COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIORPROGRAMA DE SUPORTE À PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO DE INSTS. DE ENSINO
O aumento na freqüência de divórcios tem levado especialistas a estudar, cada vez mais, os reflexos deste evento no sistema familiar e na vida de cada um dos membros da família. Em uma perspectiva sistêmica, entende-se que o divórcio é um momento de crise no sistema familiar, e que exige uma reorganização e uma renegociação de fronteiras. Por outro lado, em uma perspectiva psicanalítica de casal e família, o luto da dissolução da identidade conjugal deve ser elaborado, uma vez que deve haver um desinvestimento libidinal. A criança, como parte do núcleo familiar, passa por estas transformações e deve também se adaptar. Mas de que modo ela absorve as informações que são passadas a ela? De que forma ela compreende as mudanças que estão ocorrendo? Qual a sua percepção sobre o relacionamento dos pais, passados alguns anos da separação dos mesmos? Foi na tentativa de compreender um pouco melhor estas questões que este trabalho foi concebido. Realizou-se um estudo de campo, no qual foram entrevistadas dez crianças, na faixa etária entre 9 e 12 anos, e cujos pais estivessem separados há, pelo menos, dois anos. Dentre os resultados da pesquisa, encontrou-se uma tendência nos pais, de acordo com a perspectiva das crianças, de buscar uma forma de interagir, colocando os filhos em foco, mantendo um bom relacionamento. Apesar disto, em outros casos, as crianças percebem que os pais têm dificuldades para negociar e chegar a novos acordos, vivendo em constantes conflitos ou evitando contato com o ex-cônjuge.
The increase of divorce rates made specialists study the reflexes that this event has for the family system and for each family member. In a systemic perspective, it’s understood that the divorce happens like a crisis, demanding reorganization and border renegotiation from the family system. In a family and couple psychoanalytic perspective, the family must grieve the end of the relationship and reinvest the libido. Children, as a part of the family, also have to adapt to the changes. But, in which way they understand the information that is given to them? How they comprehend all the changes that are happening? What’s their perception about the parental relationship, a few years after the divorce? This study is an attempt to clarify a little more each of these questions. A field research was made, in which ten children – who had their parents divorced for, at least, two years –, that had from nine to twelve years old, were interviewed. Between the results, it was found that, according to the children’s perspective, parents are trying to find a way to interact, putting children first, maintaining a cooperative relationship with the ex-partner. In other cases, children perceive that their parents are experiencing difficulties to negotiate and to find new ways to relate. In these cases, the former spouses live in constant conflicts, or avoid any kind of contact with each other.

El sistema de vida familiar difiere a través del tiempo y de las sociedades debido a factores sociales y económicos. El patrón de convivencia revela no sólo las preferencias, sino también las condiciones prácticas bajo las cuales los individuos basan sus decisiones. Esta tesis, organizada en tres ensayos, trata tres aspectos de la vida familiar: la convivencia intergeneracional en Asia, los hogares encabezados por mujeres en América Latina y los patrones de convivencia de los migrantes marroquíes en España. Los análisis se centran en las dimensiones de tiempo y espacio, destacando la evolución de las formas familiares a lo largo de las geografías y el tiempo. Las diferencias entre los géneros en la propensión a vivir con padres, cónyuges e hijos son especialmente escrutadas. La Serie Internacional Integrada de Microdatos de Uso Público (IPUMS-i) proporciona una gran colección de muestras de microdatos de hogares y censos armonizados para diferente tiempo de 82 países. Esta tesis se basa en microdatos de censos y encuestas que abarcan de una a cuatro décadas para 28 países, utilizando un total de 86 muestras de datos IPUM-i para establecer comparaciones transnacionales a gran escala entre Asia y América Latina y entre Marruecos y España, y los respectivos cambios a través del tiempo. Los resultados del primer capítulo revelan que el tamaño del hogar ha ido disminuyendo en Asia a lo largo del tiempo, pero la tradición de patrilocalidad persiste en muchos países, particularmente en China y la India. El segundo capítulo muestra que cada vez más mujeres se identifican como cabeza de familia en América Latina y que los hogares encabezados por mujeres no están necesariamente en condiciones más desfavorecidas una vez se tiene en cuenta el estatus de relación de la jefa del hogar. El tercer capítulo muestra que la asimilación migratoria en las formas de convivencia no es lineal y no se parece ni a la norma familiar de España ni a la de Marruecos. Los tres ensayos ilustran la multi-dimensionalidad y complejidad de los contextos familiares que evolucionan junto con los desarrollos sociales y económicos.Family living arrangement differs across time and societies due to social and economic factors. Coresidence reveals not only preferences, but also practical conditions under which individuals base their coresidential decisions on. This dissertation, organized into three essays, addresses three aspects of family life: intergenerational coresidence in Asia, female headship in Latin America, and Moroccan migrant coresidential patterns in Spain. The analyses focus on the time and space dimensions, highlighting the evolution of family forms across geographies and over time. Gender differences in the propensity to live with parents, spouse, and children are particularly scrutinized. The Integrated Public-Use Microdata Series International (IPUMS-i) provides a large collection of harmonized census and household survey microdata samples for different time points of 82 countries. This dissertation relies on census and survey microdata spanning from one to four decades for 28 countries, using a total of 86 IPUM-i sample datasets to draw large-scale cross-national comparisons on Asia, Latin America, and between Morocco and Spain, over time. The findings for the first chapter reveal that household size has been decreasing in Asia over time, but the tradition of patrilocality persists in many countries, particularly in China and India. The second chapter shows that an increasing number of women serve as the head of household in Latin America and female headed households are not necessarily in poorer conditions once the relationship status of the household head is taken into account. The third chapter shows the nonlinearity of migrant assimilation in living arrangements which neither resembles the family norm of Spain nor of Morocco. The three essays illustrate the multi-dimensionality and complexity of the changing context of family that evolves alongside social and economic developments.

Carlsund, Åsa. "Children`s Mental Health -with focus on family arrangements." Doctoral thesis, Mittuniversitetet, Avdelningen för omvårdnad, 2013. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:miun:diva-19759.
Full textAbstract:
The main aim of this thesis was to study children’s mental health with focus on family arrangements. The thesis was based on four studies (I-IV). Study number I, III and IV were quantitative studies with cross sectional design, using the Swedish version of Health behaviour in School- aged children (HBSC), including children aged 11, 13 and 15 years. The data was analysed with multiple linear regression analysis (I) and multivariate logistic regression analysis (III, IV). Study II was of qualitative descriptive design, based on 28 interviews with parents living in shared physical custody with their children. The qualitative study was analysed with inductive latent content analysis. Study I showed that lower levels of SHC and higher levels of SWB were associated with higher degrees of social capital in the family, school and neighbourhood. Social capital in family, school and neighbourhood had a cumulative influence on children’s SHC and SWB. In study II the participating parents described their own as well as the perceptions of their children and former partners. Parents’ perceptions changed from the beginning of shared physical custody, through the current situation, ending with perception of the future. The fifteen year old boys and girls (III) living in shared physical custody were more at risk of being a smoker or having been drunk compared with children living in two parent families. The results of sex <15 years and conduct problems showed that the risks didn’t differ significantly between these two groups. Study IV showed that children living in shared physical custody with their parents were more likely than children in two parent families to report multiple SHC, and low SWB. The variable of communication did not moderate the SHC and SWB of the children in any of these two groups. This thesis contribute with new and deeper understanding of the relatively new phenomenon: shared physical custody, and its associations to children’s mental health. The parent’s perceptions were an important complement to the children’s self reported health. In order to influence the decreasing mental health among children and adolescents, their opinions contributes to further understanding. Narratives from children, parents and practitioners are required in order to further study the association between children’s health outcomes and different family arrangements. Additional studies are needed to clarify how children’s mental health and different family arrangements are related to school, community economy, and society.Avhandlingens huvudsyfte var att studera barns mentala hälsa med fokus på familjekonstellationer. Fyra olika studier ligger till grund för avhandlingen (I-IV). Studie I, II och IV var kvantitativa studier med tvärsnittsdesign. Datamaterialet utgjordes av den svenska versionen av Health Behaviour in School- aged Children (HBSC) (Svenska skolbarns hälsovanor). De deltagande barnen var i åldrarna 11, 13 och 15 år. Datamaterialet analyserades med hjälp av multipel linjär regressions analys (I) samt multivariat logistisk regressionsanalys (III, IV). Studie II var av kvalitativ karaktär och baserades på 28 intervjuer med föräldrar som bodde växelvis boende med sina barn. Den kvalitativa studien analyserades med hjälp av induktiv latent innehållsanalys. Studie I visade att lägre nivåer av SHC (subjektiva hälsobesvär) och högre nivåer av SWB (subjektivt välbefinnande) hade ett samband med högre nivåer av socialt kapital i familjen, skolan och närområdet. Socialt kapital i familjen, skolan och närområdet hade en kumulativ effekt på barnens självrapporterade SHC och SWB. I studie två beskrev de deltagande föräldrarna sina egna upplevelser, samt upplevelser relaterat till barnen samt och den före detta partnern. Föräldrarnas upplevelser förändrades från den första tiden av växelvis boende till nuvarande situation och avslutades med tankar om framtiden. De växelvis boende femtonåriga pojkarna och flickorna i studie III rapporterade ökad risk för att vara såväl rökare som att ha varit berusade jämfört med 15- åringarna i traditionella familjer. Resultaten avseende sex <15 år samt beteendeproblem visade inga signifikanta skillnader mellan dessa två grupper. Studie IV visade att barn som bodde i växelvis boende rapporterade fler subjektiva hälsobesvär och lägre välbefinnande jämfört med barn i traditionella familjer. Kommunikationsvariabeln hade ingen modererande effekt på någon av dessa båda grupper. Föreliggande avhandling bidrar med såväl ny som fördjupad kunskap för det relativt nya fenomenet, växelvis boende, och dess relation till barns mentala hälsa. Föräldrarnas upplevelse var ett viktigt bidrag till barnens självrapporterade hälsa. För att kunna påverka barn och ungas rapporter om allt sämre mental hälsa, är deras åsikter ett viktigt inslag för ökade kunskaper inom området. Vi behöver barns, föräldrars och yrkesverksammas åsikter för att vidare kunna studera relationen mellan barns hälsoutfall och olika familjekonstellationer. Vi behöver också veta mer om olika familjekonstellationers relation till skolan, närområdet samt det övriga samhället.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract
Employees experience challenges managing home and work. The increase of women in the workforce, single-parents, childcare, elder care responsibilities, and men in nontraditional roles warrant changes in traditional working hours and flexibility in work schedules. Through the theoretical frameworks of work-family conflict, spillover, border, and boundary theories, the purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore how flexible work arrangements (FWAs) assisted employees in meeting work and family obligations. Minimal research is available in the defense industry and the use of FWAs. A nonprobability, convenience sample was used to explore how management and nonmanagement participants from a Midwest defense contractor used FWAs. An online questionnaire consisting of 59 questions and 14 face-to-face (FTF) interviews were used to collect data. There were 27 participants that responded to all online questions. FTF interviews were audio recorded and member-checked. The research questions were focused on how employees used FWAs and whether work-family balance (WFB) was achieved. Both data collection media were transcribed and inductively coded tracking emerging themes and patterns. Dominant themes showed that FWA increased WFB, employees worked longer hours, employees were loyal to the organization, and telecommuting was the ideal FWA. The implications for social change are providing a realistic view to employers on the importance of balancing work and family. FWAs are also shown to contribute to employee satisfaction and attract and retain highly-skilled workers.

Devine, Anthony. "An exploration of governance arrangements and the succession process within family businesses." Thesis, Northumbria University, 2017. http://nrl.northumbria.ac.uk/32459/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores how governance arrangements relate to the succession process in family businesses. This is achieved through considering how governance ‘works’ in family businesses and the challenges that family businesses face with the succession process. Academic literature has suggested research into governance of family firms is underdeveloped (Lubatkin, Schulze, Ling, & Dino, 2005; Steier, Chrisman, & Chua, 2004). Similarly, codes of governance for non-listed firms have only been present in the professional literature for the past seven years (ecoDa, 2010; IoD, 2010). The codes emphasise the importance of the succession process which remains the most difficult period for family firms (Cabrera-Suarez, Saa-Perez, & Garcia-Almeida, 2001; Dunn, 1999; Handler, 1994; Lansberg, 1988; Morris, Williams, Allen, & Avila, 1997; Yan & Sorenson, 2006). In more recent times, the media has begun to discuss the need for improvements in the management and governance of family firms (Bloom, 2017). For these reasons a study that explores governance arrangements in family firms and how they relate to the succession processes is important. The research is underpinned by a constructionist ontology and a social constructionist epistemology. The data were collected through 16 individual face-to-face, semi-structured interviews, with seven family businesses, from a range of industry backgrounds across the United Kingdom. An inductive, thematic approach was taken enabling themes to emerge from the data analysis. The emergent focus of the findings was an overarching concern for control, both in terms of governance arrangements and the succession process. A theoretical model is presented that shows how ‘moderate’ levels of control lead to ‘optimal’ circumstances for the succession process in family firms. The Family Fundamental Interpersonal Relationship Orientation (FIRO) model (Danes, Rueter, Kwon and Dohery, 2002; Haberman and Danes, 2007) is used as an explanatory framework to propose that ‘optimal’ circumstances are characterised by ‘collaborative’ interpersonal relationships within the family firm. The research findings and the subsequent theoretical model that has been developed are important because they expand knowledge regarding the relationship between governance and the succession process in family firms. It provides family business members, family business consultants and researchers with a fresh perspective on how to approach governance arrangements and potentially control the challenges that arise during the succession process.

Palma, Julieta. "Extended living arrangements in Chile : an analysis of subfamilies." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2018. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/271737.
Full textAbstract:
Extended households are far from a rare phenomenon in Latin America and their prevalence does not seem to be in decline. In Chile, they accounted for about a quarter of all households over the 1990–2011 period. This persistence contrasts with the dramatic transformations that have taken place in other dimensions of family life, such as the fall in fertility and marriage rates, and the increase in cohabitation and out-of-wedlock births. Recent studies on extended living arrangements in the region have mainly understood household extension as a strategy to face economic deprivation, giving little attention to other factors affecting it, such as gender inequalities and changing needs for support over the life course. In this dissertation, I contribute to the understanding of extended households Chile through the analysis of adult women living in family units over the 1990–2011 period. Unlike most other studies, I recognise the unequal positions that individuals and families occupy within the extended household, by distinguishing between women that head an extended household and those that join it as subfamilies. Using quantitative methods, I analyse a nationally representative household survey: the CASEN survey. This is the most complete data source on demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the Chilean population. This dissertation offers a new assessment of the relationship between extended living arrangements and economic deprivation. Its findings only partially support the hypothesis of household extension as a family strategy to face economic hardship. Other key factors emerge when explaining extended living arrangements, including mothers’ full-time employment, the vulnerability of informal family structures, and other needs of support connected to the life course. There has been an increasing trend across 1990–2011 for young women who have started their family life to live in extended households. Multivariate analyses reveals that this increase was mainly influenced by the rising prevalence of cohabitation and single lone motherhood among younger generations, and to a lesser extent by the increase in young women’s full-time employment. These findings raise important theoretical issues for the Chilean context and show that patterns of social modernisation and family change in Chile have gone hand-in-hand with an increasing importance of the support provided by the extended family. This dissertation fills an important gap in the research on intra-household gender inequalities by analysing women’s economic dependence on extended household members. It shows that women in subfamilies are more likely to be economically dependent than those in head-families. Full-time employment, as well as marriage and cohabitation, emerge as highly protective factors against economic dependence. Special attention is paid to lone mothers, who are often excluded from research on women’s economic dependence. Lone mothers in subfamilies benefit economically from being in an extended household. Yet overall they have decreased their likelihood of being economically dependent over the 1990–2011 period. I argue that this reflects the increasing social protection towards lone mothers and recent legal reforms aimed at the equalisation of rights among couples and children irrespective of the marriage bond.

Wilder, Ann C. "Living arrangements of elderly widows in India: Family convention, bad luck and abandonment." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2016. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc849664/.
Full textAbstract:
In India, issues of gender discrimination and female empowerment have become more prominent in the last several years. Elderly women, specifically widows, are often abandoned or not well cared for by family members and are typically marginalized within Indian society, vulnerable, and susceptible to poverty. This is an exploratory analysis with a research hypothesis asking, who are the caregivers of elderly widows? Statistics indicate that women may be taking on more of a care giving role with elderly widows which in turn may exacerbate the already existing issues of poverty and neglect for this population. The purpose of this study was to examine in more depth the factors related to living arrangements of elderly Indian widows using the NFHS-3 (2005-2006) data set. Quantitative methods of secondary data analysis and systematic literature review are employed in this research. sociological factors related to family self-reported living arrangement, age of widow, education, caste, socioeconomic level, religion, and geographic region were analyzed using data from the respondents identified as older widows (N=2,176). Findings indicate 78% report living alone or in non-familial households while 22% reported living in various familial constellations. The odds of living with a relative versus not living with a relative were found to be significant for three variables: age, religion Muslim, and region Northern. Living arrangements for elderly widows in Indian society are determined based on a complex system of logic embedded in a patrilineal descent, family convention, religion, and regional cultural practices. Understanding these complex factors is important in predicting the needs and available services for this population of vulnerable elderly women.

Ramos, da Silva Lopes Alexandra Cristina. "Welfare arrangements, safety nets and familial support for the elderly in Portugal." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2006. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/727/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses the welfare arrangements of the Portuguese elderly from an historical and a sociological perspective. Two goals form the focus of the thesis. First, it attempts to enrich the discussion on familialism as a model of welfare provision in old age in Portugal. Starting with the historical analysis of the process of consolidation of a model of welfare provision that is based on a set of assumptions about the existence of intergenerational ties and kin solidarity throughout the life course, the thesis moves on to the sociological analysis of family dynamics and normative propositions related to welfare arrangements in old age. The broad question underlying the analysis is to know how resilient and operative is familialism as a logics of welfare provision for the Portuguese elderly. The thesis shows that the resilience of familialism in the lives of the elderly is related to a complex set of social, economic and normative intricacies that still provide for a support network in old age but that show signs of being under accelerated erosion. Second, the thesis aims to make a contribution to the analysis of welfare states and social policies in familialist countries by demonstrating the explanatory power of family arrangements for understanding welfare arrangements in old age. This involves introducing in the analysis of welfare arrangements a focus on intergenerational and kin relationships, demonstrating how the familialist model is intertwined with a complex network of exchanges of support that goes beyond the needs of the elderly and that is in fact structured around the functional roles of each member of the household and/or family for the welfare of the whole. The thesis draws on review of literature and secondary data analysis. The data used came from three main sources: the European Community Household Panel (1998), the Portuguese Family Budget Survey (2000) and the Eurobarometer Survey Series (1992, 1995 and 1998-99). The analysis of data has privileged a descriptive approach, using some multivariate analysis to make meaningful synthesis. It combines crossnational comparative analysis with a case-study focus. The goal of the empirical analysis was to come up with a holistic synthesis of welfare arrangements of the Portuguese elderly linking them to three main dimensions: institutional, familial and normative.

Full textAbstract:
Balancing a successful career with a family life can be challenging and impact on a person's satisfaction in their work and family roles, affecting not only the person but their partner and children as well. This study examined the influence of social support from family and work associates on the role satisfaction of female and male managers, and their children's adjustment. Participants were 96 male and 100 female managers and their families. The first aim of this study was to examine the relative importance of work and family support for satisfaction in the roles of paid worker, spouse and parent. Findings showed that social support had a domain-specific effect, with work support associated with job satisfaction, and family support associated with marital and parenting satisfaction. The second aim of the study was to evaluate gender differences in perceived social support, and the association of support with role satisfaction. Although there were considerable differences in the managers' work and family arrangements, female managers and male managers reported receiving similar levels of work and family support, and the strength of the relationship between social support and role satisfaction was similar for both genders. The final aim of the study was to examine the role of social support in the larger family system, as research has mainly focussed on the influence of social support on the support recipient. This study extended research on the relationship between social support and role satisfaction, by showing that family support was not only associated to managers' role satisfaction, but also to managers' interactions with their children, and their children's adjustment. Work support on the other hand, was related to job satisfaction, but not to parent-child interactions and child adjustment. The findings from this study could inform clinicians' treatment of families with children experiencing problems by addressing the relationship of family support with child adjustment. Findings could also inform governments' work and family agendas, which generally focus on providing assistance to employers with the development of workplace policies to improve work-family balance. Governments should also promote the role of family support, and provide information for families on how to arrange household and childcare tasks and provide support to each other to facilitate work-family balance. Furthermore, the current study showed that work support is positively related to employee's job satisfaction, which is important for employees as well as employers. Employers can promote supportive relationships among employees through establishing networking opportunities for their employees, such as breakfast meetings, workshops and seminars, and business planning days. This study showed that some people can have it all - a satisfying and successful career, a happy marriage, and fulfilling parenthood - and social support appears to play a significant role in achieving this.

Galea-Seychell, Olivia. "Connecting children with their family of origin : a study of contact arrangements for fostered children in Malta." Thesis, Open University, 2011. http://oro.open.ac.uk/54500/.
Full textAbstract:
Maintaining links with the family of origin is significant to children's welfare. This thesis studies contact arrangements between children in foster care and their family of origin. Contact with birth parents, siblings and the extended family is explored. A survey of social work case files is carried out. The survey of 136 fostered children reports that children live in long term care. Same sibling placement is uncommon. Children are most frequently in contact with siblings, followed by contact with the mother. Contact with the father is associated negatively with educational attainment, whilst contact with the mother is associated with emotional/behavioural concerns. As a result of the survey's findings, this thesis develops an intensive study of contact. Twenty two children residing in foster care and their 21 foster carers are interviewed. Pictorial vignettes and visual spatial techniques are administered to children. Through these techniques children's views, experiences and wishes of contact are reported. A questionnaire and an interview are also administered to foster carers. Children view contact favourably with siblings and the extended family. Negative emotions are found when contact with parents is discussed. Most children have face-to-face contact with siblings. They also wish to have more contact with siblings. Contact with the extended family such as grandparents is non-threatening. Foster carers hold ambivalent views about contact. Whilst promoting contact, they show reluctance towards children's contact with parents and the extended family. The study reports that both children and foster carers are involved, by practitioners, in contact issues. Moreover, contact is identified as significant to children's identity development. A practice model of contact is discussed in the conclusion of this thesis.

This is a qualitative research with a case study designed on polyamory. Polyamory emerged in the 1990s as a new mode of loving relationship, a paradigmatic representation of contemporary love. Unrelated to a particular sexual identity, as a specific modality of non-monogamy, being a relationship orientation in which is believed the possibility and acceptance to love many people, maintaining multiple intimate relationships. This family arrangement is already present in many countries and in Brazil the latest survey in a social media group indicated 17,487 members interested in the topic. The instrument used was the semi-structured interview and narratives obtained, classified in three categories: Experiencing the quotidian, Experiencing the social, and Constructing gender relationships in the polyamory. The results showed some similarities with other conventional family arrangements such as: division of tasks, jealousy, hierarchy, gender issues and others. Conjugality and sexuality are peculiar to the researched family and follow established criteria in polyamorous arrangements. We suggest further studies on polyamorous families in our reality
Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa com delineamento de estudo de caso sobre o poliamor. O poliamor surgiu na década de 90 como uma nova modalidade de relacionamento amoroso, uma representação paradigmática do amor contemporâneo. Sem ligação com uma identidade sexual particular, como uma modalidade específica da não-monogamia, sendo uma orientação de relacionamento na qual se acredita ser possível e aceitável amar muitas pessoas e manter múltiplos relacionamentos íntimos. Este arranjo familiar já está presente em muitos países e no Brasil o último levantamento em um grupo de uma mídia social indicava 17.487 membros interessados no tema. O instrumento utilizado foi a entrevista semi-estruturada e as narrativas obtidas classificadas em três categorias: Vivenciando o cotidiano, Vivenciando o social, e Construindo as relações de genêro no poliamor. Os resultados mostraram algumas similaridades com os outros arranjos familiares mais convencionais, como: divisão de tarefas, ciúme, hierarquia, questões de genêro, entre outras. A conjugalidade e a sexualidade são peculiares da família pesquisada e seguem critéros estabelecidos nos arranjos poliamorosos. Sugerimos mais estudos sobre famílias poliamorosas na nossa realidade

Full textAbstract:
This study examined the relationship between the use of flexible work arrangements and satisfaction with work-family balance amongst working fathers in South Africa. Two types of flexible work arrangements were examined. Formal flexible work arrangements included flextime, flexplace and paternity leave. Informal flexibility was examined as job control. Survey responses were collected online via Qualtrics (2014). Based on the data from a sample of working fathers employed on a full-time basis in South Africa (N = 371), hierarchical regression analyses indicated that the use of flexible work arrangements was not significantly related to satisfaction with work-family balance. This finding was inconsistent with conservation of resources theory (Hobfoll, 1989) whereby it was expected that using flexible work arrangements would generate employee resources required to effectively manage multiple role responsibilities, therefore facilitating satisfaction with work-family balance. Interestingly however, job control was found to explain a significant proportion of variance in satisfaction with work-family balance over and above work hours, commute time, neuroticism and number of children living at home. Moderated multiple regression analysis indicated that commute time moderated the relationship between job control and satisfaction with work-family balance such that as job control increased, employees with high and low commute time experienced greater satisfaction with work-family balance. The results of this study encourage greater attention to employee characteristics, such as job control, that represent resources useful for the effective management of work and family roles. Suggestions for future research and management implications are discussed.

This study produces a grounded theory of how parents make decisions regarding the custody arrangements of their children in the divorce process. Eleven parent/adolescent pairs in shared physical and legal custody arrangements were interviewed. Ten factors were found to influence the custody arrangement decisions of divorcing parents: former partner, children, work, new partner, use of a lawyer, role of family, parenting role, place of residence, finances, and divorce. Parents also weighed perceived costs and rewards when making custody arrangement decisions. In addition, an understanding of the involvement of an adolescent in the custody arrangement decisions was gained through this research. The majority of adolescents in this study had some type of input in the custody arrangements at one point or another. Parents and adolescents both expressed concerns with involving adolescents in custody arrangement decisions as well as an appropriate age for adolescent involvement, and how to determine when an adolescent is ready to be involved in the custody arrangement decisions. Custody arrangement decisions are complex decisions that parents and adolescents face; a number of factors are considered and the custody arrangement decision making process varies for all families.

Full textAbstract:
La thèse analyse la construction de l'expérience maternelle chez des femmes de milieu populaire urbain dans le Nordeste brésilien. Au Brésil, société traversée par de fortes asymétries sociales et suivant - en même temps - des processus démocratiques, l'expérience de la maternité en milieu populaire se façonne de plus en plus à travers les dispositifs de santé publique. Les objectifs sanitaires de l'État brésilien se traduisent par une assignation et une sollicitation de ces femmes à accomplir un rôle maternel sanitarisé. Non seulement le système public de santé s'étend mais il change aussi ses modes de régulation, produisant des changements dans les relations familiales et dans la relation de filiation. Cette extension entraîne également une reconfiguration du rapport au pouvoir et des modes de subjectivation d' l'expérience. Par une analyse de données issues d'un travail ethnographique, il s'agit de reconstituer les diverses logiques sociales à l'œuvre lorsqu'une femme de milieu populaire à Recife est " mère ", ou est en train de le devenir. En suivant la temporalité de l'expérience de la maternité - réduite ici aux moments de la grossesse, de l'accouchement et du post-accouchement - cette étude met en évidence les différents arrangements entre les femmes et les régulations du dispositif de santé. La visée de la thèse est double : décrire les changements des relations familiales de milieu populaire au Brésil dans ce contexte d'extension des régulations ainsi que proposer un renouvellement interprétatif de ces changements par la mise en relation des notions d'expérience et de dispositif.

Full textAbstract:
Remote work has become a popular topic within organizations and the popular press. However, academic research has been inconclusive as to whether remote work is related to benefits of increased job performance and lessened work-family conflict. This study examined remote work resources to gain an in-depth understanding of how remote work relates to job performance and work-family conflict. One hundred fifty-one salespeople participated in two time-lagged surveys regarding remote work resources (autonomy, feedback, access to information and interaction with one’s supervisor), outcomes (subjective and objective job performance and work family-conflict) and demographics. Remote work resources were not significantly related to job performance. Contrary to hypotheses, more control over work schedule and control over work process were related to more FIW. In support of hypotheses, more interaction with one’s supervisor was related to less FIW and more access to information was related to less WIF. There was no support for hypothesized mediation or moderation but exploratory analyses revealed that proactive personality moderated the relationship between interaction with one’s supervisor and objective job performance such that the relationship was stronger for less proactive employees than for more proactive employees. Overall, findings support the value of fine-grained analysis of remote work’s resources to provide a nuanced look into their relationships with outcomes.

"Facets of Work–Life Balance across Europe : How the interplay of institutional contexts, work arrangements and individual resources affect capabilities for having a family, and for being involved in family life." Doctoral thesis, Stockholms universitet, Sociologiska institutionen, 2012. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-79498.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this dissertation is to explore various dimensions of work–life balance in Europe. I examine the extent to which institutional factors, working conditions and individual resources influence individuals’ capabilities to have a family and engage in family life. The theoretical framework is inspired by Amartya Sen’s capability framework, a multi-dimensional approach that provides a deeper understanding of the relationship between institutional contexts and individual capabilities. Four studies have been conducted. The first study focuses on women’s short-term childbearing intentions in ten European countries and finds that the association between such intentions and economic uncertainties varies by the policy support for work-family reconciliation in the country as well as individual factors, such as her educational level, and her number of children. The second study addresses the impact of family-friendly working conditions on young adult women’s childbearing behaviour in Sweden, showing the importance of family-friendly working condition for the transition to motherhood of less educated childless women with low income, and for second births of low educated mothers. The third study analyses gender differences in perceived work–home conflict in ten European countries, and the importance of work-family policies and gender norms. I find that gender differences are more pronounced in countries with weaker support for work-family reconciliation and more traditional gender norms. The fourth study focuses on tensions between work and family demands that parents in Hungary and Sweden experience, and on their capabilities to make claims for work–life balance. We find greater agency inequalities for Hungarian parents for claims making for and achievement of work-life balance, in contrast to a strong sense of entitlement to exercise rights to care among Swedish parents, which reflect country variations in policy supports for work−life balance, working time regimes and social norms regarding work and care.At the time of the doctoral defense, the following papers were unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 1: Submitted. Paper 2: Submitted. Paper 3: Submitted.

Full textAbstract:
This study deals with the intergenerational coresidence during the nineteenth century. The main focus is placed on the possible differences in the coresidences among parents and children and whether demographic transition and industrialization changed this relation. Were parents and children living in the same household? It was also important to study the children network; if the children did not live with their parents, where did they live? In the neighbourhoods, in the parish or in another area? Two perspectives were mainly considered, industrialization and demographic transition. On one hand industrialization gave children the opportunity to work outside the parental household and consequently the relationship between parents and children probably became weaker. On the other hand the fall of infant mortality would have facilitated the creation of a new complex household. Did industrialization with a new labour market change in decline the coresidence among parents and children? Or did the fall of mortality increase the number of coresidences? Two more factors influenced the coresidences, social status of the first generation and number of children born. The area of study is the region of Sundsvall, situated in middle Sweden. During the nineteenth century this region experienced a fall of infant mortality and in the middle of the century the introduction of steam-sawmills started and it arrived to be one of the largest sawmill districts at the world in the end of the century. The cohort chosen regarded people born between 1770 and 1820 and they lived their old age in the Sundsvall district. The first methodological approach is cross-sectional and analyses the entire cohort. The second method is a longitudinal analysis of a micro study of 135 people. The results show the decrease of the coresidences between the two generations when parents were 80 years old. In the previous years no difference has been found between the preindustrial and industrial period, thus the decline of mortality did not help the increase of coresidences. Social status was the most determinant factor for the creation of coresidence. People employed in agriculture, peasants and crofters were more likely to coreside with married children compared to the workers’ groups. Social difference increases with the industrialization, workers experienced the decline of coresidence in a stronger way compared to the others groups. The number of children born from the first generation helps in a marginal way the creation of coresidences. The main difference was between one or more children born, but no differences were found among those people who had two children or more. The micro study put in evidence the life cycle of the family. Peasants and crofters were the most likely to experience the cycle of the stem family. However the coresidence could be interrupted by the death or the migration of the family members. Other alternatives as the presences of children in the neighbourhoods or the coresidence with unmarried children were noticed. Finally, the study showed that sons were more likely to live with their parents compared to daughters but in one third of the cases the first generation constituted the stem family with a daughter.

Full textAbstract:
En France, les politiques de conciliation travail-famille reposent principalement sur le développement de modes de garde institutionnels. Les grands-parents continuent pourtant d’occuper une place importante dans les arrangements quotidiens des familles. Comment expliquer leur implication dans la garde des jeunes enfants ? En alliant sociologies de la famille et de l’articulation des temps sociaux, et en croisant méthodes qualitatives et quantitatives, cette thèse s’intéresse aux bricolages des parents au quotidien pour articuler vies familiale et professionnelle, à travers l’étude du cas limite qu’est le recours à l’aide des grands-parents. Cette thèse met l’emphase sur deux logiques. 1) S’il existe une norme de bonne grand-parentalité qui règle la façon dont les grands-parents s’impliquent dans la garde de leurs petits-enfants, celle-ci émane des catégories sociales supérieures et n’est pas intériorisée de façon homogène dans tous les milieux sociaux. Les stratégies éducatives des parents et les attentes vis-à-vis des grands-parents diffèrent selon l’origine sociale. 2) Les contextes professionnels, familiaux et institutionnels jouent comme des contraintes et des opportunités qui influent sur les arrangements quotidiens des parents et les conduisent à infléchir leurs stratégies éducatives quant à l’implication des grands-parents. L’analyse de l’articulation de ces logiques permet d’identifier quatre types de garde grand-parentale : dépannage, routine, intensif et loisirs. Cette thèse montre enfin la corrélation entre développement des enfants et garde grand-parentale, invitant à penser cet objet comme un ensemble diversifié de pratiques vectrices d’inégalités socialesIn France, work-family policies rely mainly on the development of formal childcare. Yet grandparents still have an important role in the daily arrangements of families. How can this involvement of grandparents be explained? By allying the contributions of the sociology of the family and the studies on work-family reconciliation, and based on the combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, this thesis examines to what extent the efforts of parents to articulate professional time and family aspirations are often stopgap solutions made on a daily basis. The use of grandparental childcare is a case study for such analysis.This thesis focuses on two logics. First, while there is a norm of what is good grandparenting that determines the way grandparents should get involved in childcare, it originates from the upper-classes and is not homogeneously internalized in all social categories. Parents' educational strategies and expectations regarding grandparents differ according to their social background. Second, professional, family and institutional contexts act as constraints and opportunities that influence parents' daily arrangements and lead them to modify their educational strategies as to the degree and forms of grandparents' involvement. The analysis of the articulation of these logics makes it possible to identify four types of use of grandparents for the care of young children: temporary fix care, routine care, intensive care and leisure care. This thesis also shows how grandparent involvement affects child development. It invites us to consider grandparental childcare as a broad set of practices through which inequalities can be transmitted

Full textAbstract:
Shared residence was previously viewed with suspicion by the judiciary, but following D v D [2001] a line of cases has developed, where this order is said to benefit children, firstly, by helping them feel cherished, and, secondly, by improving parental cooperation and thus protect children from the harmful effects of exposure to their conflicts. This thesis reviews available research to conclude that shared residence is so unlikely to achieve either objective where it is ordered against a parent's wishes, that the order should be restricted to families where both parents agree. Autopoietic theory is combined with feminist critique to explain the selfreferential nature of law, its tendency to prioritise children's abstract need for fathers and its inability to fully understand parents' complex disputes. The thesis compares the preconditions for, and use of, shared residence in England and in Sweden, concluding that despite better preconditions, Swedish court-imposed shared residence arrangements are unlikely to last, and can harm children by increasing their exposure to conflict. There is also, in contested cases, a worrying focus on equal rights for parents, with children who have grown up in these arrangements complaining of feeling objectified. This, combined with a growing emphasis in English case law on sending symbolic messages about status, is a strong argument against a shared residence presumption. It seems naïve to assume that new, collaborative co-parenting patterns can develop after separation merely because law coerces the adults into a particular kind of formal arrangement. The suspicion is therefore raised that law's agenda is in fact something very different: to mask familial and societal change by making post-separation families conform to a binuclear pattern which resembles the nuclear ideal not only in membership but also in its hierarchical structure.

The objective of this research was to understand the trajectories of migrant families and, especially, the life trajectories and social roles assigned and represented in society and specifically in the processes of migration, women migrants and northeastern Paraná, living in a neighborhood of the city of São Carlos, São Paulo, called city Aracy, always considering the origin, the regional culture, socioeconomic status and family arrangements. For the achievement of this study were performed in a first phase, conversations with authors who discuss the theme of migration, whether international or domestic were performed. A dialogue with theorists who portray the issue of gender, male domination and sexual division of labor, as well as authors who address the notion of family arrangements was also made. Finally, we worked with authors who discuss women's participation in migratory flows and the coordination and mobilization of kinship networks. Then, through qualitative research, interviews were conducted with 33 migrant women, using a guide and semi-structured individual interviews, which was built as advanced research and theoretical literature. The research shows that women migrants women in question, according to the socio-cultural and family, play different social roles. Family and living arrangements decisively influence the representation of these social roles. But other factors such as the origin, regional culture, the weather conditions and socioeconomic status, may influence these representations, to the point of women from the same family arrangement, act differently in society in general and in the migration process.
O objetivo desta pesquisa foi o de compreender as trajetórias das famílias migrantes e, sobretudo, as trajetórias de vida e os papéis sociais atribuídos e desempenhados no âmbito da sociedade e, especificamente, nos processos migratórios, por mulheres migrantes paranaenses e nordestinas, residentes em um bairro da cidade de São Carlos, interior de São Paulo, denominado Cidade Aracy, considerando sempre a origem, a cultura regional, a condição socioeconômica e o arranjo familiar. Para a efetivação deste estudo, foram realizados, em uma primeira fase, diálogos com autores que discutem a temática da migração, seja ela internacional ou interna. Dialogou-se ainda com teóricos que retratam a questão de gênero, a dominação masculina e a divisão sexual do trabalho, bem como com autores que abordam a noção de arranjos familiares. Finalmente, trabalhou-se com autores que discutem a participação da mulher nos fluxos migratórios e na articulação e mobilização das redes de parentesco. Em seguida, através da pesquisa qualitativa, realizaram-se entrevistas com 33 mulheres migrantes, empregando um roteiro de entrevista individual e semiestruturado, que foi construído à medida que avançava a pesquisa bibliográfica e a fundamentação teórica. A pesquisa revela que as mulheres migrantes em questão, de acordo com o contexto sociocultural e familiar, desempenham papéis sociais diferentes. A família e os arranjos familiares influenciam decisivamente no desempenho desses papéis sociais. Mas, outros fatores, como a origem, a cultura regional, a condição climática, a condição socioeconômica, podem influenciar nessas representações, ao ponto das mulheres provenientes de um mesmo arranjo familiar, atuarem de modos diferentes na sociedade em geral e no processo migratório.

Full textAbstract:
A cross-sectional survey was undertaken to examine the impact of organizational support on work-family conflict experienced by Taiwanese working women. A stress model of work and family interference was applied in the Taiwanese context; the current study examined whether the results of western studies of work-family conflict can be generalised to the Taiwanese population. The enactment of the Gender Equality of Employment Law in Taiwan in 2002 was a further impetus for the research. The study examined the effects of organizational family-friendly policies and cultural support of family responsibilities on work-family conflict and well-being.
Women (aged between 15 and 64 years) in paid employment working in three public universities in northern Taiwan formed the sample population for this research. Stratified random sampling by occupation was used to enhance representativeness. The total sample consisted of 441 participants, made up of 288 general staff and 153 academic staff. The data was collected with several tested and widely used instruments (including the Family-Friendly Policies Usage and Satisfaction Questionnaires, Work-Family Culture Questionnaire, Work-Family Conflict Scale, Job Satisfaction Questionnaire, Family Satisfaction Questionnaire, Perceived Stress Scale, and Physical Symptoms Inventory). Descriptive analysis was used to examine demographic variables and all the measures; correlation analysis was used to examine the relationships between selected research variables; T-test, chi-square test and one-way ANOVA were used to characterize the differences between groups.
Hierarchical multiple regression was performed to test the research hypotheses.
The findings showed that work-family conflict was strongly linked with lower job and family satisfaction, greater stress and more severe physical ailments. Implementing family-friendly policies and creating a supportive work environment can help working women to manage their work-family conflict and improve their health outcomes. A supportive organizational culture has been confirmed by this research as important in preventing the negative consequences of work-family conflict. However, such conflict did not predict the levels of physical symptoms. Employer-supported dependant care policies were not associated with the level of work-family conflict. In addition, organizational cultural support did not predict the usage of family-friendly policies. This study has provided evidence that some relationships could be generalised, across western and Chinese societies, between organizational support and work-family conflict, and between work-family conflict and an individual's well-being, although specificities within each cultural remain and require different methods of assessment.
In conclusion, a western theoretical model of work-family conflict was found to be acceptable and feasible to implement within the Taiwanese population, since the majority of the hypotheses were supported. This research provided valuable information for healthcare professionals, policy makers and organizations, presenting ways to help working women to manage the conflicting demands of work and family roles better.

Implementing family-friendly policies and creating a supportive work environment can help working women to manage their work-family conflict and improve their health outcomes. A supportive organizational culture has been confirmed by this research as important in preventing the negative consequences of work-family conflict. However, such conflict did not predict the levels of physical symptoms. Employer-supported dependant care policies were not associated with the level of work-family conflict. In addition, organizational cultural support did not predict the usage of family-friendly policies. This study has provided evidence that some relationships could be generalised, across western and Chinese societies, between organizational support and work-family conflict, and between work-family conflict and an individual's well-being, although specificities within each cultural remain and require different methods of assessment. In conclusion, a western theoretical model of work-family conflict was found to be acceptable and feasible to implement within the Taiwanese population, since the majority of the hypotheses were supported. This research provided valuable information for healthcare professionals, policy makers and organizations, presenting ways to help working women to manage the conflicting demands of work and family roles better.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigated patterns in, and perceptions of, labour force participation (LFP) amongst a group of mothers with dependent children. A mixed-methods (i.e. questionnaires, interviews and documentary evidence), single case study approach involving a series of three studies, was utilised, involving employees and ex-employees from the Queensland University of Technology. Using questionnaire data (N = 283), Study One explored the predictive value of seven structural (age of youngest child, education, childcare costs, wages, partner's income, number of children and social security payments) and four attitudinal (attitudes towards working mothers, sex-role attitudes, attitudes towards exclusive maternal care and career salience) factors, in a hierarchical logistic regression model using full-time / part-time work status as the dependent variable. Associations between these factors and hours worked, were also tested for a sub-sample of women with under school aged children (N = 112). Results showed that the factors leading to greater LFP for both samples were having older children, less access to social security payments and more liberal attitudes towards working mothers. Lower levels of partner's income also predicted full-time status for the larger sample and more liberal attitudes towards exclusive maternal care was associated with hours worked for women with under school aged children. Study Two explored the way in which women with under school aged children describe the influences, benefits and trade-offs associated with their LFP decisions. Analysis of data from interviews with a sub-sample of women from Study One, indicated four major categories of issues influenced LFP decisions and/or contributed to benefits or trade-offs following on from those decisions. These categories included financial issues, personal independence, work-related issues and value of maternal care. The salience of this issues varied across groups of at-home, part-time and full-time working mothers. The most important consideration for at-home women was the emphasis on caring for their children themselves, as opposed to using familial or formal childcare. Part-time women appeared to be the most satisfied with their work and parenting arrangements, because they could fulfil their roles as wives and mothers, but also benefit from spending autonomy and competence, by engaging in paid work. Full-time women reported greater opportunities in the workplace than part-time women, although they experienced substantial ambivalence about their full-time status. This conflict was ameliorated by the availability of flexible work and when partner's had reduced working hours. Based on the salience of work-related factors reported in Study Two, Study Three explored the degree of consistency between the espoused values evident in organisational work-family policy documentation and women's reported experiences of these policies (N = 24). For example, options such as flexible work arrangements and part-time work appear to promote values related to balance and integration of the work and family spheres. However, interview data suggests women's experiences of part-time work were inconsistent with assumptions about job commitment and career progression. The research extends the current understanding of the range of variables that influence maternal LFP and the processes by which LFP decisions are made. The findings are interpreted in light of a number of existing theoretical perspectives, as well as suggesting a preliminary model of decision-making that could be tested in other groups of women in future studies. The current research may also inform public policy on issues such as childcare and social security allowances and organisational human resource policy in terms of the implementation of work-family options.

In the context of recent decades, it was observed that the residence order was commonly given to the mother, and to the father only in exceptional cases. To the male parent it usually remained the right to biweekly "visits" and the child s financial support. This resulted in disencouraging the strengthening of the paternal-filial relationship. Thus, the aim of the thesis was to question whether the judicial decisions concerning the child arrangements order would effectively meet the child's best interest. Moreover, it questioned if these decisions are able to break the conflictual dynamics. The hypothesis is that in matters relating to family law and, more precisely, in the conflicts involving children and teenagers, the court decision is not the most appropriate way. The choice of the subject is justified given that currently the parental roles are no longer so strictly defined, with the women entering the labour market and, in parallel, the father's search for a more active role in their children's lives. Therefore, given the breakdown of the relationship of the parents, it must be chosen a family arrangement, covering the constitutional principles of the best interests of the child and responsible parenthood. This thesis was based in legislative, doctrinal and jurisprudential analysis, as well as a substantial part of its research conducted in England, where significant changes relating to parental responsibility have occured in recent years, which may be relevant to Brazil. The results of this study demonstrate the importance of using other means, not only the court for the maintenance and strengthening of emotional bonds due to the transformation of that nuclear family. In this sense, conflict mediation and collaborative practice can greatly assist parents in such troubled times that is the disruption of the relationship. This is another approach that seeks to focus on the responsibility of parents and common interests, rather than on the logic of seeking to blame the responsible for the relationship breakdown. Moreover, the mere enactment of laws on child arrangements order without a systemic change that involves society and the State will not provide representative advances
Na conjuntura das últimas décadas, observava-se que a guarda dos filhos era comumente determinada à mãe e ao pai somente em casos excepcionais. Ao genitor masculino cabia o direito quinzenal de visitas e o pagamento da pensão alimentícia. Isso acabava desestimulando o fortalecimento da relação paterno-filial. Diante disso, o objetivo da tese foi questionar se as decisões judiciais relativas à guarda dos filhos vão, efetivamente, ao encontro do melhor interesse da criança. E mais, se essas decisões são capazes de romper a dinâmica de conflito. A hipótese é que nas questões relativas ao Direito de Família e, mais precisamente, nos conflitos envolvendo crianças e adolescentes, a sentença judicial não é o caminho mais adequado. Justifica-se a escolha do tema, tendo em vista que atualmente os papéis parentais já não estão mais tão definidos, havendo a inserção da mulher no mercado de trabalho e, paralelamente, a busca do pai por uma participação mais ativa na vida de seus filhos. Por isso, diante da ruptura do relacionamento dos genitores, é preciso escolher um arranjo familiar que contemple os princípios constitucionais do melhor interesse da criança e da paternidade responsável. Essa tese contou com a apreciação normativa, doutrinária e jurisprudencial, além de pesquisas realizadas na Inglaterra, onde mudanças expressivas relativas à autoridade parental ocorreram nos últimos anos, as quais, este trabalho argumenta, podem ser relevantes para o Brasil. Os resultados desse estudo demonstram a importância da utilização de outros meios, que não somente o judicial, para a manutenção e fortalecimento dos laços afetivos diante da transformação do núcleo familiar. Nesse sentido, a mediação de conflitos e as práticas colaborativas podem auxiliar sobremaneira os genitores no período tão conturbado que é o rompimento do relacionamento. Trata-se de uma outra abordagem que procura focar na responsabilização dos pais e nos interesses comuns, ao invés da lógica de procurar culpados pelo término do relacionamento. Ademais, a simples promulgação de leis sobre a guarda dos filhos, sem uma mudança sistêmica que passe pela sociedade e pelo Estado, não proporcionará avanços representativos

The effort to harmonize work self-realization with the care of children brings parents in the Czech Republic number of problems. Gender stereotypes cause that it is mainly women who must cope with the double load. This thesis deals with the most problematic areas such as the lack of alternative employment or small extension of alternative care for childern. The aim is to define the reasons for this and propose possible solutions that makes easier harmonzation of family and work in the Czech Republic.

"The effects of fly-in/fly-out commute arrangements and extended working hours on the stress, lifestyle, relationships and health characteristics of Western Australian mining employees and their partners." University of Western Australia. School of Anatomy and Human Biology, 2010. http://theses.library.uwa.edu.au/adt-WU2010.0018.
Full textAbstract:
The Western Australian (WA) mining industry directly employs approximately 56,000 people. Almost half work Fly-in/Fly-out commute arrangements (FIFO, e.g. employees living in a city are flown to a remote worksite where they live and work during their work roster) and approximately half work more than 50 hours per week, on average. There are many anecdotal claims that FIFO has negative impacts on WA mining employees, leading to an elevated risk of high stress levels, depression, binge drinking, recreational drug use and relationship break-ups. Previous studies found FIFO can be stressful, and have negative impacts on WA employees 'and partners' lifestyles and relationships. This project investigated the long-term (Study One) and short-term (Study Two) impacts of FIFO and extended working hours on a representative sample of WA FIFO mining employees and partners. In Study One, a total of 222 FIFO and Daily Commute (DC) mining employees and partners completed an anonymous questionnaire investigating long-term impacts on work satisfaction, lifestyle, relationships and health. A subgroup of 32 Study One FIFO employees and partners also participated in Study Two; a detailed study of the short-term impacts of FIFO and extended working hours and how these impacts fluctuate in intensity during the mining roster. Study Two participants completed a diary and provided saliva samples each day throughout a complete mining roster. The main findings of the study were that FIFO and extended working hours had negative impacts on employees work satisfaction and FIFO was frequently reported to be disruptive to employees 'and partners' lifestyle, in the long-term. However, FIFO and extended working hours did not lead to poor quality relationships, high stress levels or poor health, on average in the long-term; there were generally no significant differences in these characteristics between FIFO and DC employees, or between the FIFO sample and the wider community. There were minor differences between FIFO and DC employees in long-term health characteristics, and Study One employees had similar, or in some cases poorer health outcomes than other community samples.

nÃo hÃO avanÃo das tecnologias e o aprimoramento organizacional de caracterÃsticas socioeconÃmicas em forma de microdados por instituiÃÃes especializadas fez avanÃar estudos que combinam o uso da econometria e da anÃlise econÃmica com Ãnfase nos aspectos microeconÃmicos e/ou comportamentais dos indivÃduos dando origem ao que à conhecido como microeconometria. Nesse contexto, a presente Tese se propÃe a analisar por meio de um compÃndio de estudos na Ãrea de microeconometria como determinados atributos, caracterÃsticas e fatores circunstanciais impactam direta ou indiretamente nas atividades econÃmicas exercidas ou a serem exercidas pelos indivÃduos. O foco principal à o mercado de trabalho atravÃs principalmente do efeito ou dos possÃveis efeitos idiossincrÃticos em termos valorativos. O primeiro capÃtulo procura jogar luz na construÃÃo de mÃtricas de atratividade da mulher brasileira fazendo uso dos dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Demografia e SaÃde da CrianÃa e da Mulher (PNDS) de 2006 do Centro Brasileiro de AnÃlise e Planejamento (CEBRAP). Para tanto, foram elencadas medidas antropomÃtricas de altura, peso, cintura e Ãndice de massa corporal (IMC) mediante seus impactos nos salÃrios das mulheres. Alguns resultados favorecem as proxies aqui construÃdas, podendo-se destacar, em particular, a altura como medida de impacto nos retornos laborais. Ainda dentro do contexto do mercado de trabalho, o segundo capÃtulo objetiva analisar os diferenciais salariais entre cÃnjuges do mesmo sexo e de sexo diferente, isto Ã, entre casais homossexuais em relaÃÃo aos heterossexuais. Para isso, utilizou-se da nova metodologia de identificaÃÃo dos novos arranjos familiares do CENSO 2010 sob a Ãtica de um enfoque regional a partir de trÃs estados brasileiros com caracterÃsticas distintas: SÃo Paulo, Rio de Janeiro e CearÃ. Seguindo a construÃÃo teÃrica do modelo de Becker (1991), investigou-se diferenÃas alocativas na produÃÃo domÃstica e nas atividades de mercado. Outras hipÃteses foram aventadas tendo como base as normas do contexto social considerando suas influÃncias nas preferÃncias e hÃbitos de vida das pessoas, de acordo com Akerlof e Kranton (2000). Sob esse prisma, a hipÃtese de autosseleÃÃo tambÃm à levantada considerando que aqueles de atitudes mais liberais tendem a declarar de maneira mais espontÃnea outras modalidades de preferÃncias sexuais, segundo a visÃo de Almeida (2007). No que tange ao diferencial de remuneraÃÃo, mesmo apÃs a inclusÃo de caracterÃsticas observadas e controle de seleÃÃo, persistiram diferenÃas salariais estatisticamente significante com relaÃÃo à escolha sexual, principalmente a favor dos homens gays via-Ã-vis aos homens heterossexuais. O terceiro e Ãltimo capÃtulo parte da premissa de que o desenvolvimento das mais diversas habilidades de um indivÃduo pode muitas vezes està associada à desigualdade de acesso a um conjunto de oportunidades durante a infÃncia tanto em razÃo das escolhas sociais da sociedade a qual ele pertence como tambÃm de circunstÃncias que estejam fora de seu controle ao nascer. Nesses termos, e objetivando a projeÃÃo de polÃticas pÃblicas de longo prazo, foi desenvolvido o Ãndice de Oportunidade Humana (IOH), indicador sÃntese da cobertura de bens e serviÃos bÃsicos para o bem-estar das crianÃas a partir de parÃmetros prÃ-determinados. Os dados utilizados sÃo da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de DomicÃlios (PNAD) do IBGE para todo o Brasil nos anos de 2001-2011. Foram elencados oito indicadores de serviÃos bÃsicos sendo cinco de dimensÃo habitacional e trÃs de dimensÃo educacional a partir de sete variÃveis de circunstÃncias. Os resultados mostram alÃm de uma heterogeneidade das oportunidades nas taxas de cobertura, uma ampliaÃÃo da rede de acesso, nÃo obstante diferenÃas entre os grupos de distintas circunstÃncias.

Shih, Yao-Chi. "Living alone and subsequent living arrangement transitions among older Americans." Thesis, University of Massachusetts Boston, 2016. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10118425.
Full textAbstract:
Past research often considers living alone as a risk factor for older persons. In fact, adverse health outcomes are associated with living arrangement transitions, suggesting a need to consider the dynamic process of living arrangements. Using eight waves of the Health and Retirement Study (1998–2012), this study examines three research questions: (1) Do older Americans’ living arrangements exhibit a pattern of sequence? (2) What are implications of living arrangements at particular older ages on life expectancy? (3) What factors predict transitions out of a living alone arrangement?
The first analysis displays and classifies ordered patterns of living arrangements over time. Baseline living arrangements have a substantial influence on subsequent transitions. Major patterns of women’s living arrangement sequences are more diverse than those for men. In particular, living alone is both the major living arrangements at baseline or intermediately after baseline. These results suggest the importance of the living arrangement status at old ages in relation to subsequent living arrangements over time.
Next, multistate life tables are estimated for calculating life expectancy in total and among distinct living arrangements. While the expected percentage of time spent living alone for men increases with age, about half of women’s total life expectancy at any ages is spent living alone. Older persons living alone do not have shorter life expectancies than those in co-residential living arrangements, particularly among women. This suggests a selection process in which less robust older persons tend to transition to other living arrangements or die at younger ages.
Lastly, discrete-time event history models are used to examine factors associated with transitioning from living alone. Sentinel health events and poorer functional status are associated with an increased risk of death, and, to a lesser extent, a subsequent transition to co-residence or institutionalization. Analyses of transitions from living alone measured concurrently with changes in functional status suggest that many transitions may be immediate reactions to a recent health decline rather than adjustments following a progressive health decline. In either case, subsequent co-residence does not appear to be a common adaptation for many older adults who live alone with increased needs for care.

Full textAbstract:
La complexite de la transmission de l'exploitation agricole, qui est une entreprise, n'a rien a envier au secteur commercial ou industriel. Admettre que la transmission se realise grace a des arrangements de famille, c'est souligner, a la fois, une certaine inaptitude du droit patrimonial a apprehender, dans sa globalite, le phenomene et l'existence d'une liberte familiale (volonte collective) qui tente de concilier les interets des membres dela famille (volontes individuelles), parfois contradictoires, avec le maintien economique de l'exploitation. L'approche classique qui consiste a etudier le transfert de l'exploitation d'une generation a l'autre, par l'etude trop exclusive des regles de devolution legale se revele depassee. En la matiere, seule une etude renouvelee, a partir des aspirations de chacun des membres de la famille, permet de comprendre les raisons reelles qui guident les procedes juridiques utilises (arrangements de famille) et de mettre en exergue les choix d'une politique d'installation. Car face aux mutations economiques et sociales que connait l'agriculture, la transmission d'une exploitation agricole n'est plus seulement un acte domestique mais devient de plusen plus un acte dependant de la politique de l'amenagement du territoire. Ainsi les lois d'orientation agricole passees (en 1960, 1980, et 1999) accentuent de plus en plus le particularisme des successions rurales en faisant prevaloir les imperatifs economiques relevant d'une politique d'installation au detriment des principes defendus par le droit successoral classique. Malgre tout l'objectif familial reste le meme : il s'agit toujours de transmettre a la fois le patrimoine et l'activite a la generation montante. Pourtant les procedes utilises face aux bouleversements economiques ont evolue. Les arrangements familiaux beneficient d'une liberalisation continue du droit civil classique qui leur laisse une large liberte de manoeuvre. Ils sont beaucoup plus influences par les mesures incitatives de l'etat d'origines diverses (financieres, fiscales, structurelles) qui contribuent a faconner l'existence d'un droit successoral proprement rural.

Full textAbstract:
This study deals with the impact of industrialisation and urbanisation on the living conditions of aged men and women. By studying labour force participation, savings and pensions, the role of the family, and the extent of dependency of aged men and women from a gender and class perspective, continuities and changes between pre-industrial and industrial times are examined. The main focus is placed on the situation of elderly persons living in the town of Sundsvall between 1830 and 1930. This town became the commercial centre of one of the largest saw-mill districts in the world at the end of the nineteenth century. The residence patterns of old men and women in Sundsvall are also compared with those in two other Swedish industrialised urban areas; the capital Stockholm and the textile centre Norrköping. According to modernisation theorists, industrialisation and urbanisation led to an increase in dependency in old age, due to weakening family ties and unemployment. This study shows the complexity of the issue. It is true that some sources reveal a declining proportion of men participating in the labour force at the very end of the period of observation, but this was primarily due to the introduction of the national pension system in 1914. On the other hand, other records show a stability or even an increasing proportion of elderly men and women in the labour market. By contrast with previous studies of the residence patterns of aged persons, this dissertation shows a very high percentage of elderly women living alone in all three urban areas selected for study. However, this was not solely a sign of isolation, since the vast majority of those elderly living in households of their own had children residing in the vicinity. Furthermore, many old men and women shared households with their children, although this pattern was less common among the working class. The role of off-spring appears to have been important both in pre-industrial and industrial times. The residence patterns of the urban elderly were probably influenced by traditional rural living arrangements, to the extent that old couples and their married children often lived close to each other but usually maintained households of their own. Old parents and their adult children might have preferred to live in separate households instead of crowding in with each other. The unmarried elderly were probably most affected by the transformations taking place at the end of the nineteenth century.
