Este artigo reforça o desafio critico que tal forma de migração representa para o Sistema Educacional Jamaicano. O aspecto mais importante do estudo focou na migração de professores, em particular da Jamaica, e qual impacto ocorreu no sistema educacional da Jamaica. Observa-se a natureza dessa tendência em particular envolvendo professores com experiência deixando seus empregos e indo trabalhar em outro local, a situação após a migração e as razões pelas quais os professores migram. Os fatores analisados apontam tanto para influências internas e nacionais quanto externas e internacionais. A literatura relacionada ao tema usualmente coleta dados por meio de entrevistas, e professores que são simultaneamente uma parte do movimento e experimentaram o movimento em algum nível participaram da pesquisa compartilhando informações e experiências A investigação feita para esta tese revela fatos que demonstram que a natureza deste tipo de migração de profissionais altamente qualificados, em especial professores, impactou negativamente o sistema educacional da Jamaica. Foi descoberto que, ao perder tais professores, as escolas tiveram muita dificuldade de manter seus objetivos educacionais. Devido à perda de professores experientes, o sistema educacional jamaicano encontrou problemas em oferecer educação de qualidade devido à dificuldade de substituir os professores que migraram. Deste modo, esse tipo de migração teve impacto negative na educação dos jamaicanos, e deixou o sistema ainda mais fraco do que anteriormente / Abstract: This research was done out of an interest in the trend of international labour migration as it relates to Jamaica in the West Indies. This paper highlights the critical challenge that this form of migration poses for the Jamaican education system. The most important aspect of the study focused on teacher migration in particular from Jamaica and what impact it has on the Jamaica education system. The issues looked at the nature of this particular trend involving trained, experienced teachers leaving off the job to go and work elsewhere, the situation has it is after they leave and reasons why they leave. The push and pull factors were analyzed which pointed to both national internal influences as well as international external influences. Literature related to the topic was used to collect data and teachers who are both currently a part of the trend and have experienced the trend in some way or another participated by sharing their views and information to assist with this research. The investigation done for this research revealed facts on the situation which showed that the nature of this type of migration of professionals and highly trained teachers has impacted negatively on Jamaica and its' education system. It was found that in loosing these teachers the schools were left struggling to keep up with their educational objectives. Because of the loss of a number of trained experienced teachers the Jamaican education system found itself with problems of providing the same quality education they did before the teachers left as most schools could not find equal replacements. Hence, this type of migration has impacted negatively on the education system in Jamaica and has left the system even weaker than it was before / Mestrado / Economia Social e do Trabalho / Mestre em Desenvolvimento Econômico

Vi har undersökt hur HBTQ-personer framställs i tre jamaicanska dagstidningar under november 2015. Vårt intresseområde rör huruvida de jamaicanska medierna kan tänkas bidra till samt upprätthålla den stigmatiserade roll som HBTQ-personer har på Jamaica i dag. Syftet med studien är att undersöka och belysa de mekanismer som medierna medvetet eller omedvetet använder sig av i sin beskrivning av utsatta minoritetsgrupper, och vilka uttryck detta tar sig. För att undersöka detta har vi analyserat hur HBTQ-personer framställs, med utgångspunkter i tidigare forskning och teori. Vi har huvudsakligen använt oss av Erving Goffmans teori om stigmatisering samt Leonor Camauer och Stig Arne Nohrstedts teori om mediernas strukturella diskriminering. Vårt material består av 31 nyhetsartiklar som samlats in under november månad 2015 från Jamaicas tre största dagstidningar; The Jamaica Gleaner, The Jamaica Observer och The Jamaica Star. Samtliga nyhetsartiklar som på något sätt berört HBTQ-frågor har analyserats med hjälp av kvantitativ innehållsanalys. Tolv artiklar har även valts ut och studerats mer ingående med hjälp av kvalitativ textanalys. Vårt resultat visar att HBTQ-personer huvudsakligen framställs som en kontroversiell grupp som särbehandlas av samhället. Resultatet är inte entydigt men visar på två huvudsakliga linjer, dels fall där medierna framställer HBTQ-personer som orättvist behandlade och dels fall där den negativa särbehandlingen istället framställs som befogad. I det senare fallet anser vi att HBTQ-personernas diskriminerade ställning understöds av medierna, vilket tyder på att de i viss mån kan sägas bidra till stigmatiseringen av HBTQ-personer på Jamaica.

Migration and travel have been significant factors in the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic since its emergence in 1981. Understanding the current effects of migration and travel on HIV/AIDS transmission and survival is essential to intervention efforts, especially for immigrants. Previous research highlights differences between immigrants and native ethnic minorities, but few studies compare immigrant groups to their peers in the country of origin. The overall objective of this study was to explore the relationship between migration, travel and risk behavior among Jamaicans infected with HIV. This dissertation study analyzed HIV/AIDS registry data from the New York City Department of Health and the Jamaica Ministry of Health by focusing on HIV positive individuals of Jamaican birth reported to surveillance from January 1, 1988 – December31, 2007. The research included three specific aims. The first aim explored factors associated with transnational sexual partnerships among persons with HIV in Jamaica, using classification tree methodology and logistic regression modeling. The second aim compared trends in newly reported HIV and AIDS cases as well as deaths among Jamaican cases in New York City and Jamaica. The study design was ecologic and involved the comparison through the use of general linear modeling techniques. The final aim compared factors associated with late stage HIV/AIDS diagnoses between the two locations through a case control study design and logistic regression analysis. Persons with missing gender (n=62) were excluded from all analyses. Tests for interaction by location and gender were performed with each covariate. Significant interactions by both gender and location led to stratified models in the final analysis. A matched sample of 623 cases and 1,869 controls was analyzed to determine factors associated with overseas partnering. Persons who were deportees, in the professional or trade occupation groups, separated or divorced and categorized as MSM or IDU were more likely to have transnational sex partners. Comparisons of HIV, AIDS and death rates between the two jurisdictions revealed significant declines in annual AIDS case rates and deaths with no significant change in newly reported HIV cases. In both settings, rates of late stage diagnoses were alarmingly high (42% and 48% respectively).
