseph Choonara and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2022-08-08 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The words ‘precarity’ and ‘precariousness’ are widely used when discussing work, social conditions and experiences. However, there is no consensus on their meaning or how best to use them to explore social changes. This book shows how scholars have mapped out these notions, offering substantive analyses of issues such as the relationships between precariousness, debt, migration, health and workers’ mobilizations, and how these relationships have changed in the context of COVID-19. Bringing together an international group of authors from diverse fields, this book offers a distinctive critical perspective on the processes of precarization, focusing in particular on the European context. The Introduction, Chapters 3 and 8, and the Afterword are available Open Access via OAPEN under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.

Download or read book Violence and Abuse In and Around Organisations written by Ronald J. Burke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 761 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This international collection examines violence and abuse in and around organisations. The collection documents the causes, specifically from the perspective of human relations and of the workplace conditions. It also highlights the specific risks associated with high-risk professions or working environments. The first section considers types of violence and abuse, their relative frequencies, potential individual and workplace antecedents, costs to individuals, family’s organisations and societies, the fact both are increasing in frequency with new types (e.g., terrorism) appearing, and why addressing these has become increasingly important for individuals and organisations. The second section considers violence in interpersonal relationships such as bullying, incivility, bias and harassment, and toxic leadership. The third section examines unsafe workplaces, accidents, injuries, and deaths. The fourth section considers exploitive work conditions and arrangements such as precarious employment, the exploitation of immigrants, and human slavery. The final section offers suggestions on ways to address violence and abuse in and around organisations. These include aggression preventative supervisor behaviours in health care, suicide prevention in the workplace, dealing with disgruntled employees and former employees, and workplace interventions that address stress reduction more broadly. As with other titles in the Psychological and Behavioural Aspects of Risk Series, this research-based collection is firmly grounded in the boundary between work and society and offers important insights into how social and cultural problems are manifest in the workplace and how poor and abusive workplace practice, in turn, spills out into wider life.

Download or read book Benchmarking Working Europe 2012 written by European Trade Union Institute and published by ETUI. This book was released on 2012 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2001, the ETUC and ETUI have produced Benchmarking Working Europe for the European Social Summit to draw attention to the state of working Europe. This publication aims to provide a genuine benchmarking exercise applied to the world of labour and social affairs grounded in effective labour and social rights. It establishes what progress – or lack of it – has taken place in selected areas of significance for social Europe and of importance to the trade unions. This year’s edition of Benchmarking Working Europe focuses on what we see as one of the root causes of the great recession, namely the issue of inequalities going far beyond income inequality. Growing inequalities lead to growing feelings of injustice and lack of social cohesion both within and across countries, and at the same time, to a loss of human potential in its broadest sense. In this respect, this publication raises serious concerns as to the current direction of social and labour rights in the European Union. Four main messages which we would like to highlight are: 1. Social inequality, in its many forms, is worsening in nearly all EU countries, and not only on account of the succession of financial, economic and debt crises. 2. Between the EU member states, the trend for the poorer economies to catch up with the richer ones, leading to greater convergence has been halted and even reversed. 3. The European discourse that new post-crisis growth will solve the temporary phenomenon of rising inequalities is fundamentally flawed. The link between growth and equality has snapped and the tide is no longer rising for all. 4. The political remedies must in future focus on a redistribution and ‘deconcentration’ of wealth.
Download or read book Gender Inequalities in Occupational Health written by Javier Campos-Serna and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta tesis doctoral está basada en la identificación de las desigualdades de género en salud laboral descritas en la literatura científica, así como en el análisis de las desigualdades de género en la población ocupada en España y Europa, y como estas desigualdades se ven influenciadas por la clase social ocupacional, el sector de actividad de la empresa y el estado del bienestar. En primer lugar, se identificaron las desigualdades de género en la exposición a los riesgos laborales derivados de las condiciones de empleo y trabajo, así como de los problemas de salud derivados del trabajo a partir de una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica en distintas bases de datos. En segundo lugar, se analizaron 25 indicadores de desigualdades de género relacionados con las condiciones de empleo, trabajo, conciliación de la vida laboral y la familiar y con los problemas de salud derivados del trabajo. Para ello, se analizó la sexta edición de la Encuesta Nacional de Condiciones de Trabajo de 2007. Igualmente, se exploró como estos 25 indicadores variaban en función de la clase social ocupacional y el sector de actividad de la empresa. Finalmente, se analizó como la clase social ocupacional y el estado del bienestar podrían influir en las desigualdades de género en la exposición a los riesgos psicosociales derivados del trabajo. Para ello, se analizó la cuarta edición de la Encuesta Europea de Condiciones de Trabajo de 2005.

Download or read book De la oportunidad del empleo formal al riesgo de exclusi n laboral Desigualdades estructurales y din micas en los mercados latinoamericanos de trabajo written by Juan Pablo Pérez and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Partiendo de la distinción entre desigualdades estructurales o históricas, legado de la modernización pasada, y desigualdades dinámicas, resultado del riesgo inherente a la modernización globalizada, este texto busca aproximarse a los procesos generadores de desigualdad en el mercado de trabajo en América Latina. Ámbito que en nuestra región está marcado por transformaciones importantes, ya que el empleo formal está perdiendo su centralidad de antaño y predominan diversas tendencias de exclusión laboral (declive del empleo público, precarización de las relaciones salariales, desempleo estructural, migración internacional y persistencia de una economía de la pobreza). La hipótesis central que se plantea es que se está transitando de la oportunidad del empleo formal al riesgo de exclusión laboral. Esta transformación representa el proceso medular de generación actual de desigualdades en los mercados de trabajo en América Latina. En el presente, las dinámicas laborales, caracterizadas por la exclusión, dificultan materializar un arreglo social que logre hacer tolerables tanto las desigualdades estructurales como las desigualdades dinámicas que afectan todas las esferas ocupacionales.
Download or read book Trabajo y salud en Am rica Latina y el Caribe a trav s de las encuestas de condiciones de trabajo empleo y salud written by Pamela Alexandra Merino Salazar and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El objetivo de esta tesis fue analizar las encuestas de condiciones de trabajo, empleo y salud (ECTES) en América Latina, y elaborar una propuesta para mejorar su comparabilidad. Por un lado, se identificaron y examinaron las similitudes y diferencias en la metodología de las ECTES disponibles. Por otro lado, a través de un proceso de consenso, se desarrolló un cuestionario básico y unos criterios metodológicos para futuras ECTES en la región. Además, se analizaron los datos provenientes de estas encuestas en una muestra comparable de personas asalariadas no agrícolas con contrato escrito. Entre los resultados cabe destacar los siguientes: 1) las principales diferencias entre las ECTES son la población de referencia y el lugar de realización de la entrevista, 2) se identificaron algunos patrones de exposición a malas condiciones de empleo, trabajo y estado de salud de la población estudiada y 3) el consenso final incluyó un cuestionario sobre condiciones de trabajo, empleo y salud compuesto por 77 preguntas distribuidas en seis dimensiones; y unas recomendaciones metodológicas mínimas, como por ejemplo, realizar la entrevista en el domicilio de la persona en lugar de en el centro de trabajo. Estos resultados pueden contribuir a mejorar la calidad y comparabilidad de la información en salud laboral en la población trabajadora de América Latina y el Caribe.
Download or read book Globalization and Health Inequities in Latin America written by Ligia Malagón de Salazar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-16 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically analyses the influence of international policies and guidelines on the performance of interventions aimed at reducing health inequities in Latin America, with special emphasis on health promotion and health in all policies strategies. While the implementation of these interventions plays a key role in strengthening these countries’ capacity to respond to current and future challenges, the urgency and pressures of cooperation and funding agencies to show results consistent with their own agendas not only hampers this goal, but also makes the territory invisible, hiding the real problems faced by most Latin American countries, diminishing the richness of local knowledge production, and hindering the development of relevant proposals that consider the territory’s conditions and cultural identity. Departing from this general analysis, the authors search for answers to the following questions: Why, despite the importance of the theoretical advances r egarding actions to address social and health inequities, haven’t Latin American countries been able to produce the expected results? Why do successful initiatives only take place within the framework of pilot projects? Why does the ideology of health promotion and health in all policies mainly permeate structures of the health sector, but not other sectors? Why are intersectoral actions conjunctural initiatives, which often fail to evolve into permanent practices? Based on an extensive literature review, case studies, personal experiences, and interviews with key informants in the region, Globalization and Health Inequities in Latin America presents a strategy that uses monitoring and evaluation practices for enhancing the capacity of Latin American and other low and middle-income countries to implement sustainable processes to foster inclusiveness, equity, social justice and human rights. p/pp
