Abstract:

Young people are confronting a world in which they may not achieve economic strides their parents did. Almost all will have been awarded university degree, worth far less (in the terms and conditions of their employment) than that of their parents, if they themselves graduated from university. In the article the author discusses the relationship between higher education and stratification. The concepts of meritocracy and credentialism are considered and a particular attention is paid to an equal/unequal access to education dilemma. Discussed is why a liberal arts education is losing ground and

This research explores the experiences of women journalists working in sports, focusing on four areas of potential problems: condescension in the workplace, equal opportunity in the workplace, perceived performance, and job satisfaction. The results of the study indicate that although females are appearing in sports newsrooms across the nation in increasing numbers, women feel they are, in many ways, invisible to their colleagues, expected to know less and accept more menial assignments, while being the target of sexist language.

Abstract:

America is rapidly moving into the computer age, and as a result, new opportunities will be available for those appropriately prepared. Blacks stand to move even further behind Whites from an economic standpoint as high technology becomes more pervasive because they tend to be clustered in schools where computers are less available to students, and they hold jobs where they are less likely to learn computer skills. Even in the past four years, there has been a widening of the income gap in America—that is, the rich have gotten richer, while the poor have become poorer. Black people are disprop

The article is a detailed exposition of the history of the incorporation of African women into paid work in the South African labour market. The interlocking effects of racism, classism and sexism exposed African women to income and job insecurity. Historically, access of African women to the labour market was shaped by the gendered nature of the migrant labour system and by legal measures that restricted women’s entry into urban areas and waged work. When African women were allowed into the formal labour market, they were only allowed to undertake the low-skilled, low-paying, menial jobs, wer

December 1998 witnessed a growing spate of atrocities against the Christians in several areas across India. The most gruesome were perhaps in the Dangs district of the Gujarat State. It is common knowledge that these were related to the acceptance of Christianity by a good number of tribals in South Gujarat. The Prime Minister of the country then visited the area. At a press conference on the occasion, he called for a national debate on conversion, namely, the acceptance of other religions by the Indians giving up the religion in which they were born. Much has been written since on the issue.

Abstract With over 70 years’ experience of menial/manual work combined, the poets Fred Voss and Martin Hayes are deeply embedded in the day-to-day life of precarious work. Their four thousand poems relentlessly explore and expose the ongoing catastrophe of such work as it has spread from the gig economy to more traditional forms of full- and part-time labour, a work hidden away by the constrictive and alienating effect of late capitalism. They are both witness and worker, which is a doubly precarious position. I explore how a middle-class publishing industry largely ignores ‘work’ as a subject

Abstract Climate change discussion has primarily focused on the physical manifestation, mitigation, adaptation and finance issues.

Specifically, little or no research has been focused on its impact on crime, especially in developing societies. This study which examined the impact of climate change and its consequences on crime specifically terrorist activities in the Northeast of Nigeria is an effort to fill this research gap.

Freshwater fishing is an important socioeconomic aspect of the communities in the Cagayan de Oro River (CDOR), Philippines. The fishery sector in CDOR has the elements that are generally characteristic of artisanal or small-scale fisheries. Before this study, very little was known of the scope and magnitude of artisanal level fishing activities within the CDOR. It has remained undocumented by Local Government Units (LGUs) as it does not contribute directly to the economy in terms of measurable cash flow.

At present there are many contemporary changes that have reshaped the caste system. This can be seen in the reservation policies on the basis of caste. There was a severe cast violence on Dalits as they faced a severe discrimination. The Dalits were considered as stereotyped and people who were involved in menial jobs.

The backwardness of these areas tends to have been exacerbated by the neglect of Nigerian mainstream media, which are urban-based. This neglect has created two track societies: the haves and the have-nots, the rich and the poor, thosewho have access to the city media

Students are provided with loans through Higher Education Loans Board (HELB). Public universities are supported through capitation grants to meet development and recurrent expenditure. The household contributes towards tuition and upkeep of their students. At Maasai Mara University, it has been observed that at the end of every semester, some students defer thei

It is largely documented that farmers who depend on rainfall to cultivate crops understand climate change as a change in climatic elements, especially rainfall which negatively affects crop production. However, studies on how people whose livelihoods do not directly depend on climate change understand it, whether and how the changes affect their livelihoods and whether and how they are coping to the change are limited in the literature.

Viral Load testing is recommended to monitor ART failure and reduce HIV-related mortalities. Whereas men are socialised to be strong, resilient, and disease-free, whether this has also formed a challenge to VL testing appointments to adolescent boys in public health facilities has remained underexplored.
