Tra crisi e nuove disuguaglianze sociali. La distribuzione spaziale degli immigrati a Genova
No full textL'articolo analizza criticamente le molteplici forme di distribuzione della densità degli immigrati a Genova. Attraverso specifiche mappature socio-spaziali, emerge una distribuzione fortemente disomogenea, concentrata in aree caratterizzate da elevati livelli di degrado socio-economico e disuguaglianza. L'elaborazione di ulteriori indicatori ha portato a ipotizzare l'esistenza di due principali modelli insediativi e nuclei comunitari per le prime dieci comunità insediate (con un focus su quella ecuadoriana), legati sia a fattori economici che alle rispettive culture identitarie di origine. Inoltre, la ricerca si inserisce nel quadro degli studi di caso sul fenomeno migratorio in Italia, contribuendo alla costruzione di una mappatura capillare a livello nazionale.The article critically analyzes the multiple forms of the density distribution of the immi-grants in Genoa. Through specific socio-spatial mappings, a highly uneven distribution emerges, concentrated in areas with high levels of socio-economic decay and inequality. The elaboration of further indicators led to hypothesize the existence of two main settlement models and community cores for the first ten settled communities (with a focus on the Ec-uadorian one), linked both to economic factors and to the respective identity cultures of origin. Furthermore, the research fits into the framework of case studies on the migratory phenomenon in Italy, contributing to the construction of a capillary mapping at a national level

Work in children's lives in Ethiopia: examples from Young Lives communities
No full textThe role and value of child work are under scrutiny as never before in Ethiopia, as elsewhere, where the rapid expansion of formal schooling, as well as broader social, political and economic changes, bring into sharp relief competing definitions of what a ‘good childhood’ should look like for this generation of children. Although working from a young age was historically considered a normal part of childhood and of socialisation processes, this view is being challenged by current policies which emphasise the negative aspects of child work, meanwhile championing the positive aspects of schooling. Yet, for many children and families, work remains a defining feature of childhood and an important part of managing everyday risk and pursuing long-term well-being. For them, school and work are not ‘opposites’, although many children find it difficult to juggle multiple and sometimes competing demands on their time. In an earlier study conducted in southern Ethiopia, Abebe (2008: 3) describes these societal shifts in terms of ‘the tension between young people’s daily lives and their future wishes on the one hand and, on the other, what they are required to learn through formal education in order to become full members of society’. In the previous chapter (this volume), Abebe argues against a ‘silo’ approach to child labour in favour of attending to the broader structures and politico-economic contexts within which children’s lives unfold. The current study complements Abebe’s macro-focus by taking a close look at the life worlds of working children in three Ethiopian communities. In this chapter, we ask: ‘What is the place for "work" in children’s lives and life trajectories, and what do children themselves have to say?
