A STUDY ON WORK-RELATED FACTORS CAUSING DISRUPTIVE FAMILY CONCERNS DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC WITH REFERENCE TO DUAL INCOME FAMILIES OF HYDERABAD CITY

We all are having commonly certain level of stress and challenges during our normal life. In the face of the Covid-19, we are being stressed in a number of ways because of financial, isolation, lockdown, employment uncertainty and job related pressures. The Nationwide lockdown because of coronavirus has led to people working from home and thus, spending more time with their families and partners. But India is seeing a rise in cases of domestic abuse and more people in China are filing for divorce. Families are complicated and therefore, there is no simple answer to whether the coronavirus lockdown is actually leading to strengthening of relationships or not. For some people, families are the primary triggers of their mental health issues while some others are part of deeply abusive families. In this context, the study focuses on the analysis of the work related factors and its association with demographics like gender, age, job position, experience and family size in relation with disruptive family concerns and also the impact of work related factors on family concerns during covid-19 in relation with the dual income families in Hyderabad city.It is descriptive study in nature. The opinions of 150 jobholders are collected from the Hyderabad City. Non-probabilistic nature of convenient sample technique is applied for collection of data. A well-structured questionnaire is admired. Data analysis techniques that are descriptive statistics, reliability tests, regression analysis and ANOVA were applied. It is revealed that the work related factors namely job security, work timings, payment of salary, workload, communication, team work, leadership, recognition are greatly disrupting the family concerns and also the demographic factors have shown significant association with the work related factors and disruptive family concerns

Implementing the Rights of the Child

Although almost all countries have ratified the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child (UN CRC), children’s rights are violated every day, including in Europe. Many decisions that will affect the child’s life, for instance regarding family interventions in child abusive families, or being removed from their home, are made by adults unilaterally without taking the child’s opinion into consideration (CRC, Art. 12). Since most children and adults are unaware of children’s rights, these rights are regularly violated by their parents, youth professionals and other children in addition to society as a whole. Therefore, the objective of this project is to change the current practice and monitor the changes. To reach this goal: 1) A series of pilot projects will be conducted in order to raise awareness and to implement children’s rights in daily practice, among youth professionals and children. 2) These projects will be monitored through longitudinal multi-method (qualitative and quantitative) studies. 3) Networking conferences will be organized to a) design the pilot projects in the initial stage, and b) learn about the conditions in the final stages.
