Download or read book Inequalities in Geographical Space written by Clementine Cottineau and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-12-28 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inequalities are central to the public debate and social science research. They are inextricably linked to geographical space, shaping human mobility and migration patterns, creating diverse living environments and changing individuals’ perceptions of the society they live in and the inequalities that endure within it. Geographical space contributes to the emergence and perpetuation of inequalities between individuals according to their socioeconomic position, gender, ethno-racial origin or even their age. Inequalities in Geographical Space examines inequalities in education, in the workplace, in public and private spaces and those related to migration. Written by geographers, sociologists and economists, this book draws on a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches and compares different spatial and temporal scales. It highlights the importance of geographical space as a vehicle for the expression, creation and reproduction of social, racial, economic and gender inequalities.

Download or read book Reducing Inequalities in Europe written by Daniel Vaughan-Whitehead and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 635 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International debate has recently focused on increased inequalities and the adverse effects they may have on both social and economic developments. Income inequality, now at its highest level for the past half-century, may not only undermine the sustainability of European social policy but also put at risk Europe’s sustainable recovery. A common feature of recent reports on inequality (ILO, OECD, IMF, 2015–17) is their recognition that the causes emerge from mechanisms in the world of work. The purpose of this book is to investigate the possible role of industrial relations, and labour policies more generally, in reducing these inequalities.

Download or read book Revue de l'urbanisation en République démocratique du Congo written by The World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2018-08-23 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avec une population urbaine estimée à 43% en 2016, la proportion de la population urbaine de la République démocratique du Congo est la troisième plus importante en Afrique subsaharienne, après celle de l’Afrique du Sud et du Nigéria. Avec un taux d’urbanisation de 4.1% par an, les villes congolaises accueillent ainsi, chaque année, 1 million de citadins supplémentaires. Si cette tendance se poursuit, la population urbaine pourrait doubler en l’espace de 15 ans seulement. De plus, avec ses 12 millions d’habitants et un taux de croissance de 5.1% par an, Kinshasa pourrait devenir d’ici 2030 la ville la plus peuplée d’Afrique. Cette forte croissance urbaine s’accompagne de deux défis majeurs : d’une part, celui de rendre les villes habitables et inclusives en répondant à la forte demande de services sociaux et d’infrastructures, d’éducation, de santé et d’autres services de base et à l’importante pauvreté urbaine, et d’autre part, celui de rendre les villes plus productives grâce à une meilleure concentration de l’activité économique. La Revue de l’Urbanisation de la République démocratique du Congo montre que le pays s’urbanise à des rythmes différents, et identifie 5 régions (Est, Sud, Centre, Ouest et Bassin du Congo) qui présente des défis et des opportunités qui leur sont spéficiques. La Revue propose des mesures de politiques publiques sous trois ensembles d’instruments †“ les « 3 Is » (Institutions, Infrastructures et Interventions) pour aider chaque région à répondre à ses besoins spécifiques tout en tirant parti des effets d’agglomération économique. Ainsi, il est proposé pour les régions à urbanisation naissante (région de l’est) d’investir dans les Institutions courantes qui régulent les marchés (foncier par exemple), et fournissent les services de base. A mesure que l’on progresse vers un stage d’urbanisation intermédiaire (régions du sud et du centre) et que les marchés se consolident, les Infrastructures de liaison extra-urbaines et intra-urbaines deviennent essentielles. Les infrastructures de transport qui relient les villes et l’arrière-pays rural peuvent intégrer les marchés de produits, accroître le commerce inter-régional et faciliter la spécialisation économique. Dans les régions à urbanisation avancée (région de l’ouest), les priorités consistent à consolider les institutions, accroître les investissements en infrastructures de liaison et renforcer les Interventions ciblées ainsi que les actions à mener pour réduire la formation des quartiers précaires à Kinshasa, par exemple. La République démocratique du Congo est à la croisée des chemins. La récente baisse des prix des matières premières pourrait être l’occasion pour le pays de diversifier son économie et d’investir dans le secteur manufacturier. Le moment est indiqué pour que les décideurs congolais investissent dans des villes capables d’être le moteur de la transformation structurelle du pays et d’une meilleure intégration avec les marchés africains et mondiaux afin de conduire le pays sur la voie de l’émergence.

Download or read book Mobilities and Inequality written by Hanja Maksim and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book opens up the debate on the interrelations between space and mobilities with regard to different dimensions of social inequality. Based on the premise that the dynamics caused by modernization, globalization, migration and social change affect the structuring of the social fabric, the focus of the book is to illuminate these processes of social and spatial re-structurings. A leading team of contributors from the Cosmobilities network highlight different aspects of inequality in relation to mobilities, such as gender, supplying transport infrastructure, job-related relocations, multi-locality, social network geography, and socio-spatial development.

This book was released on 2018-04-11 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite a spectacular expansion of the higher education sector in Sub-Saharan Africa, the supply of tertiary education has generally failed to keep pace with demand, and the region continues to lag behind all other regions in terms of access to tertiary education. This is in part a consequence of deeply entrenched patterns of inequitable access to higher education, and the perpetuation of what researchers refer to as “elite systems.†? To date, access to tertiary education in Sub-Saharan Africa has unduly benefited students drawn from the region’s wealthiest households, and overall enrollment remains disproportionately male and metropolitan. These factors stifle the catalytic potential of higher education, corroding its potential for driving economic growth and sustaining poverty reduction. Instead, patterns of access to tertiary education have generally reinforced and reproduced social inequality, instead of eroding its pernicious social and economic effects. Sharing Higher Education’s Promise beyond the Few in Sub-Saharan Africa aims to inform an improved understanding of equity in tertiary enrollment in Sub-Saharan African countries and to examine the extent to which inequity functions as a bottleneck, inhibiting the ability of African universities to effectively drive improvements in overall quality of life and economic competitiveness. In our survey of the evidence, we also aim to identify which policies most effectively address the challenge of promoting equity of access in Sub-Saharan African tertiary education systems. To achieve these objectives, the book collects, generates, and analyzes empirical evidence on patterns of equity; examines the underlying causes of inequity; and evaluates government policies for addressing inequity.

Download or read book Urban Access for the 21st Century written by Elliott D. Sclar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets out a road map for the provision of urban access for all. For most of the last century cities have followed a path of dependency on car dominated urban transport favouring the middle classes. Urban Access for the 21st Century seeks to change this. Policies need to be more inclusive of the accessibility needs of the urban poor. Change requires redesigning the existing public finance systems that support urban mobility. The aim is to diminish their embedded biases towards automobile-based travel. Through a series of chapters from international contributors, the book brings together expertise from different fields. It shows how small changes can incentivize large positive developments in urban transport and create truly accessible cities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection moves from COVID to Kairos, engaged with the legacy of Paul Tillich. Liminal spaces reflect ambiguous transitional moments in human consciousness and culture. In early 2020, cultures and states turned inward for protection, exacerbating intertwined health, political, racial justice, and economic crises. Tillich would have understood these overlapping challenges to be heralding a kairotic moment, reflecting simultaneous crises and opportunities. The collected essays reflect on the intersections of COVID and Kairos. Authors engage numerous ethical challenges precipitated by the current Kairos moment, thinking through and with Tillich. Other essays offer reflections on our cultural moment, engaging topics from public health to video games to hate speech. Reflecting on the cultural moment, this collection offers unique insight into the Tillichian legacy for the present and future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the impact of advances in genetics and assisted reproduction technologies on family law, human rights and the rights of the child, including the effects of international treaties on national legislation. It surveys the theoretical, ethical and legal discussions with regard to biotechnology and family law issues and the search for a balance between safeguarding respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms and the need to ensure freedom of research. However, biotechnology impinges not only on isolated individuals and their rights, but also on unborn children, the family as a network of living relationships and the basic structure of any society, as well as the foundation of parentage and kinship, social organization as a whole and, finally, mankind itself. As the attention of the World turns to cloning, this book will contribute to the search for a balance between the rights and freedoms of born and yet to be born human beings and the quest for new technologies.

Download or read book Inequality and Climate Change written by Carlo Delgado-Ramos and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of the twenty-first century. Anthropogenic activities, such as fossil fuel consumption and other activities focused on enhancing economic growth, have been identified as the main drivers of changes in the environment that defy planetary boundaries. The transgression of planetary boundaries has profound implications for practically all biophysical and human systems and their impact could also be related to the exacerbation of existing problems such as land tenure insecurity, poverty and inequality, marginalization of poorer populations, climate induced migration, and resource wars or conflicts. From a global South perspective, research on the multifaceted nature of climate change is thus necessary and appropriate, including the analysis of socioeconomic, political and cultural aspects. This book is an outcome of the Comparative Research Workshop on Inequality and Climate Change: Perspectives from the South of the South-South Collaborative Programme of CLACSO-CODESRIA-IDEAS. It gathers a diversity of case studies from the South with ample biophysical differences and particular social and cultural realities. As such, it is a fresh contribution offering a vantage point from which to examine some of the current perspectives on inequality and climate change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1987, this book shows that there is still considerable continuity in the practices and ideas of marriage in Afican against a background of social and economic change. This book discusses the diverse marriage forms in Africa and explores the different systems some of which can be understood in terms of Levi-Strauss's distinciton between complex and semi-complex structures, while others throw up questions of filiation, child custoidanship and rights secured through bridewealth transactions.
