Autonomy and Dependence in the Family Turkey and Sweden in Critical Perspective

Autonomy and Dependence in the Family Turkey and Sweden in Critical Perspective

What are the future prospects of the modern family? For a long time the common image in the West has been to see the nuclear family consisting of two economically independent spouses and their children as the natural outcome of the modernization process. As the hierarchies of patriarchal society vanish a social order based on equal and autonomous individuals all set for self-realisation has been assumed. However high rates of divorce often reported domestic violence teenagers left on their own at an early age do not harmonize very well with this idealized image. Critical analysis of family order in two countries at the opposite edges of the European continent - Turkey and Sweden - approaches these problems and attempts to create a more realistic picture of family life in the modern world. | Autonomy and Dependence in the Family Turkey and Sweden in Critical Perspective

Children's Work Schooling And Welfare In Latin America

Children's Work Schooling And Welfare In Latin America

From the 1980s through the 1990s children in many areas of the world benefited from new opportunities to attend school but they also faced new demands to support their families because of continuing and for many worsening poverty. Children's Work Schooling And Welfare In Latin America is a comparative study of children ages 12-17 in three different Latin American societies. Using nationally-representative household surveys from Chile Peru and Mexico and repeatedly over different survey years David Post documents tendencies for children to become economically active to remain in school or to do both. The survey data analyzed illustrates the roles of family and regional poverty and parental resources in determining what children did with their time in each country. However rather than to treat children's activities merely as demographic phenomena or in isolation of the policy environment Post also scrutinizes the international differences in education policies labor law welfare spending and mobilization for children's rights. Children's Work shows that child labor will not vanish of its own accord nor follow a uniform path even within a common geographic region. Accordingly there is a role for welfare policy and for popular mobilization. Post indicates that even when children attend school as in Peru or Mexico many students will continue to work to support the family. If the consequence of their work is to impede their educational success then schools will need to attend to a new dimension of inequality: that between part-time and full-time students.
