Whānau Coping Under the Circumstance of Multiple Job HoldingPere, Huia Matariki January 2007 (has links)
This thesis explores how Māori whānau cope under the circumstance of multiple job holding in four whānau who have at least one member who is a multiple job holder. The study uses a behavioural model of family resilience to identify the factors that enable or inhibit whānau coping. It finds that the reasons that influence Māori whānau multiple job holding can shape the whānau ability to cope while multiple job holding. The whānau in this study were found to have multiple motives for multiple job holding. Multiple job holding was used as a buffer mechanism because of previous financial stresses and strains, to facilitate future career and employment development and to enable a parent to fulfil what they perceived to be parental-financial obligations. In one case a demand for Māori skilled professional workers, led a whānau member to take on an extra job to fill this demand. Of importance, the study finds that resources are an essential factor when considering how whānau cope. Coping is facilitated by access to multiple resources and the types of resources required by whānau will be contextually specific in each whānau case.

The Problem of Idleness: An Arendtian Justification of Universal Basic Income in the Face of Mass AutomationLewicki, James 11 June 2019 (has links)
This dissertation is concerned with a fundamental problem at the heart of Arendt’s The Human Condition—namely, ‘the problem of idleness’. This problem is related to the three types of human Arendt identifies as correlated to dominant activities in one’s life, animal laborans, homo faber, and the acting person. It explores Arendt’s predictions of an oncoming automation crisis, and the possibility of a corresponding crisis in the production—consumption cycle. The problem of idleness can be understood as the claim that if people are provided freedom from job-holding so that they may pursue other activities, they would likely turn to consumption to occupy their time. I claim that this problem of idleness is important in any consideration of an oncoming automation crisis, especially in relation to Universal Basic Income (UBI) as a solution to such a crisis. I claim that there is a hole in the UBI literature concerning this problem of idleness, and if left unaddressed it would result in both an ineffective UBI, and in a crisis of meaning for the general populace. This dissertation demonstrates what the problem of idleness is, why it is important, and what possible solutions exist. This contributes to the UBI literature by diagnosing and attempting to solve a gap in the literature which I argue would cause practical challenges in the implementation and stability of a UBI system. I also contribute to the Arendtian literature by problematizing traditional readings of Arendt, and offering a reappraisal of her thought on Marx, art, and the social.

La précarité d’emploi, la pluriactivité et la polyactivité chez les musiciens montréalaisGhazi Mirsaeid, Seyed Mahdi 03 1900 (has links)
Le travail des artistes en général, constitue un champ scientifique peu étudié en sciences sociales, particulièrement en ce qui a trait aux conditions d’effectuation du travail des musiciens. Cela explique notre raison d’étudier les conditions de travail des musiciens qui résident à Montréal. En effet, notre étude se base sur deux questions fondamentales, c’est-à-dire, la précarité de l’emploi oblige-t-elle les musiciens montréalais à opter pour un modèle de vie professionnel pluriactif et polyactif? Et quelle signification attribuent ces professionnels à cette pluriactivité et polyactivité?
Ce projet se base sur deux axes. Le premier concerne la précarité d’emploi qui caractérise le marché du travail musical et le recours contraint à la pluriactivité et à la polyactivité, et le second axe concerne le recours des musiciens montréalais à ces deux phénomènes comme une stratégie et une opportunité professionnelle.
L’incertitude quant à l’avenir professionnel et au revenu qui caractérise le travail des musiciens montréalais, joue un rôle important dans la précarisation du travail de ces professionnels. En effet, la précarité d’emploi est un facteur fondamental qui pousse ceux-ci vers un cumul d’emplois. En ce qui concerne la pluriactivité, celle-ci regroupe toutes les ressources de revenus du musicien venant des emplois artistiques liés à son champ d’expertise. En ce qui concerne la polyactivité, celle-ci regroupe toutes les activités qui sont en dehors de son champ d’expertise principal (artistique et non-artistique). Malgré la nature contrainte de ce modèle de vie pluriactif et polyactif, celui-ci présente une stratégie efficace face aux défis qui existent sur le marché du travail musical et aborde une opportunité de socialisation pour ces professionnels.
Notre recherche étant de nature qualitative, nous optons pour une approche empirique exploratoire hybride. Nous avons réalisé dix entrevues semi-dirigées portant sur la vie professionnelle de nos participants. / The work of artists in general constitutes a scientific field that has been under-researched in social sciences, particularly regarding the conditions under which musicians work. This explains our reason for studying the working conditions of musicians who reside in Montreal. Indeed, our study is based on two fundamental questions, that is to say, does the precariousness of employment among Montreal musicians force them to opt for pluriactivity and polyactivity in their professional life? And what significance do these professionals attribute to this pluriactivity and polyactivity?
This project is based on two axes. The first concerns the precariousness of employment that characterizes the musical labor market and the forced recourse to pluriactivity and polyactivity, and the second axis concerns the recourse of Montreal musicians to these two phenomena as a strategy and a professional opportunity.
The uncertainty about the professional future and the income that characterizes the work of Montreal musicians plays an important role in the precariousness of the work of these professionals. Indeed, job insecurity is a fundamental factor that pushes them towards multiple job holding. Regarding pluriactivity, this brings together all of the musician's income resources from artistic jobs linked to his field of expertise. As for polyactivity, this includes all activities that are outside of his main field of expertise (artistic and non-artistic). Despite the constrained nature of this pluriactive and polyactive model of professional life, it presents an effective strategy to face the challenges that exist in the musical labor market and addresses a socialization opportunity for these professionals.
Our research follows a qualitative approach in which we opt for an exploratory and hybrid empirical technique. We have also conducted ten semi-structured interviews concerning the professional life of our participants. / کار هنرمندان به طور کلی یک زمینه علمی است که در علوم اجتماعی ، خصوصاً با توجه به شرایط کاری موسیقی دانها ، به طور کمی مورد مطالعه قرار گرفته است. این امر دلیل ما را برای مطالعه شرایط کار نوازندگان ساکن مونترال توضیح می دهد. بدون شک، تحقیق ما بر دو سوال اساسی استوار است. به این معنا که آیا نا امنی شغلی در بین نوازندگان مونترآلی، آنها را مجبور به چندکاری می کند؟ و این که اینچند کاری چه معنی برای این نوازنده ها دارد؟
این پروژه بر دو محوراستوار است. اولین مورد مربوط به ناامنی شغلی است که مشخصه بازار کار موسیقی دانان و توسل اجباری به چند فعالیتی می باشد و محور دوم مربوط به توسل موسیقیدانان مونترال به این پدیده به عنوان یک استراتژی و یک فرصت حرفه ای است.
عدم اطمینان در مورد آینده شغلی و درآمد که ویژگی کار نوازندگان مونترال است ، نقش مهمی در به خطر افتادن کار این متخصصان دارد. در واقع ، عدم امنیت شغلی عاملی اساسی است که آنها را به سمت نگهداری چند شغلی سوق می دهد. چند شغلی این امکان را به نوازنده می دهد تا منابع مختلف درآمد را در اختیار داشته باشد که مرتبط با شغل اصلی وی به عنوان نوازنده می باشند. در مورد نوع دیگری از چند فعالیتی باید ذکر کرد که ، شامل کلیه فعالیتهایی است که خارج از حوزه اصلی تخصص نوازنده (هنری و غیر هنری) است. علیرغم ماهیت محدود کننده این مدل زندگی حرفه ای چندمنظوره و چند فعالیتی ، این یک استراتژی موثر برای مقابله با چالشهایی که در بازار کار موسیقی وجود دارد و همچنین فرصتی برای اجتماعی شدن این متخصصان به حساب می آید.
تحقیق ما از یک رویکرد کیفی پیروی می کند که در آن ما یک روش تجربی اکتشافی را انتخاب می کنیم. ما همچنین ده مصاحبه نیمه ساخت یافته در مورد زندگی حرفه ای شرکت کنندگان خود انجام داده ایم.

Essais sur la ressource humaine en santé et l’utilisation des services de santé maternelle en Afrique sub-saharienne / Essays on human resources for health and utilization of maternal health services in sub-Saharan AfricaNkoumou Ngoa, Brice Gaston 15 December 2017 (has links)
Cette thèse étudie l'effet des prix sur les décisions des professionnels de santé et l'utilisation des services de santé maternelle dans le contexte de l'Afrique sub-saharienne. Les deux premiers chapitres s'intéressent à l'effet de la rémunération du travail sur les choix d'effort et la pluriactivité des professionnels de santé. En se basant sur des données collectées au niveau périphérique du système de santé Camerounais (Yaoundé et Douala), il apparaît que la rémunération du travail dans l'emploi principal n'a aucun effet significatif sur les choix d'effort et la pluriactivité des professionnels de santé. Une politique de hauts salaires apparaît ainsi insuffisante pour contrôler l'effort au travail et le phénomène d'emploi multiple des professionnels de santé. Le troisième chapitre analyse l'impact à court terme de la gratuité des soins d'accouchement et de césarienne sur l'utilisation des services de santé maternelle au Sénégal. Cette évaluation ne permet pas à court terme de mettre en évidence à un quelconque impact positif de la mesure de gratuité sur l'utilisation des services de santé maternelle. La mise à l'échelle précipitée des politiques de gratuité peut dès lors être interrogée dans ce contexte. / This thesis studies the effect of prices on the decisions of health professionals and the use of maternal health services in sub-Saharan Africa. The first two chapters are concerned with the effect of wages on the effort choices and the multiple job holding of health professionals. Based on data collected at the peripheral level of the Cameroonian health system (Yaoundé and Douala), it appears that wages in the main job have no significant effect on the effort choice and the multiple job holding of the health professionals. Thus, a policy of high wages appears insufficient to control the shirking behaviour and the multiple job holding phenomenon of health professionals in the sub-Saharan context. The third chapter analyzes the short-term impact of the free delivery and caesarean program on the use of maternal health services in Senegal. This evaluation does not show in a short-term any positive impact of the free-of-charge measure on the use of maternal health services. The hasty scaling-up of free-of-charge policies can be then questioned in this context.
