Theorising ‘best practice’ for supporting those furthest from the market into work or self-employment in France and England
Mainstream/statutory Micro-Enterprise-and-Employment-Support-Services (MEESS) have delivered poor outcomes for disadvantaged individuals and deprived areas. In contrast, alternative third-sector socially-orientated MEESS show promising results but their well-recognised repertoire of ‘best practice’ remains under-theorised. This study addresses that gap using qualitative data from an innovative MEESS programme in deprived areas of England and Fran…
Rural modernization and the remaking of the rural citizen in China
The Chinese government's ambitious plans to modernize the countryside have significant impacts for rural populations. Upgrading or relocating villages is one component of this vision with profound implications for rural citizens. We use multiple social science research methods to investigate ongoing rural transformation in two villages designated for Village Redesign in Anhui Province, China. We show that the Village Redesign process is negativel…

Microfinance and Small Business Development in a Transitional Economy
Microfinance is seen as an important vehicle for developing small businesses in developing and transitional economies despite the relative absence of supporting research. We use mixed methods to offer a nuanced empirical exploration of the relationship between microfinance and everyday entrepreneurial practice(s) in Kazakhstan. As in many transitional contexts, ‘unbankable’ borrowers here operate in a vibrant informal sector, face high degrees of…

The New Zealand Northern Drivers' Union
In 1960, the Northern Drivers' Union of New Zealand instituted its anti-racism policy. How this came about, and what it meant for union struggles in the following two decades, are the central concerns of this article. Effectively, the implementation of democratic organising principles within the Northern Drivers' Union assisted the formation of anti-racism policy and practice. Union officials linked domestic racism with the experiences of black w…

Women bargaining with patriarchy in coastal Kenya
Gender analysts have long recognised that challenging existing patriarchal structures involves risks for women, who may lose both long-term support and protection from kin. However, understanding the specific ways in which they ‘bargain with patriarchy’ in particular contexts is relatively poorly understood. We focus on a Mijikenda fishing community in coastal Kenya to explore contradictions in gendered power relations and how women deploy these …

Do Male Migrants ‘Care’? How Migration is Reshaping the Gender Ethics of Care
Emerging literature about male migrants and changing family relations suggests the importance of revisiting the gendered politics of current analyses of the global chains of care. This paper situates care in relation to social reproduction and considers how men ‘do’ care and what this means for (re)constructing masculinities and class in the context of different migration regimes. The paper argues that a better analysis of the contradictions that…
Bringing analysis of gender and social–ecological resilience together in small-scale fisheries research
The demand for gender analysis is now increasingly orthodox in natural resource programming, including that for small-scale fisheries. Whilst the analysis of social-ecological resilience has made valuable contributions to integrating social dimensions into research and policy-making on natural resource management, it has so far demonstrated limited success in effectively integrating considerations of gender equity. This paper reviews the challeng…
To unite as one
This article examines the activities of the Freemans Bay Residents Welfare Association, which formed to promote residents' welfare and to retain the neighbourhood's integrity in the face of slum clearance during the 1950s and 1960s in Auckland, New Zealand. The Association's objective was: 'To combine socially for the cultural good of all people in the area. To unite as one, regardless of race, colour or creed, for the peaceful and fruitful exist…
Communist made at sea and in port
This article analyses New Zealand seafarer Gordon Harold (Bill) Andersen’s growing class consciousness as he experienced class relations at sea and in port during the Second World War. Oral histories of New Zealanders who served in the Merchant Navy demonstrate that, despite the pressures of patriotism to supply the war effort against fascism, there were efforts to form solidarities and enact everyday resistances to the brutal conditions experien…

Rural-urban migration in Vietnam and China
The transition from state socialism to market socialism in Vietnam and China has been characterized by unprecedented rural-urban migration. We argue that this migration is integral rather than incidental to the gendered reproduction of state and society. A review of the emerging literature on trans-local householding explores the process whereby the reflexive engagement of the state and the household remakes rural-urban differentiation in ways th…
Migration and Social Reproduction at Critical Junctures in Family Life Course
This review paper focuses on low-income migrants in (or from) developing countries and their social reproduction, and asks what this means for their social protection. We focus on the recognition that migration involves (re)negotiations of social reproduction by migrants and their families. These renegotiations are heavily inflected with gendered power relations in ways that are specific to individual and family life course. As such, migration in…
Migration, Reconfigurations of Family Relations and Social (In)Security
This introduction reviews the contributions this collection of articles makes to understanding migration, social reproduction and social protection. Migration necessarily involves reconfigurations of family relations and these entail changes in the patterning of social (in)security. Our expansive interpretation of the concepts of social reproduction and social protection situate the reorganisation of gendered family lives as integral to the migra…

Migration, Remittances, Livelihood Trajectories, and Social Resilience
We argue that all aspects of demographic change, including migration, impact on the social resilience of individuals and communities, as well as on the sustainability of the underlying resource base. Social resilience is the ability to cope with and adapt to environmental and social change mediated through appropriate institutions. We investigate one aspect of the relationship between demographic change, social resilience, and sustainable develop…

Qualitative Life Course Methodologies
This article reflects on two experiences of applying qualitative life course research in development studies. The first methodology centred on the elicited narratives of older people in Buenos Aires exploring their lifetime relations with their children and their current well-being. The second employed semi-structured interviews with young adults in Zambia to investigate their trajectories towards economic empowerment. In both methodologies, the …

Struggling to Sustain Marriages and Build Families
This paper explores the implications of increasingly feminized flows of rural-to-urban migration on the gendered family lives of low-income migrants. We focus on the strategies of migrants with young children through life histories collected in 2008 in the contrasting destinations of Hà NỠi and HỠChí Minh City. We illustrate the trade-offs migrants make in their efforts to maximize earnings/savings and safeguard their children's future. We show t…
Vulnerable relations
Many have presumed that in developing countries, contact with children is beneficial to older people's wellbeing, and particularly that women receive more support from children than men because of their lifelong commitment to family responsibilities. This study questions these stylised notions through an analysis of 22 life histories of older women and men living in a district with high rates of social exclusion in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It foc…

Analysing changing gender relations
Major conceptual advances in thinking about gender relations suggest the need to reassess conventional gender analyses within the context of development interventions. Evidence from development practice supports the conviction that 'targeting' can be undermined by processes of gendered bargaining around project interventions. Academic research points to key problems and potential methods for looking at changes in gender relations that might be ad…
Constructing a Gender Policy for Joint Forest Management in India
Policy makers and advocates of joint forest management (JFM) agree that women should be full participants and that their involvement is especially important because of the nature of women's work. This article examines how JFM policy has addressed gender in India. It argues that policy has been informed by instrumentalist positions in the debate over women's relationship to the environment. Consequently, gender planning in JFM has focused on two i…

The psychological effects of political and domestic violence on Central American and Mexican immigrant mothers and children
The goal of this study was to compare the psychosocial adjustment of 70 immigrant mothers and their children from Mexico and countries in Central America. In particular, we traced the effects of political violence on Central American refugee families and domestic violence on resettled Mexican women and children. Mothers and children were interviewed about political and domestic violence they had witnessed and experienced, and their current mental…

Blame the System, Not the Victim!” Organizing the Unemployed in New Zealand, 1983–1992
The restructuring of capital and the transformation of the workforce in the late twentieth century has produced a newly-shaped working class; one that encompasses those in insecure work and unemployed workers. With this repositioning has come new political organizations of unemployed workers, of which Te Roopu Rawakore o Aotearoa, the national New Zealand organization for unemployed workers, is an example. This organization of unemployed was not …

Visiting Marriages and Remote Parenting
Despite the ongoing centrality of marriage and reproduction in Vietnam, family and spousal separation is an increasing reality for many poor rural–urban migrants. We offer a social relational analysis of reproduction to explore how migrant men and women in their peak child-bearing and child-rearing years negotiate conjugal strategies and expectations. Labour migration for these poor men and women involves high costs for family relations, social i…
