Still, the problem of dealing with periodisation remains critical for anyone attempting to write contemporary world history. (Bayly, 2018 : 324) Introduction Periodization in global history is difficult. Since nineteenth-century historicism and for far too long, European epoch concepts have been generalized without any further ado. Eurocentrism is merely a symptom of an even more fundamental challenge of periodization, however: it relies on comparisons. Comparing, this chapter argues, is a far from innocent activity. On the contrary, comparing has a
99 7What happens during a period of residential care? Introduction This chapter takes a closer look at individual children and what happensto them during a period of residential care, specifically in relation toproblematic or offending behaviour. The evidence draws on two sources: a one-year cohort study starting with all children resident or admitted to children’s residential care in a one-month period in 2006 (46 children in all) and case studies of 16 children through an analysis of case file data (and follow-up on information gaps with care staff where
87 Child welfare in a period of economic and political crises THREE Child welfare in a period of economic and political crises, 1918-45 Nutrition The most accessible source for the history of school child health during the period 1918-45 are the annual reports of the School Medical Service and the Ministry of Health, all of which were optimistic in their recording of mortality and morbidity statistics, as were the majority of local reports submitted by MOHs. In his report for 1932, for example, Newman (who was both CMO to the Board of Education and, from 1920
childhood offending in a way that is holistic, caring and rights-respecting, and in ways that are good for children, society and the economy. Drawing on lessons from the decade of austerity, this chapter argues that the COVID-19 recovery period should be founded on principles of genera-relational justice. 1 A genera-relational approach to childhood offending recognizes both the pandemic’s disproportionate impact on children and our unique obligations to them. The chapter concludes, optimistically, that recent policy shifts in youth justice – including the intersecting
Introduction This article explores a hitherto overlooked aspect of lived, gendered poverty – that of ‘period poverty’. The notion of ‘menstrual poverty’ or ‘period poverty’ has most commonly been employed to describe the psychological wellbeing of menstruating girls in resource-poor countries across the Global South ( Crichton et al, 2012 ). However, an inability to afford period products, widely known in the UK by the term ‘period poverty’, has been reported as a growing problem among girls and women from low-income backgrounds ( Ryan, 2017 ; Trussell Trust
47 Reconstruction, regional policy, and labour market-building THREE Reconstruction, regional policy, and labour market-building: inter-regional labour transfer policies in the post-war period Introduction The period from 1945 to the late 1970s is often characterised as the high water mark of direct state intervention in the spatial economy of the UK. The experiences of recession in the 1930s and the obvious achievements of the wartime administrations created a political climate in which strong welfare state programmes and strategies could be established and
59 FOUR “Child rescue at home, overseas migration within the empire”1: the Child Emigration Society during the interwar period, 1918–39 Mairena Hirschberg Introduction I saw a street in the east end of London. It was a street crowded with children – dirty children, yet lovable, exhausted with the heat. No decent air, not enough food. The waste of it all! Children’s lives wasting while the Empire cried aloud for men […].

types of isomorphism: coercive, that is, supposing political power with governing or regulating capacity in an organizational field; mimetic, posed in terms of relationships of imitation as seen in the markets of goods, which attempt to adopt the modeling behavior of successful individuals; and normative, related to the regulative properties of the professional field. In methodological terms, we establish the criteria to define the universe of analysis, that is, what programs educating for the public sector would be considered, the period to study, the sources to
world, has suffered a slight decrease over the years. More than 75 per cent of the households live in owned homes. However, from the first year of the analysis to the last, the percentage of homes owned decreased by 4 points, the same as the increase experienced by rental homes. Regarding the type of household, around half are households with children. The average age of the individuals in these households increased during the period of the analysis, being 50 years old in 2019. On the other hand, almost all the individuals analysed each year have Spanish nationality
