Ik zie, ik zie, wat jij niet ziet. Gender- en seksuele identiteit in het jeugdwerk

Ik zie, ik zie, wat jij niet ziet. Gender- en seksuele identiteit in het jeugdwerk / Marjan Moris, Xin Pan, Maarten Loopmans, Lara Speijer & Mirjam Bussels. CJM, 2020. "Het rapport geeft een inzicht in de beleving van gender- en seksuele identiteit van jongeren in het jeugdwerk. Voor de studie werden jongeren die zich identificeren als LGBTQIA+ en jeugdwerkers bevraagd en namen verschillende vormen van jeugdwerk deel aan een participatief onderzoek. Uit de bevraging blijkt dat er nood is aan meer toegankelijke en onderbouwde informatie en sensibilisering om met aspecten zoals stereotypering en kwetsend taalgebruik om te gaan. Het rapport bevat 21 concrete aanbevelingen waarmee zowel beleidsmakers als organisatoren aan de slag kunnen."

Solutions for Social Isolation: What We Can Learn from the World

Solutions for Social Isolation: What We Can Learn from the World / Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, 2020. "In 2017, RWJF’s Global Ideas for U.S. Solutions team issued a Call for Proposals (CFP) titled “Developing Solutions for Social Isolation in the United States: Learning from the World,” whose purpose was to learn how other countries were dealing with the challenges of social isolation and how to adapt those promising ideas to the United States. RWJF received 200 proposals spotlighting a wide variety of global models for addressing social isolation that either have been or could be adapted to the United States, ultimately funding six projects which bring ideas from abroad to communities across our nation–transporting solutions from Iceland to Anchorage, Brazil to Baltimore, and more. This brief shares what we have learned from this process, and points to future opportunities for addressing social isolation—from raising the visibility of social isolation and its root causes, to implementing screening to aid with early identification and prevention, to building an evidence base around promising interventions, and exchanging best practices across borders.

Lives and livelihoods: estimates of the global mortality and poverty effects of the Covid-19 pandemic

Decerf, Benoit, Ferreira, Francisco H. G., Mahler, Daniel G. and Sterck, Olivier (2020) Lives and livelihoods: estimates of the global mortality and poverty effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Working Paper (48). International Inequalities Institute, London School of Economics and Political Science, London, UK. "This paper evaluates the global welfare consequences of increases in mortality and poverty generated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Increases in mortality are measured in terms of the number of years of life lost (LY) to the pandemic. Additional years spent in poverty (PY) are conservatively estimated using growth estimates for 2020 and two dif-ferent scenarios for its distributional characteristics. Using years of life as a welfare metric yields a single parameter that captures the underlying trade-off between lives and livelihoods: how many PYs have the same welfare cost as one LY. Taking an agnostic view of this parameter, estimates of LYs and PYs are compared across countries for different scenarios. Three main findings arise. First, as of early June 2020, the pandemic (and the observed private and policy responses) has generated at least 68 million additional poverty years and 4.3 million years of life lost across 150 countries. The ratio of PYs to LYs is very large in most coun-tries, suggesting that the poverty consequences of the crisis are of paramount importance. Second, this ratio declines systematically with GDP per capita: poverty accounts for a much greater share of the welfare costs in poorer countries. Finally, the dominance of poverty over mortality is reversed in a counterfactual “herd immunity” scenario: without any policy intervention, LYs tend to be greater than PYs, and the overall welfare losses are greater."

Migration at work: aspirations, imaginaries and structures of mobility

Migration at work aspirations, imaginaries and structures of mobility / Edited by Fiona-Katharina Seiger, Christiane Timmerman, Noel B. Salazar & Johan Wets. Leuven University Press, 2020. "Migration and Labour Mobility The willingness to migrate in search of employment is in itself insufficient to compel anyone to move. The dynamics of labour mobility are heavily influenced by the opportunities perceived and the imaginaries held by both employers and regulating authorities in relation to migrant labour. This volume offers a multidisciplinary approach to the study of the structures and imaginaries underlying various forms of mobility. Based on research conducted in different geographical contexts, including the European Union, Turkey, and South Africa, and tackling the experiences and aspirations of migrants from various parts of the globe, the chapters comprised in this volume analyse labour-related mobilities from two distinct yet intertwined vantage points: the role of structures and regimes of mobility on the one hand, and aspirations as well as migrant imaginaries on the other. Migration at Work thus aims to draw cross-contextual parallels by addressing the role played by opportunities in mobilising people, how structures enable, sustain, and change different forms of mobility, and how imaginaries fuel labour migration and vice versa. In doing so, this volume also aims to tackle the interrelationships between imaginaries driving migration and shaping “regimes of mobility”, as well as how the former play out in different contexts, shaping internal and cross-border migration. Based on empirical research in various fields, this collection provides valuable scholarship and evidence on current processes of migration and mobility.

Criminal detention conditions in the European Union: rules and reality

Criminal detention conditions in the European Union: rules and reality / FRA, 2019. "This report looks at five core aspects of detention conditions in EU Member States: the size of cells; the amount of time detainees can spend outside of these cells, including outdoors; sanitary conditions; access to healthcare; and whether detainees are protected from violence. For each of these aspects of detention conditions, the report first summarises the minimum standards at international and European levels. It then looks at how these standards are translated into national laws and other rules of the EU Member States."

At your service: Working conditions of interactive service workers

Eurofound (2020), At your service: Working conditions of interactive service workers, European Working Conditions Survey 2015 series, Publications Office of the European Union, Luxembourg. "Around three-quarters of the EU workforce is employed in the service sector, and a sizeable portion of service workers interact directly with the recipients of the services they provide, such as clients, patients, pupils and so on. This can be demanding work as it routinely places emotional demands on these workers and can have an impact on their well-being. This policy brief examines the working conditions of people employed in interactive service work and investigates their job quality compared to the average employee. It focuses on the multiple emotional demands placed on them and assesses to what extent specific job resources (such as social support or good management quality) can help to prevent negative impacts of such demands. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, a special focus is put on the subgroup of workers in the health sector."

Podcast met Sinan Çankaya

Sinan Çankaya is cultureel antropoloog en geeft les aan de Vrije Universiteit van Amsterdam. Enkele maanden geleden publiceerde hij zijn boek Mijn ontelbare identiteiten. Het boek biedt een openhartige, diepgaande en genuanceerde reflectie op thema’s als identiteit, racisme en het samenleven in de hedendaagse culturele diversiteit. Voor veel mensen met een familiale migratieachtergrond zal het vol herkenbaarheden zitten – naast inspirerende inzichten – en voor mensen zonder familiale migratieachtergrond zal het een relaas bieden dat de ogen doet opengaan.
