Estado de bem-estar e igualdade de género: o desenvolvimento das políticas de articulação trabalho-família em Portugal no período 1976-2009.

Doutoramento em Sociologia Económica e das Organizações.Um dos desafios que os/as trabalhadores/as têm de enfrentar na sua vida quotidiana é o de encontrar um equilíbrio satisfatório entre as responsabilidades profissionais e familiares, dependendo em grande medida da provisão de bem-estar por via de políticas igualitárias. No contexto da União Europeia, Portugal tem sido um dos países que menor percentagem do PIB têm vindo a afectar à protecção social, posicionando-se sendo sempre abaixo da média europeia desde 2000. Esta evidência representa um fardo para as famílias portuguesas, sobretudo para as mulheres, que continuam a assumir a maior parte das responsabilidades do trabalho de cuidar num país que tem uma longa tradição de emprego feminino, com uma das mais elevadas taxas de emprego feminino da União Europeia, sobretudo em regime de tempo integral. O aumento das taxas de actividade feminina desde a década de 1960 evoluiu para a predominância de um padrão de duplo emprego nas famílias portuguesas, o que tem vindo a constituir um desafio para os governos, na medida em que requer a disponibilidade de uma ampla gama de infraestruturas e serviços públicos de apoio às famílias e outras políticas de articulação trabalho-família, como regimes de protecção da maternidade e da paternidade orientados para a igualdade e a partilha, Planos Nacionais para a Igualdade, entre outras. A presente investigação consistiu uma análise diacrónica das políticas de articulação da vida trabalho-família em Portugal desde 1976 (construção da democracia) até 2009 (novo regime jurídico de proteção social na parentalidade, orientado para partilha e a igualdade de género) e das suas implicações em matéria de igualdade de género. A análise empírica foi concretizada pela exploração do debate parlamentar, a análise de imprensa e 20 entrevistas individuais semi-estruturadas a agentes que contribuíram para os avanços legislativos no plano da articulação trabalho-família no período em análise.One of the greatest challenges that workers have to face in their daily routine is finding an adequate balance between work and family responsibilities, highly dependent on welfare provision through equality-oriented policies. In the European Union context, Portugal has been one of the countries with lower expenditure on social protection as a percentage of GDP, being always below the european average since 2000. This represents a burden for Portuguese families, especially for women, who continue to undertake most of the care work responsibilities in a country that has a long tradition of female employment, with one of the highest female employment rates in the European Union, mostly in a full-time basis. The raise of the female activity rates since the 1960s evolved to the predominance of a dual-earner pattern in Portuguese families, which has been a challenge for governments, as it demands a broad range of public infrastructures and services to support families and other work-life articulation policies such as gender- sharing parental leave systems, National Plans for Equality, amongst others. The present investigation consisted of a diachronic analysis of the work-family life articulation policies in Portugal since 1976 (construction of democracy) to 2009 (new Legal Regime for Parenthood Protection, gender equality-oriented), and their implications regarding gender equality. The empirical study has drawn upon parliamentary debate and press analysis, as well as 20 interviews with individuals who were responsible for the assignment of work-family life policies in the political agenda in Portugal.N/

The predictive value of dyadic coping in the explanation of PTSD symptoms and subjective well-being of work accident victims

Objective: Work accidents may be considered dyadic stressors in so far as they not only affect the worker, but also the couple's relationship. Dyadic coping, as the process by which couples manage the stress experienced by each partner, can strengthen individual health and well-being as well as couple relationship functioning. Accidents at work have progressively been studied from a perspective that focuses on their negative effects on PTSS, anxiety, and depression. However, to a large extent, the dyadic coping processes and results following a work accident are still to be identified and clarified. In this study, we examined the predictive value of dyadic coping in the explanation of PTSS and subjective well-being of work accident victims. Method: This study comprised a sample of 62 individuals involved in work accidents within the last 24 months (61.3% males) and their partners (N = 124; M = 46.25 years, SD = 11.18). All participants responded to the Dyadic Coping Inventory and the work accident victims also answered the PTSD Checklist - Civilian (PCL-C) and the Mental Health Continuum - Short Form (MHC-SF). Two hierarchical multiple regression analyses were performed using two different variable set models: Model 1 comprised the control variables gender and age, and Model 2 included the workers' and the partners' dyadic coping variables. Results: Results showed that dyadic coping reported by both workers and their respective partners (Model 2) was a significant predictor of workers' PTSS (p < 0.01) and subjective well-being (p < 0.001), explaining 31.2% of the variance in PCL-C and 68.7% in MHC-SF results. More specifically, the partners' supportive dyadic coping (by the self) and delegated dyadic coping (by the partner) were significant predictors of the workers' lower PTSS and virtually all the dyadic copying strategies of both the workers' and their partners' were significant predictors of the workers' higher subjective well-being. Conclusion: Dyadic coping of both the workers and their partners predicts the workers' PTSS and subjective well-being. These findings point to the need to work with couples who have experienced a work accident, with a view to improving the workers' mental health outcomes.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL : A data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occurrences in P ortugal

Mammals are threatened worldwide, with 26% of all species being includedin the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associatedwith habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mam-mals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion formarine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems func-tionality and resilience, and therefore information on their distribution is cru-cial to delineate and support conservation actions. MAMMALS INPORTUGAL is a publicly available data set compiling unpublishedgeoreferenced occurrence records of 92 terrestrial, volant, and marine mam-mals in mainland Portugal and archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira thatincludes 105,026 data entries between 1873 and 2021 (72% of the data occur-ring in 2000 and 2021). The methods used to collect the data were: live obser-vations/captures (43%), sign surveys (35%), camera trapping (16%),bioacoustics surveys (4%) and radiotracking, and inquiries that represent lessthan 1% of the records. The data set includes 13 types of records: (1) burrowsjsoil moundsjtunnel, (2) capture, (3) colony, (4) dead animaljhairjskullsjjaws, (5) genetic confirmation, (6) inquiries, (7) observation of live animal (8),observation in shelters, (9) photo trappingjvideo, (10) predators dietjpelletsjpine cones/nuts, (11) scatjtrackjditch, (12) telemetry and (13) vocalizationjecholocation.

Gender-Balanced Seats, Equal Power and Greater Gender Equality? Zooming into the Boardroom of Companies Bound by the Portuguese Gender Quota Law

This paper seeks to analyse the potential for change in the gender quota law on corporate boards in Portugal. This is achieved by incorporating concepts and insights drawn from political science and the study of quotas in politics and adjusting these to the boardroom context. It adds to the literature on women on boards by shedding light on the importance of looking at descriptive representation, substantive representation, substantive equality and transformative institutional change, in order to understand a quota law’s potential for eliciting gender balance in the boardroom, as well as greater gender equality in directorship positions, in board dynamics and at the workplace level. This study uses multi-strategy research methods. Evidence provided by the quantitative analysis of survey data, combined with the qualitative analysis of interviews undertaken with female and male board members and the contents of Gender Equality Action Plans (GEAPs), shows that there have been some changes in terms of descriptive representation, but fewer in relation to substantive equality, as men are still largely over-represented in positions associated with effective power and influence over decision-making. Moreover, although the promotion of gender equality at the workplace is valued by both groups, and particularly so by women, weaknesses have been found in the materialisation of such a commitment (substantive representation) through the adoption of GEAPs designed to tackle gendered patterns at the workplace (transformative institutional change)

Couple generativity scale: translation, adaptation and study of psychometric properties of the portuguese version

A importância da conjugalidade na vida adulta justifica o estudo de fatores que possam contribuir para a sua qualidade. Este artigo apresenta o desenvolvimento da Escala de Generatividade do Casal, versão portuguesa da Couple Generativity Scale de Bertoni, Parise e Iafrate (2012), bem como dados relativos à sua precisão e validade. Este questionário pretende avaliar a capacidade de o casal ultrapassar as fronteiras conjugais e cuidar também dos seus laços familiares e sociais. Com uma amostra de 406 adultos de ambos os sexos que se encontravam numa relação conjugal, foram identificadas qualidades psicométricas que encorajam a utilização da versão portuguesa. Os dados mostram que a estrutura unifatorial original se adequa à presente amostra, que a escala revela elevados níveis de precisão por consistência interna e que se evidenciam relações significativas da generatividade com outras variáveis importantes da conjugalidade, como ter filhos, a conceção da relação e a satisfação conjugal.The importance of couple relationship in adult life justifies the study of factors that may contribute to its quality. This article presents the development of the Couple Generativity Scale, the Portuguese version of Bertoni's, Parise and Iafrate's (2012) Couple Generativity Scale, as well as data on its accuracy and validity. This questionnaire aims to assess the couple's ability to cross marital boundaries together and to care for their family and social ties. With a sample of 406 adults of both sexes in a marital relationship, good psychometric qualities were found which encourage their use in the Portuguese population. The data show that the original unifactorial structure fits the present sample, that the scale reveals high levels of precision for internal consistency and that significant relationships of generativity with other important variables of conjugality, such as having children, the conception of the relationship and conjugal satisfaction, are evident.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Tecnologias com sentido

A Inclusão de crianças e jovens com Necessidades Educativas Especiais nas escolas de ensino regular, quer enquanto conceito, quer enquanto medida educativa emergente é, hoje, um dado inquestionável e incontornável. A tecnologia usa-se se trouxer melhorias sobre outros recursos, caso contrário trata-se apenas de uma associação à tendência mais do que uma seleção cuidada e consciente por parte do professor. Por isso nos devemos questionar se os recursos que utilizamos potenciam a aprendizagem.A generalização da ludicidade na aprendizagem e a proliferação de recursos disponíveis, permite que o que antes era dispendioso e de difícil acesso, hoje é facilmente encontrado na casa das crianças. O acesso à tecnologia passou a ser um processo disseminado: todos temos acesso a muitos recursos. É neste âmbito que a continuidade de trabalho entre os profissionais e a família pode, em muitos casos, ser facilitada. A portabilidade da tecnologia contrasta com o egocentrismo dos computadores fixos e pesados de outros tempos (e ainda destes). É também por isso que o percurso formativo dos professores e educadores “não se coaduna com métodos meramente expositivos e, neste ponto, verifica- se que as formações que obtêm mais sucesso são as que apontam numa grande componente prática, centradas no aprender fazendo.” (Ribeiro, Almeida e Moreira, 2014, p. 69) Há que, por um lado, valorizar a vertente lúdica do material proporcionando que a aprendizagem se transforme num momento divertido e dinâmico
