Conciliar trabajo y familia: ¿ilusión o realidad? available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Las familias basadas en la especialización de los roles de género están desapareciendo, mientras que en las sociedades contemporáneas se está asentando un nuevo equilibrio familiar basado en la igualdad de género. La revolución del rol de las mujeres que tiene lugar a partir de los años 70, con el alargamiento de la etapa educativa y su acceso masivo al mercado laboral, está poniendo en cuestión la escasa adaptación de los Estados de bienestar a esta nueva realidad. La incorporación de las mujeres al empleo y factores como el envejecimiento de la población o la disminución de la natalidad, ponen de manifiesto la creciente necesidad de cuidado en un momento en el que la oferta está disminuyendo considerablemente. También se están transformando los roles masculinos, aspecto que se ve reflejado en la mayor participación de los hombres en las tareas de cuidado y del hogar, aunque la identidad masculina no está cambiando al mismo ritmo que la femenina. Teniendo en cuenta que el modelo de familia de doble ingreso empieza a ser la norma en la sociedad y es el modelo deseado por la mayoría de la población, el objetivo de conciliar el ámbito laboral con el ámbito doméstico y familiar (tanto para mujeres como para hombres) está teniendo una mayor prioridad a nivel europeo. En algunos países, como los nórdicos, la compatibilidad familia/ empelo es un objetivo importante desde hace décadas y han desarrollado instrumentos para poner solución a esta problemática, mientras que en otros países, como los del sur de Europa, la intervención pública es escasa y han ido a remolque de la agenda europea. Concretamente, en la presente investigación se analizan y comparan los casos de Noruega y Cataluña/ España, realizando un trabajo de campo basado sobre todo en entrevistas cualitativas. La pregunta central de la investigación es la siguiente: "Más allá de las importantes diferencias de contexto, ¿qué factores explican e ilustran las diferencias entre el modelo de políticas de conciliación laboral, familiar y personal de los países del norte de Europa (que ofrece respuestas más adecuadas al equilibrio familiar basado en la igualdad de género) y el modelo de los países del sur de Europa?". Ante esta pregunta, la aproximación metodológica se basa en el modelo de fases o de proceso que ha estructurado buena parte de los análisis empíricos de las políticas públicas. En primer lugar, el planteamiento de la dimensión simbólica (el ¿por qué?), que se relaciona con la construcción de estrategias discursivas y marcos cognitivos, sostiene que si se produce un equilibrio entre el marco de políticas de conciliación basado en la igualdad de género y el marco basado en la eficiencia económica, tendrá lugar un mayor consenso ideológico y habrá más posibilidades para dar prioridad a las políticas de conciliación en la agenda pública. En segundo lugar, el planteamiento de la dimensión sustantiva (el ¿qué?), relacionada con los contenidos y las grandes opciones alternativas de fondo, sostiene que si se produce una combinación entre políticas de reconocimiento y de redistribución que dé soporte al modelo de familia de doble ingreso, tendrá lugar una transformación de los roles de género basada en la igualdad. En tercer lugar, el planteamiento de la dimensión estratégica (el ¿quién? ¿cómo?), que considera modos y estilos de gestión, sostiene que si el peso de las políticas de conciliación se pone en el Estado más allá del mercado o la familia, tendrá lugar una mayor igualdad de género y de clase. Además, si el enfoque/ estilo del Estado se caracteriza por el diálogo y la elección, las políticas de conciliación estarán más adaptadas a la realidad local.

Download and read online ebook Making Sense of Fatherhood write by Tina Miller. This book was released on 2010-11-18. Making Sense of Fatherhood available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. As family and work demands become more complex, who is left holding the baby? Tina Miller explores men's experiences of fatherhood and provides unique insights into paternal caring, changing masculinities and men's relations to paid work. She focuses on the narratives of a group of men as they first anticipate and then experience fatherhood for the first time. Her original, longitudinal research contributes to contemporary theories of gender against a backdrop of societal and policy change. The men's journeys into fatherhood are both similar and varied, and they illuminate just how deeply gender permeates individual lives, everyday practices and societal assumptions around caring for young children. This book acts as a companion to Making Sense of Motherhood (Cambridge University Press, 2005) and, together, these innovative studies reveal how gendered practices around caring become enacted.

Doctorow. This book was released on 2010-11-10. The Book of Daniel available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The central figure of this novel is a young man whose parents were executed for conspiring to steal atomic secrets for Russia. His name is Daniel Isaacson, and as the story opens, his parents have been dead for many years. He has had a long time to adjust to their deaths. He has not adjusted. Out of the shambles of his childhood, he has constructed a new life—marriage to an adoring girl who gives him a son of his own, and a career in scholarship. It is a life that enrages him. In the silence of the library at Columbia University, where he is supposedly writing a Ph.D. dissertation, Daniel composes something quite different. It is a confession of his most intimate relationships—with his wife, his foster parents, and his kid sister Susan, whose own radicalism so reproaches him. It is a book of memories: riding a bus with his parents to the ill-fated Paul Robeson concert in Peekskill; watching the FBI take his father away; appearing with Susan at rallies protesting their parents’ innocence; visiting his mother and father in the Death House. It is a book of investigation: transcribing Daniel’s interviews with people who knew his parents, or who knew about them; and logging his strange researches and discoveries in the library stacks. It is a book of judgments of everyone involved in the case—lawyers, police, informers, friends, and the Isaacson family itself. It is a book rich in characters, from elderly grand- mothers of immigrant culture, to covert radicals of the McCarthy era, to hippie marchers on the Pen-tagon. It is a book that spans the quarter-century of American life since World War II. It is a book about the nature of Left politics in this country—its sacrificial rites, its peculiar cruelties, its humility, its bitterness. It is a book about some of the beautiful and terrible feelings of childhood. It is about the nature of guilt and innocence, and about the relations of people to nations. It is The Book of Daniel.

Download and read online ebook Urban Acupuncture write by Jaime Lerner. This book was released on 2014-09-16. Urban Acupuncture available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. During his three terms as mayor of Curitiba, Brazil in the 1970s and ‘80s, architect and urbanist Jaime Lerner transformed his city into a global model of the sustainable and livable community. From the pioneering Bus Rapid Transit system to parks designed to catch runoff and reduce flooding, and the creation of pedestrian-only zones, Lerner has been the driving force behind a host of innovative urban projects. In more than forty years of work in cities around the globe, Lerner has found that changes to a community don’t need to be large-scale and expensive to have a transformative impact—in fact, one block, park, or a single person can have an outsized effect on life in the surrounding city. In Urban Acupuncture, Lerner celebrates these “pinpricks” of urbanism—projects, people, and initiatives from around the world that ripple through their communities to uplift city life. With meditative and descriptive prose, Lerner brings readers around the world to streets and neighborhoods where urban acupuncture has been practiced best, from the bustling La Boqueria market in Barcelona to the revitalization of the Cheonggyecheon River in Seoul, South Korea. Through this journey, Lerner invites us to re-examine the true building blocks of vibrant communities—the tree-lined avenues, night vendors, and songs and traditions that connect us to our cities and to one another. Urban Acupuncture is the first of Jaime Lerner’s visionary work to be published in English. It is a love letter to the elements that make a street hum with life or a neighborhood feel like home, penned by one of the world’s most successful advocates for sustainable and livable urbanism.
