ESCOLARIZACIÓN, TRABAJO INFANTIL Y SATISFACCIÓN LABORAL: EVIDENCIA PARA ETIOPÍA
2012
En ligne sur http://www.staragon.com/revecap/revista/numeros/58/pdf/gamero_lassibille.pdf; International audience; Tomando como referencia Etiopía, este artículo investiga, en el marco de un modelo probit bivariante, cuáles son los factores que influyen en las probabilidades de que un niño trabaje o siga escolarizado. Los resultados muestran que el trabajo infantil desplaza efectivamente a la demanda de educación y sugieren que prohibir el trabajo infantil, para romper la competencia que se ejerce entre la educación y el empleo, podría perpetuar el nivel de pobreza de las generaciones futuras. Por otro lado, se analizan los factores de los que depende su satisfacción laboral, poniendo espec…
フィンランドのネウボラの視察から見えたわが国の利用者支援事業の課題 －ケースの視察及び利用者インタビューから－ [Issues Related to Japan's User Support Project for Children and Childcare Support System Dis…
2016
The aim of this article is to introduce Neuvola, a childrearing support service in Finland, and to discuss issues related to Japanʼs User Support Project for Children and Childcare Support System. The authors visited and sat in on Neuvola sessions for three clients, and they conducted interviews with a client between October 4 and 8, 2015. Clients and Neuvola nurses were relaxed, and clients initiated the topics discussed during the visit. There was rapport between clients and Neuvola nurses, and clients seemed to be at ease in receiving the service. During the interviews, the client mentioned that she was able to talk about sensitive issues because the nurses would help the family to move …
Child Protection in Mediterranean Countries: Italy and Greece
2023
Abstract This chapter explores the child protection systems in Italy and Greece. Both countries have to deal with immigrant children due to the conflict between the rights of minors and immigration laws on control and defense. In Italy, the child protection system is the result of a patchwork of norms and regulations addressing different societal demands and pressures. Family and cash-transfers are fundamental factors in Italy’s child welfare system. Greece, on the other hand, has adopted fragmented measures and policies connected with financial benefits, income support, social security, social care for disabled people, and rehabilitation for children at risk. The chapter also notes how the…
Alakoulun opettajat motoriikan arvioijina
2015
Kuikka, Henna 2015. Alakoulun opettajat motoriikan arvioijina. Kasvatustieteen pro gradu –tutkielma. Jyväskylän yliopisto. Opettajankoulutuslaitos. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, löytyvätkö opettajan arvioimana ne oppilaat, joilla on kehityksellisiä koordinaatiohäiriöitä eli motorisen oppimisen vaikeuksia ja kuinka luotettava Motoriikan havainnointilomake (MOQ-T) on tunnistettaessa niitä lapsia, joilla haasteita opettajan mukaan on havaittavissa. Tutkimus toteutettiin yhteistyössä Mukaan – liikun, opin, osallistun –tutkimushankkeen kanssa. Mukaan- liikun, opin, osallistun – hanke (2012 – 2014) toteutetaan yhteistyössä Suomen CP-liiton, Niilo Mäki Instituutin, Jyväskylän ylio…
Born to Be Different: LGBTQ2 Children of Heterosexual Families
2022
This chapter aims to challenge heterosexual norms in society by analyzing heterosexual families when confronted with the coming out of one of their children. Starting with the essentialist construction of identities and gender norms supported by the symbolic structure of the natural and traditional (straight) family, we reconstruct paths and dynamics of the response that heterosexual parents give to their LGBTQ2 children. Specifically, this contribution outlines the characteristics of the disclosure processes of homosexual children and the related reactions to such shocking and disorienting events of their families. Finally, we offer parents some good practices to react well and be welcomin…
Maternal literacy teaching, causal attributions and children’s literacy skills in Finnish-speaking and language minority families
2016
Abstract This study investigated the effect of mothers’ (language minority group mothers, LM, n = 49, and Finnish speaking mothers, MP, n = 368) literacy teaching at home, and mothers’ causal attributions of their children’s (mean age 11.48 years) literacy skills at fourth grade in Finland. For Finnish speaking mothers, results showed a negative correlation between the amount of literacy taught at home and children’s performance on reading tests i.e., more teaching was associated with poorer performance and vice versa. Also, the more MP mothers measured their children’s success by their ability, the better their children performed in reading comprehension tests. In the LM group, maternal li…
Is there a latin american child migration law? An analysis of the ‘Advisory Opinion n. 21 on the rights of child migrants’ rendered by the Inter-Amer…
2019
In 2014, in response to the request of the Southern Cone countries, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights issued an Advisory Opinion on the rights of migrant children in an attempt to emphasize the minimum guarantees that the countries of the region should grant to this category of migrant, especially considering their hypervulnerability when compared to adult migrants. Such request, made in the light of the growing migratory flow of unaccompanied minors in the Americas, has led the Court to point to a number of rights that should be particularly guaranteed, such as the right to seek and receive asylum, non-criminalization, non-detention, and non-return of minors, culminating in the desi…
Wrong Hand, Wrong Children? The Education of Left-Handed Children in Soviet Latvia
2019
Left-handers have always been surrounded by stigma and controversy, and attitudes toward this group have always been rooted in the ideas and traditions of power relations existing in a given society. Thus, the goal of this study is to describe the retraining of left-handers as it was conducted in Soviet education. The impact of political power on an individual’s body-mind interaction is a significant problem in research on the creation of the “New Soviet Man.” The teaching of left-handed children in the Soviet Union is a noteworthy example of the totalitarian regime’s illusionary endeavors to change human nature. The Soviet education envisaged neither a special attitude nor any particular p…
Neural correlates of morphological processing and its development from pre-school to the first grade in children with and without familial risk for d…
2022
Previous studies have shown that the development of morphological awareness and reading skills are interlinked. However, most have focused on phonological awareness as a risk factor for dyslexia, although there is considerable diversity in the underlying causes of this reading difficulty. Specifically, the relationship between phonology, derivational morphology, and dyslexia in the Finnish language remains unclear. In the present study, we used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to measure the brain responses to correctly and incorrectly derived Finnish nouns in 34 first grade Finnish children (21 typically developing and 13 with familial risk for dyslexia). In addition, we compared longitudinall…
Long-term course of chronic hepatitis C in children: from viral clearance to end-stage liver disease.
2008
Background & Aims: The natural course of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) in children is not well understood. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term course of CHC in a large sample of otherwise healthy children. Methods: From 1990 to 2005, 504 consecutive antihepatitis C virus (HCV)-positive children were enrolled at 12 centers of a national observatory and were followed up retrospectively/prospectively. Results: Putative exposure was perinatal in 283 (56.2%) cases, parenteral in 158 (31.3%), and unknown in 63 (12.5%). At baseline, 477 (94.6%) cases were HCV RNA seropositive, 118 (24.7%) of which were treated with standard interferon α. Ten years after putative exposure, the outcome in …
