Educators and activists: educating for life through work in work integration enterprises
2018
Este artículo se centra en el derecho a la educación para personas que viven en contextos de vulnerabilidad, en sintonía pero diferente a la aproximación de Escudero: en primer lugar, es una mirada sobre la educación no de jóvenes sino de personas adultas, muchas de ellas con trayectorias educativas truncadas, y todas ellas tras haber pasado por situaciones vitales que bien pueden calificarse de marginación y exclusión. En segundo lugar, ofrece una mirada a la práctica educativa en un contexto no escolar, sino productivo, ya que pone el foco de atención sobre el aprendizaje, tanto intencional como informal, que tiene lugar en empresas de inserción. En tercer lugar, nuestra perspectiva es la…
Technical secondary education in Togo and Cameroon : Research Note
1990
International audience; This paper presents an evaluation of technical secondary education in Togo and Cameroon from the labor market perspective using tracer study data. Individuals face great difficulties in finding a job following training and the most common strategy used to avoid unemployment is to secure work in the informal sector. However, informal sector jobs provide low earnings and there appears to be a large discrepancy between an individual's expected earnings and actual earnings. One solution is to stimulate, and to enhance the role of, informal training through apprentice training centers.
Informal Learning for Citizenship Building in Shared Struggles for Right: Cases of Political Solidarity Between Colombian and Spanish Organisations
2015
[EN]: Dominant discourses and practices in international cooperation have been characterised by depoliticisation and unequal power relationships. However, a number of more transformative experiences of cooperation also exist, where joint work between Northern and Southern social organisations is linked with a more political perspective. These kinds of experiences can be considered processes of informal learning in social action: through shared actions, strategies and frameworks and through interaction between organisations, institutions and the grassroots, informal and multidimensional learning processes occur in the people and organisations engaged. The study approaches four cases of netwo…
Informal caregiving burden in advanced non-small cell lung cancer: the HABIT study.
2007
Introduction This study's aim was to assess economic data regarding the home assistance burden for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients in Italy. Patients and Methods One hundred four NSCLC patients in second-line chemotherapy (2LC) or in supportive therapy (ST) were enrolled in 18 Italian oncology departments and were observed for 3 months. The main caregiver's workload was assessed monthly by a task scale; other caregivers' activities were also registered. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status was assessed by physicians, and patients completed the Lung Cancer Symptoms (LCS) subscale. Formal caregiving time was valued according to market prices; informal car…

Basado en una metodología cualitativa, con trabajo de campo realizado entre septiembre de …
Health and Living Conditions of Refugees and Asylum-seekers: A Survey of Informal Settlements in Italy
2018
Newspapers and humanitarian organisations have long shown that many asylumseekers and other beneficiaries of international protection are forced to live for months or even years in precarious settlements that have sprung up spontaneously throughout Italy. However, there are no official statistics on how many asylum-seekers and refugees in Italy live this way. Our survey, carried out in 2015, is the first national survey of foreign nationals living in these makeshift camps. It aims to build a complete list of informal settlements in Italy and provide an estimate of the population size, characteristics, and living conditions of these settlements, with a focus on health conditions. The conditi…
The Willingness to Intervene in Cases of Intimate Partner Violence Against Women (WI-IPVAW) Scale: Development and Validation of the Long and Short V…
2018
Willingness to intervene when one becomes aware of a case of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) reflects the level of tolerance and acceptance of this type of violence in society. Increasing the likelihood of intervention to help victims of IPVAW is also a target for prevention strategies aiming to increase informal social control of IPVAW. In this study, we present the development and validation of the Willingness to Intervene in Cases of Intimate Partner Violence (WI-IPVAW) scale. We report data for both the long and short versions of the scale. We analyzed the latent structure, the reliability and validity of the WI-IPVAW across four samples (N = 1648). Factor analyses suppo…
The Returns to Education in Rwanda
2005
05077; International audience; Based on data from the 1999–2001 Household Living Conditions Survey conducted by the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning, we estimate wage equations for employees in Rwanda, treating the choice of employment sector as an endogenous process and making separate estimates for workers in the modern and traditional sectors of the economy. The results show that returns to education increase with the level of education, contrary to the pattern typically reported in the literature and that the returns to higher education is particularly high in Rwanda. A noteworthy feature in the results is that the returns to education are quite different across sectors of empl…

La educación de la mujer en el franquismo y su evolución en Valencia (1951-1970)
1993
El nacional-catolicismo cuenta entre sus principios ideológicos con la separación estricta de la sociedad en razón del género. Este constructo atraviesa y determina toda la organización social y, como parte de ella, el aparato educativo. Existirán dos maneras de educar a los ciudadanos según se trate de hombres o mujeres. Se trata de realizar un seguimiento y análisis de la evolución de la educación de las mujeres durante el franquismo en la etapa histórica del predesarrollismo y el desarrollismo que comprende la que como colectivo recibieron (educación de las mujeres) y la destinada a modelarlas según unos estereotipos determinados (educación como mujeres). Cabe destacar que no existe un ú…
