Die Zeitschrift für Sozialhilfe ZESO ist eine fachpolitische Zeitschrift, die als Scharnier funktioniert zwischen Sozialhilfe, Sozialwesen, Sozialpolitik und Forschung. Sie liefert zusammen mit ihren Vorgängern Der Armenpfleger (1903-1966) und der Zeitschrift für öffentliche Fürsorge (1967-1996) einen guten Überblick über die sozialpolitischen Themen und Diskussionen seit über 100 Jahren. Die ZESO wird von der Schweizerischen Konferenz für Sozialhilfe SKOS herausgegeben. Sie richtet sich an die für die Sozialhilfe zuständigen Behörden auf kommunaler und kantonaler Ebene sowie an SozialarbeiterInnen und weitere Fachpersonen im Sozialwesen. Sie erscheint viermal pro Jahr auf Deutsch, online auszugsweise auch auf Französisch.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were agreed to by the international community in 2015 and represent an ambitious effort to set a global agenda for development that is both equitable and sustainable, in social, economic and environmental terms, following on from the earlier Millennium Development Goals. This paper proposes an adapted set of indicators to assess countries' performance against the promise of 'leaving no one behind'. It seeks to bring the SDG targets for children in high-income countries into meaningful operation and to establish a point of departure for reviewing the SDG framework in these contexts, focusing on those goals and targets with most direct relevance to the well-being of children in high-income settings, including the domains of no poverty, zero hungr, good health and wellbeing, quality education, decent work and economic growth, reduced inequalities, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, and peace, justice, and strong institutions. The paper compares 41 countries across 25 indicators, ranking countries on their achievements in well-being for children.

"This scholarly monograph is based on a doctoral dissertation, On Holding Part of a Child's Life in One's Hands. Conversations between Professionals and Children with Mentally Ill or Substance Addicted Parents: An Ethical and Narrative Perspective, the subject of which is children's participation in group therapy discussions for children whose parents are mentally ill or substance users. The book builds on experiences from participant observation in seven different groups and follow-up conversations with the participating children and the professionals who lead the groups. The objective was to investigate the possibilities children have in such groups for being independent subjects in search of and making sense. The issue is: How are a child's experiences handled in discussion groups for children of mentally ill or substance addicted parents? The book's scientific anchor is in expository hermeneutics, which underpins the emphasis on the significance of balance and reciprocity in interactions between the children and the professionals who lead the groups. In this connection, exploring in concrete situations how the group leader created space for the individual child's perspective by putting his/her own perspectives into play (or by not doing so) is central. Expository hermeneutics also makes possible identifying some of what is not put into words, barely mentioned or implied, in interactions between the professional and the child, but which nonetheless may have considerable bearing on the understanding that is formed. The experiences and observations from the discussion groups are conveyed via nine stories detailing specific conversations and activities in which the children conveyed their experiences, thoughts and feelings, without them becoming further topics in the group work. Through interpretation of these stories a perception emerges of group conversation for children with mentally ill or addicted parents as being a practice in which the child's own experience of their parent's illness or dependency is only to a limited degree made an issue. Through a theoretical discussion in which what has transpired in the group interactions is elevated to a more generally insightful level, a deeper understanding of this phenomenon is sought."

Cette étude s'attache à mettre en évidence les principales caractéristiques du travail des enfants en Amérique Latine, une région où, selon la dernière estimation de l'incidence du travail des enfants effectuée par l'Organisation Internationale du Travail (OIT, 2002), un peu plus de 17 millions d'enfants de 5 à 14 ans étaient économiquement actifs en l'an 2000 (soit 16% de cette classe d'âge). Pour cela, trois enquêtes nationales réalisées en 1998 auprès de ménages de trois pays limitrophes - le Brésil, la Colombie et le Venezuela - ont été utilisées. Ce rapport consacre une première partie à l'analyse statistique du travail des enfants dans les trois pays précédemment cités. Les fortes disparités de l'incidence du travail enfantin entre les zones rurales et urbaines de ces pays, entre les régions, et au sein même de ces régions, sont mises en évidences. La nature du travail des enfants (horaires de travail, secteurs d'activité, statut, rémunération) est détaillée. Enfin, une ... The aim of this study is to highlight the main characteristics of child labour in Latin America-a region in which, according to the International Labour Organization's latest estimate of the impact of child labour (ILO, 2002), just over 17 million children aged between 5 and 14 (or 16% of that age group) were economically active in the year 2000. For that purpose, three national household surveys conducted in 1998 in three neighbouring countries-Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela have been used. The first part of the report is devoted to a statistical analysis of child labour in the above three countries. It highlights the sharp disparities in the frequency of child labour between these countries' rural and urban areas, between regions, and even within regions. The nature of child labour (hours, sectors of activity, status, pay) is set forth in detail. Lastly, special attention is paid to the linkages between child labour and schooling, household structure and household.
