Invited to labour or participate : intra- and inter-generational distinctions and the role of capital in children’s invited participation
2016
This paper applies aspects of Bourdieu’s conceptual toolkit related to capital, and analyses inter- and intra-generational relations of influence. Applying Bourdieu’s concepts to examples of case studies from a children’s parliament in Finland, and with reference to an adult resident forum, moments of continuity and disruption in the relatively stable patterns of distinction between children and adults emerge. Children in school councils (at times) are labourers for agendas set by teachers, but the children at the top of the structure’s hierarchy can benefit from cultural capital and a functional capital that enables them to set agendas and direct the work of others. The political capital o…
Antisocial and human capital pathways to socioeconomic exclusion: A 42-year prospective study.
2017
Nordic welfare states have been very successful at reducing poverty and inequality among their citizens. However, the presence of a strong social safety net in these countries has not solved the problem of socioeconomic exclusion, manifesting in such outcomes as chronic unemployment and welfare dependency. In an effort to understand this phenomenon, the current study builds on the assumption that psychological risk factors emerge as important determinants of socioeconomic disadvantage in an environment where ascribed characteristics have less impact on educational and occupational attainment. Using data from Finland, this research examined a life course model linking childhood differences i…
Kuoro hyvinvoinnin rakentajana : tapaustutkimus Jyväskylän Musica-kuorosta
2010
Tämän laadullisen tapaustutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää millaista ja missä määrin yhteisöllisyyttä koettiin Jyväskylän Musica-kuorossa tutkimuksen tekemisen hetkellä (keväällä 2009). Musica-kuoro on sekakuoro, joka koostuu pääosin opiskelijoista ja jota johtaa Pekka Kostiainen. Tutkimuksen keskeisiksi käsitteiksi muodostuivat yhteisöllisyys, sosiaalinen pääoma sekä hyvinvointi. Sosiaalisen pääoman teoriasta tukeuduin Putnamin (1993) teoriaan, jossa luottamus, sosiaalinen verkosto ja vastavuoroisuuden normit nousevat etusijalle. Granovetterin teorialla (1973) heikkojen siteiden voimasta oli myös merkittävä osuus. Kuoroa koskeva aineisto hankittiin käyttäen kyselylomaketta, jossa selv…

Microfinance and poverty reduction in Tanzania : experiences from Dar es Salaam
2011
The emergence of micro credit as an effective tool for poverty reduction is widely recognized in the world since the 1990s. The World Bank also values categorically micro credit for poverty alleviation. The financial sector reform in Tanzania in 1991 emphasized the need for micro credit to the poor, in order to enable them to become entrepreneurs. It also aimed at providing household support as a mean of poverty reduction and economic growth. However, a number of constraints exist within this reform, for instance, establishing a new micro finance organization and providing credit access to poor. Therefore entrepreneurship and household income situation is not improving as it is expected by …
Socioemotional Wealth and Networking in the Internationalisation of Family SMEs
2021
In internationalisation processes, international expansion exposes family SMEs to external networking and the risks such expansion entails, and perceived threats to their socioemotional wealth (SEW) might restrain their willingness to take these actions. However, very few studies measure SEW and associate it with internationalisation. Considering SEW preservation’s prominence in family SMEs and SMEs’ heavy dependence on networking during internationalisation, we hypothesise that SEW preservation has a negative association and networking has a positive association with the family SMEs’ degree of internationalisation (DOI). We reconstruct four SEW constructs that carry significance for family…
The formation of long-term unemployed young adults’ emotional capital during childhood : a Bourdieusian approach to emotional harm
2019
This article focuses on the long-term formation of unemployed young adults’ emotional capital and the development of emotional dispositions during childhood. We use Bourdieu’s work and the concept of emotional capital to draw attention to the emotional dynamics of family and peer relations during childhood. Emotional capital is related to parents’ emotional involvement and investment in the child’s well-being, and it encompasses emotional skills and assets that children can attain from family relations. The concept of emotional capital allows an examination of the child’s family and close environment, which shape the development of actors’ emotional inclinations and tendencies. Our data con…
Euroopan talouskriisi, koettu hyvinvointi ja sosiaalinen pääoma
2015
Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan ihmisten kokemassa hyvinvoinnissa tapahtuneita muutoksia Euroopan talouskriisin aikana. Lisäksi tarkastellaan hyvinvointiin yhteydessä olevia tekijöitä ja erityisesti sosiaalisen pääoman vaikutusta. Tavoitteena on myös arvioida tässä käytettävän mittarin yhteiskuntapoliittista relevanssia. Tutkimuksen aineistona toimivat edustavat kyselyaineistot kymmenestä Euroopan maasta vuosilta 2006, 2010 ja 2012. Aineisto on kahden vuoden välein tehtävä kysely ja sen avulla pyritään selvittämään eurooppalaisten asenteita ja arvostuksia. Keskeinen vertailu tapahtuu vuoden 2006 ja 2012 välillä. Analyysit toteutetaan lineaarisen regression, kaksisuuntaisen varianssianalyysin ja…
