Previous issue date: 2017-09-19 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / The achievements of women's struggle for equal rights in the last decades are undeniable, however, there are still a number of discriminatory barriers, mainlly in the workplace that limit the achievement of the goals of contemporary western women as a worker and income-earner. This dissertation describes the most common obstacles, how they arise and if it is possible to overcome them. Motherhood appears in this study as a dubious and complex obstacle because for some women at the same time as it is a personal fulfillment it is also a personal collection that resonates in its development and makes it have to choose between a successful career (according to her point of view of what success is in the second decade of the 21st century) and being a good mother (according to concepts founded and disseminated in the last century).
For this analysis I was used the concept Crystal Labyrinth, developed by the researchers Alice Eagly & Linda Carli (2007). Since this enlarges the idea of Glass Ceiling, concept created in the 1970s to describe the invisible barrier that prevented the growth of women's careers. The Crystal Labyrinth understands that developing a successful career as a woman is possible, but the path is slow, tortuous, and complex because of the numerous discriminatory barriers women have to deal with at every stage of the development of their work life And not just with regard to job promotions in the workplace / São inegáveis as conquistas resultantes da luta das mulheres por direitos iguais nas últimas décadas, no entanto, ainda existem uma série de barreiras discriminatórias, especialmente no mercado de trabalho, que limitam a realização dos objetivos da mulher contemporânea ocidental, enquanto trabalhadora e geradora de renda. Esta dissertação descreve os entraves mais comuns, como eles surgem e se é possível superá-los. A maternidade aparece nesse estudo como um obstáculo dúbio e complexo porque para algumas mulheres ao mesmo tempo em que ela é uma realização pessoal também é uma cobrança pessoal que ressoa em seu desenvolvimento e a faz ter que optar entre uma carreira bem-sucedida (de acordo com a visão do que é ter sucesso na segunda década do século XXI) e ser uma boa mãe (segundo conceitos fundamentados e disseminados no século passado).
Para esta análise foi utilizado o conceito Labirinto de Cristal, desenvolvido pelas pesquisadoras Alice Eagly & Linda Carli (2007). Uma vez que este amplia a ideia de Teto de Vidro, conceito criado na década de 1970 para descrever a barreira invisível que impedia o crescimento das carreiras femininas. O Labirinto de Cristal entende que desenvolver uma carreira bem-sucedida sendo mulher é possível, mas o caminho é lento, tortuoso e complexo devido às inúmeras barreiras discriminatórias com as quais as mulheres têm que lidar em todas as etapas do desenvolvimento de sua vida no trabalho e não apenas no que se refere às promoções de cargo no ambiente laboral

Work-family interface in Iranian women : the roles of religiosity and gender-role ideology / Arezou ElliyoonElliyoon, Arezou, University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Management January 2010 (has links)
This research assessed the effect of religious orientation on experiences of Iranian women in balancing their work and family roles. Based on the proposed relationships among main variables of this study which are religiosity, gender-role ideology, work-family conflict and work-family facilitation, it was also hypothesized that gender-role ideology would mediate the relationships between religiosity and work-family conflict/facilitation. The participants of this study were 221 Iranian female employees working in the Wood and Glue Industry. The results supported some of the developed hypotheses. For instance, they showed that women with stronger religious beliefs felt the extra time spent on work responsibilities would have been better devoted to family roles. Further, the women who indicated that the role of religion is highly significant in their lives experienced less conflict between the behaviors performed at home and those performed at work. The results did not support the hypothesized mediating role of gender-role ideology. / viii, 89 leaves ; 29 cm

Career break or broken career? : mothers' experiences of returning to paid work : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at School of Sociology, Social Policy and Social Work, Massey University, Palmerston North, New ZealandAng, Ee Kheng January 2007 (has links)
Servicemen returning from two World Wars were granted assistance in finding work, retraining and other benefits in recognition of the sacrifices they had made. Yet mothers' returning to work after time out bearing and raising children are reliant on a booming economy to obtain even limited entry to the labour market, and the work obtained is very often inferior to the jobs held by women before becoming mothers. Currently due to lower fertility rates and the ageing populations of the world's richer nations, a shortage of working-age people is predicted to continue into at least the middle of the twenty-first century. To overcome this shortfall, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) advises its member states to assist mothers to return to paid work sooner. Most OECD nations are complying, with varying degrees of success. Some policy frameworks make this goal more easily attainable than others. Mothers in liberal welfare states often return to paid work later than they might otherwise prefer. Many returners are overqualified for the work they are doing. While there appears to be relatively few barriers to re-entry, the choice of re-entry occupations are limited and returners are predominantly offered low status jobs with no career opportunities at the back of the job queue and gender queue. Mothers who interrupt their careers by taking a career break for childbearing and rearing generally face downward occupational mobility and loss of lifetime incomes. This thesis assesses the experiences of mothers who return to employment in one liberal nation, New Zealand. It applies Esping-Andersen's three models of welfare states and Reskin and Roos' gender queues model to the situation of returners. The study investigates the precise nature of the obstacles and processes encountered by a number of mothers attempting to resume a career. It argues that social policies matter: returners in countries where state intervention is more widespread and where there is universal, extensive and generous social provision and support for working mothers are economically better off. The research methods include in-depth interviews and a focus group with mothers, a mail questionnaire and interviews with employers, and a study of recent and current New Zealand and overseas government policies to assist working parents. The findings of this thesis are that regardless of skill levels, New Zealand returners are consigned to low status occupations where they are not fully integrated into the 'normal' full-time workforce with career opportunities. These mothers generally suffer more than one episode of returning to the back of the queue. They also earn less (weekly and annually) than mothers who do not take career breaks. The study identifies social policy frameworks and employers' policies and practices as factors contributing to the processes whereby returners are relegated to the back of the queue. Although New Zealand has recently brought in policies to assist mothers to return to paid work these initiatives have not addressed the processes that currently confine returners in low status, part-time employment. Policies similar to those created to specifically target the needs of ex-servicemen would go a long toward assisting mothers to access higher status and better-paid jobs at the head of the queue. The thesis concludes with policy recommendations to facilitate mothers' integration into such jobs.

To take up or not to take up? : government early years services in India and their utilization by working mothers in a Delhi slumMitra, Mahima January 2014 (has links)
This study of early years services in India explores the take-up of the government ICDS (Integrated Child Development Services Scheme) and RGNCS (Rajiv Gandhi National Crèche Scheme), and the factors affecting their uptake by working mothers in a Delhi slum. Policy cannot assess programme outcomes effectively without understanding how services are implemented. Existing literature indicates that programme impact is related to programme take-up, with non-take-up being a complex phenomenon affected by factors operating at multiple levels of the policy process. The study makes original contributions by examining user perspectives on early childhood education and care (ECEC) in the Indian context; in being the first to research any aspect of the RGNCS; and in utilizing Critical Realism as the underlying philosophical, theoretical and methodological paradigm for studying programme uptake. It poses five research questions that examine mothers' childcare arrangements and needs/expectations from services, their take-up of government programmes and component services, and the combination of factors affecting uptake. Study findings are based on surveys with 200 working mothers and 37 children's centre workers, and interviews with 15 policy experts. Findings reveal childcare arrangements and needs/expectations to vary by family structure, child's age, and mother's age and employment. ICDS uptake is found to be higher (54.3% of all mothers), than RGNCS (18.6%). An explanatory framework for analysing take-up reveals that low take-up results from a combination of multiple factors, most significantly programme characteristics for the ICDS, and participant characteristics for the RGNCS. Two theoretical frameworks frame this analysis - Wolman's (1981) determinants of programme success and failure, and the 'barriers and bridges' to programme uptake. Critical policy analysis further identifies the effects of the policy meaning-making processes, and the role of local 'street-level bureaucrats' in take-up. Both programmes display 'conflicted policy success' vis-à-vis take-up when categorised using McConnell's (2010) criteria for programme 'success' and 'failure'. Policy implications include strategies for increasing programme uptake, and a policy focus upon service users and women in the informal economy, recognition of the dual role of ECEC, and the importance of evidence-creation for interactive governance.

Effek van dagsorg op die wording van die kind / The effect of daycare on the becoming of the childVan Zyl, Erna 07 1900 (has links)
Summaries in Afrikaans and English / Text in Afrikaans / The child's becoming is influenced by the education situation as a whole. The mother-child
relationship plays a crucial role to the child's becoming, hence the initial bonding between
mother and child is considered all-important. All further becoming is based on the motherchild
relationship.
Another factor that influences becoming is the family situation, with specific reference to the
father. Because the family functions in the context of a particular society, the shift of
emphasis in the modem family and social factors cannot be discounted in the discription of
becoming.
Becoming takes place in conjunction with learning, development and maturation. These
processes are differentiable but inseparable. The different domains of becoming and
development, namely the affective, cognitive, normative, physical and social, form the
overall context within which the child is investigated.
An adequate educational environment leads tot the child's adequate becoming. At the centre
of any adequate educational environment is the educator acting as mediator between child and
learning content. Both the primary and the secondary educational situation should comply
with the requisites for adequacy.
An empirical investigation was undertaken in accordance with ideographic research methods.
The status of overall becoming and development in children who had been subjected to
different types of daycare was determined in relation to the education situation as a whole,
which is why both the primary and the secondary educational situation were drawn into the
investigation.
This research has produced the finding that daycare does not necessarily harm the child's
becoming. The overall educational situation must be considered at all times. Daycare has
a recognisable influence on the child's becoming, but the mother-child relationship is the most
decisive factor for the child's becoming. / Kinderlike wording word deur die opvoedingsituasie as totaliteit belnvloed. Die moederkindverhouding
speel die allerbelangrikste rol by kinderlike wording. Daarom word die
aanvanklike binding tussen moeder en kind baie hoog aangeskryf. Alie verdere wording word
geskoei op die moeder-kindverhouding.
Die gesinsituasie, met spesifieke verwysing na die vader, is verdere faktore wat wording
belnvloed. Omdat die gesin binne 'n bepaalde samelewing funksioneer, kan die
klemverskuiwing van die moderne gesin en die samelewingsfaktore nie buite rekening gelaat
word by die beskrywing van wording nie.
Wording vind sy neerslag in samewerking met leer, ontwikkeling en ryping. Hierdie
begrippe is onderskeibaar, maar kan nooit geskei word nie. Die verskillende domeine van
wording en ontwikkeling, naamlik die affektiewe, kognitiewe, normatiewe, fisieke en sosiale
domeine, vorm die totaliteit waarbinne die kind beskou word.
'n Toereik:ende opvoedingsmilieu gee aanleiding tot toereikende wording by die kind. Midde
'n toereikende opvoedingsmilieu staan die opvoeder as bemiddelaar tussen die kind en die
inhoud. Die primere sowel as die sekondere opvoedingsituasies behoort aan die vereistes van
toereikendheid te voldoen.
'n Empiriese ondersoek is aan die hand van die ideografiese navosingsontwerp onderneem.
Die wording en ontwikkeling van kinders vanuit verskillende tipes dagsorg is bepaal. Die
wording en ontwikkeling van die kind in totaliteit word in aanmerking geneem. Wording
word dan in verband gebring met die opvoedingsituasie in sy totaliteit. Daarom is die
primere sowel as die sekondere situasies by die ondersoek betrek.
Hierdie navorsing bevind dat kinderlike wording nie noodwendig negatief deur dagsorg
beinvloed word nie. Die totale opvoedingsituasie van die kind moet telkens in berekening
gebring word. Dagsorg oefen wel 'n invloed op kinderlike wording uit, maar die moederkindverhouding
is die mees bepalende faktor by kinderlike wording. / Psychology of Education / D. Ed. (Psychology of Education)

Essays in education economicsShure, Dominique Alexandra January 2015 (has links)
This thesis examines three different aspects of education policy to ascertain their effects on individual outcomes, both in the classroom and in the labour market. The goal is to provide new empirical evidence using robust identification strategies that can inform better policy. The first chapter looks at the role of pre-primary education in Germany using the German Socio-Economic Panel data set (GSOEP) to determine if attending an early education programme for longer increases the probability of attending a higher-level secondary school at age fourteen. I employ family fixed effects estimation and quasi-experimental analysis to control for selection. The results of the family fixed effects estimation show a small and negative impact of attending early education for more years. In the quasi-experimental analysis, based upon a federal law change in 1996, I find no impact of more years of early education on later schooling outcomes. In the second chapter of this thesis, I again use the GSOEP to examine the recent German reform to extend the length of the primary school day. I exploit the quasi-experimental roll-out of reform to assign treatment to women and look at whether increasing school hours increases the likelihood that mothers enter into employment or extend their hours if already working. I find that the policy has an effect at the extensive margin, drawing more women into the labour market, but that there is no significant impact of the policy at the intensive margin. In the final chapter I turn my attention to how peers' non-cognitive traits impact an individual's learning outcomes. Using an educational panel from Flanders, Belgium, I use the linear-in- means model of peer effects as well as several non-linear models to see how peers' personalities in a classroom affect Dutch and math scores. The results show that having more conscientious peers on average positively impacts Dutch and math scores, but that a greater dispersion of conscientiousness hurts Dutch outcomes. I also find that having more extroverted peers on average hurts math performance.

Previous issue date: 2009-03-11 / Universidade Federal de Sao Carlos / Healthy infant development greatly depends on the quality of interactions between the children and their primary caregivers. In its turn, based on Bronfrenbrenner´s bioecological model, parental involvement is affected by the responsibilities and relationships that parents must attend to in various spheres of their lives, which can contribute to the intensification or distancing of the parent-child relationship. As such, it is hypothesized that the parents jobs can have a positive or negative influence on their children s development, depending on the frequency with which job-related demands
interfere with their family involvement, generating insatisfaction and stress. The effect of such problems should be even more intense when occupational stress is extreme and
chronic, leading to burnout. In view of the importance of identifying factors that can affect the quality of parental involvement, the overall objective of this study was to
examine the relationships that exist among stress, burnout and parental involvement among mothers whose children attend preschool. In total, 56 working mothers were interviewed, whose children (between three and five years old) attended a public daycare for at least half days. Using instruments previously tested in other studies, measures were made of the frequency of demands in the family and work spheres and of conflicts between these demands, of the adequacy of various practical resources (support provided by their husband and other relatives) and psychological resources
(work satisfaction, perception of the adequacy of their family role performance) to help them deal with these demands, and of the results of the stress process on the well-being of the mothers (stress and burnout symptoms) and on their involvement with the target child. Mothers who reported spending a greater number of hours on domestic chores
had higher stress and burnout scores and made lower evaluations of the frequency of their involvement with the target child. In addition, on days with a heavy workload, the
respondents reported that they had less frequent positive parenting interactions with their child, such as playing and conversing. With respect to stress and burnout, the
regression analyses indicated that mothers who said that work demands interfered with their family life had lower job satisfaction at the same time that the more the mothers
could allow family tasks to reduce work performance (without losing their jobs), the greater their job satisfaction. The greater the mothers job satisfaction (fewer extra demands and more flexibility) the lower their stress. Reinforcing this, mothers whose job demands interfered more frequently with their family life had less positive perceptions of the adequacy of their parental role performance and presented symptoms
of burnout with a higher frequency. These results provide information that contributes to a better understanding of a critical phase in the life of working women, while their
children are young, pointing to a need for a widening of the social support network of workers with children in this age group, and for the review of policies and worker s rights, so as to reduce the stress and burden felt by working parents and to promote more positive parenting involvements in the lives of their children. / O desenvolvimento infantil saudável depende significativamente da qualidade das interações entre a criança e seus cuidadores principais. Por sua vez, segundo o modelo
bioecológico de Bronfenbrenner, o envolvimento parental é afetado pelas responsabilidades e relacionamentos que os pais mantêm nas diferentes esferas de suas vidas que podem contribuir para a estreitamento ou distanciamento da relação pai-filho. Assim, levanta-se a hipótese de que o trabalho dos pais pode influenciar positiva ou negativamente no desenvolvimento dos filhos, a depender da freqüência com a qual demandas na esfera profissional interfiram no envolvimento familiar, gerando insatisfações e estresse. O efeito destes problemas deveria ser ainda mais intenso quando o estresse ocupacional fosse extremo e crônico, levando ao burnout. Tendo em vista a importância de identificar fatores que podem afetar a qualidade do envolvimento parental, o objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi de examinar as relações entre estresse, burnout e envolvimento parental em mães trabalhadoras, cujos filhos freqüentam
escolas infantis. Foram entrevistadas 56 trabalhadoras, mães de filhos de três a cinco anos que freqüentavam uma creche pública em pelo menos meio período. Utilizando instrumentos previamente testados em outros estudos, foram aferidas a freqüência das demandas nas esferas de trabalho e família e dos conflitos entre estas, a adequação de diferentes recursos práticos (apoio recebido do marido e familiares) e psicológicos
(satisfação no trabalho, percepção da adequação do desempenho no papel familiar) para lidar com estas demandas e os resultados do processo de estresse para o bem-estar das
mães (sintomas de estresse e burnout ) e no seu envolvimento com o filho alvo. Verificou-se que as mulheres que afirmavam dedicar mais horas às atividades domésticas atingiram mais altos escores de estresse e burnout e se avaliaram como estando menos envolvidas com seus filhos alvo. Além disso, em dias de carga de trabalho pesada, as respondentes disseram que interagiam menos com seus filhos em atividades relacionadas ao envolvimento parental positivo, como brincar e conversar. Em relação ao estresse e ao burnout, as análises de regressão apontaram que quanto
mais freqüentemente as demandas no trabalho interferiam na vida familiar, menor a satisfação no trabalho, ao mesmo tempo em que mães que puderam deixar demandas familiares reduzirem seu desempenho no trabalho (sem perder o emprego) estavam mais satisfeitas no trabalho. Quanto maior a satisfação no trabalho (menos tarefas extras e maior flexibilidade), menores os escores de estresse. Reforçando isso, quanto mais freqüentes foram as demandas do âmbito profissional que interferiam na família, mais baixa a percepção da adequação do desempenho no papel familiar e mais freqüentes foram os sintomas de burnout. Estes resultados trazem informações que contribuem para uma melhor compreensão de uma fase crítica na vida de mulheres que trabalham enquanto seus filhos são pequenos, apontando para a necessidade de ampliação da rede de suporte social de trabalhadores que têm filhos nessa faixa etária, bem como a revisão de políticas e direitos trabalhistas, a fim de reduzir a sobrecarga e o estresse parental e para promover um envolvimento mais positivo na vida dos filhos.

Identiteitsvestiging by adolessente dogters van werkende moedersBurns, Maria Magdelena Magrieta Elizabeth 23 July 2014 (has links)
M.Ed. / Many mothers enter the labour force because of the need for workers and the financial position of the family which is worsening in these highly inflationary times. Although this might solve some financial problems in the family, it creates other problems, for instance child care. The question now arises as to how the adolescent daughter will form her own identity if her mother follows a career. It is clear that the working mother has no easy task. Besides her career, she also has her children, her husband and a household to take care of. Furthermore, she has the task of helping her adolescent daughter with the formation of her own identity. Two variables have been identified: * the relationship between mother and daughter * the identity formation of the adolescent daughter. An English and Afrikaans questionnaire was compiled based on these variables. The questionnaire was answered by 1086 girls and boys (Afrikaans, English and other language groups) between the ages of 12 and 18. Mothers were grouped into three categories, namely full time, part time and non - working mothers. The most important findings of this study are the following: * Working mothers develop a relatively better relationship with their adolescent children in comparison with non - working mothers. * The relationship between mother and daughter develops relatively better than that of mother and son. * Younger adolescent daughters develop a relatively better relationship with their mothers than older adolescent daughters. * Afrikaans speaking adolescent daughters develop a relatively better relationship with their mothers than adolescent daughters of other language groups. Guidance to working mothers of other language groups seems to be necessary. * The formation of the identity of adolescent children of working mothers develops relatively better than those of non working mothers. The averages of all the girls are quite high, which indicate that the mother - child relationship and the identity formation of the adolescent daughter develops well, irrespective of the mother's career.
