Work and Family Life in Rural Communities by Natasha Mauthner,Lorna McKee,Monika Strell,Joseph Rowntree Foundation Pdf

Recent family policy debates have explored the challenge of balancing the demands of paid work with domestic and family commitments. Drawing on detailed interviews with mothers and fathers from different social, economic and occupational backgrounds, this study explores these concerns from a rural perspective, and investigates how families living in rural areas are combining paid work with raising children. The study was based in and around three diverse rural communities in Scotland and northern England. Taking part were 52 dual-parent households with at least one earner and with one child aged 12 or under. The research explored parents' views of the countryside as a place to raise their family, and found that parents described their rural community as providing an ideal physical, cultural and structural environment.

Rural Families and Reshaping Human Services by Jeanne F. Cook,Keith Alford,Jennifer Uhrich,Pat Conway Pdf

This collection presents creative strategies and programs designed to address needs of families in the context of rural communities. Even before the most recent worldwide economic crisis, many rural families in the United States struggled to meet basic needs. As needs in rural communities have expanded, services have shrunk. This book identifies rural families’ needs, including social supports during pregnancy, identification of adolescent risk behaviours, child safety, and basic services such as food and health care, using techniques such as Geographic Information Systems and needs and asset assessments. Strategies to address those needs include program development, the use of technology, and community partnerships. The book reminds readers of the sense of independence and self-reliance found in many rural communities and the theme of diversity within rural communities runs throughout the book. The chapters are organized by identification of the needs of rural families, addressing disparities in rural areas, practice in rural communities, and human service organizations and professionals. Through research, practice, and creative works, the book contributes to a greater understanding of ways that service providers can advance their work with rural families and broaden their perspectives about realities experienced by families living in rural communities. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Family Social Work.

Rural Poverty in the United States by Ann R. Tickamyer,Jennifer Sherman,Jennifer Warlick Pdf

America's rural areas have always held a disproportionate share of the nation's poorest populations. Rural Poverty in the United States examines why. What is it about the geography, demography, and history of rural communities that keeps them poor? In a comprehensive analysis that extends from the Civil War to the present, Rural Poverty in the United States looks at access to human and social capital; food security; healthcare and the environment; homelessness; gender roles and relations; racial inequalities; and immigration trends to isolate the underlying causes of persistent rural poverty. Contributors to this volume incorporate approaches from multiple disciplines, including sociology, economics, demography, race and gender studies, public health, education, criminal justice, social welfare, and other social science fields. They take a hard look at current and past programs to alleviate rural poverty and use their failures to suggest alternatives that could improve the well-being of rural Americans for years to come. These essays work hard to define rural poverty's specific metrics and markers, a critical step for building better policy and practice. Considering gender, race, and immigration, the book appreciates the overlooked structural and institutional dimensions of ongoing rural poverty and its larger social consequences.

Working with Rural Communities Participatory Action Research in Kenya by Chitere, Orieko P.,Mutiso, Roberta Pdf

This book addresses itself to mobilisation and involvement of rural people in development projects. It describes an imperfect but, nonetheless, exciting and thought-provoking exercise that drew social science researchers and students from four public universities in Kenya into an experiment in participatory research, community education and development in two locations. The experiment was grounded on the assumptions that the people of Kenya are a primary resource and that given proper roles and contribution of planners, researchers and programme implementers, self-sustainable development can become a reality. The contributors of this book have focused on the potential of the university to facilitate participation of the people in development. They have given specific suggestions on how this might be accomplished.
