The results showed that the potential in the field of natural resources consists of plantations including sago, rubber, river fisheries, honey, and natural forest vegetation. In addition, the economic potential is also very large individuals and groups have implemented the management of sago derivative products such as sago sugar, sago noodles, sago rendang, sago amplang, and various handicrafts from sago such as rumbia roofs, bags and mats. In the field of human resources, there are LPMP village institutions, PKK and KKP, Environmentally Conscious Group, Tohor River Youth, Fish Farming Group, and community network including sago farming groups and youth associations.

Collaboration from stakeholders is required to develop optimally the potential available for better peat life and ecosystem

Influence of social structures on transnational migration duration: the case of Vietnamese contract workers returning from Taiwan

Under this theory, external and internal structures are the two divisions of the social environment. The authors identified external structures that might enable or constraint migrant’s mobility. When negotiating internal structures, Vietnamese women might end their contract early in response to family obligations.Originality/valueThe findings provide insights into how women make their decisions when to return, which may contribute to a better understanding of how to assist women engaged in transnational labour migration.

Type of Employment as a Determinant of Subjective Well-Being: Problems of Comparability of Research Results

The review of empirical studies of the relationship between subjective well-being and the employment type reveals: unlike workers under an open-ended contract, workers with temporary or informal employment show a lower or the same level of subjective well-being, self-employed ones – higher or the same. The results vary depending on the considered indicators of subjective well-being, the criteria for identifying groups of workers, the controlled variables, etc. The use of different models for studying the relationship between subjective well-being and the employment type gives rise to problems of results comparability. Possible sources of contradictions are highlighted in the article. Some of them relate to the measurement of subjective well-being: its indicators vary and are interconnected in different ways with the employment type, have different significance for workers, which may differ not only in the level of subjective well-being, but in the nature of interconnection of its indicators. Another block of methodological difficulties is associated with the classification of workers and their differentiation. Even with the same contract type they are heterogeneous not only in terms of employment conditions, but also in motives and in the nature of subjective well-being. The study of the relationship between the employment type and the subjective well-being of workers requires the development of methodological solutions, including the selection of an informative indicators of subjective well-being, taking into account the structure of the relationship between them, as well as the study of the differentiation of workers and the reconstruction of social types among them.

How American Adults Obtain Work Skills: Results of a New National Survey

Employer-provided training is an important determinant of economic outcomes, yet our understanding of its extent and distribution is well out of date—with the most recent national survey being from 2008. This article updates our understanding of employer-provided training through a 2020 nationally representative survey of 3,648 working civilian adults between the ages of 24 and 64. Results show that while employer-provided training is reasonably extensive, considerable disparities occur along the lines of race, ethnicity, and educational attainment. Additionally, the author contributes to the literature by making clear distinctions among types of employment—standard, contract (those employed by a contract company but working onsite at another firm), and freelancer (those with no employer per se). Contract workers receive considerably less employer training than do employees who work under standard arrangements. Findings are robust to a range of job skill measures as well as skill specificity. The author also examines the relationship between employer-provided training and whether people seek out training on their own and shows that the inequalities in access to employer-provided training are accentuated with self-directed training.

Window of the World: Sino–African Encounters through Copies and Simulations

Located in the manufacturing hub of Shenzhen is Window of the World: a Chinese theme park that features miniature copies of heritage sites from around the world. The individuals living within this constructed simulation are imported from diverse countries. They come to work as performers, animating the different cultural pavilions. As such, the transnationalism made possible by this park provides a window through which we can observe cultural interactivity, as well as the ways in which culture is constructed and re-presented. This article examines some of the processes of cultural encounters through copies of commodified cultural heritage. It also sheds light on the ways in which Kung Fu movies circulating in Africa have inspired the imaginations of young people, revealing cultural feedback loops that provide openings for new contact. Grounded in ethnographic research, the findings here are based on interviews with Kenyan and South African contract workers at this theme park. This article explores young people’s pursuits of new opportunities of identity-formation and self-representation, as well as economic stability and forward mobility.
