Teens and Brexit in Northern Ireland
The purpose of this paper is to ascertain the attitudes of teenagers (aged 13–16) from Belfast to the Brexit referendum through exploring their attitudes to the implications of Brexit for their future lives and how they explain why adults decided to vote leave. The paper illuminates how young people discussed the right to vote alongside responsibilities to non‐voters. In this way, teenagers demonstrated the often messy relationship that exists be…
Constructing the “good” mother

Design/methodology/approach The empirical data on which the paper is based is drawn from semi-structured interviews with 32 lone mothers from Northern Ireland. All the lone mothers resided in low-income households. Findings Lone mothers experienced shame on three levels: at the level o…
Mams, moms, mums
Management strategies are typically associated with economic goals and neglect how women’s daily lives incorporate non-economic goals. To illustrate this point, the paper draws on the narratives of 32 lone mothers who have to confront various constraints in terms of how they manage the resources at their disposal paying particular attention to how their subjective accounts impact on their conceptions of the mothering role. Mothers continually str…
Precarity, rights and resistance in the everyday lives of children and young people
This article addresses the relevance of the concepts of precarity, rights and resistance in general terms in relation to children and young people in 'developed' societies. It then specifically explores how this triple lens enables children's perspectives and experiences of growing up in 'post-conflict' Belfast to be understood. The concept of 'generagency' is introduced as providing a useful conceptual tool for exploring the multiple and contrad…
The teenage gaze
This article addresses the absence of children in tourism studies by outlining an innovative case study involving teenagers co-constructing a bus tour of Belfast. Seventeen young people, aged 14-16 took part in designing a tour of Belfast that was subsequently facilitated by a major tour company operating in the city. The article outlines how young people's local spatial knowledge challenges mainstream adult discourses and remains an untapped res…

Echoes from the Past
The purpose of this article is to describe young people's awareness of their parents’ and grandparents’ stories of the events of 1974 in Cyprus and to evaluate the extent to which they perceive teachers as other key figures in their lives endorsing family accounts of history. The article is based on focus group discussions with 20 Turkish Cypriot and 20 Greek Cypriot teenagers from two schools in Cyprus. The article describes how in some cases, y…
Look and tell
This article reflects on the usefulness of photo elicitation in research with young people. As part of an Economic and Social Research Council-funded project exploring conflict and divisions in contested cities, teenagers living or attending schools in segregated areas of Belfast were presented with 11 photographs depicting the city's traditional ethno religious divisions, the new ‘post conflict’ consumerist city and youth subcultures. In respons…
Young people's perspectives on conflict, reconciliation and reunification in Cyprus
The purpose of this paper is to explore the views of young people on conflict, reconciliation and reunification in Cyprus. The paper is based on focus group discussions with 20 Turkish Cypriot and 20 Greek Cypriot young people, aged between 14 and 16, drawn from two schools located in the divided capital city of Nicosia. While young people's discourses revealed underlying deep-seated hostilities in attitudes between the two groups, there was some…
Traditions and transitions
The purpose of this article is to explore and illuminate teenagers' experiences of, and attitudes to, parades in Belfast. The research draws on responses from 125 teenagers located in interface areas (areas where Catholics and Protestants live side by side but apart) to government supported attempts to rebrand Orangefest (traditional parade associated with Protestant/Unionist/Loyalist community) and St Patrick's Day (traditional parade associated…

The article is based on focus group discussions with 20 Greek-speaking and 20 Turkish-speaking young people between 13 and 15 years of age, drawn from two schools in the divided capital city of Nicosia. The article explores both the ways in which Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot young people understand their own identity and the degrees of thei…
A Tale of Two Cities
The purpose of this paper is to consider the role of tour guides in presenting ‘authentic’ versions of the conflict and post-conflict situation in Belfast. The paper is based on how post-conflict Belfast and relationships between Catholics and Protestants are presented by tour operators to tourists visiting the city. The paper is based on eight tours undertaken in 2008 involving twelve tour guides. The paper compares and contrasts the discourses …
Children's educational engagement with nationalism in divided Cyprus
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a situated, theoretically informed account of national identity construction by exploring children's engagement with nationalism in the context of the classroom in divided Cyprus. The paper aims to illustrate how children enter and participate in the cultural world of nationalism in the classroom by accepting, resisting, and negotiating the ideological meanings they encounter there. Design/methodolo…
What’s Recreational about ‘Recreational Rioting’? Children on the Streets in Belfast
The purpose of this paper was to explore teenagers’ perception of the concept of ‘recreational rioting’. It draws on focus group discussions with 80 Catholic and Protestant teenagers who live in one of the most contested interface areas in Northern Ireland, many of whom have experience of rioting. The majority of children who took part in the research were highly critical of the connotations associated with ‘recreational rioting’ and their experi…
Parochial geographies
This article explores the ways in which teenagers occupy and manage space in one divided community in Northern Ireland. Drawing on stories, maps and focus group discussions with 80 teenagers, from an interface area in Belfast, the article reveals their perceptions and experiences of divided cities, as risky landscapes. Teenagers respond to these risks in various ways, at times reiterating traditional sectarian prejudices and at times demonstratin…
Helping with Housework
This article explores children's attitudes to whether or not they should be expected to participate in household chores. The article draws on questionnaire data and classroom discussions with 446 children aged between 14–15 years residing in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Helping others and developing a sense of responsibility were key themes invoked by children to explain their attitudes to whether or not children should participa…
Building, Bolstering and Bridging Boundaries
This article examines how teenagers recount narratives that maintain, reinforce and at times challenge sectarian boundaries in interface areas. The research draws on focus-group interviews with eighty 14–15-year-old teenagers from four schools located in North Belfast, an area characterised by segregation on the basis of religion and ethnic identity. The Catholic and Protestant areas in which the teenagers live are in some cases marked by physica…
Social and Subcultural Capital Among Teenagers in Northern Ireland
This article makes a case for the inclusion of subcultural capital as an indictor of social capital networks in the lives of teenagers. It does so by critiquing approaches that assume that adult measures of social capital can be nonproblematically extended to account for stocks of social capital held by younger generations. To illustrate the fallacy of this approach, this article draws on data from the 2003 Northern Ireland Young Life and Times S…
Trapped in Space? Children's Accounts of Risky Environments
The purpose of this article is to explore children's perceptions and experiences of safety and risk in one highly contested interface area in Belfast. Interface areas are landscapes divided by physical and symbolic boundaries on the basis of religious/ethno‐national identification. The research draws on maps and focus group discussions with young teenagers from four schools in an interface area located in North Belfast. The teenagers identified b…
Children's Citizenship Education in Politically Sensitive Societies
Citizenship is both an individual and collective identity. In politically sensitive societies, the aim of citizenship education is to transform discourses around `us' and `them' into a more inclusive `we'. Yet promoting an inclusive citizenship is beset with challenges and contradictions as it may integrate young people into mainstream political structures to which some of them will have limited allegiance. In politically sensitive societies, dis…
Children's Drawings as a Methodological Tool
The purpose of this article is to contribute to the growing debates about appropriate methodologies for researching children's lives. I intend to outline the usefulness of using drawings as a methodological tool. This method was one of three used in a study concerned with examining children's experiences of doing the Eleven Plus. This is an exam taken by the majority of 10–11 year old children in Northern Ireland. The advantages and disadvantages…
Teens and territory in contested spaces
The purpose of this article is to examine children's experiences of territory in one location in Northern Ireland. The research draws on stories, maps and focus group interviews with 80 children aged between 14–15 years of age, living in one of the most contested interface areas in Northern Ireland. Interface areas are locations where Catholics and Protestants live side by side in segregated communities divided by peace walls and other symbolic b…
Segregated Schools in Segregated Societies
In segregated societies such as Northern Ireland, schools may become sites of risk rather than sites of learning. This is particularly likely to be the case in interface areas, which are demarcated by peace- lines and other symbolic boundaries. Drawing on maps and focus group discussions with teenagers from interface areas in North Belfast, the article reveals their perceptions and experiences of schools as risky landscapes. Teenagers experienced…

Bonding and Bridging Social Capital
The purpose of this article is to question whether the concept of social capital has anything original to offer for understanding why some communities have weaker networks compared to others. Drawing on an empirical example from Belfast, the article illustrates that the themes embedded in social capital have a long history. Moreover, rather than a benign phenomenon, social capital excludes as well as includes community members within its networks…
Children, Childhood and Social Capital
This article is concerned with exploring how children develop and utilize stocks of social capital. It draws on two research projects illustrating children's family, peer and community networks. In the burgeoning literature on social capital, children's accounts remain under-researched. Indeed most of the literature operates with a simplistic view of adults passing social capital assets on to children without a subsequent consideration of how chi…

The article is based on comments made by 245 15-year-old children on child employment and is supported by focus group interviews with 56 boys and 38 girls and tape-recorded interviews with 15 working pupils. One of most dominant themes to emerge from the data is children's perception that they have a right to work. The article examines the legislation rega…

The purpose of this article is to examine the socially constructed nature of the story telling process by drawing on an example from one locality in Northern Ireland. The research draws on focus group interviews with teenagers from polarized working-class communities in North Belfast.

The long-term unemployed, informal economic activity and the 'underclass' in Belfast
The notion of an 'underclass' existing outside the realm of mainstream society continues to hold sway among journalists and policy-makers. While there are many new contenders for inclusion among the underclass, one of the most enduring group of participants is the long-term unemployed. Work-shy individuals, seemingly content to live on welfare benefits, are regarded as placing themselves outside the boundaries of mainstream economic and social li…

Working on Your Doorstep
One of the most common forms of employment for children in the UK is newspaper delivery work. The occupation is portrayed as ideally suitable for young teenagers as it enables them to combine attending school with part-time employment. However, as this article demonstrates, the reality is far removed from this rosy image. Drawing on empirical work carried out in Belfast in 1998, the article illustrates the heterogeneous nature of newspaper delive…

Women's paid and unpaid handiwork in a Belfast estate
This paper is concerned with examining how family clothing needs are met within low income and unemployed households. Based on empirical research carried out in Belfast, the author will stress the importance of knitting and dressmaking by female family members as an effective mechanism for coping with limited resources. The study will examine the level of autonomy and flexibility women have from working at home. The final section of the paper wil…
Ourselves Alone
This paper is concerned with examining the nature of household work strategies in a low income estate in Belfast. It is based on a survey of one in four households within the estate and interviews with one hundred and twenty two school pupils from the area. The paper is divided into three parts. The first section assesses the extent to which male unemployment leads to a renegotiation of the domestic division of labour within the household. The se…

Informal Employment in Europe and the United States
The previous chapter suggested that industrialization in Europe and the USA resulted in the adoption of the Fordist model of production and that this method of production gradually fell into disrepute during the economic crises of the 1970s and 1980s. Mass production in large scale enterprises gave way to flexible specialization and decentralization putting small scale industries at the centre of the industrial strategies of modern capitalist eco…
Women and the Informal Economy
The informal economy is a gender neutral term which covers the work of both sexes but often conceals an internal sexual division of labour. From a review of studies into participants in the informal economy, Hoyman (1987) suggests that women’s involvement is likely to exceed that of men. She argues that barriers to women’s participation in the formal economy are likely to push women towards the informal economy. This means that many women end up …
Continuities and Discontinuities in Work and Employment
In order to understand current transformations in work and employment and their implications for the informal economy, it is necessary to consider the historical development of regulative systems. Economic activities only become informal within the context of formality. As states became increasingly involved in the bureaucratic control and definition of economic activity they set up distinctions between economic and non-economic activity and betw…
Conclusions
In the context of global stagnation and economic crises, increased competition and the internationalization of the division of labour, employers and workers have turned to informal economic activities in attempts to achieve some level of economic security in a highly precarious environment. Decentralization has become a key strategy in the restructuring of global capital leading to the proliferation of new and atypical forms of employment. Tempor…
Estimates and Guesstimates
Defining the informal economy is far from straightforward. The extremely variable fiscal systems and social and cultural structures which characterize countries within Europe and states within America make it impossible to provide an overall definition. The term was first introduced in the context of economic activity in developing societies (Hart, 1973). The phrase was used thereafter as an umbrella term to describe ways of making a living outsi…
Household Economic Strategies
The previous chapter focused on the responses of individuals to changes in the structure and organization of formal employment. As formal job opportunities become more fluid and unstable, some individuals attempt to maintain an acceptable standard of living by turning to informal employment practices. The chapter illustrated how the formally employed, the unemployed and different types of workers such as ethnic minorities and children fit in with…
Alienation versus Liberation
The informal economy means all things to all people. The competing definitions of the concept outlined in Chapter 2 have led to a host of contradictory claims as to the potential of the informal economy to provide a more fulfilling work experience or dilute the inequalities of the formal economy. The world recession, the crisis of unemployment, shorter working hours and the rise in more precarious types of formal employment led to a flourishing i…

Children's attitudes to parents', teachers' and employers' perceptions of term‐time employment
This article is concerned with examining working children's perceptions of how adults in a range of different settings view their employment. In particular, the article explores how participation in the labour market influences adult‐child relationships within the home, at school and at work. Children interact with adults across a variety of different spheres. Dependence and independence permeate children's relationships with adults in different …
The human factor
Effective communication and teamwork is essential for the delivery of high quality, safe patient care. Communication failures are an extremely common cause of inadvertent patient harm. The complexity of medical care, coupled with the inherent limitations of human performance, make it critically important that clinicians have standardised communication tools, create an environment in which individuals can speak up and express concerns, and share c…
Teenage Girls and Housework in Irish Society
The purpose of this article is to examine girls' participation in domestic work in Irish households. The research supports other research in this field which demonstrates that girls' responsibility for domestic chores outweighs that of boys. However, the main thrust of the article is to examine girls' attitudes to the persistence of gender inequality in relation to domestic labour. In this regard, two key themes are addressed. The first is girls'…
