Instead of considering them as a policy target group at risk for multiple reasons, this research reverses the perspective by focusing on young mothers’ agency in school and paid employment. The study is set in the Netherlands, where economic independence has become a focal point of social policy and practice, especially for young people. It explores how young mothers navigate norms and structures of education and employment, drawing on 18 months of participant observation and 41 semi-structured interviews with young mothers. Notions of
‘everyday’ and ‘bounded’ agency are used in analysing structural limitations (e.g. irregular working hours in ‘women’s jobs’, a lack of maternity leave at school) and norms (e.g. completing higher education and finding a good job versus being primary caretakers, enjoying children and being role models). School and workplace
structures reinforce contradictory discourses of motherhood and economic independence. Young mothers exhibit agency in considering their options around job security, work experience, wages, student loans and spending time with children. In doing so, they navigate structural and normative collisions of economic
independence and mothering.

Using an intersectional approach, this study uncovers how young mothers’ social categories of youth and motherhood collide, concur with, or reinforce each other. The research question is the following: What are young mothers’ perceptions and practices of youth when combining youth with motherhood? The research methods include 18 months of participant observation and 41 semi-structured interviews with young mothers in the Netherlands. Analysis shows that young motherhood should not be conflated with problematic motherhood. Young mothers position themselves as “new” parents, single mothers, and working parents. Their motherhood practices illustrate adherence to an ideology of child-centered, omnipresent, and responsible motherhood. They might not be good girls, but they show they are good mothers. Young mothers navigate intersecting dim...

It focuses on the menarche ceremony in Fijian women's lives. The menarche ceremony is celebrated to acknowledge a little girl's transition into a young woman. During the ceremony perceptions of female gender identity are expressed explicitly, whereas in daily life a girl implicitly and gradually learns how to become a woman. The study explains how these perceptions are expressed, examines what these expressions are and looks at the impact the ceremony has on a girl's life.

Welke rol speelt de welzijnswerker bij het uitvoeren van projecten en hoe ondersteunt hij de burger? Hoe bereikt hij zijn doelen en wat zijn die dan? Vragen die geleid hebben tot het Raak project, waarvan het Procivi reflectie-instrument één van de eindproducten vormt. Het Provici reflectie-instrument is een hulpmiddel voor de professional en de lerende organisatie om op systematische wijze te reflecteren op de eigen werkpraktijk en handelswijze. Een verkorte versie van dit instrument is de Procivi Quick scan. In dit document vindt U het Provici reflectie-instrument en de bijbehorende verantwoording. De verkorte versie van het instrument wordt gepresenteerd in het rapport ‘Professionalisering van de welzijnswerker : zelfreflectie als instrument. De verkorte versie : de Procivi Quick scan”(Lamers et al. 2009)
