Download or read book The Place of Work in African Childhoods written by Michael Bourdillon and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2015-10-19 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about how work enters and affects the lives of children in Africa, taking for granted neither the traditional values surrounding childrens work, nor the international standards against it. Many African societies nurture their children on the ingrained notion that children must work as part of their process of growing up. Children participate in their families and communities through the work they do in the house and in whatever else their families do. Such views are, however, antithetical to the dominant views in Europe and North America which see childhood as a time of freedom from responsibility and economic activity. These views have become so popular with the elites in other countries to the extent that they now drive international campaigns against child labour, and have been incorporated into what are now considered universal international standards and conventions. This book was conceived within the framework of the CODESRIA tradition of taking African perspectives seriously and not allowing social research in Africa to become subservient to values from outside. African scholars remain keenly aware of the need not to isolate themselves from developments in the wider world, which could lead to stagnation. This book, through empirical observation of the lives of African children, the work they do, its place in their lives, and what the children say about it, proposes new perspectives towards a new understanding of this complex stage of human development. Work is not simply about the right to income: work provides identity and status in society, and participation in the community. People relate to one another through work. Those who do not work are often without status and are at the periphery of society. One of the major ways in which this book differs from most of the available literature is in the understanding it brings to the problem of child labour. There are economic reasons why children may need an income of their own. There is the demographic fact that the proportion of children to adults in low-income countries is nearly double that in high-income societies. This book attempts to demonstrate that work is both necessary and beneficial in terms of a childs development to become a full, responsible, and respectable member of society.

This book was released on 1980-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ils sont cinquante-deux millions, selon les chiffres officiels. En vérité, ils sont sûrement cent, cent cinquante millions, à être privés d'enfance. Depuis la révolution industrielle du siècle dernier, on croyait savoir : l'injustice n'épargnait pas les enfants. On pouvait aussi croire l'abjecte plaie refermée. C'était oublier que le travail des enfants, c'est le monde du silence. Ce livre veut aider à briser ce silence dans lequel on enferme les petites victimes de la misère, du sous-développement et de l'indifférence. Car, de Rio à Los Angeles, en passant par Hong Kong, à l'âge où les autres sont sur les bancs de l'école, ils travaillent. Et dur. Dans des ateliers, sur le trottoir, dans la nuit. À la merci d'adultes sans scrupules. Condamnés à des conditions de vie inhumaines. Astreints à des tâches au-dessus de leurs forces. À des travaux dangereux, au péril de leur santé. Le sommet de l'ignoble, si l'on peut graduer l'horreur, est peut-être atteint à Hong Kong, où l'on voit de jeunes enfants user leurs jours à fabriquer les jouets de Noël des petits Occidentaux... Ce dossier exceptionnel, implacable dans sa vérité, stupéfiant par les faits qu'il rapporte, est comme la photographie d'un malheur insoutenable. Car ce malheur a le visage d'un enfant interdit de jeux, de bonheur, d'amour et d'avenir. Ce n'est pas l'un des plus minces scandales de notre temps.
Download or read book Regional Economic Communities written by Olutayo, Akinpelu O. and published by CODESRIA. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how the existence of overlapping regional institutions has presented a daunting challenge to the workings of various Regional Economic Communities (RECs) on the African continent. The majority of the African countries are members of overlapping and, sometimes, contradictory RECs. For instance, in East Africa, while Kenya and Uganda are both members of EAC and COMESA, Tanzania, which is also a member of the EAC, left COMESA in 2001 to join SADC. In West Africa, while all former French colonies belong to ECOWAS, they simultaneously keep membership of UEMOA, an organization which is not recognized by the African Union (AU). Such multiple and confusing memberships create unnecessary duplication and dims the light on what ought to be priority. Various chapters in this book have therefore sought to identify and proffer solutions to related challenges confronting the workings of the RECs in different sub-regions of the African continent. The discourses range from security to the stock exchange, identity integration, development framework, labour movement and cross-border relations. The pattern adopted in the book involves devolution of related discussions from the general to the specific; that is, from the continental level to sub-regional case studies.

This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economic and social prospects are daunting for the 89 million out-of-school youth who comprise nearly half of all youth in Sub-Saharan Africa. Within the next decade, when this cohort becomes the core of the labor market, an estimated 40 million more youth will drop out, and will face an uncertain future with limited work and life skills. Furthermore, out-of-school youth often are 'policy orphans,' positioned between sectors with little data, low implementation capacity, lack of interest in long-term sustainability of programs, insufficient funds, and little coordination across the different government agencies. This report provides a diagnostic analysis of the state of out-of-school youth in Sub-Saharan Africa, focusing on the 12- to 24-year-old cohort. This report also examines the decision path youth take as they progress through the education system and the factors that explain youth's school and work choices. It finds that individual and household characteristics, social norms, and characteristics of the school system all matter in understanding why youth drop out and remain out of school. In particular, six key factors characterize out-of-school youth: (i) most out-of-school youth drop out before secondary school; (ii) early marriage for female youth and (iii) rural residence increase the likelihood of being out of school; (iv) parental education level and (v) the number of working adults are important household factors; and (vi) lack of school access and low educational quality are binding supply-side constraints. Policy discussions on out-of-school youth are framed by these six key factors along with three entry points for intervention: retention, remediation, and integration. This report also reviews policies and programs in place for out-of-school youth across the continent. Ultimately, this report aims to inform public discussion, policy formulation, and development practitioners' actions working with youth in Sub-Saharan Africa.

L'enfance, quant à elle, serait une étape improductive dont il s'agirait de réduire au minimum la durée. A l'école, à la maison, dans les médias, tout est fait pour leur inculquer l'idée qu'ils devront un jour produire. Mais les enfants résistent et donnent une leçon de savoir-vivre.

Book excerpt: C'etait il y a deux ans a Naples, a la terrasse d'un cafe. Le gamin passait d'une table a l'autre, portant son lourd plateau a deux mains. Sur son visage, encore le sourire de l'enfance mais deja une paleur et des cernes noirs qui racontaient une autre vie. En Italie, ils sont des milliers de gamins a devoir travailler. Pour leur famille, c'est une question de survie. Comme partout en Europe, le salaire de leurs enfants est devenu indispensable. Des bas-fonds de Naples, l'enquete de Cecile Allegra l'a menee au coeur de la Bulgarie, la banlieue anglaise de Doncaster et jusqu'aux eleves apprentis de France, sur les traces d'un phenomene meconnu, souvent nie, parfois tabou: la resurgence du travail des enfants en Europe.

Book excerpt: Ensembles historiques et culturels fondamentalement différents, l'Asie et l'Europe se sont perçues - et se perçoivent encore? - à travers des prismes déformants. Depuis la fin des années 1950, certaines économies asiatiques ont connu un remarquable développement impliquant la recherche de marchés extérieurs parmi lesquels l'Europe occupe une place de choix. Mais la nature même du développement économique en Asie pose la question de savoir si, demain, l'Union européenne s'érigera en forteresse tentant de résister aux avancées asiatiques ou si, au contraire, elle cherchera à établir un véritable partenariat, notamment avec l'Inde et la Chine. Au delà des questions de nature économique, celles relevant de l'analyse politique ne doivent-elles pas être posées? Les rapports entre l'Union et les membres de l'ASEAN inclineraient à répondre positivement. Ils invitent à la prospective, à l'exemple de l'évolution des relations euro-japonaises depuis le début des années 1990. Celle-ci paraît en effet démontrer qu'une meilleure connaissance des caractères structurels et culturels du lien Europe-Asie inscrits dans la durée, constitue, notamment, un facteur déterminant du développement des relations économiques.
