The ambitious National Program has invested billions since its foundation in 2008, without any clear definition regarding the return of the scholarship holders. Thousands of young researchers are now in precarious labor conditions in an already collapsed system. Our qualitative research seeks to understand the ways former scholarship holders live precarity and how does it impact their nowledge production

The role of Peru in the international division of labor is the structural condition for the persistence of labor precariousness in the country. At a more concrete level, labor precariousness is an expression of the economic and business structure of the country. An economic structure heavily dependent on the non-tradable sectors and a business structure dominated by micro business undertakings do not permit the eradication of precarious labor conditions as economic growth hinges on economic progress abroad and precariousness is the source of profit of micro companies. Labor precariousness is not an automatic consequence of Peru’s role in the globalized capitalist world, but rather the social and economic consequence of the neoliberal policies implemented in the 1990s and, in particular, the current neoliberal development model in place.

Academic work and care work are deeply entangled modes of labor. For parent-academics, these entanglements are particularly knotted during the postpartum period, when care work responsibilities intensify, increasingly under precarious labor conditions. Postpartum care work—whether conducted by oneself or by someone else—both encroaches upon and makes possible academic work, resulting in blurred spatiotemporal divisions between the two. This article draws on autoethnography and participant observation to map out a postpartum geography of care work and academic work in academia. It does so by examining three key sites in/of the university where care work and academic work intersect—bathrooms, campus daycare centers, and the internet—and by considering three kinds of work that happen there—milk-work, childcare work, and connection-work. In these three sites in particular, I argue, the intellectual work and the care work that sustain the university spill over into one another. Furthermore, each of these geographic sites can manifest as sites of care, access, labor, and surveillance, often simultaneously and always depending on the gendered, raced, classed, and dis/abled positionality of those moving in and through them. By advancing an understanding of (postpartum) reproductive rights as workers’ rights, this paper also envisions more intersectional and coalitional feminist labor solidarities across campus.

This study examines community empowerment in overcoming poverty through PNPM (Program Nasional Pemberdayaan Masyarakat/ National Program for Community Empowerment) - Urban in Batam City. The purpose of this study was to identify the stages of participation of the poor in PNPM activities and analyze the stages of achievement of the poor after PNPM ended, this research was carried out because there were no studies that specifically discussed the achievements of the poor after the end of PNPM, especially whether the poor who participated in PNPM activities had come out of poverty. PNPM – Urban emphasizes community participation where all activities are left to the community itself, starting from socialization, poverty identification, organization, planning, implementation, to the utilization and maintenance of the results of activities. This study uses qualitative research. Data obtained by observation and in-depth interviews with 12 informants using purposive sampling technique. The results of this study indicate that community participation is at the stage of delegation of power, but the urban poor in Batam City still depend on government assistance and have not escaped poverty. The concept of community empowerment has not been optimal in the PNPM.

Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo descrever e analisar o sentido e as relações de trabalho para os motoristas do Uber, na cidade de Belo Horizonte, verificando se e até que ponto esta atividade pode representar uma alternativa para o desemprego. Realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa com nove motoristas, que se cadastraram na empresa após a vivência do desemprego. Efetuou-se entrevistas abertas e semiestruturadas que foram transcritas e posteriormente analisadas. Constatou-se que a atividade no Uber atendeu às necessidades mais urgentes dos motoristas, como a de obter uma renda imediata ou ocupar o tempo ocioso, reduzindo a auto cobrança e a pressão familiar, além de aliviar os impactos negativos ocasionados pela vivência do desemprego. Percebeu-se também a preocupação dos motoristas com a ausência de amparos legais e trabalhistas, fator que juntamente com a exploração da mão de obra e dos próprios recursos dos motoristas, parece aumentar os lucros da empresa. Os resultados apontaram que o Uber é, de fato, uma alternativa para o desemprego, mas de forma mais imediata e provisória, necessitando de uma regulação para este novo tipo de atividade, a fim de proteger os trabalhadores da precarização. Os resultados apresentados nesta pesquisa podem servir de subsídios para formulação de políticas de regulação deste novo tipo de atividade, bem como contribuir para novos estudos sobre o tema.Palavras-Chave: Trabalho.

Uber. UBER DRIVERS WORK – AN ALTERNATIVE FOR UNEMPLOYMENT?Abstract: This research purpose was to describe and to analyse the meaning and the work relations for the Uber’s drivers in Belo Horizonte city, verifying if and to what extent this activity represents an alternative for unemployment. Nine drivers who enrolled in the business after experiencing unemployment underwent a qualitative research. Open and semi-structured interviews were conducted, transcribed and subsequently analyzed. It was determined that the Uber activity attended the driver’s urgent needs, such as the possibility of immediate income and time occupation, relieving the pressure of self and family’s expectations, reducing the negatives impacts occasioned by the struggle as an unemployed. The drivers worry about the lack of labor legal support was also noticed, factor that combined with the labor exploration and the driver’s own resources, seems to increase the company’s profit. The results demonstrated that the Uber is, in fact, an alternative for unemployment, however as in an immediate and temporary manner and there is a demand for a regulation for this new type of activity in order to protect the workers from labor conditions increasingly precarious. The results presented in the research can serve as subsidies for the formulation of politics regulation for this new type of activity, as well as to contribute for new studies about the theme.Keywords: Work.

This article reports a pioneering qualitative research study that illuminates the way a global philanthropic partnership enabled the Israeli government to launch a national program which later evolved into a non-governmental initiative. It examines the model of an urban and social rehabilitation program through the prism of its funding partnership, citizen participation practice, and collaboration with municipalities; it also illustrates the way this government-based model was transformed into a new program, detached from governmental ties and shifted to focus on communal and international people-to-people connections and collaborations. The article traces the programmatic transformation that unfolded over four decades.

This article seeks to disentangle the concepts of “precarity” and “informality” to examine the role of the state in structuring and reproducing precarious labor conditions. Using two cases of labor disputes from the construction sectors in Beijing and Delhi, this article traces the ways through which precarity is structured and reproduced by the state through the law, and reflects on the implications for worker resistance and claim-making.
