ABSTRACTThe paper attempts to contextualize the significance of the work of unpaid female family helpers’ (UPFFH) for women empowerment. Additionally, it brings into light the subjective feelings and perceptions of unpaid family helpers. The current research is based on primary data collected through a self-structured questionnaire from 200 females aged 15+ years who were helping in the household income generation without getting paid. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among UPFFHs residing in district Lahore, Pakistan. The participants were selected using a simple random sampling technique. The analysis of UPFFHs empowerment was performed by employing a percentage distribution approach based on four levels of participation in decision making. The research puts emphasis on the impact of excessive, unequal, and unpaid work on women and further argues for social rational of recognizing the work through empowering women in decision-making process at their personal, household, and community level. The findings of the study indicates that the young UPFFHs are less empowered as they face the greatest familial and community pressure when it comes to making their life decisions. However, the paper further documents their aspiration to attain economic independence which would then bring change in gender perceptions and their overall social standing. The paper concludes by highlighting the problems associated with “unpaid work” and why it must be addressed, especially if the country has to fully realize the valued goal of women empowerment and gender equality.KEYWORDS: Unpaid family helperswomen empowermentgender inequalitiessocial value of work Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. For the purpose of present study UPFFH is used to mention unpaid female family helper.

ABSTRACTThis study aims at identifying and understanding the perception level of the housing conditions of young married couples when entering parenthood and their reasons for leaving or extending their residence in their currently occupied apartment units. Place attachment, which plays a key role in placemaking for young married couples, as prominent tenants, comprises their perceived satisfaction with physical features and social connectedness in apartments in Jakarta. The study, which takes a mixed-methods with embedded quantitative-emphasized design approach, shows that many young married couples with preadolescent children extend their residence in their apartments due to the unit’s suitability with their housing preferences and tenurial security, and due to dual homeownership. Others, however, opt to leave due to a poor social environment and management quality, which decrease the strength of social connectedness among tenants. The results suggest that social connectedness and its strength play a formidable role in terms of supporting place attachment to an apartment in Jakarta.KEYWORDS: Place attachmentsocial connectednessapartmentyoung married couplespreadolescent Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTThis exploratory pilot of innovative support for college-age students with invisible disabilities investigated the effects of a seven-week self-advocacy intervention. A multiple methods approach was utilized to investigate the effect of a self-advocacy instructional intervention on six college-aged students with LD and/or ADHD abilities to advocate with their college professors and understand their disability. The data were collected via semi-structured pre/post interviews, pretest/posttest questionnaires on self-advocacy components, and pretest/posttest role-play sessions requesting accommodations from a professor. Findings revealed that the early disability experiences in K-12 shaped the participants’ capacities to learn and demonstrate self-advocacy skills. Four main themes emerged from the stories and lived experiences of six college students with LD and/or ADHD: (a) interactions between family support and educational experiences; (b) self-advocacy knowledge; (c) self-advocacy experiences; and (d) perceived benefits of the intervention. Students found the intervention helpful in supporting future self-advocacy behavior. The findings from this study can be used as a starting point for future investigations and to support findings from other studies. Future research could include extending this study, however, conducting it with first-year students or students newly identified, beginning the first week of classes fall semester.KEYWORDS: self-advocacypostsecondary transitionlearning disabilitiesattention-deficit hyperactivity disorderinstructional intervention AcknowledgmentsI would like to thank the students who participated in this study.

Living at or near poverty can be isolating for individuals and their families. Using the ecological perspective with emphasis on transactions across systems, we examine the social and community capital of urban, low-income individuals to understand the broader terrain that shapes and is shaped by some of their choices, and suggest the implications that our findings might have for anti-poverty initiatives. Data are from interviews with 181 urban residents involved in a federally funded workforce development training, a particular type of social support programming that endeavors to increase the human capital of participants so that they can compete more effectively in the labor market. Findings indicate that respondents have small, homogenous networks, live in resource depleted communities, and have limited sources of social support. We frame this as being caught in “urban silos,” in which transactions to more resource-robust systems are minimal to non-existent. While the development of one’s human capital is essential, because of these silos, it may not be sufficient for moving an individual and their family out of poverty. Job training, and other anti-poverty initiatives, need to intentionally assist participants in network building so they can better access opportunity pathways that provide jobs and other economic and social resources.

The transtheoretical model of behavior change (TTM) can be used to help people to stop smoking and engage in other addictive behaviors. It has also been used on cancer prevention, HIV risk reduction, dietary change, exercise, occupational safety, and organizational change initiatives. TTM can be used with other therapies to assess an individual’s stage of change. This literature review examines the origins, actors, principles, applications, and evidence relevant to the development of TTM and the ways that it is being applied by members of the social work profession.
