youth recession and downward gender convergence young people s employment education and Homemaking in finland spain taiwan and the united states 2000 2013
Social Politics, 2019Co-Authors: Lyn Craig, Brendan Churchill, Melissa WongAbstract:Using data from the Luxembourg Income Study, we conduct a gender comparison of how young people aged 20–34 in Finland (n¼19,941), Spain (n¼29,458), Taiwan (n¼47,219), and the United States (n¼184,581) participated in full time work, short-hours or temporary work, education, and Homemaking before and after the Great Recession (GR) beginning 2008. Gender and country patterns varied substantially. In Finland, the GR was associated with higher proportions of young women Homemaking, perhaps due to public support for home care of children. In Spain and the United States, higher proportions of both young men and young women were un- or underemployed post-GR, suggesting downward gender convergence.

Shelter as Home?: Syrian Homemaking in Jordanian Refugee Camps
Human Organization, 2018Co-Authors: Jason Hart, Natalia Paszkiewicz, Dima AlbadraAbstract:The lifespan of displacement camps around the globe is often measured in years or decades. Nevertheless, the establishment of camps to house people fleeing political violence is often framed as an emergency measure of limited duration. These are depicted as “temporary” spaces in which people are provided with aid and support until such time that they are able to return to their “permanent” homes. In this article, we focus on the actions and aspirations of camp residents to imbue their dwellings with a sense of home. Our empirical material was generated through fieldwork in two camps in Jordan housing people displaced from Syria. “Homemaking” in this location calls into question the rigid opposition between “temporary” and “permanent”: an opposition that, for diverse reasons, host states, donors, humanitarians, and camp residents may strive to maintain, at least in rhetorical terms. Attending to the creation of dedicated space for receiving guests, we consider the content of Homemaking as shaped by residen...
