[source] A Just Measure of Forgiveness: Reforming Occupational Licensing Regulations for Ex-Offenders Using BFOQ AnalysisLAW & POLICY, Issue 1 2008KAROL LUCKEN In the United States, over 600,000 offenders rejoin society annually, though little has been done to facilitate their transition from the prison to the community. Offender reentry into the workplace has emerged as a particular concern, given that many statutes prohibit public employment for ex-offenders and create obstacles to private-sector employment through occupational licensing requirements. These mandates may explicitly reject ex-offenders, or require "good moral character" or job/relationship tests that all but eliminate meaningful employment options. Several states are reconsidering the implications of these prohibitions, but a clear framework for assessing the validity of exclusionary occupational mandates is often lacking. This article proposes that the bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) defense found in employment discrimination law provides a helpful framework for guiding these reform efforts. [source] Identity as Work: Changing Job Opportunities and Indigenous Identity in the Transition to a Tourist EconomyANTHROPOLOGY OF WORK REVIEW, Issue 2 2007Karen Stocker This article, based on ethnographic research carried out in the Chorotega indigenous reservation in northwestern Costa Rica between 1993 and 2007, traces the social and economic changes that have shifted the dominant trend from masking indigenous identity to embracing and promoting it. The growth of the tourism sector in areas near the reservation and the resulting participation by the Chorotega in heritage tourism have had repercussions on employment options for individuals on or from the reservation. [source] Parents' views of their child's health and family function in paediatric inflammatory bowel diseaseACTA PAEDIATRICA, Issue 4 2010H Lindfred Abstract Aim:, The aim of this study was to explore parents' views and agreement of their child's current and future health, as well as the family's functioning in daily life with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Methods:, In this study, 119 parents (65 mothers and 54 fathers) of 66 adolescents (11,16 years) with IBD completed a questionnaire regarding their views of their child's IBD and health-related behaviour. Results:, The majority of the parents held a positive view of their child's current health status. However, the parents voiced a range of worries about their children's future health and life situation such as fear about the side effects of medication, concerns for future schooling, social life and employment options. Within the families, the parental pairs had more similar views about their child's current health status than about their future health. Factors that affected the parents' views consisted of cohabitation status, i.e. parents not living together, and severe disease course, both correlated with a more negative view of the child's current health and family functioning. Conclusion:, The majority of the parents in this study had a largely positive view of their child's current health status, but they expressed concerns about their child's future health. Knowledge about parents' thoughts may be of importance for healthcare teams supporting families with IBD. [source] | ||||||||||
