Precarious intimacies – Europeanised border regime and migrant sex work

This article examines the meaning of borders – the spaces where immigration policies and restrictions are materially condensed – in the lives of migrant sex workers. I provide a theoretical and conceptual framework to discuss the role of borders in creating living and working conditions for sex workers within the European border regime. This regime both restricts and enables a structural background for migrant sex work. I argue that sex work scholars should pay closer attention to the heterogeneity of non-citizenship and the effects of different immigration statuses on the working conditions and forms of intimacies migrants create. Borders need to be viewed as institutions that produce social relations. I categorise these relations as precarious intimacies to describe the ways in which intimacy, commerce and borders often intertwine in the lives of migrants engaged in commercial sex work. The article draws upon 18-month ethnographic fieldwork among and interviews with migrant sex workers in Finland.     

Quality_Family Deployment: A New Perspective in Determining Priority Importance for Improving Work Performance in Organization

Determining priority importance is a matter of concerns among the organization to improve their performance. One of the important aspects that should be considered by the organization is management of human resources, comprising of members who have their own family life. In this paper, we deliver a new perspective for organization to provide priority importance for their members with respect to family matters in order to inculcate the sense of belonging in the organization. To be effective in considering family matters in the organizational policy making, closer look of family characteristics are required. The idea of translating several family characteristics as quality variables and applying the quality function deployment (QFD) method to these variables could present a new way of improving the decision making in the organization by considering the process of decision in the family. Quality function deployment for family (QFDF) produces a friendly interpretation of a highly complex and intangible matters around family life; thus, making the assessment of a family easier. QFD is applied on the data gathered from a questionnaire survey based on 1,213 families in West Malaysia, Malaysia. Twelve variables are identified as voice of family, where seven of them are found to have the highest priority of importance. These variables could also be translated into quality variables in the context of organization, the strategy of improvement for the family could be interpreted as strategy for improvement in the organization. Furthermore, the results of this study provide suggestion to improve actions for managing human resource. In the discussion, three most high ranked variables from both perspectives of family and organization are considered.     

论宋元戏剧的脚色反串

宋元时期是我国古代戏剧真正形成的历史时期,伴随着脚色体系的建立,出现了脚色反串的有趣现象。这一时期的脚色反串,几乎涉及到有性别之分的所有脚色,而且女演员反串更为普遍,并明显呈现出开放式的姿态,从而有别于宋前演员在歌舞戏、科白戏中的性别反串以及明清时期大盛的“男旦”之风,形成独特的历史艺术风貌。宋元时期在勾栏瓦舍、广场路歧、内廷家乐中出现“脚色反串”有着历史和时代的双重原因。

晋中市人口性别高位现状分析

人口性别结构是人口构成特点的重要表现之一,直接影响一个区域人口的构成、婚姻、家庭状况,也会引发一系列社会问题。以新中国成立以来全国人口普查资料为依据,以晋中市域人口性别结构的发展为研究主线,对1990年以来晋中市二十多年人口性别结构发展趋势进行梳理和分析发现,现阶段晋中市人口性别比处于回升高位状态,低年龄组人口和乡村人口性别比明显偏高。对此分析其形成原因并提出相关建议,为科学制定晋中市未来人口、经济和社会发展规划和政策提供决策依据。     

治理出生性别比失衡问题的再思考

针对我国20世纪80年代以来出生人口性别比持续升高现象分析认为,在我国,造成出生人口性别比升高的直接原因是非法胎儿性别鉴定的存在,深层次原因则是源于农村较低的经济发展水平和由此引起的社会保障制度不完善,以及国家在倡导男女平等的基本国策方面缺乏切实有效的政策措施。由此提出,建设社会主义新型生育文化、制定提高女性社会地位的相关政策、加强相关法规建设、完善社会保障制度以及借鉴他国成功经验等应是综合治理出生人口性别比升高的具体对策。

论股份公司经理的法律地位

经理是公司治理结构的核心组成部分,其在公司治理中的地位和作用无法替代。我国公司法对股份有限公司经理的职权做了相对明确的法律界定,这是我们认识经理法律地位的基础。对经理职权的界定,应当充分重视和尊重公司股东基于章程的自治需求,把对公司经理法律地位的认识建立在公司章程的基础之上。作为公司机关之一,经理在合理授权下(无论是公司章程或是股东会、董事会决议)获得的职权是其发挥价值的制度基础。我们需要一个现实和有效的制度设计,来发挥经理的积极性和作用,又不至于损害股东、债权人、其他利害相关人和社会公众的利益。     

Separating Spheres? Diverging Trends in Youth's Gender Attitudes About Work and Family

The authors investigated whether trends in attitudes about gender were consistent with the gender stall primarily occurring in the family domain and examined potential mechanisms associated with changing gender norms. Using data from Monitoring the Future surveys (1976–2015), the authors assessed three components of trends in youth's beliefs about gender: the marketplace, the family, and mothers' employment. Findings showed continued increases in egalitarianism from 1976 through the mid‐1990s across all three dimensions. Thereafter, support for egalitarianism in the public sphere plateaued at high levels, rising support for mothers' employment persisted at a slower pace, and conventional ideology about gender in families returned. The changing demographic composition of American high school students did not account for the gender attitude trends. Youth's mothers' employment and increased education were related to increased egalitarianism. Changes in population averages of mothers' employment and educational attainment were only weakly associated with increases in egalitarian attitudes.     

Motherhood Penalties and Living Arrangements in China

Past research on the “motherhood wage penalty” has been based on data from nuclear families, leaving open the possibility that the motherhood wage penalty may be lower or even absent in multigenerational families. In this article, the wage gap between mothers and nonmothers is examined in nuclear and multigenerational families in the context of contemporary China, which has a long tradition of patriarchal families. Using 1993 to 2006 China Health and Nutrition Survey data, the magnitude and variation of motherhood penalty is explored with fixed effects models among 1,058 women. The results show that each additional child lowers hourly wages by about 12%. In addition, the motherhood penalty is largest for women living with their husbands' parents, smaller for women not living with parents, and nil for women living with their own parents.
