Book Description
OBJECTIVES: Selected government and non-government agencies (e.g. those involved in labour, industry, social welfare, community development, rural development, and matters concerning women) able to initiate actions to facilitate women homeworkers' access to social services and socio-legal protection. FINDINGS: Much progress towards the achievement of the objectives had been made in Thailand and the Philippines, while the pace had been slower in Indonesia. The project design was generally realistic although it was unreasonable to expect the project to result in legislation protecting the women or their inclusion in the State social security schemes. Considerable progress had been made in improving socio-economic benefits in Thailand through the work of a network of homeworkers called Chiangmai Homenet. The project had helped empower women who had become active in local and national groups acting as advocates for homeworkers. This had improved their status economically and politically. The development of homeworkers' organisations varied: the national network in the Philippines was well-established, a basis had been laid for setting up a national network in Thailand whilst Indonesia had still to become independent. RECOMMENDS: Consolidation phase focusing on ensuring sustainability with emphasis on strengthening the intermediary NGOs and homeworkers' organisations. Encouraging governments to include homeworkers in their national development plans. LESSONS LEARNED: The project demonstrated that NGOs are the key actors in organising homeworkers. NGOs and homeworkers' organisations can campaign for the development of government policy and legislation in support of homeworkers within the overall government policy environment which supports employment promotion in the informal sector. However, considerable time is needed to bring about real improvements in homeworkers' living and working conditions.
Gender, Islam and Democracy in Indonesia
Author: Kathryn RobinsonPublisher: Routledge

Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
This book explores the relationship between gender, religion and political action in Indonesia, examining the patterns of gender orders that have prevailed in recent history, and demonstrating the different forms of social power this has afforded to women. It sets out the part played by women in the nationalist movement, and the role of the women’s movement in the structuring of the independent Indonesian state, the politics of the immediate post-independence period and the transition to the authoritarian New Order. It analyses in detail the gender relations of the New Order regime, focused around the unitary family form supposed by the family system expounded in the New Order ideology and the contradictory implications of the opening up of the economy to foreign capital and ideas, for gender relations. It examines the forms of political activism that were possible for the women’s movement under the New Order, and the role it played in the fall of Suharto and the transition to democracy. The relationship between Islam and women in Indonesia is also addressed, with particular focus on the way in which Islam became a critical focus for political dissent in the late New Order period. Overall, this book provides a thorough investigation of the relationship between gender, religion and democracy in Indonesia, and is a vital resource for students of gender studies and Indonesian affairs.

Youth Migration and Transitions to Adulthood in Developing Countries

Book Description
Youth Migration and Transitions to Adulthood in Developing Countries THE ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science July 2013, Volume 648 Editors: Fatima Juarez, Thomas LeGrand, Cynthia Lloyd, Susheela Singh and Véronique Hertrich Currently, it is estimated that there are 1.1 billion young people aged 15–24 in the developing world, accounting for nearly one-fifth (18.6 percent) of the total population. During this time of life, young people experience enormous changes due to physical maturation, which is accompanied by cognitive, social/emotional, and interpersonal changes. It is a period when the influence of parents and families gradually diminishes and the influence of external factors, such as peers; the media; the educational environment; and, more generally, the economic, social, and cultural environments in which they live, are increasingly prominent. The articles in this volume of The ANNALS can be classified by three themes: migration in the context of transitions to adulthood, including schooling, employment, and family formation; consequences of migration for health, reproductive outcomes, and childbearing; and migration strategies and consequences. All the articles presented here are innovative in their approach, and their findings advance our understanding of youths’ migration and transitions to adulthood in developing countries. These studies and their findings clearly attest to the enormous diversity of situations of youth migration, transitions to adulthood, and the contexts in which they occur across developing countries. For some adolescents and young adults, migration brings with it very serious risks and often negative consequences, while for others it opens horizons and is associated with expanding opportunities in both the social and economic spheres.
