Children's Chances: How Countries Can Move from Surviving to Thriving
ISBN: 9780674066816 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Most parents care deeply about their children. If that were enough, we would not see the inequalities we currently do in children's opportunities and healthy development--children out of school, children laboring, children living in poverty. While the scale of the problems can seem overwhelming, history has shown that massive progress is possible on problems that once seemed unsolvable. Within the span of less than twenty-five years, the proportion of people living in extreme poverty has been cut in half, the number of children under age five that die each day has dropped by over 12,000,...

Protecting Childhood in the AIDS Pandemic: Finding Solutions That Work
ISBN: 9780199765126 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Every year over a quarter of a million children die of AIDS. Another two million children currently live with HIV, most in sub-Saharan Africa. Millions more are affected when AIDS enters their families or their communities. Orphans are perhaps the most visible: 15 million children have lost one or both parents to AIDS; 12 million of them live in sub-Saharan Africa. The increasing burden of HIV/AIDS falls heavily on extended families who support HIV-infected family members, care for relatives who are sick and dying, and for children who are left behind. Adults who take on these caregiving...

The Widening Gap
ISBN: 9780465013098 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This hard-hitting book draws on the first systematic national research on how the need to meet family obligations is affecting working Americans of all social classes and ethnic groups. What happens when kids get sick? When an elderly parent is hospitalized? How do poor families cope with work-family demands? Jody Heymann's research points to a widening gap between working families and the health and development of children. Outdated labor policy and practice must be brought into the twenty-first century, argues Heymann. To do less is to abandon the precepts of equal opportunity on which...

ISBN: 9780195156591 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the last half-century, radical changes have rippled through the workplace and the home from Boston to Bombay.

Disability and Equity at Work
ISBN: 9780199981212 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Despite international and national guarantees of equal rights, there remains a great deal to be done to achieve global employment equality for individuals with disabilities. In OECD countries, the employment rate of persons with disabilities was just over 40%, compared to 75% for persons without a disability; in many low- and middle-income countries, the employment rates are even lower. There are numerous reasons why persons with disabilities fare poorly in the labor market; Disability and Equity at Work is the first book to document what can be done to improve this imbalance. Chapters in...

ISBN: 9780199974702 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. There is very little argument that the world is facing severe environmental challenges. Ongoing air and water pollution, increasing energy consumption, and the depletion of natural resources have all placed considerable stress on the capacity of our environment to support the present quality of human life in a sustainable manner. Ensuring a Sustainable Future does what few previous works have: it examines these trends' disproportionate impact on the poor and the economically viable solutions that can serve to remedy them -- solutions that simultaneously address environmental and...

Raising the Global Floor: Dismantling the Myth That We Canat Afford Good Working Conditions for Everyone
ISBN: 9780804768900 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. News stories on the impact of job loss appear daily in the media. Less reported is that working conditions in many countries around the world have deteriorated as rapidly as jobs have been lost--and this affects ten times as many people. Working conditions significantly impact our health, the amount of time we can spend with family, our options during momentous life events (such as the birth of a child or the death of a parent), and whether we keep or lose a job when the unexpected occurs. Inexplicably, the global community has nearly universally accepted the argument that any country that...

ISBN: 9781107679146 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. While laws exist in many nations to guarantee equal rights across gender, race, and ethnicity, they are often not implemented. Around the world, discrimination, biases, and avoidable barriers affect children's chances to access education and health care, and adults' chances to attain jobs, earn equal pay, and hold leadership roles in countries. Moreover, in some countries, it is legal to markedly discriminate based on characteristics ranging from religion to sexual orientation to disability. Making Equal Rights Real brings together leaders from around the world who have been working...
