Objective. The objective of the article is to study the problem of implementation and effectiveness of social and labor guarantees provided to employees under the age of eighteen. The authors substantiate and analyze the effectiveness of benefits and advantages provided in accordance with the current labor legislation to persons who need additional legal protection, namely minors. Methods.. The tasks are solved by applying such methods as analysis and generalization of scientific, popular science literature and legal acts that provide benefits and advantages to working women and underage employees Results. The authors come to the conclusion that in modern conditions, labor protection requires improvement of both normative and organizational one. The current situation of minors in the labour market is characterized by discrimination. When applying for employment, persons under the age of 18 are not reported about a special set of additional rights, and some employers take advantage of this. Therefore, one of the factors in the implementation of labor protection standards for minors is to inform persons under the age of eighteen about their rights, guarantees, and working conditions through the mass media, which have a fairly effective impact on young people. The level of labor protection for persons under 18 indicates about the maturity of the state, the development of its legal institutions and the level of social and legal consciousness. After all, only through work can people meet their material and moral needs. Therefore, taking into account the physiological and physical characteristics of the body of a minor, which is just being formed, we need to improve labor protection not only in our country, but also in the international community, because life and health are the most important value.

Full textAbstract:
Literature has consistently shown that women offenders often have unique needs compared to men primarily due to their role as primary care givers within the family structure. The challenges and needs of women offenders vis-à-vis their vulnerabilities, biases against them, discriminations at various levels and of various kinds in the society and several such factors demand both a professional and a holistic approach towards preventing recidivism among them. Over a period, there has been a growing need for specialized interventions for various populations of people in conflict with law. For example, there is a growing area of intervention for specific categories such as juvenile offenders, young offenders, etc. The statistics on crime show an increasing involvement of women in crime and an emerging need to deal with the issue differently than the existing approach of the Criminal Justice System. It is in this context that professional social workers have an important role to play in prison settings, particularly in the context of women, their vulnerabilities and their involvement in crime. They can intervene during crucial phases such as when the women enter the prison for the first time, during their under-trial detention, conviction period and also provide family related services, health and mental health support and counseling, educational support, facilitate skill development, and job placement in addition to monitoring prison conditions. Social work intervention holds the potential to prevent recidivism among women offenders.

Введение. Репродуктивное поведение современных подростков характеризуется снижением возраста сексуального дебюта, ослаблением брачно-семейных отношений, низкой сексуальной культурой, что приводит к росту числа беременностей среди несовершеннолетних. Медико-социальная проблема ювенильной беременности, имеющая тенденцию к распространению как в мире, так и в Республике Беларусь, существующие в научной литературе различные мнения в отношении течения беременности и родов у юных первородящих послужили основанием для проведения данного исследования.Цель. Изучить особенности течения беременности и родов, состояние новорожденных детей у юных первородящих женщин.Материалы и методы. Проведены оценка медико-социального статуса, особенностей течения беременности и родов, состояния новорожденных детей у 105 несовершеннолетних женщин, а также анализ медицинской документации акушерского стационара УЗ «1-я ГКБ» г. Минска.Результаты. Раннее начало половой жизни среди юных первородящих, низкий уровень образования и профессионального статуса, недостаточная осведомленность по вопросам контрацепции способствовали наступлению нежелательной беременности. Соматическая (36%) и гинекологическая (68%) патология в анамнезе, перенесенные инфекции, передающиеся половым путем (23%), урогенитальные инфекции (41%), а также незрелость организма в целом обуславливали высокий процент осложнений (72,3%), возникающих в период беременности и родов у этой категории женщин. Факт поздней явки подростков в женскую консультацию (59,18%) приводил к тому, что ювенильная беременность протекала без должного наблюдения врачей, что оказывало негативное влияние на здоровье матери, плода и новорожденного ребенка.Заключение. Следует уделять особое внимание комплексной оценке состояния здоровья юной беременной и плода с ранних сроков гестации для своевременной коррекции акушерских и перинатальных осложнений. Introduction. The reproductive behavior of modern adolescents is characterized by a decrease in the age of sexual debut, a weakening of marriage and family relations, a low sexual culture, which contributes to an increase in the number of pregnancies among minors. The medical and social problem of juvenile pregnancy, which tends to increase both in the world and in the Republic of Belarus, the different opinions existing in the scientific literature regarding the course of pregnancy and childbirth in young primiparas served as the basis for this study.Purpose. To study the features of the course of pregnancy and childbirth, the condition of newborns in young primiparous women.Materials and methods. Assessment of the medical and social status, characteristics of the course of pregnancy and childbirth, the state of newborn children in 105 underage women; analysis of medical records of the obstetric hospital of the HCI "1st CCH" in Minsk. Results. Early onset of sexual activity among young primiparous, low level of education and professional status, lack of awareness of contraception issues contributed to the onset of unwanted pregnancy. A history of somatic (36%) and gynecological (68%) pathology, STIs (23% of cases), urogenital infections (41% of cases), as well as immaturity of the body as a whole, caused a high percentage of complications (72.3%) that occur during pregnancy and childbirth in this category of women. The fact of late arrival of adolescents to antenatal clinics (59.18%) led to the fact that juvenile pregnancy proceeded without proper medical supervision, which had a negative impact on the health of the mother, fetus and newborn children.Conclusion. The results of the study clearly indicate the importance of the problemof juvenile obstetrics and serve as a weighty argument for the rational solution of the important medical and social problem of teenage pregnancy.

Language plays a vital role for the shaping of the social structure of a society. Similarly, proverbs are the significant part of any language being used in a day to day communication. These proverbs are transformed and transferred from generation to generation in according to the social events and conditions. The current study carried out on representation of women in Balochi language proverbs. The purpose of this study was to critically analyze the gender representation of women in Balochi language Proverbs. In present study purposive sampling technique is used to collect data. The data were collected from four books on Balochi proverbs among them 15 proverbs are critically analyzed. All those proverbs which represented women are taken and analyzed. Moreover, the Hegemonic masculinity, hegemony and social constructionism theories are used to analyze the data. The findings of this study suggests that women are represented in a gendered way depicting her role as dependency, submissiveness, marginalized and lack agency whereas men have been portrayed as powerful, brave, ruler and holds greater autonomy over economic, social, religious and political domain.

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered new working modalities, typically aimed at flexibility. However, the COVID-related restrictions caused adverse effects such as unemployment, precariousness, and social anxiety. Effects on working conditions differ depending on the socio-demographic features of those affected (e.g., gender, social status, economic situation, ethnicity). Scholars agree that people who were disadvantaged before the pandemic—the so-called minority power groups, e.g., women, young people, and immigrants—suffered the most from its effects. This literature review systematizes the main findings of studies on one of these minority power groups, namely women.

Full textAbstract:
Reintegrating juvenile offenders into society with a positive reception is a primary objective of education, aimed at breaking the cycle of incarceration that results in recidivism. This article aims to delineate the prison education policies within Indonesian juvenile correctional facilities (LPKA), focusing on regulatory frameworks and their practical implementation. It focuses on the issue of the LPKA's capability in Indonesia to ensure access to education, which is a fundamental right of juvenile inmates, and on whether its benefits can be felt and realized. Data collection methods encompassed interviews, regulatory assessments, institutional report evaluations, and literature reviews. Findings indicate that, despite a 270% decrease in juvenile inmate numbers from 2018 to 2022, only 68% of this population was granted educational access. Contributing factors include specific regulatory constraints on educational access and a lack of innovative collaborations, even with the reduced workload in LPKA. The study advocates for the initiation of formal educational institutions within LPKA, minimizing reliance on the Ministry of Education and allowing for curriculum adaptation to prevailing conditions.

Abstract Background: There have been several international reviews about aging LGBTQI health and living conditions, but where policy, social insurance, and services differ. The Public Health Agency of Sweden was given a government assignment to review the literature on LGBTI, emphasizing Scandinavian literature. Method: This scoping review includes peer-reviewed literature published in English or Scandinavian languages from January 1, 2012, to May 2022. Literature was searched in PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, International Bibliography of the Social Sciences (IBSS), Social Science Database, Applied Social Sciences Index & Abstracts (ASSIA), and Sociological Abstracts, Sociology Database. Initially, 11,428 articles were found. After removing duplicates using Rayyan and reviewing titles and abstracts, 54 articles were read in full. After the final review, 16 articles remained. Thematic analysis was used to produce themes from the reviewed literature. Findings: The following two themes were identified: Aspects of health and Living conditions. Studies were primarily interpretive. There is a lack of studies about some subgroups of older LGBTQ people in this context; for instance, there are insufficient studies on older lesbian women and gay men. Furthermore, there is a lack of studies on somatic health for older LGBTQ people, generally. Comparatively, albeit in small samples, we better understand trans descriptions of aging than lesbian women and gay men. There were no studies found on intersex individuals. Implications: There remains a paucity of literature regarding the life and living conditions for LGBTQI older adults in Nordic countries.

Full textAbstract:
Life course theory suggests that the social bond of marriage can serve as a pivotal turning point toward the termination of criminal activity, particularly for men. Yet limited research has investigated how young adult men and women utilize social bonds forged outside of marriage to facilitate desistance from crime. This study explored gender differences in how formerly incarcerated emerging adults navigate and utilize their social bonds with peers and romantic partners on the journey toward criminal desistance. Two semi-structured qualitative interviews and a social mapping exercise were conducted with 14 emerging adults (seven men and seven women) with extensive histories of juvenile incarceration. With regard to friends, the young women found peer support often inconsistent, leading to an overarching theme of self-reliance. Some of the young men used peer supports with an overarching theme of reciprocity, while others used peer supports very sparingly in order to avoid contact with criminal associations or potential danger. With regard to romantic partnerships, these relationships proved much more supportive of desistance goals for the young men and the contrary was the case for the young women in heterosexual partnerships. These findings add to a growing literature about the process of desistance for emerging adults.

There is a growing literature on the conditions of Zimbabwean women working as migrant workers in South Africa, specifically in cities like Johannesburg. Based on in-depth interviews and documentary analysis, this empirical research paper contributes to scholarship examining the conditions of migrant women workers from Zimbabwe employed as precarious workers in Johannesburg by zooming in on specific causes of migration to Johannesburg, the journey undertaken by the migrant women to Johannesburg, challenges of documentation, use of networks to survive in Johannesburg, employment of the women in precarious work, and challenges in the workplace. Rape and sexual violence are threats that face the women interviewed during migration to Johannesburg and even when in Johannesburg. The police who are supposed to uphold and protect the law are often found to be perpetrators involved in various forms of violence against women. In the workplace, the women earn starvation wages and work under poor working conditions. Human rights organizations and trade unions are unable to reach the many migrant women because of the sheer volume of violations against workers’ rights and human rights.

Full textAbstract:
In today's Alpha era, teenagers often forget their role as the next generation of the Indonesian nation. Adolescence is a transition period from child to adult. This time the cause of Indonesian juvenile delinquency greatly increased. One of the attitudes that adolescents should have is knowledge of the ethical values passed down by their ancestors. Social changes and value shifts have affected the development of adolescents, causing the old culture to be left behind due to the emergence of a new culture in the Alpha era. Bullying is everywhere, physical violence against society is carried out by teenagers, bullying, and so on. One of the consequences of social change that causes juvenile delinquency to increase is the shift, the fall of adolescents into deviant behavior that is not by normal values and rules of society. Conditions like this are likely to spread generation as Juvenile Delinquency degrades mental health. One of the factors of juvenile delinquency that causes mental health to decline when bullying is considered right by some adolescents, is weakened moral degradation and reduced family functions and the role of family, and society in fostering adolescents. When the function of these related parties is weakened, there will be disability of adolescents in acting. The purpose of this research is to examine Juvenile Delinquency or juvenile delinquency which causes a decrease in mental health. The method in this research is a literature study (study research), namely collecting various sources and information that can examine juvenile delinquency that causes a decrease in mental health.

I. Male heterosexual prostitution, women paying men for sexual services, is seldom mentioned in discussions of prostitution. While virtually ignored by social scientists, it has received attention in several recent magazine and newspaper articles. This paper reports the results of analyses of this literature. A typology of prostitute roles based on type of payment and organizational affiliation is presented and discussed. Control theory is used to explain the rise in female sexual deviance. II. This paper investigates the relevance of gender for labelling and its effect on adolescent delinquent self-conceptions in a sample of high school students. The sensitivity of females to the attitudes of others in their self-concept formation served as the basis for the formulation of several hypotheses regarding delinquent identity development and its consequences for male and female self-esteem. Boys were more likely than girls to have delinquent identities and to feel they were labelled as delinquent. The association between delinquent identities and labels varied by gender. Among those labelled as delinquent, girls are more likely than boys to have a delinquent identity. Both delinquent identities and labels have negative effects on self-esteem. Strain theory was used to explain the conditional effect of father's education. III. Large numbers of married women have entered the workforce during the past twenty years. This paper investigates effects of social position on choice of significant others in a sample of married couples. It is argued that working increases a person's social network of significant others, that not working results in a smaller network of significant others and greater dependence on them and the institutions with which they are associated. Female self-esteem is more dependent on marital quality. Spouse appreciation and marital quality are related to self-esteem, though the association varies by the self-esteem measure used. Marital quality and spouse appreciation are important for male and female self-esteem. These findings are consistent with previous research which shows that for both men and women similar social positions produce similarities in thought and behavior.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis explores how the feminine Other is used by Euripides in the Hecuba to highlight certain tensions between an aristocratic ideal of manliness and a classical democratic masculinity in the fifth century Athenian polis. The first chapter will establish the masculine nature of the Athenian polis and discuss the different elements which highlight the inherent masculinity of Athenian society. The second chapter provides a socio-political context for the position of women in fifth century Athens and explores the otherness of the feminine in the masculine polis. Chapter three explores the problematic nature of speech in the democratic state and uses the feminine Other in the Hecuba to examine possible tensions between an outmoded aristocratic ethos and the democratic ideal of manliness. In the fourth chapter Euripides' use of the Other in the Hecuba is utilized to discuss violence, revenge, and masculinity in the Athenian polis. The final chapter provides a discussion on nomos and how the tensions between aristocratic and democratic ideals problematise the authority of traditional laws and how Euripides uses the feminine Other in the Hecuba to emphasise these issues.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis ondersoek die wyse waarop Euripides die vroulike Ander in Hecuba gebruik om spanning tussen die aristokratiese ideaal van manlikheid en die klassieke demokratiese manlikheid in die vyfde-eeuse Atheense polis na vore te bring. Die eerste hoofstuk sal die manlike aard van die Atheense polis vestig en sal die elemente wat die inherente manlikheid van die Atheense samelewing beklemtoon, bespreek. Die tweede hoofstuk vervat die sosio-politieke konteks van die vrou se posisie in vyfde-eeuse Athene en verken die andersheid van die vrou in die manlike polis. Hoofstuk drie verken die problematiese aard van spraak in die demokratiese staat en gebruik die vroulike Ander in Hecuba om moontlike spanning tussen die verouderde aristokratiese etos en die demokratiese ideaal van manlikheid te ondersoek. Die vierdie hoofstuk ondersoek Euripides se gebruik van die Ander in Hecuba om geweld, wraak en manlikheid in die Atheense polis te bespreek. Die finale hoofstuk vervat 'n bespreking van nomos en die problematiek ten opsigte van die outoriteit van tradisionele wette as gevolg van die spanning tussen aristokratiese en demokratiese ideale en Euripides se gebruik van die vroulike Ander in Hecuba om hierdie geskilpunte te beklemtoon.

Full textAbstract:
This study is an analysis of images of Chinese women in five of Pearl S. Buck's novels: East Wind: West Wind, The Good Earth, The Mother, Pavilion of Women, and Peony. Buck's female characters, with their different degrees of individuality and typicality, form a realistic picture of Chinese women.In terms of thematic content, the study shows that all Buck's female characters use their limited power within the constraints of their society to achieve what they deserve, often employing different, covert ways, some manipulation, and even a little deception.The significance of this is that it reveals, in an artistic way, the social conditions under which Chinese women at Buck's times lived. Chinese women had been very much oppressed. In order to survive, they had to act in ways acceptable by their society. However, they had, just as their male counterparts, the desire to love, to be happy, to maintain dignity, and to be free. What is more important, they were intelligent, courageous, and capable of fighting to achieve their goals for themselves.Buck portrays her female characters both as typical of Chinese women in general and as strong individual figures, each facing different conflicts, in a variety of social, familial situations, with unique characteristics. In order for the Western readers to understand the cultural content in which the individuals function, Buck gives her Chinese characters enough typicality as a solid foundation for the Westerners to interpret their behaviors.It is not difficult for the reader to see how the Confucian doctrines and the social conditions concerning Chinese women are truthfully reflected in the novels herein analyzed. Therefore, different degrees of individualization of these characters result from differing themes of the novels in which they appear.Department of English

Full textAbstract:
This thesis argues that through bringing together two branches of inquiry???the literary work of Katharine Susannah Prichard and Eleanor Dark and socio-feminist theory on health, contagion and the female body???the discursive body of the mother-figure in their novels serves as a trope through which otherwise unspoken tensions???between the personal and the political, between family and nation and between identity and race in Australian cultural formation???are explored. The methodology I use is to analyse the literary mother-figure through a ???discourse on health??? from a soma-political, socio-cultural and historical perspective which sought to categorise, regulate and discipline women???s lives to ensure that white women conformed to their designated roles as mothers and that they did so within the confines of marriage. The literary mother-figure, as represented in Prichard???s and Dark???s novels, is frequently at odds with the culturally constructed mother-figure as represented in political and religious discourses, and in popular forms of culture such as advertising, film and women???s magazines. This culturally constructed ???ideal??? mother-figure is intimately linked to nationalist discourses of racial hygiene, of Christian morality, and of civic and social order controlled by such patriarchal institutions as the state, the church, the law and the medical professions during the period under review. This is reflected in Prichard???s and Dark???s inter-war novels which embody unresolved tensions in a way that challenges representations of the mother-figure by mainstream culture. However, their post-war novels show a greater compliance with nationalist ideologies of the good and healthy mother-figure who conforms more closely with an idealised notion of motherhood, leading up to the 1950s. Through a detailed analysis of the two writers??? changing representations of the mother-figure, I argue that the mother-figure is a key trope through which unspoken tensions and forces that have shaped (and continue to shape) Australian culture and society can be understood.

Full textAbstract:
Entrepreneurship has been an attractive topic for scholars over several decades. However, social entrepreneurship has remained relatively understudied in scale and scope. More specifically, the aspect of women in entrepreneurship is mostly untouched. Therefore, this chapter aims to examine the role of women in social entrepreneurship in an emerging economy such as Turkey. This research provides literature on definitions of social entrepreneurship and the differences between social entrepreneurship and business entrepreneurship by taking the historical development of entrepreneurship into account. Secondary data of four difference-maker women entrepreneurs are demonstrated through analyzing videos, newspapers, websites, and interviews of the entrepreneurs. Four different life stories of social entrepreneurs suggest that Turkish women social entrepreneurs face many challenges from their environment. The life stories indicate that they touched women's lives by improving their social status as well as economic conditions.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This chapter examines the circumstances which enabled women to produce translations and seeks to ascertain how far these circumstances were different for men and women. It begins by questioning the traditional idea of the translatress as subordinate woman who can access translation more easily than other intellectual pursuits and often translates in the service of a father, brother, or husband. Recent research on England suggests that there was not a fine distinction between women’s literary work and men’s literary work in this period and that women and men often produced translations within the same settings and networks. At first glance, it may seem that women in the German states had fewer opportunities to engage in literary pursuits in this way and were indeed more likely to fit the ‘subordinate woman’ model. However, by the seventeenth century increasing numbers were able and encouraged to engage in intellectual activities alongside men. Exposure to education and involvement in literary societies often appears to have been a matter of social class rather than gender. Finally, it is striking that many of their translations were produced in collaboration with others, affording them agency through a form of authorship which was common and valued at the time. There appears to have been a particularly distinctive culture of collaboration in Germany, but hints in the literature suggest collaborative practices were widespread across Europe and need to be explored further if we are properly to understand the circumstances in which women translators worked.

Entrepreneurship has been an attractive topic for scholars over several decades. However, social entrepreneurship has remained relatively understudied in scale and scope. More specifically, the aspect of women in entrepreneurship is mostly untouched. Therefore, this chapter aims to examine the role of women in social entrepreneurship in an emerging economy such as Turkey. This research provides literature on definitions of social entrepreneurship and the differences between social entrepreneurship and business entrepreneurship by taking the historical development of entrepreneurship into account. Secondary data of four difference-maker women entrepreneurs are demonstrated through analyzing videos, newspapers, websites, and interviews of the entrepreneurs. Four different life stories of social entrepreneurs suggest that Turkish women social entrepreneurs face many challenges from their environment. The life stories indicate that they touched women's lives by improving their social status as well as economic conditions.

That the “abnormal communities” of the concentration camps put great strains on family life was a conclusion universally agreed upon by all who had first-hand knowledge of the situation and had cause to comment. The “unendurable housing situation” was “a constant source of irritation and friction within these households,” said to be a factor in a host of issues, including juvenile delinquency and marital disputes. The Nikkei were trapped in a setting which not only exacerbated existing issues and propagated new ones that would probably never have arisen under normal living conditions, but they were also stripped them of any control over the care of their most vulnerable members. Social work departments, simultaneously, held a great deal of power over the lives of men and women who found themselves in these difficult circumstances and had few resources with which to effect solutions.

Abstract Recently, the interest in gender differences in mental disorders has increased dramatically, both in research and clinical settings. Gender has been defined as a result of socially constructed ideas about the behaviour, actions, and roles that a subject performs. These features contribute to the heterogeneity between women and men in the areas of epidemiology, clinical presentation, functional outcome, and biological features of mental disorders. In this chapter, we summarize the literature regarding gender differences in psychiatric conditions, focusing on epidemiological and clinical aspects, as well as offering a perspective on biological features, that could contribute to determining such differences. Major depressive disorder, anxiety- and trauma-related disorders, borderline personality disorder, obsessive–compulsive disorder, and eating disorders are more frequently diagnosed in women than in men, while antisocial personality disorder, alcohol use, substance use, and conduct disorders are more frequent in men. Overall, women, as compared with men, show a more severe clinical presentation, more comorbidities with other psychiatric conditions, and a higher frequency of an ‘internalizing’ pattern. Men more often present an ‘externalizing’ pattern and comorbidity with substance use and conduct disorders. Genetic studies and magnetic resonance studies suggest gender differences in reaction to stress, which could partially explain the different gender-related features of psychiatric conditions. Despite the presence of an extensive literature, further work is needed in order to achieve an overall vision that integrates social and neurobiological aspects of gender with epidemiological and clinical features, as well as to implement the non-binary concept of gender that is absent in the available literature.

Abstract Advocacy by legal scholars on behalf of narrative in legal reasoning might strike students of Victorian social problem literature as urging us ‘back to the future’. On the one hand, we may be heartened that members of one of the professions which discredited literary authors as sources of political insight are promoting the value of storytelling in deciding court cases and deliberating public policy. Their vision of public discourse recalls the cultural conditions of the last century, when men of letters, if not women, might also be men of law, and when overtly political literature commanded sufficient public attention on social questions to be considered pernicious by some jurists, like Sir James Fitzjames Stephen. Once again, the voice of Shelley is heard in the land: ‘poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world’. If esteemed law school professors like Robert Weisberg say so, perhaps it is, after all, true. On the other hand, as much as we may be drawn to this heady blend of imagination and social activism—a combination which probably attracted many of us to our field of study and might promise to return literature from its exile on the margins of hedonistic consumerism—it is difficult to ignore the objections raised by literary historical scholarship on the rise of print culture, the professionalization of authorship, and, above all, the intimate connections between aesthetics and the bourgeois social order.

Abstract The study of literature has usually tended to focus on the individual author. As Raymond Williams writes: ‘We may know that authors work within determinate social and cultural conditions, but we still emphasise the fact of individual production.’

The Peru-Cornell Project inthe community of Vicos (1952–1962) was the cooperative effort of Cornell University and the Peruvian Indian Institute. The late professor Allan R. Holmberg took the opportunity to lease the Hacienda Vicos in 1952 in order to direct and study social change, and many social scientists and technical personnel worked with the project over the next ten years. This chapter draws heavily on unpublished field data of members of the Peru-Cornell Project, as well as the published literature on Vicos, to document the changing conditions in women’s and men’s lives. Vicos is not unique in Peru, for much of the country underwent similar land reform a few years later, but it is unique in the conscious way that many changes were introduced and reported by researchers. This makes Vicos particularly appropriate for a study that traces the effect of capitalist development on the fabric of human relations.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter contends that alliance positioning of street-involved women as damaged by dysfunctional families and communities neglects the structural forces that inform the women’s everyday lives. Resulting attempts to provide therapeutic services, while intended to address the complex reasons why women struggle with substance abuse, homelessness, and involvement in sex work, focus almost exclusively on women’s individual decision making. This focus fails to acknowledge that sex trading is itself a help-seeking strategy for women that allows them to meet their immediate needs without facing restrictive services provision conditions that often include lengthy wait lists, mandatory self-disclosure, and abstinence from illicit drug use. Many alliance professionals, particularly those who work directly with street-involved women, readily acknowledge the limitations of these prevailing approaches, and yet they remain bound by systemic constraints that position the women’s collective struggles as individual problems. Chapter subsections specifically address prevailing conceptions of help and harm reduction in social sciences and public health literature; present quantitative data on the women’s housing, formal education, and employment and health histories; and describe women’s perspectives on their needs and harm-reduction strategies, as well as alliance professionals’ perspectives on the women’s needs.

Full textAbstract:
Gender-based violence (GBV) has been internationally recognized as a serious and pervasive phenomenon affecting women’s lives and health. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that about 30% of women have experienced worldwide some form of violence. GBV (in addition to clearly visible immediate effects) induces long-term effects, including an increased incidence of many noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes or cancer. In the last few years, it has also been demonstrated that the signs of violence interfere with genome plasticity and gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms. The underestimation of the problem does not allow us to put in place preventive health mechanisms that could cushion the damage (prevent post-traumatic stress disorders—PTSDs—and the evaluation of epigenetic changes) to avoid the onset of the diseases. Appropriate interventions could reduce many of these long-term health effects while failure to intervene could be a significant source of health inequalities. The aim of this narrative review is to summarize the available evidence on the relationship between GBV, its long-term effects on health, and as victims’ living conditions, and socioeconomic position of determining both.

Full textAbstract:
This study sought to investigate future expectations and laboration of the migrant women from Turkey in Germany. The research was carried out with 570 migrant women from Turkey in Germany in 2012-2013. The data were collected by using a questionnaire developed by the researcher based on a literature review. Data were analyzed with factor analysis by using the statistical package SPSS. According to the research results, a significant number of women said that they are housewives but not working. This result points out the continuity of perception and evaluation of being a housewife “as not a profession and form of labor”. The data about women except from housewives reveals the difficulties in their labor life and also the effectiveness of informal networks on laborization process. Overwhelming majority of these women have experienced various jobs and indicated lower and inadequate wages as the reason of these experiences. In addition, the most effective means in the process of finding jobs is the circle of acquaintances rather than job-creating agencies, trainings and employment tests. As a result of the inadequacy of formal structure, a significant number of women has to work with low wages and not obtained sufficient social benefits. In spite of the difficulties faced by women in their laborization process, a great majority of women have the social security right. The presence of social security, however, could not prevent feeling insecure about their future and negative evaluation about their economic conditions.

Full textAbstract:
This working paper provides a summary assessment of the existing literature and data on digital forms of employment internationally. It illustrates the variability in how it is defined, how it is growing and what kind of risks are associated with these developments. Evaluation of these types of jobs is divided. On one hand, optimists point to the attractions and relative ease in finding employment on digital platforms; on the other hand, more critical perspectives argue that these employment contracts can result in exclusion from social protection systems. The evidence indicates that while overall a relatively small proportion of all employment digital work is growing, both on platforms as well as adoption amongst more traditional companies. The characteristics of digital workers can vary by region and occupation. Overall, they tend to be predominantly younger and more likely male, with a growing number of women albeit in particular occupations. Skills and earnings levels vary but the key issues of disputes is around pay, conditions and employment status. The consequences of this form of work for those with lower skilled digital employment can undermine their social citizenship: they lack comparable employment rights, or when unemployed entitlement to adequate social protection. The potential polarisation effects of digital exclusion and deficits will severely hamper the wider benefits of transparency offered by these technologies. During the pandemic these trends have become more apparent. The imbalance of bargaining power and regulatory governance to bridge gaps in citizenship entitlements undermines the collective potential of policy makers and trade unions to address these challenges. Nevertheless, there is emerging evidence of innovative challenges and contestation of these gaps by both union organisations and national regulators attempts to adapt social protection
