Adolescent Boys and Gendered Social transitions in Ethiopia (7 September, 2015)Young Lives Oxford
"Adolescent boys and gendered social transitions: Findings From the Young Lives Study in Ethiopia" by Gina Crivello and Nikki van der Gaag.
Presented at the Annual Development Studies Association Conference, Bath, UK
7-8 September 2015
What affects boys’ trajectories through school and work, including their aspirations, agency, place, and changing roles and responsibilities within family and community contexts? What obstacles do adolescent boys face as they seek to transition into young adults?
These questions were addressed in a presentation by Gina Crivello and Nikki van der Gaag at the UK Development Studies Association conference on 7 Sept 2015.
In recent years, adolescence has risen high on the global agenda, but boys are marginalised by an overwhelming focus on female adolescence. While there has been much focus on the harms that social norms and expectations can cause for girls’ well-being, what it means to be a boy in any given time and place is also socially constructed and dynamic. This paper shows how boys too can be disadvantaged by sexual stereotypes, social norms and economic adversity, and how gender norms become more entrenched as adolescents develop into young adults. In particular, we see how boys’ aspirations decrease over time while girls’ aspirations increase, particularly after age 15.
Securing paid work is key to boys’ transitions to adulthood, and at age 19, they strive for financial independence. They consider paid work to be a ‘protective factor’ in the sense that working prevents idleness and stagnation which they fear and resist. They also see themselves as ‘in-between’ childhood and adulthood – with a growing sense of responsibility and maturity, yet lacking adult authority and access to adult networks. Focusing much less on the promises of education for boys becoming men, work promises ‘change’ and represents persistence, hope and moral fortitude. But the reality of work is usually very different; a continual struggle to provide enough for themselves, their families, and their futures.
This document discusses child labor and street children. It defines child labor as work that is dangerous or harmful to a child's health/development. Street children are those who both work and live on the streets. The document outlines causes of child labor like poverty and lack of opportunities.

The document summarizes the story of Saheb-e-Alam, a boy who lives in Seemapuri, Delhi and works as a rag-picker to support his poor family. Seemapuri is a slum where around 10,000 rag-pickers live in makeshift structures without basic amenities. Saheb-e-Alam and many other children work as rag-pickers, collecting garbage, as their families cannot afford other options. Though Saheb-e-Alam later finds a job at a tea stall, he is unhappy having to work under someone instead of being his own master as a rag-picker.

Girls transitions to adulthood education work and marriageYoung Lives Oxford
This document summarizes key findings from the Young Lives study regarding gender differences in transitions to adulthood in Ethiopia. Some of the main points are:
1) By age 19, gender differences become more prominent, with more young women studying full-time while young men are more likely to work or combine work with studies.
2) Early marriage is most common for girls in rural areas and poorer households, with around 1 in 6 young women married by age 19.
3) Girls' time use changes dramatically between ages 5-19, with much more time spent on unpaid work like household chores, while boys' time remains their own.
4) Policies aim to delay marriage and fertility through

Algebraic expressions can be formed using variables, constants, and mathematical operations. Variables represent letters that can take on any value, while constants represent fixed numbers. There are different types of algebraic expressions including monomials, binomials, and trinomials. The value of an algebraic expression can be found by substituting values for the variables and simplifying. Identities are equations that are always true regardless of the values of variables. Common identities include (a+b)2, (a-b)2, and a2 - b2.
This document discusses different methods of heat transfer - conduction, convection, and radiation. It provides examples of each in daily life and defines key related terms like temperature, units of heat, calorimetry, calorimeter, thermostat, and thermoflask. Conduction occurs through direct contact between objects and involves the transfer of kinetic energy between adjacent particles. Convection involves the movement of molecules or atoms within fluids like liquids and gases. Radiation can transfer heat through empty space via electromagnetic waves.
The document discusses different types of changes that occur around us. It defines slow changes as those that take hours, days, months or years, such as hair and nail growth or seasonal changes. Fast changes are those that occur within seconds or minutes, like a bursting balloon or burning paper. Reversible changes can return to the original state, like stretching a rubber band or melting ice, while irreversible changes cannot be reversed, such as curdling milk or digestion. The document provides examples of each type of change and distinguishes between reversible and irreversible, as well as slow and fast changes.
This document discusses carbon and its compounds. It begins by introducing carbon as an important non-metallic element that exists in both free and combined states in nature. It then distinguishes between organic carbon compounds found in living organisms and inorganic compounds found in non-living matter. The document goes on to describe several unique features of carbon, including its ability to form chains, exist in different allotropes like diamond and graphite, and form multiple bonds. It concludes by emphasizing carbon's abundance and importance to life.

The document also covers 1D, 2D and 3D motion with examples. It distinguishes between scalar and vector quantities and discusses types of vectors and how they can be added.
This document provides an overview of electricity, atomic structure, electric charge, and electric circuits. It defines electricity as the flow of electric charge through a conductor. Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons, with protons and neutrons in the nucleus and electrons orbiting the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge while electrons have a negative charge. Electric circuits allow the flow of electrons from higher to lower potential through components connected in series or parallel. Key differences between series and parallel circuits are that current is the same but voltage varies in series circuits, while current varies but voltage is the same in parallel circuits.
This document discusses various methods for purifying organic compounds, including sublimation, crystallization, differential extraction, distillation, and chromatography. Purification is necessary to study the structure, physical, chemical and biological properties of organic compounds and must isolate the compound from any impurities. The appropriate purification method depends on the nature of the impurity and the organic compound. Common techniques include sublimation for volatile solids, crystallization using solvent selection and isolation, differential extraction using immiscible organic solvent layers, distillation, and chromatography using adsorbents and mobile/fixed phases.
This document provides an overview of electrochemistry and electrochemical cells. It defines electrochemistry as the branch of chemistry dealing with the relationship between electrical energy and chemical change. An electrochemical cell is a device that uses a chemical change to produce electricity or uses electricity to produce a chemical change. The document describes the components of electrochemical cells, including electrodes and electrolytes. It distinguishes between galvanic cells, which produce electricity from chemical reactions, and electrolytic cells, which use electricity to drive chemical reactions. Examples of the significance of electrochemistry include metal refining and batteries.
The document discusses various aspects of sound. It defines sound as a form of energy produced by vibrations that travel through a medium and are detected by the human ear.

It also covers topics like reflection of sound, echo, reverberation, ultrasound, sonar and their uses and applications. The document provides information on the structure of the human ear and production of sound using a tuning fork experiment.
The document discusses key concepts relating to heat and temperature. It defines heat as the spontaneous flow of energy from objects at a higher temperature to those at a lower temperature. Temperature is defined as the degree of hotness or coldness of a body. Different temperature scales such as Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin are also discussed. The document also covers heat capacity, specific heat capacity, and the various effects of heat such as expansion, changes in temperature and state, and chemical changes.
This document defines and provides examples of different types of energy, work, and their relationships. It states that work is done when a force causes an object to be displaced, and is calculated as the product of the force and displacement. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy depends on an object's position or state, such as gravitational potential energy which depends on height or elastic potential energy from deformation. Power is defined as the rate at which work is done or energy is delivered over time.
An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. It works by passing an electric current through a conductor coil located in a magnetic field, which creates a force on the coil and causes it to rotate. Electric motors are crucial to modern life as they are used in many appliances and machines, powering things like fans, drills, and vehicles. The speed of an electric motor's coil rotation can be increased by strengthening the current, increasing the number of coil turns, enlarging the coil area, or boosting the magnetic field strength.
This document discusses the basic elements of electric circuits. It defines electric current as the flow of charges and an electric circuit as the path electrons flow through. It then lists the four elements of a simple circuit: a battery as the electricity source, a wire as the conducting path, a lamp as the resistor, and a switch to control the circuit. It also briefly mentions series and parallel circuits as types of simple circuits.

1. “ STREET CHILDREN “
K.Thangavel,
Assistant Professor,
Thiagarajar College of Preceptors,
Madurai-9.
2. STREET CHILDREN
According to UNICEF , boys and girls aged under eighteen years ,
for whom the street (including unoccupied dwellings and wastelands )
has become home and their source of livelihood and who are
inadequately protected or supervised are street children .
3. • India has an estimated one million or more street children in the
cities : New Delhi , Kolkata , Mumbai .
• According to 2011 census , there are over 11 million children who
earn their living off the streets in cities and rural areas .
• It is more common for street children to be male and the average
age is fourteen .
• In spite of acceleration in economic growth , the number of street
children increases every year since , 32 % of the population is
living below in the poverty line .
4. CAUSES FOR THE PROBLEM OF STREET CHILDREN :
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
FAMILY PROBLEMS
ALCOHOLISM
SEXUAL ABUSE
FAILURE ON THE SIDE OF PARENTS
NATURAL CALAMITIES
CHILDREN AFFECTED WITH MENTAL DISORDER
LOVE AFFAIRS
ILLEGITIMATELY
5. Economic conditions : Poverty forces many to leave the homes to
live or make a living on the streets .
6. Family problems : Children leave homes due to the ill-treatment of
step-father or step-mother .
7. Alcoholism : Father or mother or both of them have the habit of
drinking and quarrelling , children leave home and run
to streets seeking peaceful life .
8. Sexual abuse : If members of the family or relatives abuse boys and
girls in the family either sexually or to commit crimes
children escape from them and end up on the streets
in towns and cities .
9. Failure on the side of the parents – To send the child to school or
withdraw the child from school to do domestic work or take care of
cattle and sheep to the local landlords to earn income for the family .
10. Natural calamities : Those children, who are rendered helpless by the
natural calamities such as earth quakes , tsunami ,volcanic eruption
and those who lost both their parents in accidents end up as street
children .
11. Children affected with mental health come to the streets on their
own unconsciously or drives away from the homes .
12. LOVE AFFAIRS : Love affairs between girls and boys and severe
objection from the parents due to caste or tribes factor forces
them to run to towns and cities and work and live on streets till
they find a place in a slum .
13. ILLEGITIMATELY : Young children of unwedded mothers and
sex workers are taken to far away places and abandoned in
railway situations and bus stands .
14. REHABILITATION & EDUCATION OF THE STREET CHILDREN :
The rulings of the judiciary in India to provide free housing for those
who are living in streets , with facilities like , shelter for safe night
stay, toilet and bathrooms , are being implemented by the
corporations and municipalities .
Street children are to be provided education and vocational training
by admitting them in orphanages and homes run by charitable
organizations . Besides encouraging public to donate liberally ( by
providing tax exemption ) , the central and state governments also
continue to provide grants liberally .
