Abstract:
<p>“La movilidad inclusiva” es parte de las prioridades políticas definidas por numerosos países europeos para referirse a la dimensión social del transporte o las políticas de movilidad cotidiana. De forma general, la inclusión se refiere a la cohesión social, que ha sido uno de los objetivos declarados de la Unión Europea desde el inicio de los años 2000. Como mecanismo para facilitar el acceso a las oportunidades (empleo, comercio, servicios, etc.), la movilidad individual es actualmente considerada un prerrequisito necesario para la participación de las personas en las actividades sociales. En contraste, la inmovilidad o “ausencia de movilidad” sería un factor de exclusión social. Sin embargo, en razón de la ambigüedad de la movilidad, que puede considerarse un recurso esencial (facilitador de acceso a oportunidades en el contexto de una dispersión mayor de las actividades) o un coste (monetario, medioambiental, físico); un derecho básico o un precepto político para movilidad (los objetivos políticos de la movilidad pueden esconder algunas contradicciones). Este artículo se concentra en diferentes problemáticas en relación a la movilidad inclusiva en Europa. Para empezar, presentamos cómo el lema de la “movilidad inclusiva” es utilizado en los documentos oficiales de la Comisión Europea. Posteriormente, se analiza cómo la cuestión de la movilidad inclusiva ha emergido en Francia y en el Reino Unido, en relación a la generalización del problema de la exclusión social. Se completará esta visión de políticas públicas ofreciendo un panorama de las desigualdades sociales en relación a la movilidad cotidiana en diferentes países europeos. Finalmente, se argumenta la necesidad de evolucionar desde una prioridad política de la movilidad inclusiva hacia la accesibilidad inclusiva, considerando que las políticas de movilidad, como elemento favorecedor de la dispersión de las actividades, pueden incrementar la presión sobre los grupos sociales desfavorecidos para ser móviles.</p><p><strong>Recibido</strong>: 09 enero 2017<br /><strong>Aceptado</strong>: 06 marzo 2017<br /><strong>Publicación en línea</strong><span>: 02 mayo 2017</span></p>

Abstract:
Municipalities are concerned with addressing social issues such as mobility inclusion and safety by increasing access to transport facilities and services for all groups in society to create equitable and equal access for all citizens. Moreover, the public transportation systems provided in cities have to be inclusive and safe, driven by emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based services that provide personalized recommendation to improve mobility inclusion and safety for all citizens in society, especially vulnerable road users such as senior citizens or older people. But at the moment, there are few studies that have investigated how municipalities can provide inclusive and safe public transportation in general and for senior citizens, particularly those aged 65 and above. Therefore, this study aimed to examine how to provide inclusive and safe mobility for senior citizens to improve out-of-home mobility services for senior citizens towards age-friendly cities and communities. Accordingly, a systematic literature review grounded on secondary data was adopted to investigate inclusive and safe mobility needs for senior citizens. The data were collected from previous research and existing documents, and a descriptive data analysis was carried out to provide insights on urban transportation policies related to senior citizens. Furthermore, case studies were adopted to present polices and strategies employed in Norway, Canada, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Northern Ireland to identify measures employed to address the public transportation needs of an aging society, focusing on the provision of inclusive and safe mobility to senior citizens. Further findings from this study included the possible use of emerging technologies such as AI-based machine learning for inclusive and safe mobility.

Abstract:
Academic mobility of students with disabilities is a gap in studies of inclusion in higher education. Meanwhile, academic mobility is an effective resource for shaping the key skills of the 21st century, the development of subjectivity, socialization and professionalization. Therefore, the inclusion of persons with disabilities in various forms of academic mobility is important for their success and social inclusion. The aim of the study is to identify the relationship between disability and nosology and involvement in academic mobility, as well as scientific (social) projects and networks. The study was based on the hypothesis of a direct link between health status and involvement in academic mobility. The sample included 1,142 university students from the Tyumen region, including 50 — with disabilities, 1092 — without disabilities. A comparative analysis of the components of academic mobility of students with and without disabilities revealed a higher level of readiness and involvement of students with disabilities in academic mobility and networks. With this we emphasize that 92% of students with disabilities do not participate in academic mobility programs, 68% have never participated in competitive activities (projects, grants), 44% do not belong to student communities, 20% do not maintain systemic ties with students of other universities. But these figures are even lower for students without disabilities. The gap between students' readiness for academic mobility and the lack of its infrastructure was revealed. The analysis of theoretical approaches revealed significant gaps in scientific knowledge of academic mobility of students with disabilities, its scale, dynamics, best practices, its psychological factors and the impact on the development of subjectivity, socialization and professionalization. We must make an inclusive breakthrough in higher education through the formation of a comfortable infrastructure of academic mobility as an organic part of an inclusive culture in higher education, ensuring the inclusion for everyone.

Abstract:
La promulgazione della legge 170/10 ha sancito un importante cambiamento per gli studenti con Disturbi Specifici di Apprendimento e ha aperto loro la strada per un percorso di inclusione anche in ambito universitario. L’esperienza italiana, si inserisce, tuttavia, in un contesto di notevole frammentazione legislativa e educativa che caratterizza la Comunità Europea. Le differenze fra paesi appartenenti alla comunità europea sia nel riconoscimento, sia nel trattamento dei Disturbi Specifici di Apprendimento rischiano di rappresentare un ostacolo alla piena inclusione degli studenti DSA, specialmente per quanto riguarda la mobilità per motivi di studio e formazione. Specific learning Disabilities: ideas for an inclusive university within the European Community The enactment of Law 170/10 has marked a major change for students with Specific Learning Disabilities, paving the way to their inclusion in higher education environments. However, the Italian experience unfolds in a context of legislative and educational fragmentation: differences between the EC countries in both the diagnostic path and treatment of SLD may represent an obstacle to the full inclusion of SLD students, especially concerning mobility for study and training purposes.

Abstract:
Although many studies are currently examining the city of proximity as a way to promote sustainable and environmentally friendly cities, few consider it meaningful to achieve an “inclusive” mobility model for people of all ages and abilities, including people with disabilities, children, or the elderly. This literature review paper focuses on the extent to which the city of proximity can provide inclusive mobility and reduce inequalities in the urban scene, thus achieving social sustainability. Out of the 256 references analysed under an integrative review methodology, only 10 delivered solid results. One of the main contributions of this paper is an indicator and sub-indicator system to improve the integrative methodology in urban studies, which led to the identification of several incoherencies in proximity models in terms of accessibility and design for all risking fostering urban with these policies. Although the mentioning of vulnerable collectives may mean a rise in inclusion awareness, one of the most relevant outputs of this paper is the lack of specific measures to revert the disadvantageous situations that conventional mobility planning delivers, as well as the neglection to use proximity actions to promote inclusive and socially resilient urban cities.

Wootton, Gayle. "Inclusive urban mobility : participation, rights and decision-making in transport planning." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2018. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/116529/.
Abstract:
The aim of this research is to combine theories of public participation and rights-based approaches to governance with discourses on social exclusion and transport disadvantage explored through a case study of a planned mass public transport system in a city adopting a rights-based approach to participatory governance. It does so by using a mixed-method case study approach, utilising qualitative research methods. Quito in Ecuador provided the natural choice for the case study given its rights-based approach to participatory governance determined through the Constitution of 2008 and the Law of Citizen Participation (2010), and shortly after receiving the devolved responsibility for urban planning and transport, the city government took the decision to install a metro line in the city centre. The research addressed three research questions. First, it examined the extent to which transport related social exclusion is intensified by existing practices of transport planning and operation. Second, it looked at the potential benefit of a rights-based approach to participatory governance. Third, it examined how a conceptualised understanding of transport-related social exclusion was able to describe the phenomenon as it exists in Quito, and through a framework devised from the literature to evaluate participatory activities, it considered both the activities of the city government in engaging the public, alongside the response received from citizens and civil society organisations. The research concluded that a rights-based approaches to participation in decision-making can address transport-related social exclusion and mobility challenges. Although Quito’s metro project fell into the ‘prepare-reveal-defend’ model of decision making, there were genuine attempts by the city government to initiate participation. Some initiatives took place after the decision was made, and others were overly complex i.e. the formulaic process of the ‘Offering of Accounts’. The research also determined that cultural change is required for residents to embrace a new open government, and that civil society organisations have a key role to play on fostering better participatory processes, and ultimately decision-making.

Abstract:
Dissertação de Mestrado para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Design de Produto, apresentada na Universidade de Lisboa - Faculdade de Arquitectura.Todas as pessoas com deficiência têm direitos e é necessário adaptar a sociedade às suas necessidades e não o oposto. Se as pessoas sem qualquer tipo de falha nos 5 sentidos estão expostas a perigos diversos, as pessoas que tenham défice de um deles, verão agravados nas suas vidas riscos e factores de perigo. Este projecto nasce assim da identificação de um problema: os perigos que as pessoas clinicamentecegas e surdas enfrentam no espaço público. O interesse por esta área temática deveu-se ao contacto que surgiu com pessoas portadoras de deficiência auditiva e visual. O pensamento iminente de “como viverão elas se não ouvem?”, “que perigos e limitações encontram se não vêm?”, “como recebem informações sobre o espaço que os rodeia?”, bem como outras questões, levaram à escolha deste assunto. O objectivo é criar um sistema integrado que possa ajudar a minimizar o desconforto e os riscos com que as pessoas com estas limitações se confrontam no ambiente urbano. Pretende-se aumentar a eficiência na mobilidade das pessoas em termos de autonomia e segurança. Ambicionou-se criar um conjunto de produtos e serviços de informação para o espaço urbano adaptados às necessidades das pessoas com deficiência auditiva e visual e que assegurará de alguma maneira uma maior segurança e mobilidade nas travessias pedonais. Espera-se igualmente que este produto, devido ao seu design inclusivo, possa ajudar todos os utilizadores dos espaços públicos. A suportar este sistema está um projecto de investigação, que vai desde uma parte teórica ao desenvolvimento de um sub-produto de um sistema que é esboçado neste estudo. Realizaram-se diversas entrevistas a pessoas que sofrem destas limitações e também se colocou o produto à experiência destas, de maneira a que partilhassem as suas opiniões, necessidades e expectativas. Os resultados obtidos foram meticulosamente analisados e tornaram-se fundamentais para o bom desenvolvimento da dissertação, tendo sido na sua grande maioria bastante positivos.
ABSTRACT: Every disabled person has its rights and it is necessary to adapt our society to its needs and not the opposite. If people without one flaw in any of the 5 senses are exposed to several dangers, people with a deficit in one of them will see the dangers and risk factors intensified on their daily lives. Thus, this project comes from the identification of a problem faced by clinically blind and deaf people in urban space. The interest for this theme is given to the contact with people who carry hearing and visual disability. The imminent thought of “how will they live without istening?”, “what are the limitations they face if they do not see?”, “how do they receive information about their surrounding?” as well as other pending questions, led to the choice of this subject. The objective is to create an integrated system of products that can minimize discomfort and the risks people with these limitations come across in the urban environment. It is intended for the efficiency in mobility to be raised, displaying safety and self-sufficiency. It was aspired to create a set of products and information services for the urban environment adapted to the needs of people with hearing and visual disability that will assure better mobility regarding safety in crosswalks. It is hoped that this product will equally help every user of public spaces, given its inclusive character and design. Supporting this system and sub-product is an investigation project, from a theoretical part to the development of a sub-product of a system, sketched in this study. Several interviews were completed together with people who suffer from these limitations as they experienced the final product, so that opinions, requirements and expectations could be shared. The obtained results were thoroughly analysed and became fundamental for the good development of the dissertation and have been, in their wide majority, rather positive.

Abstract:
En Europe, comme aux États-Unis, l'existence au sein de nos villes de quartiers qui concentrent les difficultés sociales fait l'objet d'une attention particulière de la part de la puissance publique. Quartiers d'habitats sociaux d'après-guerre, ghettos noirs américains, centres-villes autrefois dynamiques, les formes que prennent ces quartiers sont multiples et font l'objet dans la plupart des pays de programmes spécifiques. En France, l'action sur ces quartiers porte le nom de Politique de la Ville. Les différents programmes mis en place considèrent que la concentration spatiale de la pauvreté est à la source des désordres observés. Guidée par cet a priori, la puissance publique n'a cessé de vouloir augmenter la mixité sociale de ces quartiers en diversifiant le parc de logements et le peuplement.En dépit des sommes engagées, le bilan de la politique de la ville est dit contrasté et difficile à évaluer. Se pourrait-il que l'amélioration de la situation de ces quartiers par l'accroissement de leur mixité soit une impasse ? Est-il possible d'améliorer plus efficacement le sort des habitants des quartiers qui concentrent la pauvreté par une politique d'accroissement de la mobilité des individus ? Cette interrogation constitue le cœur de cette thèse qui se compose de trois chapitres.Le premier chapitre est une discussion méthodologique traitant principalement de l'objectif que devrait poursuivre une telle politique. Nous montrons qu'une politique de mobilité, si elle se traduit par une amélioration de l'accessibilité aux emplois, peut constituer une politique alternative convaincante. Mais nous montrons également que le lien entre bonne accessibilité aux emplois et faible taux de chômage n'est pas une évidence.Le deuxième chapitre est consacré au développement d'un modèle urbain complexe permettant de comprendre les effets d'une modification de l'offre de transport sur l'organisation d'une ville dans un contexte de dispersion des emplois et d'absence de plein-emploi chez les travailleurs peu qualifiés. Nous proposons des mécanismes originaux sur la distance aux emplois et la localisation du chômage permettant d'obtenir une organisation de la ville proche de celle observée empiriquement sur quelques agglomérations françaises. Le principal enseignement en est qu'une bonne accessibilité aux emplois peut s'accompagner d'une augmentation du taux de chômage, car le quartier devient attractif pour les demandeurs d'emplois.Le troisième et dernier chapitre est une analyse empirique et statistique visant à confronter les mécanismes utilisés dans le deuxième chapitre aux données réelles des régions Hauts-de-France et Île-de-France. Nous définissons et calculons deux indicateurs d'accessibilité aux emplois dont l'un représente le niveau de tension du marché de l'emploi. Nous utilisons ces indicateurs, ainsi qu'un ensemble de variables de contrôles, pour modéliser le taux de chômage des quartiers à l'aide d'un modèle à dépendance spatiale du terme d'erreur et équations simultanées (SUR-SEM). Un accroissement de l'accessibilité aux emplois aura tendance à faire augmenter le taux de chômage, car le quartier devient plus attractif pour les chômeurs. Mais si cette accessibilité se traduit par une baisse du niveau de tension du marché de l'emploi, elle se traduira au contraire par une baisse du taux de chômage.Il s'avère que la composition du parc de logements a un impact beaucoup plus important sur le niveau de chômage d'un quartier que son niveau d'accessibilité aux emplois. Mais il n'y a aucune raison de penser que cette baisse du chômage soit valable à l'échelle de la ville dans son ensemble. La pauvreté est pour ainsi dire diluée. Une diminution du niveau de tension sur le marché de l'emploi par l'amélioration de la mobilité des personnes, à l'inverse, conduira à une baisse du taux de chômage à l'échelle du quartier et de la villeIn Europe, as in the United States, public authorities pay particular attention to the existence within our cities of neighborhoods that concentrate social problems. Post-war social housing estates, American black ghettos, formerly dynamic city centers - these neighborhoods take many forms and are the focus of specific programs in most countries. In France, action in these areas is known as "Politique de la Ville". The various programs put in place consider that the spatial concentration of poverty is at the root of the disorders observed. Guided by this premise, the public authorities have consistently sought to increase the social mix in these neighborhoods by diversifying the housing stock and population.Despite the sums involved, the results of the urban policy are mixed and difficult to assess. Could it be that improving the situation in these neighborhoods by increasing their social mix is a dead end? Is it possible to improve the lot of residents in neighborhoods where poverty is concentrated more effectively through a policy of increasing individual mobility? This question forms the core of this thesis, which is divided into three chapters.The first chapter is a methodological discussion dealing mainly with the objective that such a policy should pursue. We show that a mobility policy, if it results in improved accessibility to jobs, can be a convincing alternative policy. But we also show that the link between good job accessibility and low unemployment is not self-evident.The second chapter is devoted to the development of a complex urban model to understand the effects of a change in transport supply on the organization of a city in a context of job dispersion and lack of full employment among low-skilled workers. We propose original mechanisms for the distance to jobs and the location of unemployment, enabling us to obtain a city organization close to that observed empirically in a number of French conurbations. The main lesson is that good accessibility to jobs can be accompanied by an increase in the unemployment rate, as the neighborhood becomes attractive to job-seekers.The third and final chapter is an empirical and statistical analysis designed to compare the mechanisms used in the second chapter with real data from the Hauts-de-France and Île-de-France regions. We define and calculate two indicators of job accessibility, one of which represents the level of tension in the job market. We use these indicators, along with a set of control variables, to model the neighborhood unemployment rate using a simultaneous equation error term spatial dependence model (SUR-SEM). An increase in job accessibility will tend to raise the unemployment rate, as the neighborhood becomes more attractive to the unemployed. But if this accessibility translates into a lower level of tension in the job market, it will, on the contrary, translate into a lower unemployment rate.It turns out that the composition of the housing stock has a far greater impact on a neighborhood's unemployment level than its level of accessibility to jobs. But there's no reason to believe that this drop in unemployment is valid for the city as a whole. Poverty is diluted, so to speak. A reduction in the level of tension on the job market by improving people's mobility, on the other hand, will lead to a fall in the unemployment rate at both neighborhood and city level

Abstract:
Esta dissertação apresenta contribuições no design de cadeira de rodas como sistema de mobilidade infantil. A proposta visa favorecer as relações interpessoais existentes nos contextos escolares. Em um primeiro momento, a pesquisa obteve dados a respeito de patentes como indicadores de inovação tecnológica. Utilizou-se esse recurso como estratégia de prospecção para a conceituação do Estado da Arte. Ao verificar as informações contidas nas patentes, investigou-se, também, o grau de inventividade existente nos produtos atuais. A ideia foi a de aplicar as melhores práticas no objeto em questão. Posteriormente, efetuou-se um estudo etnográfico para analisar o cotidiano de uma criança com deficiência física, matriculada na Rede Municipal de Educação de Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. Com isso, buscou-se compreender o ambiente a ser trabalhado e coletar informações com familiares e profissionais que lidam com essa criança. Paralelo à realização do estudo, foi utilizado um modelo de referência para a estruturação de um recurso assistivo, praticando intensamente as fases de Planejamento, Projeto Informacional, Projeto Conceitual e Projeto Detalhado, em cooperação com a "voz do usuário" e de seus cuidadores. Ainda na fase conceitual, foi desenvolvida uma solução orientada ao contexto escolar, dedicada às séries iniciais. Como desfecho da presente pesquisa, tem-se o desenvolvimento de uma cadeira de rodas infantil, culminando com a confecção de um protótipo que apresenta diferenciais relacionados à mobilidade e interação.This dissertation presents some contributions to the design of the wheelchair as a children’s mobility system. The proposal aims at facilitating the interpersonal relations that take place in the school environment. At an early stage, the research obtained data related to patents as technological innovation indicators. This resource was used as a prospecting strategy for creating the State of the Art concept. By checking the information contained in the patents, the level of inventiveness of current products was investigated as well. The idea was to apply the best practices to the object in question. Later, an ethnographic research was conducted in order to analyze the daily life of a child with physical disabilities attending the Municipal Education System of Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. Hence, we sought to understand the setting to be worked on and to collect information from relatives and professionals who deal with this child. Along with the development of this study, a model of reference for the structuring of an assistive resource was used, with an intensive practice of the stages of Planning, Information Project, Conceptual Project and Detailed Project, in cooperation with the “user’s voice” and his caretakers. Still at the conceptual stage, a solution oriented towards the school environment was developed, aimed at the early grades of primary school. The outcome of the present research is the development of a pediatric wheelchair, ending in the production of a prototype that features distinguished improvements related to mobility and interaction.

Abstract:
Le travail de thèse présenté porte sur l'observation de la pratique opérationelle del'intercompréhension selon une perspective de recherche inhabituelle. En effet, si sonpotentiel en tant qu'approche plurilingue de l'enseignement des langues étrangères estdésormais largement reconnu, l'apport de l'intercompréhension en tant que stratégie demédiation dans des espaces de diversité linguistique reste fortement sous exploré. Afin derelever le défi lancé par le 7ème projet de recherche MIME – mobilité et inclusion dans uneEurope multilingue, le champ d'application de l'intercompréhension a été élargi et testé dansdes environnements multilingues spontanés, résultant de la mobilité des citoyens européensavec une attention particulière accordée aux rapports d'inclusion des individus mobiles. Enparticulier, le terrain d'essai de cette étude a été la communication des familles issues del'adoption à l'international comme exemple de communautés qui se construisent à partir dudéplacement de leur barycentre géographique, culturel et linguistique. La méthodologieutilisée dans notre recherche a été organisée selon une structure "à pyramide inversée" quipermet d'observer le phénomène en question selon deux perspectives complémentaires : laperspective émique de l'entretien semi-structurée et la perspective étique de l'observationdirecte. D'après nos résultats, dans un cadre de langues voisines et apparentées,l'intercompréhension émerge spontanément à la fois comme solution adaptative pourcontourner les défis imposés par la diversité linguistique et, ce qui est le plus important,comme espace communicatif orienté vers l'inclusion de l'enfant et de sa langue d'origine.Cette recherche montre tout l'intérêt d'élargir l'observation des applications del'intercompréhension dans l'expérience complexe et évolutive de la mobilité et de favoriser samise en oeuvre des locuteurs au moyen d'une formation ciblée aux contextes plurielsThe study on which the following thesis is based focuses on discussing intercomprehensionfrom an unusual research perspective. Indeed, while its potential as a multilingual approach toforeign language teaching is now widely recognized, the value of intercomprehension as amediation strategy in contexts of linguistic diversity remains largely under-explored. In orderto meet the challenge of the 7th research project MIME - Mobility and inclusion inmultilingual Europe, the scope of intercomprehension has been broadened and tested inspontaneous multilingual environments, that were shaped by the mobility of Europeancitizens, with particular focus on mechanisms of inclusion for mobile individuals. Inparticular, the test case of this study has been the communication of international adoptivefamilies, which are examples of communities that are built on the reorganization ofgeographical, cultural and linguistic references. The methodology used in our research wasorganized according to an "inverted pyramid" structure that makes it possible to observe thephenomenon in question according to two complementary perspectives: the emic perspectiveof the semi-structured interview and the etic perspective of direct observation. According toour results, in a framework of mutually intelligible languages, intercomprehension emergesspontaneously both as an adaptive solution to overcome the challenges imposed by linguisticdiversity and, more importantly, as a communicative space oriented greatly towards theinclusion of the child and his or her original language. This research shows the value ofexpanding research into the applications of intercomprehension in the complex and evolvingexperience of mobility and of promoting its informed implementation among speakersthrough targeted training in plural contexts

Abstract:
When exploring an original and relevant contribution to the continuing development of future transportation solutions, the author was inspired by the unbalanced influence mankind has on our planet earth. Amongst other effects of climate change, sea level is rising and will by the end of this century resultin uninhabitable areas. With this design project, the author aimed at emitting a positive answer to climate change; showing how with a different way of thinking the water no longer has to been seen as a problem but instead as a solution. Forming a basic understanding of how people in the future could live on water required a broad exploration of trends which are currently influencing society and living environment needs. The aging population and the need for smaller living and shared facilities were some of the conclusions of this research, which in collaboration with an architect were translated into a hypothetical floating village plan. Far future scenario planning proved to be a process with many uncertainties, however by empirically filling in the blanks an image emerged which provided a sufficient foundation for the development of potential mobility and transportation opportunities. A living environment where houses and facilities are separated from each other by a barrier (the water), presented challenges for its inhabitants in regards to mobility yet unknown in life as we know on land. The transportation solution the author is putting forward is a shared autonomous shuttle system, seamlessly integrated with the floating architecture and infrastructure, which make the inhabitants perceive the water not as a barrier. The fact that in a floating village architecture and infrastructure move along with the fluctuating water level just like the water transport, allowed for rethinking the archetype of a boat and designing a flush and stable ingress/egress experience. Aesthetic inspiration was found in nature; by analyzing the stance of the water strider insect, a stable looking vehicle was realized which conveys trust towards its users. In short, it has been a degree topic containing a multi-faceted challenge from which the author at the beginning of the project could not foresee the impact.

Lindgren, Joakim. "Spaces, mobilities and youth biographies in the New Sweden : Studies on education governance and social inclusion and exclusion." Doctoral thesis, Umeå universitet, Pedagogiska institutionen, 2010. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:umu:diva-32542.
Abstract:
The main theme of this thesis is the relation between education governance and social inclusion and exclusion. Overall the thesis is based on a life history approach were biographical interviews with young people are complemented with other contextual data such as survey data, longitudinal statistics, interviews with local politicians and school actors and local reports. Data were generated in three Swedish areas: a rural area in the North, an advantaged segregated area, and a disadvantaged segregated area in the South. The thesis consists of four articles that use the concepts of biography, space, and mobility. Article 1. examines the increasing usage of biographical registers in school. It suggests that biography as a form of education governance serves to construct the students as both objects for assessment and as a relay for continuous self-assessment. As such, this is a socio-political technology that is important to acknowledge in order to understand processes of social inclusion and exclusion. Article 2. addresses the following empirically generated question: How is it possible to understand the fact that disadvantaged students from a segregated area have such optimistic future orientations in relation to further education and work? Building on life history interviews with a small sample of refugee youth from a disadvantaged segregated area the paper presents a concept labelled Utopian diaspora biography (UDB). UDB describes a process whereby a high level of aspiration concerning education and labour is accumulated as a consequence of the social, temporal and spatial dynamic of the biography. Article 3. is an attempt to develop new understandings about local production of social inclusion and exclusion in a decentralised, individualised and segregated school landscape. Using a wide range of data the article suggests that local differences concerning schooling and the outcomes of schooling – both in terms of statistical patterns and the identities produced – are interrelated and are based on an amalgamation of local policy implementation, material conditions and spatially guided representations. Article 4. deploys the concept of mobility in order to explore how space and class become related to education and social inclusion and exclusion in the three chosen areas as young people are spatially situated but move, want to move, dream about moving, try to move, and fail to move through, in and out of different forms of communities. This paper shows that the possibilities of moving to desired places on the education- and labour market are unequally distributed between young people and between places. The analysis also seeks to move beyond schematic typologies such as those of ‘immobile working class’ and ‘mobile middle class’ by exploring how mobility is made meaningful and how notions about mobility are structured and enable action. In summary, the thesis contributes to the discussion on processes of inclusion and exclusion in contemporary society. These processes are understood as inter-disciplinary problematics that include the social production of spatiality, historicality, and sociality at both the societal level and on the level of identity. Crucial aspects concern aestheticisation and performativity in education which imply an increasing focus on discursive, or textual, dimensions of identity formation and the competitive strategies developed by students in order to secure social inclusion through the marketing of oneself. Under these circumstances, new identities and new forms of social inclusion and exclusion are produced.

Berglund, Emma. "Rights, Inclusion and Free Movement : Social Rights and Citizenship in the European Union." Thesis, Stockholms universitet, Sociologiska institutionen, 2016. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-131864.
Abstract:
The free movement of persons in the EU has been fraught with tension since the Eastern enlargements. This culminated in 2016 when the UK demanded the possibility to limit rights and benefits to intra-EU migrants, making for a fresh investigation into the state of the free movement. From a constructivist perspective of rights and citizenship this in-depth case study aims to elucidate how EU actors describe the free movement of persons. It will further look at how they situate limitations and obstacles and analyze what this reflects in terms of underlying logics and rationales of rights and citizenship in the EU free movement regime. The interviews with EU actors reveal how distinctions of politically constructed categories of migrants which define Insiders and Outsiders are used to rationalize who has the right to social rights. Inclusion is defined in terms of market liberalism and individual responsibility, logics which thus also define the Insiders of Europe. This produces an image of the EU citizen and indirectly defines those who diverge from this image as Outsiders, including “lesser” Europeans. The underlying logics within the EU could therefore contribute to negative perceptions of those who cannot meet the requirements of the ideal European.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between mobility and the standardized testing environment. The project focused on nine students who had a pronounced need for movement while learning and/or being tested. The study was conducted to determine whether the achievement scores of these nine students would be influenced by the denial or availability of movement while they were administered a standardized reading test. Twenty-one second grade students were the subjects. Two forms of Level B of the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Test were used. All subjects were tested in a traditional environment with no movement allowed. The same subjects were then tested at a later time in a mobile environment with movement and change of location permitted. The Wilcoxon Matched-Pairs Signed-Rank Test was used as the statistical base. Results showed a .05 significance. Of the nine mobile students, six scored equally as well or better when placed in a mobile testing environment.

Abstract:
This book examines how the Netherlands managed to create and maintain one of the world’s most generous and inclusive welfare systems despite having been dominated by Christian-democratic or ŸconservativeŒ, rather than socialist dominated governments, for most of the post-war period. It emphasizes that such systems have strong consequences for the distribution of income and risk among different segments of society and argues that they could consequently only emerge in countries where middle class groups were unable to utilize their key electoral and strong labor market position to mobilize against the adverse consequences of redistribution for them. By illustrating their key role in the coming about of solidaristic welfare reform in the Netherlands, the book also offers a novel view of the roles of Christian-democracy and the labor union movement in the development of modern welfare states. By highlighting how welfare reform contributed to the employment miracle of the 1990s, the book sheds new light on how countries are able to combine high levels of welfare generosity and solidarity with successful macro-economic performance.

Abstract:
Rising inequality and widespread poverty, social unrest and polarization, gender and ethnic disparities, declining social mobility, economic fragility, unbalanced growth due to technology and globalization, and existential danger from climate change are urgent global concerns of our day. These issues are intertwined. They therefore require a holistic framework to examine their interplay and bring the various strands together. This book brings together leading academic economists and experts from several international institutions to explain the sources and scale of these challenges. The book summarizes a wide array of empirical evidence and country experiences, lays out practical policy solutions, and devises a comprehensive and unified plan of action for combatting these economic and social disparities. This authoritative book is accessible to policy makers, students, and the general public interested in how to craft a brighter future by building a sustainable, green, and inclusive society in the years ahead.

Abstract:
AbstractThe introduction of smart technologies in mobility has created a vast landscape of possibilities and options, but at the same time they have also created uneven impacts across society. It is, therefore, the goal of this paper to introduce the online Service and Policy Evaluation Tool (SPET) for evaluating the accessibility and inclusivity of digital mobility and delivery services. The tool shall enable policy makers to design strategies necessary for all citizens to fully benefit from the digital mobility system (e.g. social and educational strategies, new regulations, etc.) and identify strategies to avoid digital exclusion in terms of social and spatial aspects. Structurally, the tool is built on the capabilities approach, in combination with the principles of universal design, and co-creation was used for the development of the tool contents. The recommendations from the SPET will assist policy makers, developers, operators and other parties to provide promised benefits of digital services to all sections of the society, especially to people vulnerable to exclusion.

Abstract:
AbstractWith a shift towards the digitisation of mobility services, user involvement is vital for success. Especially critical is the inclusion of groups vulnerable to exclusion, so they can equally benefit from such services. In this respect, the Inclusive Digital Mobility Solutions (INDIMO) project established a multidisciplinary perspective on digital mobility services by considering the needs and concerns of vulnerable-to exclusion groups such as those who lack digital skills, belong to an ethnic minority or have reduced mobility.Using data collection methods such as interviews and surveys targeted at vulnerable persons in five pilot locations, we collected information about user needs, intentions and preferences when using a digital mobility service. In this paper, we provide insights into the user recruitment process for this study and share tips for working with groups vulnerable to exclusion. Not to be forgotten are the lessons learnt from conducting this research during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract:
AbstractThis paper demonstrates the co-creation process of digital mobility and delivery services applied in the Inclusive Digital Mobility Solutions (INDIMO) project mainly based on the local Communities of Practice (CoP) drawing on the knowledge and experience of their members to propose solutions adapted to their needs and interests. In the context of the INDIMO project, CoPs were established at five pilot locations and included users, mobility service providers, (digital) developers, user interface designers, and policymakers associated with each pilot. This chapter aims to report on the experience of the INDIMO project in employing the CoP as a tool to integrate the development of digital mobility and delivery services and the contribution and cooperation of different actors such as operators, developers, policymakers, and organizations representing the end-users. The creation of common spaces such as the INDIMO communities of practice was fundamental to enhance cooperation among different actors, co-design inclusive digital mobility solutions, and empower the participants in using the above-mentioned services. This chapter shows the development of the CoP process, the activities and challenges, and its role in making digital mobility services inclusive and universally usable.

In 15th International Conference on Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics (AHFE 2024). AHFE International, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.54941/ahfe1005335.
Abstract:
The paper presents the methodology specified and followed in the context of the European funded project ELABORATOR, to provide a comprehensive framework that acts as a practical tool to advise all relevant parties of mobility innovation chain towards achieving a higher level of inclusivity in all phases of new mobility solutions and services’ design, implementation, deployment and evaluation. ELABORATOR aims to support cities in their transition towards climate neutrality by promoting zero-emission, active and human-centred mobility, with a special focus on inclusion. The methodology followed by the project goes beyond the technicalities of sustainable urban mobility solutions and via its inclusive research approach investigates the complex and differentiated needs conveyed by multiple stakeholders and citizens especially women and vulnerable to exclusion groups, in 12 European cities and beyond. The specified inclusion plan is enforced and validated through focus groups (1 per city) and co-creation workshops with over 200 participants of different user groups. This enriches understanding of how these needs are embedded in different social and cultural milieus, how they are interwoven with expectations and needs, how they form differentiated patterns of urban mobility as well as how they can be communicated to enhance the implementation of sustainable urban mobility solutions.The proposed research framework interacts with vulnerable to exclusion groups so that: i) a great diversity of social groups of future users and stakeholders are well represented; ii) a conscious, welcoming, and stimulating environment is created; iii) everyone in those groups feels comfortable in sharing visions, doubts and needs. The investigation, discovery, development and evaluation of the inclusivity of innovative urban mobility solutions by a large under-researched vulnerable to exclusion groups and further stakeholders’ is a complex task and is achieved through well-defined requirements, specifications, methods, tools as well as the combined access of different disciplines.The methodology followed consists of three main activities and is conducted on four distinct phases, namely the Set up phase, the Discovery & Definition phase, the Implementation phase and finally the Evaluation and Dissemination phase. The activities are related with the provision of i) an inclusive vocabulary that includes a catalog of appropriate terms to be used by all relevant parties, ii) acknowledgement of what we mean by “Vulnerable to exclusion groups” and iii) guidelines and indicators towards inclusive mobility interventions implementation and evaluation. Towards this direction, the production/capital oriented structure of societies/cities is investigated and how this norms and patterns affect women and other vulnerable groups. The challenges that women and other more vulnerable groups, such as elderly, children, people with disabilities etc. face in their daily mobility are also explored in order a set of urban quality inclusion indicators for public space and mobility to be defined. The proposed criteria are relevant to 5 broad categories: Safety & Security, Accessibility, Vitality, Public space & Mobility equipment, and Inclusive signs and representations.In more detail, the whole process consists of different steps that are followed in every phase. In the first phase specific guidelines on how to establish inclusive methodologies and co-creation tools and ensure broad representation of diverse citizen groups are provided as well as guidelines on inclusive decision-making and participation. Within the second phase an prioritization of interventions is done based on principles of inclusiveness, identified during the first phase, and using participatory decision-making as well as collective understanding of safe, sustainable, and inclusive urban transportation for all. During the third phase the enforcement of the guidelines for proposed inclusive spatial Interventions are taking place via the well-established participatory co-production processes and the definition of inclusive validation processes. Finally, the evaluation and dissemination phase that runs in parallel with the previous ones refers to the evaluation of mobility interventions using the inclusive indicators and following the inclusive and open process for evaluation.

Abstract:
Mobility is an essential component of all European societies and is at the heart of the European Integration project. It is widely recognized that all citizens should be able to participate in economic, social and cultural life. European Union addresses investment in multimodal, environment-friendly, green, safe transport and mobility, to name some of the objectives, it seeks to achieve by mobilizing different funds. The idea of accessible transport is also high on the EU agenda. Accessibility is a multi-faceted objective, it can include the availability of information, the connection of metropolitan areas with rural or remote areas and also other aspects. However, the basic idea of accessibility in an integrated area should primarily mean the barrier-free mobility of people with disabilities and people with reduced mobility. This problem deserves to receive much more attention than is currently the case, considering that many recent studies estimate that the number of senior citizens and people with disabilities will double in the next 20 years.

Abstract:
With the development of exchange mechanisms, periods of mobility abroad have become frequent, sometimes unavoidable, in the school curriculum of a student. Taking the form of semesters of study in a foreign university or work placements for higher education students, the skills acquired during these immersion phases, both linguistically and technically, and in terms of know-how, are undeniable and valued by numerous research works. In this paper, we will review the impact of international exchanges on the professional integration of students. We are interested in the academic and professional gain linked to the international mobility that organizations, such as Regional Centre of Expertise (RCE) locations, can offer to college students. We propose, in our research, to examine the construction and contribution of the opportunities that these RCE locations can offer to students, in terms of academic, professional and social development. This study will highlight RCE Salisbury, of which is hosted by the organization the Bosserman Center of Conflict Resolution, as a case study.

Abstract:
The paper aims at presenting a conceptual framework integrating a Service Quality Assessment Concept in a methodological approach towards inclusive, safe, sustainable, and resilient transport systems to accommodate everyone’s mobility needs. Despite the improvement of public transport systems around the world, many users perceive: 1. Poor accessibility in most public transport systems; 2. Existence of physical barriers to free mobility in urban walking areas; 3. Increasing frequency of unexpected incidences as new norm in this 21st century (floods, earthquakes, terrorist attacks, pandemics, etc.).Furthermore, as transport operations are dynamic, increasing the level of uncertainty, the entire system is susceptible to extreme stresses that could propagate shocks throughout the entire network. Such risks highlight the importance of safety and comfort along each trip, such as providing seats for all, avoiding crowds in the vehicle, on stops, stations, and waiting areas, with contingency transport services in case of incidents.Meeting individual and collective mobility needs within a community is influenced by the existing and planned land use and depends on the available transport services. Furthermore, the enormous dispersion of individual limits to a free mobility related to a disability, older age or any temporary or occasional impairment or condition, accessible and inclusive transport services are required to fit the user’s mobility needs. The steps of the planned trip, like connections to other vehicle or network, could impose some difficulties that should be previewed, offering solutions to avoid exclusion. Finally, a barrier-free walking environment to reach or leave a transport network should complete the requests for the provision of transport services to accommodate everyone’s activity limits.The proposed Service Quality Assessment model is based on the quality loop involving the users’ feedback and the transport operators’ awareness of the planned and actual service level. Innovative technology supporting an Immersive Virtual Environment as a design, testing, and demonstration tool, will be described to identify new needs, design, test and to apply new solutions.

Abstract:
This document provides an overview of the current landscape of app-based collective transportation in Latin America and the Caribbean from the perspective of its contributions to social inclusion and environmental sustainability. The research builds on a review of the recent academic literature and a review of available secondary evidence from technical reports and policy documents. The analysis of secondary evidence is expanded upon through primary evidence from a stakeholder survey and semi-structured interviews with a select group of stakeholders in the transportation sector in the region. The manuscript shows the current situation in what remains an emerging industry in Latin America and the Caribbean, spanning from the terminology used by practitioners in different sectors to refer to app-based collective transportation, such as vanpooling, microtransit or micro transport, to the overview of different business approaches and regulatory responses in various contexts. The paper finalizes by presenting an evidence-based reflection of the prospects and expectations from different perspectives about the contribution of technology-enabled collective transportation to social and environmental challenges for transport in the region.

Abstract:
Network Analysis of a Mobility Ecosystem in Detroit, MI Background As part of a new initiative from the Global Epicenter of Mobility (GEM), organizations across many sectors in Detroit, MI, and surrounding counties are collaboratively investing in transforming the local legacy mobility industry into an inclusive advanced mobility cluster over the next 3 years. At the start of this initiative, in partnership with the research team at the Detroit Regional Partnership, a social network analysis was conducted to map the relationship between the foundational 24 organizations, the greater coalition, and their extended network to date. The organizations within this initiative were divided into 4 sectors that highlighted key differences in engagement This baseline map and relationship data, as well as key network analysis metrics, will be compared to future data collections over the coming years to track the initiative’s progress. Methods The original coalition (161 organizations) was identified by the local partner organization and data collection proceeded from September-December 2023 through survey completion. One or more representatives of coalition organizations were asked to identify their relationship to other members of the coalition using a 1-5 scale (Frey et al., 2006). Data were analyzed in R, and organization-level metrics, as well as centralized network-wide metrics, were produced for weighted betweenness, degree, and weighted degree centrality, as well as averages of connection strength. Maps were produced using KUMU software. Findings The mobility coalition consisted of 159 nodes and 7412 connections. Of those connections, 3763 (50.77%) had at least a level 1 connection strength, while 2319 (31.29%) had a connection strength of ≧ 3 (an active working relationship). The average connection strength for the network was 2.13. The coalition network was highly interconnected, with a clustering coefficient of 0.70 and a density of 0.59. Nonprofit and foundation organizations made up 47.5-50% of the top quartile by all centrality metrics while only making up 32.1% of the network. Corporate and private organizations made up 42.8% of the network and made up 68.42-82.50% of the bottom quartile across all metrics. The distribution of centrality scores of the corporate and private organizations was significantly lower than those of all other sectors within the network. These results illuminate a network that is highly interconnected, but in which not all sectors are engaging equally. These results are being used to plan and implement strategic interventions to foster new relationships and growth within the network. In addition to the 159 coalition organizations, respondents to the survey identified an additional 244 organizations as active participants within the Detroit region mobility space. A select number of these organizations will be added to the coalition as it becomes established within the Detroit region.

Abstract:
Network Analysis of a Mobility Ecosystem in Detroit, MI Background As part of a new initiative from the Global Epicenter of Mobility (GEM), organizations across many sectors in Detroit, MI, and surrounding counties are collaboratively investing in transforming the local legacy mobility industry into an inclusive advanced mobility cluster over the next 3 years. At the start of this initiative, in partnership with the research team at the Detroit Regional Partnership, a social network analysis was conducted to map the relationship between the foundational 24 organizations, the greater coalition, and their extended network to date. The organizations within this initiative were divided into 4 sectors that highlighted key differences in engagement This baseline map and relationship data, as well as key network analysis metrics, will be compared to future data collections over the coming years to track the initiative’s progress. Methods The original coalition (161 organizations) was identified by the local partner organization and data collection proceeded from September-December 2023 through survey completion. One or more representatives of coalition organizations were asked to identify their relationship to other members of the coalition using a 1-5 scale (Frey et al., 2006). Data were analyzed in R, and organization-level metrics, as well as centralized network-wide metrics, were produced for weighted betweenness, degree, and weighted degree centrality, as well as averages of connection strength. Maps were produced using KUMU software. Findings The mobility coalition consisted of 159 nodes and 7412 connections. Of those connections, 3763 (50.77%) had at least a level 1 connection strength, while 2319 (31.29%) had a connection strength of ≧ 3 (an active working relationship). The average connection strength for the network was 2.13. The coalition network was highly interconnected, with a clustering coefficient of 0.70 and a density of 0.59. Nonprofit and foundation organizations made up 47.5-50% of the top quartile by all centrality metrics while only making up 32.1% of the network. Corporate and private organizations made up 42.8% of the network and made up 68.42-82.50% of the bottom quartile across all metrics. The distribution of centrality scores of the corporate and private organizations was significantly lower than those of all other sectors within the network. These results illuminate a network that is highly interconnected, but in which not all sectors are engaging equally. These results are being used to plan and implement strategic interventions to foster new relationships and growth within the network. In addition to the 159 coalition organizations, respondents to the survey identified an additional 244 organizations as active participants within the Detroit region mobility space. A select number of these organizations will be added to the coalition as it becomes established within the Detroit region. These provide directions for future growth of the GEM initiative and the mobility ecosystem network and are examples of turning research into action.

Migrations, Gender and Inclusion from an International Perspective. Voices of Immigrant Women, July 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.46661/rio.20220727_1.
Abstract:
This publication is the third product of the Erasmus + Project entitled Voices of Immigrant Women (Project Number: 2020-1-ES01-KA203-082364). This product is based on a set of policy recommendations that provides practical guidance on intervention proposals to those with political responsibilities in governance on migration management and policies for integration and social inclusion, as well as to policy makers in the governance of training in Higher Education (University) at all levels. This is intended to promote the development of practical strategies that allow overcoming the obstacles encountered by migrant women during the integration process, favoring the construction of institutions, administrations and, ultimately, more inclusive societies. The content presented in this book proposes recommendations and intervention proposals oriented to practice to: - Improve Higher Education study plans by promoting the training of students as future active protagonists who are aware of social interventions. This will promote equity, diversity and the integration of migrant women. - Strengthen cooperation and creation of networks between academic organizations, the third sector and public administrations that are responsible for promoting the integration and inclusion of migrant women. - Promote dialogue and the exchange of knowledge to, firstly, raise awareness of human mobility and gender in Europe and, secondly, promote the participation and social, labor and civic integration of the migrant population. All this is developed through 4 areas in which this book is articulated. The first area entitled "Migrant women needs and successful integration interventions"; the second area entitled "Promoting University students awareness and civic and social responsibility towards migrant women integration"; the third area entitled "Cooperation between Higher Education institutions and third sector"; the fourth and last area, entitled "Inclusive Higher Education".

Pinto, Ana María, Claudia Díaz, Edgard Zamora, Eduardo Café, Marisela Ponce de León, Martín Sosa, and René Cortés, eds. Road safety in Latin America and the Caribbean: after a decade of action prospects for safer mobility. Inter-American Development Bank, April 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0004843.
Abstract:
The first Decade of Action for Road Safety has ended, but not without demonstrating the importance that systemic work on road safety offers towards protecting life. At the same time, it is clear that real progress in road safety requires a significant commitment of time, resources and political effort. In the Latin American and Caribbean region (LAC), over the past ten years, the growth in the rate of vehicle deaths has slowed. Unfortunately, in the last two years this trend has reversed due to the expansion of the motorcycle fleet in the region. Although it has been possible to raise awareness, create institutions, plan and implement important actions to reduce fatalities, LAC has not obtained the same results as high-income countries, which have entirely reversed the trend in road deaths. In accordance with the above, it is possible to conceive of a second decade of action as an opportunity for LAC countries to finalize the processes initiated over the past decade and to introduce successful lessons experiences from other countries in the region. With this study, the IDB intends to guide this process of continuous improvement, highlighting the best practices and offering an overview of how to move from theory to practice, following the principles that mobility must be safe, sustainable and inclusive, while reducing the risk to all road users, especially the most vulnerable, and maintain the focus on users with special needs (people with disabilities, children and the elderly).

Mohebbi, Mehri, Sumita Raghuram, and Ahoura Zandiatashbar. Pathway to Promote Diversity within Public Transit Workforce. Mineta Transportation Institute, August 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.31979/mti.2022.2135.
Abstract:
There are many aspects of the transportation industry that can be focused on, but the lack of resiliency is one of the most urgent. Enhancing resiliency and creative problem-solving is essential to the industry’s growth and survival. But it cannot happen without building a more diverse workforce. Women still make up a small fraction of transportation workers, and African American and Hispanic employees are even less represented. These disparities are increasingly pronounced in many senior positions, particularly in STEM fields. Meanwhile, the public transportation industry is experiencing a severe and worsening workforce shortage and many agencies have reported substantial difficulty recruiting, retaining, and developing skilled workers. Considering the transit industry’s existing diversity and inclusion toolkits and guidelines, this project emphasizes lessons from in-depth interviews with leaders from 18 transit agencies across the country. The interviews illuminate the existing challenges and creative solutions around transit workforce diversity and inclusion. From the interviews, we discovered: 1) the critical factors that impact the current level of diversity and career mobility within transit agencies; 2) how diversity efforts help explore resources and provide opportunities for effective and robust employee engagement; and 3) the significance of evaluation systems in creating a more transparent recruitment process that initiates structural shifts, resulting in better recruiting. Moving towards inclusive and equitable workforce environments is a healing process that starts with understanding these gaps. We call this effort Healing the Workforce through Diversification.

Fee, Kyle D. Does Job Quality Affect Occupational Mobility? Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, August 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.26509/frbc-cd-20220804.
Abstract:
Job quality, a well-known topic in workforce development circles, is an underutilized but useful lens with which to examine labor market conditions. The Aspen Institute (2020), a long-time advocate for job quality, defines it as “a range of attributes that drive worker experiences: wages, benefits, scheduling, legal rights, equity and inclusion, opportunity to build skills and advance, supportive work environment, and worker voice.” Given the record number of resignations and available job openings, especially in the lower-paid industry sectors, along with popular labor market narratives around the Great R’s (Resignation, Renegotiation, Reshuffle), I wonder to what extent job quality plays a role in the occupational mobility of workers. Occupational mobility includes all potential outcomes an individual has when holding a job. For instance, in addition to the option of changing to another occupation, an individual can remain in that occupation, become unemployed, or leave the labor force. Occupational mobility metrics are an appealing way to explore labor market conditions because they provide a dynamic perspective, while traditional metrics such as unemployment and labor force participation rates tend to be static observations.

Abstract:
This JDC Digest explores the impacts of forced displacement on host communities in the EHAGL region, as well as opportunities to facilitate opportunities for refugees and other forcibly displaced persons through mobility, assistance and inclusion into national services. Our review unveils how refugee presence can spur development and enhance service infrastructure while reshaping local labor dynamics. Central to our findings is the crucial role of refugee self-reliance and mobility in fostering economic and social integration. However, the review also underscores the need for further research, particularly regarding the inclusion of refugees into national systems and the specific challenges facing returnees and internally displaced persons (IDPs). Offering a comprehensive view, this Digest aims to inform balanced policy decisions in the region.

Abstract:
Since its inception in 2007, Atma, an “accelerator” for education NGOs in India, has been providing strategic consulting and capacity building services to non-profits and voluntary organizations in the education sector. This case study traces the journey of Atma, the core strengths of this organization and the support it has provided to the ecosystem of education NGOs in India. Atma has a team of young and qualified professionals, most of whom have made a shift from their corporate careers to the development sector. The case explores this trend and attempts to understand the motivation behind such crossovers. Notably, Atma also runs a volunteering program placing skilled professionals from the private sector into its partner NGOs where their management experience can contribute effectively to the organizational development and growth potential of these partner organizations. The way these partners have benefitted from such a collaboration with Atma draws attention to a critical need of small and mid-size NGOs in India: that of capacity building support to enable them to mobilise their resources and develop capabilities to be able to deal with any roadblocks on their path of development work.
