Download or read book Dust and Dignity written by Erynn Masi de Casanova and published by ILR Press. This book was released on 2019-09-15 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes domestic work a bad job, even after efforts to formalize and improve working conditions? Erynn Masi de Casanova's case study, based partly on collaborative research conducted with Ecuador's pioneer domestic workers' organization, examines three reasons for persistent exploitation. First, the tasks of social reproduction are devalued. Second, informal work arrangements escape regulation. And third, unequal class relations are built into this type of employment. Accessible to advocates and policymakers as well as academics, this book provides both theoretical discussions about domestic work and concrete ideas for improving women's lives. Drawing on workers' stories of lucha, trabajo, and sacrificio—struggle, work, and sacrifice—Dust and Dignity offers a new take on an old occupation. From the intimate experience of being a body out of place in an employer's home, to the common work histories of Ecuadorian women in different cities, to the possibilities for radical collective action at the national level, Casanova shows how and why women do this stigmatized and precarious work and how they resist exploitation in the search for dignified employment. From these searing stories of workers' lives, Dust and Dignity identifies patterns in domestic workers' experiences that will be helpful in understanding the situation of workers elsewhere and offers possible solutions for promoting and ensuring workers' rights that have relevance far beyond Ecuador.

Download or read book The New Politics of Inequality in Latin America written by Douglas A. Chalmers and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1997-01-30 with total page 663 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against a broader backdrop of globalization and worldwide moves toward political democracy, The New Politics of Inequality in Latin America examines the unfolding relationships among social change, equity, and the democratic representation of the poor in Latin America.Recent Latin American governments have turned away from redistributive policies; at the same time, popular political and social organizations have been generally weakened, inequality has increased, and the gap between rich and poor has grown. Hanging in the balance is the consolidation and the quality of new or would-be democracies; this volume suggests that governments must find not just short-term programmes to alleviate poverty, but long-term means to ensure the effective integration of thepoor into political life.The New Politics of Inequality in Latin America bridges the intellectual chasm between, on the one hand, studies of grassroots politics, and on the other, explorations of elite politics and formal institution-building. It will be of interest to students and scholars of contemporary Latin American politics and society and, more generally, in the vicissitudes of democracy and citizenship in the late twentieth-century global system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Authored by contributors from a variety of fields, primarily legal as well as development studies, economics and regulatory studies, the book presents both empirical and theoretical analyses of the issues. With authors from several continents, this collection is unique in that it focuses on labour regulation in poor and middle-income countries rather than industrialised ones, therefore making it a significant contribution to the field.

Book excerpt: Con un mercado laboral agónico, no es de extrañar que la expatriación sea una de las mayores preocupaciones en el mundo de los Recursos Humanos. Por primera vez, muchísimas compañías españolas, hasta ahora solo activas en el mercado doméstico, ven su salida a otros países como la mejor opción para seguir creciendo y desarrollándose. Ante esta situación tanto los profesionales de Recursos Humanos como toda aquella persona interesada en conocer las implicaciones de una asignación internacional necesitan estar al tanto de cuáles son los aspectos críticos a la hora de gestionar de manera eficaz la movilidad internacional. Para ello RED EXPAT, iniciativa española nacida en 2001, en la que participan los equipos de Recursos Humanos de más de 100 compañías, aproximadamente 450 profesionales de dicho sector, especializados en la gestión de movilidad internacional, se ha encargado de la coordinación de este manual práctico. En ¿Trabajar fuera? se encontrarán las mejores respuestas a preguntas tales sobre cómo llevar a cabo con éxito la expatriación de los empleados de una empresa a un puesto de trabajo en otro país, qué obligaciones fiscales, laborales y de Seguridad Social tienen la empresa y el trabajador, qué retribuciones, beneficios y seguros son los más apropiados, cómo encontrar una vivienda adecuada, qué problemas presenta si se muda con su familia o si hacen falta visados o documentos especiales, así como los aspectos claves en la incorporación a España de nacionales de otros países.

Download or read book Principled Labor Law written by Sergio Gamonal C. and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-06 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gig economy, precarious work, and nonstandard employment have forced labor law scholars to rethink their discipline. Classical remedies for unequal power, capabilities approaches, "third way" market regulation, and laissez-faire all now vie for attention - at least in English. Despite a deep history of labor activism, Latin American scholarship has had scant presence in these debates. This book introduces to an English-language audience another approach: principled labor law, based on Latin American perspectives, using a jurisprudential method focused on worker protection. The authors apply this methodology to the least likely case of labor-protective jurisprudence in the industrialized world: the United States. In doing so, Gamonal and Rosado focus on the Thirteenth Amendment as a labor-protective constitutional provision, the National Labor Relations Act, and the Fair Labor Standards Act. This book shows how principled labor law can provide a clear and simple method for consistent, labor-protective jurisprudence in the United States and beyond.

Download or read book Women and Girls Rising written by Ellen Chesler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-19 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A growing body of evidence demonstrates that improvements in the status of women and girls – however worthy and important in their own right – also drive the prosperity, stability, and security of families, communities, and nations. Yet despite many indicators of progress, women and girls everywhere – including countries of the developed world – continue to confront barriers to their full and equal participation in social, economic, and political life. Capturing voices and experiences from around the world, this work documents the modern history of the global women’s movement - its many accomplishments and setbacks. Drawing together prominent pioneers and contemporary policymakers, activists, and scholars, the volume interrogates where and why progress has met resistance and been slowed, and examine the still unfinished agenda for change in national and international policy arenas. This history and roadmap are especially critical for younger generations who need a better understanding of this rich feminist legacy and the intense opposition that women’s movements have generated. This book creates a clear and forceful narrative about women’s agency and the central relevance of women’s rights movements to global and national policy-making.. It is essential reading for activists and policymakers, students and scholars alike.
