Emotional Intelligence, Conflict Resolution and Self Efficacy among Children of Working and Non-Working Mothers

Adolescents of working and non-working mothers are assessed for emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, and self-efficacy. Developmental features examined a sample of 200. The group was emotionally intelligent, 72–148, M 117.9, SD 15.4. Conflict resolution scores 36 to 54 averaged 45.0 (SD = 3.0), indicating moderate efficacy and low skewness. Average self-efficacy declined from 12 to 66 to 28.6 (SD = 5.7). Adolescents with non-working mothers scored higher on emotional intelligence (M = 121.65, SD = 13.55) than working mothers (M = 114.16, SD = 16.39), with a modest effect size. Adolescents of non-working parents had higher self-efficacy (M = 29.53, SD = 6.12) than working moms (M = 27.81, SD = 5.20) with a small to moderate effect size (Cohen's d = 0.3 Adolescent emotional intelligence and self-efficacy are higher in non-working mothers. Because parental employment influences adolescent development, working women's families need interventions.

Motivation of Learning English; A Case of Indonesian Migrant Worker's Children in Malaysia

Motivation is one of the key components of learning. Researchers have begun to consider these motivations as a result of the extremely rapid increase in the interest of learning the foreign languages. This study aims to investigate the students’ motivation at SB Kampung Bharu in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in learning a foreign language. This research employs a mixed method where the data obtained through questionnaires. The quantitative data was calculated and categorized using the presentation, while the qualitative data was analyzed using Miles and Huberman methods including data reduction, data display, and conclusion. Students from grades VI and V at SB Kampung Bharu in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, were the subject of the research. The results showed that student motivation for learning foreign languages was quite high. It can be seen from the quantitative data that revealed the students' motivation to learn foreign languages were 40% always, 48% often, 68% sometimes, 16% rarely, and 16% never during the English learning process. In particular, there is a fairly high indicator produced where students have a fairly high interest and motivation to learn foreign languages both internally and externally, so that students can succeed their English language learning process with the support of this motivation.

Capital Inflows and Working Children in Developing Countries: An Empirical Approach

International capital flows and the operation of multinational enterprises (MNEs) are influenced by several socioeconomic and political factors. Among them, low labor cost is listed among the determinants that attract foreign capital, primarily foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, which in various cases is attributed to unskilled employees, including working children. Working children, mainly in developing countries, remain an important social issue which has attracted increasing research interest, as well as the coordinated efforts of international organizations. The present research aims to empirically investigate the interaction between FDI inflows and child labor in developing countries using panel data analysis. The paper includes an extensive literature review of related empirical research on the association between child labor and FDI inflows in developing countries. The novelty of the study is attributed to its effort to empirically investigate the causality between FDI and child labor in two geographic regions that present high rates of working children, namely sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. A sample of 42 developing countries from a period ranging from 1980 to 2019 was used and Granger causality tests were applied. The study concludes that there is a unidirectional causal relationship from FDI inflows to child labor in these regions and no causality was observed from child labor on macroeconomic independent variables. Several policies and proposals that will reduce or prevent child labor in the subsidiaries of multinational companies are included.

The Financial Lives of the Workers: An Analysis Amid Corona Pandemic in Bangladesh

This paper has tried to explore the nature of the living patterns of the workers amid the CORONA pandemic in Bangladesh. The article is shaped entirely by qualitative and secondary data based. However, Bangladesh has achieved tremendous success in the readymade garment sector. Readymade garment sectors are altogether dependent on male and female workers who are contributing to the nation as well as to the sectors. Nevertheless, due to the outbreak of the CORONA virus in 2020, Bangladesh is facing a pandemic situation that makes the workers more vulnerable. They are suffering difficulties in many forms, including layoff, closed or reduced remuneration, factory shutdown, congested working settings, prolonged working hours and overtime, unsecured workplace, lack of protective measures, lack of rehabilitating supports, delay of their children's education, traumatic and fearful environment of worker's children, and insufficient health facilities for them. Moreover, the pandemic is hampering the activities of apparel workers, and other informal workers such as rickshaws and van pullers, agriculturists, construction laborers, hawkers, rag pickers, transport workers, and part-time domestic employees are all examples of part-time domestic workers. They are the most vulnerable segment of the CORONA pandemic situation in Bangladesh. As a result, they cannot afford the necessities of family members, including daily food, education, nutrition, and health, due to low income.

Comparison of Dental Caries and Oral Hygiene among Children of Working and Non-Working Mothers

Background: Mother’s role in improving children’s oral hygiene and reducing the risk of tooth decay is undeniable. However, a mother’s employment status has been an important yet ignored aspect to study for its potential impact on the oral hygiene of children. Aim To compare the frequency of dental caries and poor oral hygiene in children of working and non-working mothers Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 260 children divided in two groups (working and non-working mothers). The data was collected using nonprobability convenience sampling. The mothers were briefed about research and data was collected from them. The data was entered and analyzed using SPSS 21. Descriptives were given in form of mean, median, standard deviations, and interquartile ranges. Chi-square test, independent sample t-test, and Mann Whitney U test were applied for the statistical difference of oral hygiene-related variables in the two groups. Results: The mean age of working mothers was 30.97 ± 4.204 years and of non-working mothers was 28.59 ±4.86 years. A significant association of the working status of the mother was found in the lesser frequency of brushing, more consumption of sweets as well as bottle feeding. (p-values<0.05). higher knowledge of negative effects of bottle feeding was reported among working mothers (16.2%) compared to nonworking mothers (8.5%), (p-value<0.001), the assistance in brushing was significantly higher in nonworking mothers (37.7%) compared to working mothers (22.3%), (p-value=0.007). Conclusion:: This study concludes that working mothers have a significantly higher risk of tooth decay, missing tooth, and tooth filling among their children. Keywords: Dental caries, decay, missing tooth, filled teeth, oral hygiene, brushing, sweets consumption

Indonesian Government’s Efforts to Cooperate with Malaysia’s Government in Protecting Educational Rights of Indonesian Migrant Workers Children (Case Study: Children of Indonesian Migrant Workers in Sabah)

Indonesia and Malaysia are geographically close countries. That is one of the reason why many Indonesian Migrant Workers come to Malaysia to look for a job. Although Malaysian Immigration Agency has banned migrants from bringing their families with them, there are still 50.000 Indonesian children in Sabah who work with their parents. But these children do not get a proper education. This study aims to examine how Indonesian Government response and effort to fulfill the protection of the education rights of Indonesian migrant children in Sabah, Malaysia. Using the concept of Soft Power Diplomacy and Legal Protection for Children, this study concludes that the Indonesian government has sought legal protection and education for Indonesian children in Sabah from discrimination by establishing diplomatic relations with Malaysia, NGO Humana Child Aid Society, Kota Kinabalu Indonesian School, and the Community Learning Center.

Positioning Agency of Migrant Street Working Children in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Ethiopia is among the poorest countries of the world in which many children do not have access to a quality education, and many children are engaged in child labour. The study aims to explain the interplay of factors for independent migration and street working experience of children. The article adopted an ethnographic qualitative research method. In-depth interviews, observation, and informal discussions were important tools of data collection. The findings show that independent migration is an important component of working children on streets of Addis Ababa. Children exercise their agency to migrate and engage in a certain kinds of street activities. Most of them migrate from rural areas for non-economic reasons. Street activities are gendered as well as generationally divided. These children have positioned themselves as workers and streets as their workplaces. Despite their agency, they are vulnerable to different structural problems. Hence, blaming child street workers cannot be an effective means of eliminating child labour.

Child Labor and Its Effects on Schooling, Health and Recreation of Filipino Children

This study used a novel log linear analysis to identify the factors that enhance and hamper working children’s effort to receive education, stay healthy and engage in recreational activities. The study looked at a sample of working children aged between 5 and 17 years in a nationwide study in 1995 and 2001 by the National Survey on Working Children (NSWC). It was found that the dropout rate from school decreased when the number of working hours and frequency of heavy physical work lessened. Working for a relative, and when the child is an unpaid worker did not affect their schooling as compared to children who engaged in heavy physical work. In 1995, the adverse effect on health among working children in the agricultural sector was due to heavy physical work and exposure to parasites and bacteria. In 2001, it was found that most children working in the industrial sector were affected by exposure to extreme temperatures and harmful chemicals. Long working hours meant less time for recreational activities. The identification of these specific factors are useful for policy makers in the Philippines who aim at reducing the incidence of child labor.

A Study to assess the Physical Growth in Children of Working and Non-Working Mothers

Children of today are the citizens of tomorrow. Childhood is the period of rapid change in developmental, social, emotional, cognitive and linguistic abilities of the child. The mother continues to be the main person who cares for children. Employment of women has created number of problems for the development of children. A comparative study was conducted to assess the physical growth in children of working and non- working mothers in a selected community, Ludhiana, Punjab with objectives: To assess the physical growth in children of working and non- working mothers, To compare the physical growth in children of working and non-working mothers, To assess and compare the relationship of physical growth in children of working and non-working mothers with selected demographic variables and to prepare pamphlets. A non-experimental, comparative study was conducted in selected community of Ludhiana. The target population was children (3–5 years) of working and non- working mothers. 60 children were selected by purposive sampling technique. Data was collected by using self structured proforma. Data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics and presented through tables and figures. Findings revealed that majority of children of Non- working mothers had normal physical growth as compared to children of working mothers. While comparing the physical growth in children of working and non-working mothers three parameters of physical growth that is weight for age, height for age and mid arm circumference were found statistically significant and body mass index was found statistically non significant. In demographic variables mother's age, child's gender, birth order, and Type of Family had an impact on Weight for age, birth order had some impact on height for age. Family income had an effect on mid arm circumference and mother's age had impact on body mass index of children.

Personality Traits and their Impact on the Academic Achievement of Children of Working and Non-working Mothers

This study aimed to investigate the impact of academic achievement of children of working and non-working mothers in relation with introvert and extrovert personality traits. One hundred eighty senior secondary students were selected from Government and Non-Government Schools. Thirty students from each school were selected on the basis of working and non-working mothers’ children. The personality inventory developed by Dr. Yashvir Singh, and Dr. Har Mohan Singh, from Agra, India was used. Correlation & ‘t’ test were used for statistical analysis. To determine the significance between the means of two groups t-test values were computed. Two levels of significance 0.05 and 0.01 were used. The result of the study showed there is no significant relationship between the extroversion personality trait and academic achievement of male children whereas there is no significant relationship found between the introversion personality trait and academic achievement of male children while it is found that there is a significant difference between the academic achievement of children of working and non-working mothers. In to the progressive and competitive world characterised by more exposure to the children might be responsible for such indifferences while the mothers’ employment may not affect the academic performance of the children.

The Work Children Do: Unpacking Gendered Conflict in an Elementary Classroom

In this essay, Hana Kawai and Emily Taylor provide a case study of one teacher's classroom that examines issues of student conflict, gender dynamics, and the importance of reflective discussion to address oppressive social structures. Through reflections and observations that focus on the intersection of gender and race, they urge teachers to recognize, understand, and respond to everyday classroom conflict through a critical lens. Kawai and Taylor conclude with an "imagined conversation"that discusses the larger societal influences that affect individual choices.

Intestinal parasites, nutritional status and physchomotor development delay in migratory farm worker's children

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of intestinal parasites, nutritional status and physchomotor developmental delay and anaemia in children of migratory seasonal farm worker families. In this cross-sectional study, 168 children aged between 6 and 59 months selected through probability sampling method were contacted in the Sanliurfa district of south-eastern Anatolia of Turkey. The data were collected using a structured questionnaire, anthropometry and Ankara Developmental Screening Inventory to measure physchomotor development. In order to evaluate the anaemia, finger-prick blood samples were used and laboratory analyses of faecal samples were conducted. 55.4% of children were infected by intestinal parasites. The most common infections involved the protozoan parasite Giardia intestinalis (37.2%). Of the children 17.8% had general psychomotor development delay. Regarding the nutritional status of the 168 children who participated, 38.1% were stunted, 20.8% were underweight, and 5.4% were wasted. Of these children, 16.6% were anaemic. The findings demonstrated that the children of migratory seasonal farm workers were defined as a high-risk group in terms of nutritional status, intestinal parasites and physchomotor development delay. Therefore, the effective delivery of mobile environmental and individual primary healthcare services to the farm workers' children must be ensured both while residing in the agricultural zone and in their permanent addresses.
