Families With Children

The situation created by pandemic COVID-19 is uncertain and full of challenges for the population and especially for families with children. The article is written based on the study „ The COVID-19 pandemic impact on the family”, realized within the framework of the project „ The attenuation of the COVID-19 pandemic negative effects on the family „ implemented by the DRC. The applied research method was the sociological semi-structured interview with parents that have children under the age of 18. In the actual circumstances, the respondents have underlined that they experience the gravity of the situation and the essential consequences that started with the pandemic. According to the data of the study, some families face serious fifi nancial difficulties caused by the loss of jobs and decreases in income. The school and kindergartens shut down have produced a series of problems in our country concerning the provision of children with education, safe and qualitative care. The families don’t have all the abilities and necessary resources to adapt to new conditions, but the families have often adopted some strategies to confront the poor situation which didn’t always prove to be appropriate.

Families With Children

The present study focuses on the particular characteristics of the family with a child with disability and special educational needs (d./s.e.n.). The sample consists of 60 nuclear families: 30 families with children with d./s.e.n. and 30 families with children without d./s.e.n. (in total 234 individuals: 120 parents and 114 children). Semi-structured interview,questionnaires and projective tests were used for data collection. The findings suggest that families raising a child with d./s.e.n present an explicit generational hierarchy. A main factor in the organization and content of roles of the subsystems is the existence of the child with d./s.e.n. The families are child-centered and parental projections in the future are hindered. The siblings function as levers of balance. Moreover, there is no statistically significant difference between parents with and those without a child with d./s.e.n. on the following: (a) family cohesion, adaptability and type of family, (b) the degree of satisfaction from the marital relationship, c) coping strategies, and d) the number of social support networks and the degree of satisfaction that derives from them. The general conclusion of this study is that families raising a child with d./s.e.n. present some common characteristics in their organisation and functioning compared to the families of children without d./s.e.n. At the same time, the families of children with d./s.e.n. have distinguishable dynamics: they present their own rules of organization; however, these do not render them dysfunctional.

Undeserving Poor

This chapter examines the sociocognitive dimensions of cultural categorizations of deservingness. The social issue of poverty has been a persistent source of debate in the American system of policy development, influenced by conceptual distinctions between the “haves” and “have-nots,” “working moms” and “unemployed dads,” and the “deserving poor” and the “undeserving poor.” Although there is a wealth of literature discussing the ideological underpinnings of stratification systems, these discussions often focus on categorical distinctions between the poor and the nonpoor, with much less discussion of distinctions made among the poor. Moreover, while scholars of culture and policy have long referenced the importance of cultural categories of worthiness in policy development, the theoretical significance of these distinctions has been largely understudied. I expand the discourse on the relationship between cultural representations of worth and social welfare policy by exploring how these categories are conceptualized. Drawing on analytical tools from a sociology of perception framework, I create a model that examines deservingness along continuums of morality and eligibility to highlight the taken-for-granted cultural subtleties that shape perceptions of the poor. I focus on social filters created by norms of poverty, welfare, and the family to explore how the deserving are differentiated from the undeserving.

How does poverty influence political participation? This question has interested political scientists since the early days of the discipline, but providing a definitive answer has proved difficult. This article focuses on one central aspect of poverty—the experience of acute financial hardship, lasting a few days at a time. Drawing on classic models of political engagement and novel theoretical insights, I argue that by inducing stress, social isolation, and feelings of alienation, acute financial hardship has immediate negative effects on political participation. Inference relies on a natural experiment afforded by the sequence of bank working days that causes short-term financial difficulties for the poor. Using data from three million individuals, personal interviews, and 1,100 elections in Germany, I demonstrate that acute financial hardship reduces both turnout intentions and actual turnout. The results imply that the financial status of the poor on election day can have important consequences for their political representation.

The economic shutdown and national lockdown following the outbreak of COVID-19 have increased demand for unpaid work at home, particularly among families with children, and reduced demand for paid work. Concurrently, the share of the workforce that has relocated its workplace to home has also increased. In this article, we examine the consequences of these processes for the allocation of time among paid work, housework, and care work for men and women in Israel. Using data on 2,027 Israeli adults whom we followed since the first week of March (before the spread of COVID-19), we focus on the effect of the second lockdown in Israel (in September) on the gender division of both paid and unpaid work. We find that as demand for housework caused by the lockdown increases, women—especially with children—increase their housework much more than men do, particularly when they work from home. The consequences of work from home and other flexible work arrangements for gender inequality within the family are discussed.
