Livelihood and Wellbeing in the Urban Fringe
Author: Nasrin Banu
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319396609
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
This book presents a detailed study on Aligarh’s urban fringe, focusing on the livelihood of the villagers who have lived there for generations, and on that of the migrants residing in the villages. As a Class-I city, located in the most populated state (Uttar Pradesh) of India, Aligarh has gained in importance due to its proximity to the national capital (New Delhi) and Uttar Pradesh’s industrial cities (Kanpur and Ghaziabad). The 2011 census showed that of the total population of the district, 33.1 per cent was urban (872,575 residents). Projections by the Town and Country Planning Department suggest that the city will have some 1.2 million inhabitants and there will be a need for another 64,000 houses. Thus, the city will expand extensively into its urban fringe, which is expected to entail large-scale transformations. The expansion of the city will significantly influence nearby villages in terms of land use and population, both physically and socio-economically.

Socio-Economic Disparities, Vulnerable Communities, and the Future of Work and Entrepreneurship
Author: Rolle, JoAnn Denise
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1668469928
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
While many scholars, governments, and corporations have expressed that they would like to play a hand in developing an inclusive and equitable society, few have achieved the goal. Vulnerable communities around the world have suffered systemically and have been left on their own to succeed economically despite decades of disadvantage. It is essential to consider these communities and their sociological and systemic factors when considering the future of work in order to succeed in developing a truly sustainable and equitable society. Socio-Economic Disparities, Vulnerable Communities, and the Future of Work and Entrepreneurship discusses the journey of vulnerable communities in the pursuit of entrepreneurship. It further investigates the strategies and action that governments and organizations can take to cultivate an inclusive environment within the future of work. Covering topics such as economic agency, equitable access, and affirmative action, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for policymakers, government officials, non-profit organizations, business leaders and executives, human resource managers, economists, students and faculty of higher education, researchers, and academicians.

Migration Law in Ghana
Author: Samuel Obeng Manteaw
Publisher: Kluwer Law International B.V.
ISBN: 9403501952
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this monograph on the rules on immigration and right of residence of non-nationals in Ghana examines the legal and administrative conditions for persons not having the citizenship of a State to enter the country and to stay and reside there. It provides a survey of the subject that is both usefully brief and sufficiently detailed to answer most questions likely to arise in any pertinent legal setting. It follows the common structure of all monographs appearing in the International Encyclopaedia for Migration Law,thus allowing easy comparison between the country studies. As migration and economic activities are often interlinked, the analysis pays particular attention to labour market access and regulation of self-employed activities for non-nationals. The book describes the status of such specific categories of persons as students, researchers, temporary workers, and asylum seekers, as well as the position of family members, detailing applicable legislation and providing practical information on administrative procedures, sanctions, and legal remedies and guarantees. The impact of international human rights law and various bilateral and multilateral agreements is considered, along with the broader application of national and local law to non-citizens in such areas as family relations, labour, social security, and education. Lawyers, scholars, practitioners, policymakers, government administrations, and non-governmental organizations involved in the development, practice and study of migration law will find this book indispensable. It will be welcomed by lawyers representing parties with interests in Ghana and immigration specialists in both public and private organizations. Academics and researchers also will appreciate its value in the study of comparative trends and harmonization initiatives affecting migrants.
