Book Synopsis A Life in Balance? by : Catherine Krull
Download or read book A Life in Balance? written by Catherine Krull and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-02-28 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magazine articles, talk shows, and commercials advise us that our happiness and well-being rest on striking a balance between work and family. It goes unsaid, however, that the advice is based on an outmoded and unrealistic ideal. This provocative volume challenges the notion often offered in support of neo-liberal agendas that paid work (employment) and unpaid work (caregiving and housework) are separate and competing spheres, rather than overlapping aspects of a single existence. Alternative approaches to integrating work and family must be taken into account if we hope to build truly equitable family and childcare policies.
Book Synopsis A Question of Commitment by : R. Brian Howe
Download or read book A Question of Commitment written by R. Brian Howe and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1991, the Government of Canada ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, requiring governments at all levels to ensure that Canadian laws and practices safeguard the rights of children. A Question of Commitment: Children’s Rights in Canada is the first book to assess the extent to which Canada has fulfilled this commitment. The editors, R. Brian Howe and Katherine Covell, contend that Canada has wavered in its commitment to the rights of children and is ambivalent in the political culture about the principle of children’s rights. A Question of Commitment expands the scope of the editors’ earlier book, The Challenge of Children’s Rights for Canada, by including the voices of specialists in particular fields of children’s rights and by incorporating recent developments.

Book Synopsis The Social Economy by : Hasmet M. Uluorta
Download or read book The Social Economy written by Hasmet M. Uluorta and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-01-13 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critically examining economic developments within the last sixty years, this book argues that a crisis in global social reproduction is altering existing understandings of work, labour and the economy. The author of this original volume, Hasmet M. Uluorta, contends that the crisis in the global economy is triggering a potential paradigm shift from one defined under the rubric of Employment to an alternative theorized as Work. Discussing the Employment paradigm that formed the dominant mode of development after the Second World War through to the 1970s, the author considers the economic and political forces that resulted in its eventual decline. Focusing on already existing practices of organizations and workers in Toronto, Canada, the book goes on to consider the shift to Work and the consequent rise in the social economy which has broken down conventional categories of work and leisure. The author concludes that the social economy presents fundamental challenges to understandings that underpinned the previous economic order. Building on insights from a range of disciplines, The Social Economy will be of interest to students and scholars of international political economy, international relations, labour studies, sociology, and globalization studies.
Book Synopsis Calling for Change by : Elizabeth A. Sheehy
Download or read book Calling for Change written by Elizabeth A. Sheehy and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unique in both scope and perspective, Calling for Change investigates the status of women within the Canadian legal profession ten years after the first national report on the subject was published by the Canadian Bar Association. Elizabeth Sheehy and Sheila McIntyre bring together essays that investigate a wide range of topics, from the status of women in law schools, the practising bar, and on the bench, to women's grassroots engagement with law and with female lawyers from the frontlines. Contributors not only reflect critically on the gains, losses, and barriers to change of the past decade, but also provide blueprints for political action. Academics, community activists, practitioners, law students, women litigants, and law society benchers and staff explore how egalitarian change is occurring and/or being impeded in their particular contexts. Each of these unique voices offers lessons from their individual, collective, and institutional efforts to confront and counter the interrelated forms of systemic inequality that compromise women's access to education and employment equity within legal institutions and, ultimately, to equal justice in Canada. Published in English.
Download or read book Do Men Mother? written by Andrea Doucet and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2006-11-04 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More and more, fathers are deciding to stay at home and care for their children rather than work full-time outside of the home. More and more, Canadian families are lead by single fathers. Shining a spotlight on the lives of stay at home dads and single fathers, Do Men Mother? provides groundbreaking evidence of dramatic changes in mothering and fathering in Canada. Using evidence gathered in a four-year in-depth qualitative study, including interviews with over 100 fathers - from truck drivers to insurance salesmen, physicians to artists - Andrea Doucet illustrates how men are breaking the mold of traditional parenting models. Doucet's research examines key questions such as: What leads fathers to trade earning for caring? How do fathers navigate through the 'maternal worlds' of mothers and infants? Are men mothering or are they redefining fatherhood? Do Men Mother? illuminates fathers' candid reflections on caring and the intricate social worlds that men and women inhabit as they 'love and let go' of their children. In asking and unravelling the question 'do men mother,' this study tells a compelling story about Canadian parents radically re-visioning child care and domestic responsibilities at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

This book was released on 2024-05-15 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dynamics of Capacity Building for Sustainable Governance: Insights for Law & Order Administration" delves into the interplay of psychological capital and transformational leadership within government organizations responsible for law and order. Drawing from extensive quantitative analysis presented in the author's doctoral thesis, the book underscores the potential for achieving enduring solutions in governance. It demonstrates how the strategic integration of psychological capital can address the relentless demands faced by law enforcement officials, fostering resilience, hope, efficacy, and optimism. Through a nuanced examination, this work elucidates the pivotal role of these positive psychological resources in enhancing the capacity of government bodies. It reveals how cultivating a resilient mindset and fostering unwavering optimism serve as vital pillars for sustaining effective governance amidst evolving challenges. Additionally, the exploration of transformational leadership emerges as a catalyst for organizational advancement, offering a pathway for law and order agencies to embrace sustainable governance practices. By recognizing the symbiotic relationship between psychological capital and transformational leadership, leaders can empower their teams to navigate the uncertainties inherent in public service. As the imperative for change reverberates throughout the governance landscape, this book champions the transformative potential of psychological capital and transformational leadership in shaping the future of public administration.
Book Synopsis Managing Work-life Balance by : David Clutterbuck
Download or read book Managing Work-life Balance written by David Clutterbuck and published by CIPD Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work-life balance is one of the most important issues facing employers and managers today. Employees at all levels are no longer willing to trade their quality of life in order to get a decent standard of living. Managers can no longer afford to ignore the costs that the long-hours culture imposes on their organisation. Overwork causes stress-related absenteeism, poor retention levels, low creativity, appalling customer service and unethical employee behaviour. Combine that with the risks of being sued by a stressed employee or a parent who wanted to work flexibly, and the business case for paying real attention to work-life issues has never been stronger. This text sets out the roadmap for moving your organisation towards a positive work-life culture. With clear and practical advice for HR and line managers alike, Managing Work-Life Balance shows you how to engage employers, managers and employees in the process of controlling the inherent conflicts between the worlds of work and home.
