Hidrelétricas na Amazônia: renovabilidade e não renovabilidade da política energética. Se é desejável a renovabilidade das formas de conversão de energia, por que não é desejável renovar a política energética?

O ensaio tem a intenção de discutir, apresentando como pano de fundo os recentes projetos hidrelétricos propostos e em andamento na Amazônia brasileira, aspectos referentes aos processos de licenciamento ambiental, problemas conceituais que dizem respeito à caracterização da conversão hidrelétrica como energia limpa e renovável. Este trabalho parte da análise de planos governamentais e das discussões sobre projetos hidrelétricos, identificando a necessidade de implementar mudanças institucionais e de fortalecer as leis ambientais e de proteção dos direitos de populações tradicionais e indígenas. Propõe-se uma nova maneira de formular problemas energéticos e de planejar a oferta de energia, que leva em consideração aspectos sustentáveis e patrocinadores da discussão pública, além do entendimento e da incorporação das consequências sobre os grandes ciclos biogeoquímicos que dão suporte às conversões de energia.

The invisible face of child labour in Latin America and the Caribbean

Child labour has a gender bias related to the dominant stereotypes regarding gender roles. While out-of-home paid work is carried out predominantly by boys, girls bear the greater burden in unpaid domestic tasks, whether in their own homes or the homes of others. Boys are more exposed to the risks of being out on the street and find it more difficult to combine work and education. For girls it may be easier to reconcile the spheres of work and education, but they suffer costs that remain hidden and that reinforce their disadvantages throughout the life cycle. On the one hand, they are marked by the assumption that the burden of the care economy is entirely their responsibility, which determines future labour prospects. Indeed, even when girls show greater educational achievement, their occupational options are more limited. On the other hand, girls are exposed to risk within the household, where overexploitation, maltreatment and abuse are as frequent as they are unpunished.
