El presente artículo explica la construcción social de la división sexual del trabajo y cómo esta división asigna valores distintos a trabajos diferentes. El debate ha transcendido en la institucionalidad costarricense por medio de la corresponsabilidad social del cuido, partiendo de dos fenómenos todavía no resueltos: el cambio en la composición de las familias y la incorporación de la mujer en el mercado de trabajo, situaciones que han generado nuevas condiciones para las mujeres. Además, se abordan los avances en materia jurídica y de políticas públicas, el papel del movimiento feminista, con el objetivo de extender la corresponsabilidad social del cuido por parte de todos los sectores de la sociedad costarricense y alcanzar el bienestar de todas las personas. ABSTRACT The article describes the social construction of gender of the division of work by gender, and how this separation assigns different values to different jobs. This debate has transcended the Costa Rican institutionalization through co-responsibility for care work from two unresolved phenomena: the change in household composition and the entry of women into the labor market; situations that have created new conditions for women. Furthermore, the article addresses advances in legal and public policy matters, the role played by the feminist movement with the aim of extending the social co-responsibility for care work by all sectors of Costa Rican society and for the well-being of people.

Cultural Embeddedness

Analogously to the works in the field of new social studies of childhood, this contribution deals with the concept of childhood as a social construction, in which children are considered as social actors in their own living environment, engaged in interpretive reproduction of the social. In this perspective the concept of agency is strongly stressed, and the vulnerability of children is not sufficiently taken into account. But in combining vulnerability and agency lies the possibility to consider the perspective of the subjects in the context of their social, political and cultural embeddedness. In this paper we show that what children say, what is important to them in general and for their well-being, is shaped by the care experiences within the family and by their social contexts. The argumentation for the intertwining of vulnerability and agency is exemplified by the expressions of an interviewed girl about her birth and by reference to philosophical concepts about birth and natality.

Women Researchers

The article considers the position of men and women researchers in the labor market in the precarization context. It is revealed that from the viewpoint of formal signs of the work precarity, researchers are in a safe situation. Most of them work under an indefinite contract, having a set of social guarantees secured by the Labor Code, and rarely change jobs. But the social well-being of scientists indicates that the formal description of the situation is at odds with reality. Gender context of science is the following: there are fewer women than men among researchers; there are more men among those holding the academic degrees of doctors, so men occupy positions more preferable in terms of status than women; the average salary of male scientists is higher than the female; men have more opportunities to influence decision-making in their organization. Gender asymmetry in the scientific field persists in Russia.

Bibliographic Study

Las teorías del emprendimiento que han sido ampliamente recogidas, incluyen una diversidad de definiciones y de criterios para el estudio del fenómeno emprendedor femenino y su impacto en desarrollo comunitario. Por ello, un primer estudio bibliográfico resulta imprescindible para la focalización del presente trabajo. La metodología utilizada se basa en el análisis de los datos obtenidos a partir de una entrevista aplicada a una muestra de mujeres emprendedoras que proporcionaron datos, que fueron procesados y evaluados, lo que permitió deducir que el número de emprendedores en el barrio Los Matías va en aumento y que los emprendimientos que se han creado cuentan con algunas de las características propias de su entorno, mientras que también responden a cualidades que se derivan de la actuación de las mujeres. El emprendimiento femenino es influyente en el desarrollo comunitario, que incorpora y mejora el bienestar social de las personas excluidas del mercado laboral y vulnerable, como las mujeres.   Abstract The theories of entrepreneurship that have been widely included include a diversity of definitions and criteria for the study of female entrepreneurship and its impact on community development. Therefore, a first bibliographic study is essential for the focus of this work. The methodology used is based on the analysis of the data obtained from an interview applied to a sample of female entrepreneurs who provided data, which were processed and evaluated, which allowed to deduce that the number of entrepreneurs in the Los Matías neighborhood goes in Increase and that the enterprises that have created have some of the characteristics of their environment, while also respond to qualities that are derived from the performance of women. Female entrepreneurship is influential in community development, which incorporates and improves the social welfare of people excluded from the labor market and vulnerable, such as women.

This chapter reviews the institutional actions and discourses linked with public policies affecting young people in Latin America, highlighting three large institutions that have impacted this sector in the region: the army, the justice system, and schools, which view young people as a group at risk who must be helped. Next, the chapter discusses youth within the framework of their interactions and well-being, as part of one of the distinctive aspects of social pedagogy—placing it at the center of public policy. Finally, the chapter discusses the relevance of a dialogue between adults and young people that channels the demands, conflicts, and concerns of both in order to produce new youth policies, starting from the recognition of young people through a generational perspective that must be present in all government actions.

Shed Light

This article investigates the role of international labour migration from Pakistan’s Northwest for the sending communities’ social resilience. It focuses on the implications of male out‐migration for the women who stay behind. This article refers to Bourdieu’s Theory of Practice to shed light on the gendered nature of vulnerability and resilience. Contradictions identified between heightened vulnerability at the level of individual women and strengthened resilience of the household underline the social construction of scale in the analysis of resilience. With his emphasis on material as well as symbolic resources determining opportunities and well‐being, Bourdieu provides an analytical key for the identification of such ‘uncomfortable layers of resilience’.

It is a striking—yet all too familiar—fact about human beings that our belief-forming processes can be so distorted by fears, desires, and prejudices that an otherwise sensible person may sincerely uphold false claims about the world in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. When we describe someone as being “in denial,” we mean that he or she is personally, emotionally threatened by some situation—and consequently has failed to assess the situation properly according to the evidence. People in denial engage in motivated reasoning about their situation: They (sincerely) argue and interpret evidence in light of a preestablished conclusion. One significant type of reason-distorting emotional threat is a threat to one’s ideological worldview. When group interests, creeds, or dogmas are threatened by unwelcome factual information, biased thinking becomes ideological denialism. (One critical example of such denialism is the widespread denial of settled climate science.) Denial can stand in the way of individual well-being, and ideological denialism can stand in the way of good public policy. This book is a wide-ranging examination of denial and denialism. It offers a readable overview of the social psychology of denial, and examines the role of ideological denialism in conflicts over public policy, politics, and culture. Chapters focus on our philosophical and scientific understanding of denial, denial of scientific consensus, denialism in political economy, and denialism in religious belief. An afterword examines proposals for improving science communication in light of findings about motivated reasoning and denial.

Construction Of Place

A burgeoning literature provides evidence that neighborhood matters, especially in relation to urban adolescent development. Exposure to crime and poverty has been shown to negatively impact key aspects of development, such as physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Traditional theoretical frameworks identifying the social mechanisms of place fail to critically examine how neighborhood effects are socially constructed at the individual level, and rather assume aggregate community narratives. Such blanket measures of neighborhood effects do not account for individual interpretations of space or the impacts of larger structural forces on decision making and developmental processes. A unique combination of qualitative GIS methodologies was utilized to explore how urban adolescents define, navigate, and engage their surrounding environment to better understand the mechanisms of neighborhood effects, and how these interactions shape development. Sedentary and walking interview data were paired with GPS data to develop a real-time understanding of the spaces across which youth were navigating. The findings from this work suggest that how youth perceive space is a complex process, stemming from the interaction of structural and social systems, and highlight the value of understanding varying resident experiences when considering definitions of neighborhood. This study begins to fill a gap in the neighborhood effects’ literature by developing an argument for the social construction of place as an alternative to traditional methodological and theoretical frameworks.
