Book excerpt: Exploring the lives of the street children of Latin America through their own eyes and voices, Hidden Lives builds on the concept of children's rights enshrined in the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Through interviews with children across the continent, as well as teachers, welfare workers and other adults involved in their lives, Green argues forcefully that child participation is both a fight and a necessity if child-centered social programs are to succeed. More broadly, harnessing the energy of children could help the region tackle pressing environmental and social problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The (Human Opportunity Index) HOI calculates how personal circumstances (like birthplace, wealth, race or gender) impact a child's probability of accessing the services that are necessary to succeed in life, like timely education, running water or connection to electricity. It was first published in 2008, applied to Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). The findings were eye-opening: behind the enormous inequality that characterizes the region's distribution of development outcomes (income, land ownership and educational attainment, among others), there is an even more worrying inequality of development opportunities. It is not only rewards that are unequal; it is also chances. The problem is not just about equality; it is about equity too. The playing field is uneven from the start. This book reports on the status and evolution of human opportunity in LAC. It builds on the 2008 publication in several directions. First, it uses newly-available data to expand the set of opportunities and personal circumstances under analysis. The data is representative of some 200 million children living in 19 countries over the last 15 years. Second, it compares human opportunity in LAC with that of developed countries, among them the US and France, two very different models of social policy. This allows for illuminating exercises in benchmarking and extrapolation. And third, it looks at human opportunity within countries across regions, states and cities. This gives us a preliminary glimpse at the geographic dimension of equity, and at the role that different federal structures play. The overall message that emerges is one of cautious hope. LAC is making progress in opening the doors of development to all. But it still has a long way to go. At the current pace, it would take, on average, a generation for the region to achieve universal access to just the basic services that make for human opportunity. Seen from the viewpoint of equity, even most successful nations lag far behind the developed world. And intra-county regional disparities are large, and barely converging. Fortunately, there is much policy makers can do about it.

Download or read book Housing and Belonging in Latin America written by Christien Klaufus and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intricacies of living in contemporary Latin American cities include cases of both empowerment and restriction. In Lima, residents built their own homes and formed community organizations, while in Rio de Janeiro inhabitants of the favelas needed to be “pacified” in anticipation of international sporting events. Aspirations to “get ahead in life” abound in the region, but so do multiple limitations to realizing the dream of upward mobility. This volume captures the paradoxical histories and experiences of urban life in Latin America, offering new empirical and theoretical insights to scholars.

Download or read book Housing Policy in Latin American Cities written by Peter M. Ward and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-03 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the 1960s, rapid urbanization in developing regions in Latin America, Africa, and Asia was marked by the expansion of low-income "irregular" settlements that developed informally and which, by the 2000s, often constituted between 20-60 percent of the built-up area of metropolitan areas and other large cities. There has been a variety of research directed at the housing policies involved with these informal settlements, yet apart from the activities of Latin American Housing Network (LAHN), there has been minimal attention directed at the earliest portion of settlements that formed some 25-40 years ago that now form a large part of the intermediate ring of the cities. This volume breaks new ground by opening up a new generation of housing policy in Latin America cities with broader application for other developing countries. Its editors bring unique perspectives: Peter Ward coordinates the LAHN, and Edith Jiménez and María Di Virgilio are founding members of the network who have led project teams in Guadalajara and Buenos Aires respectively. Developed as a coordinated collaborative research project, the volume encompasses nine Latin American countries and eleven cities. The editors and contributors offer original perspectives on the policy challenges facing much of the low income housing of Latin American cities; document the changing nature of the "first suburbs"; present comparative survey findings in order to better understand the types of consolidated settlements that exist today; describe the physical nature of the dwellings themselves; identify the reasons behind market dysfunction that impede the operation of consolidated housing informal markets in Latin American cities; and outline a new generation of housing policies that will support the processes of densification, rehabilitation, and regeneration of these settlements. This book is the first and only composite overview of the research findings and advocacy of the generic policy lines that the LAHN identifies as central to a new generation of housing strategies and approaches. Researchers and practitioners working on housing theory, housing policy, comparative spatial and sociological research, and urban development issues will find the book highly significant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empirical evidence for several developed countries suggests that children live with only one biological parent are particularly likely to experience economic disadvantages, and that child support plays a significant role ameliorating these difficulties. The three empirical essays presented in this dissertation present distinct aspects of single parenthood and their association with children's education and poverty in the United States and South American countries. Chapter 2 uses unique longitudinal administrative data to examine the relationship between nonresident fathers' formal child support, established through a legal agreement, and children's reading and math test scores in the US. This study finds that formal support is positively associated with eighth-graders' test scores. However, small contributions, particularly those below the median, are not significantly linked to children's scores. The findings also indicate that formal support is more important for low-income children's achievement than for their economically advantaged peers. Chapter 3 studies the association between living arrangements and children's math and reading test scores across five South American countries: Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Uruguay. Using cross-sectional data from 2013, I find that living in an extended household benefits children from single-parent families but not their peers from two-parent families. Children in extended households experience larger educational disadvantages in Chile and Uruguay, where this type of arrangement has not been historically common, than in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Chapter 4 uses data from the National Household Surveys from the period 2011-2015 to explore the role of child support in the economic well-being of Peruvian children, differentiating between urban and rural areas. The results indicate that child support is a relevant source of income for those families who receive it, especially those living in poverty. Among child support recipients, child support brought 44 percent of children out of poverty and 81 percent out of extreme poverty. Among support recipients who were poor pre-support, the poverty gap post-support is significantly reduced to almost a third. The descriptive analyses also show that child support contributes more to the reduction of poverty in urban than in rural areas. Chapter 5 includes implications for policy and research.
