Recycled inequalities : youth and gender in George compound, Zambia

Upphovsperson: Schlyter, Ann
Utgivare: Nordiska Afrikainstitutet | Uppsala : Nordiska Afrikainstitutet
År: 1999
Ämnesord: Zambia, Southern Africa, Youth, Gender relations, Gender equality, SOCIAL SCIENCES, SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP
This report addresses concerns about gender inequalities, democracy and deteriorating urban living conditions in Zambia. It presents a study of the reality facing youth born and raised in a peri-urban area, George compound in Lusaka. Changes in political and community organisation and deteriorating living conditions affect young women and men differently, and gender relations have to be re-negotiated. The report voices the youths' concerns about their family situation and gender identity. Male gender identities based on breadwinning and sexual activity become problematic in times of unemployment and HIV. Young women tie their identity to motherhood, but some of those who get an education aim for a working career and relative independence before marriage. Existing gender inequalities are challenged but often recycled in slightly different forms.

Ja, hur ska det gå för ett land som gränsar till Sydafrika, som inte har någon kust och som är beroende av en järnväg genom Sydafrika för all sin import och export? Ett litet fattigt land som mest består av en öken - Kalahari. De rika diamantfyndigheter som finns i Botswana exploateras av det sydafrikanska multinationella företaget Anglo-American, som också äger och kontrollerar en kolgruva och en koppar-nickelgruva i Botswana. SIDA ger bistånd till Botswana för att minska landets beroende av Sydafrika och för att utjämna skillnaderna mellan stad och land, mellan rik och fattig. Men finns det något verkligt intresse för det hos de styrande i landet? Det är några av de frågor som tas upp i den här boken av Bo Bjelfvenstam, TV-journalist, som under en följd av år skildrat olika delar av Afrika i sina dokumentärfilmer.

The first paper is a concept paper and it represents an attempt to sketch out the remainder of the ZEAP in the areas of commercial, industrial, and urban energy use. The next three papers present findings of surveys of energy use patterns in the formal industrial, the transport, and the infromal industrial sectors of the economy. The final two papers represent formal models which were developed for the analysis undertaken as part of the ZEAP.
