Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing Reclaiming Reusable and Recyclable Materials in Africa
نویسندگان
چکیده
The global research-policy-action network Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO) launched this dedicated urban policies research report series in October 2009. The series profiles content that makes either an empirical or theoretical contribution to existing knowledge about the urban working poor, their living and work environments and/or their organisations. Particular attention is paid to examining policy and planning paradigms and practice. The series includes statistical profiles of urban informal work and critical analysis of data gathering techniques. Attention is paid to methodological issues and innovations as well as suggestions for future research. All papers are peer reviewed.

متن کاملRate of Reusable and Recyclable Waste in Construction
Construction solid waste has caused serious environmental problems. Reuse, recycling and reduction of construction materials have been advocated for many years, and various methods have been investigated. However, the effectiveness of its applications seems limited. This paper examines rates of reusable and recyclable waste for six major types of building materials: plastic, paper, timber, meta...
متن کاملMunicipal Solid Waste Exposure and Health Concern: Indian Women are at Risk
Municipal solid waste (MSW) management has emerged as an important human and environmental health issue. A large number of poor, downtrodden marginalized urban women are thriving on these recyclable wastes and are potentially exposed to a variety of occupational biohazards and safety risks. At present there are about millions of women in India who scavenge the city’s garbage bins and MSW dispos...
متن کاملNano-TiO2: A novel, efficient and recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of 1, 2, 4, 5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles in solvent-free conditions
A convenient and efficient one-pot four-component synthesis of 1, 2, 4, 5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles using nano TiO2 as a recyclable catalyst is reported. The results show that the methodology has several advantages such as low loading of catalyst, excellent yield, short reaction time, operational simplicity and solvent-free conditions.
