Das Projekt „Frühinformationssystem regio pro“1 liefert Informationen über die zukünftigen Entwicklungen auf den hessischen Arbeitsmärkten. Dabei handelt es sich um mittelfristige Prognosen zur Entwicklung von Beschäftigung differenziert nach Berufsgruppen, Qualifikationsebenen und Wirtschaftszweigen für Hessen, für die drei Regierungsbezirke sowie für alle 26 Kreise und kreisfreien Städte. Diese Form von Prognosen wird bereits seit 2007 erstellt, alle zwei Jahre aktualisiert und fortgeschrieben. In diesem Bericht werden Prognosen bis zum Jahr 2024 vorgelegt, wobei die Berechnungen auf den Daten des Jahres 2017 basieren. Die Beschäftigungsprognosen können als Orientierungswissen für Akteure aus der Politik, der Wirtschaft und dem Bildungsbereich sowohl auf Landesebene als auch in den Regionen dienen. Zudem bieten die Daten eine solide Grundlage für die Entwicklung regionaler Arbeitsmarkt- und Fachkräftesicherungsstrategien.
Das IAB-Betriebspanel wird seit 1996 jährlich bundesweit im Auftrag des Instituts für Arbeitsmarktund Berufsforschung der Bundesagentur für Arbeit (IAB) durchgeführt. In den Monaten Juli bis Oktober 2018 wurden die Betriebe erneut zu betrieblichen Bestimmungsgrößen der Beschäftigung befragt. Grundlage der Auswertungen für Hessen sind Befragungsdaten von insgesamt 1.046 Betrieben aus Hessen. Die befragten Betriebe repräsentieren die Grundgesamtheit von rund 162 Tausend Betrieben in Hessen mit mindestens einem sozialversicherungspflichtig Beschäftigten. Im Folgenden werden die wichtigsten Ergebnisse zu Beschäftigungspotenzialen in den hessischen Betrieben dargestellt.
Bis zum Jahr 2024 wird in Hessen laut Prognose mit einem Engpass von rund 174.710 Fach- kräften zu rechnen sein. Davon entfallen 135.070 auf Beschäftigte mit Berufsausbildung und 39.640 auf Beschäftigte mit (Fach-)Hochschulabschluss. Bei den Personen ohne Berufsabschluss werden leichte Überhänge von 3.310 Personen erwartet. Die für das Jahr 2024 geschätzte Fachkräftelücke entspricht rund sieben Prozent der Beschäftigten im Jahr 2017, dem Ausgangsjahr der Prognose.
In den meisten Wirtschaftszweigen in Hessen werden Engpässe erwartet. Besonders stark betroffen sind die Branchen Gesundheits- und Sozialwesen, Verkehr und Logistik, Information und Kommunikation, die Baubranche und das Produzierende Gewerbe. Auch bei der Mehrzahl der Berufe werden bis 2024 Engpässe erwartet. Besonders hoch fallen diese in den Berufen der Gesundheits- und Krankenpflege, Rettungsdienst und Geburtshilfe, Altenpflege, Erziehung, Sozialarbeit und Heilerziehungspflege, Arzt- und Praxishilfe sowie Fahrzeugführung im Straßenverkehr aus. Bei den meisten Berufsgruppen ist hinsichtlich der höheren Anforderungsniveaus „Fachkraft“, „Spezialist“ und „Experte“ fast immer mit Engpässen zu rechnen. Demgegenüber sind auf dem Anforderungsniveau „Helfer“ je nach Berufsgruppe Überhänge oder Engpässe vorhanden.
Im Regierungsbezirk Darmstadt wird bis 2024 ein Engpass von 95.190 Fachkräften geschätzt. Geringer stellen sich die Lücken in den Regierungsbezirken Gießen mit 38.480 und Kassel mit 41.040 fehlenden Fachkräften dar. Die bis 2024 entstehenden Lücken sind im Verhältnis zu den Beschäftigtenzahlen im Jahr 2017 in ländlichen Regionen deutlich größer als in Mittelzentren und Kreisen, die näher an den Großstädten liegen. Selbst für die urbanen Gebiete wird prognostiziert, dass das Zuwanderungsniveau auf heutigem Stand, die Lücken im Jahr 2024 nicht mehr ausreichend kompensieren könnte.
Post-1994, South Africa's traditional leaders have fought for recognition, and positioned themselves as major players in the South African political landscape. Yet their role in a democracy is contested, with leaders often accused of abusing power, disregarding human rights, expropriating resources and promoting tribalism. Some argue that democracy and traditional leadership are irredeemably opposed and cannot co-exist. Meanwhile, shifts in the political economy of the former bantustans - the introduction of platinum mining in particular - have attracted new interests and conflicts to these areas, with chiefs often designated as custodians of community interests. This edited volume explores how chieftancy is practised, experienced and contested in contemporary South Africa. It includes case studies of how those living under the authority of chiefs, in a modern democracy, negotiate or resist this authority in their respective areas. Chapters in this book are organised around three major sites of contest: leadership, land and law.
Ouafa and Thawra is a nomadic collection: well-travelled and restless, but with roots firmly in revolutionary Tunisia, a tumultuous country - where people are sweet/ where even the hypocrisy is sweet. Arturo Desimone travels fearlessly between genres, too, with sketches deepening the reading experience and a postscript essay on Tunisia before and after the 'Arab Spring' adding context to the poems (and offering the controversial but sound claim that the Arab Spring was catalysed by the events of 2003 in Iraq). Desimone is wholly original: his poems simultaneously draw on a breathtaking, freewheeling sense of linguistic innovation, and on a timeless well of imagery and mythology.' - Jacob Silkstone, managing editor of Asymptote journal, co-founder of The Missing Slate
Modern-day Namibian history has largely been shaped by three major eras: German colonial rule, South African apartheid occupation, and the Liberation Struggle. It was, however, not only military conquest that laid the cornerstone for the colony, but also how the colony was imagined, the dream of this colony. As a tool of discursive worldmaking, literature has played a major role in providing a framework in which to dream Namibia, first from outside its borders, and then from within. In Fictioning Namibia as a Space of Desire, Renzo Baas employs Henri Lefebvres city-countryside dialectic and reworks it in order to uncover how fictional texts played an integral part in the violent acquisition of a foreign territory. Through the production of myths around whiteness, German and South African authors designed a literary space in which control, destruction, and the dehumanisation of African peoples are understood as a natural order, one that is dictated by history and its linear continuation. These European texts are offset by Namibias first novel by an African, offering a counter-narrative to the colonial invention that was (German) South West Africa.
Namibian beer is celebrated as an inextricable part of Namibian nationalism, both within domestic borders and across global markets. But for decades on end, the same brew was not available to the black population as a consequence of colonial politics. This book aims to explain how a European style beer has been transformed from an icon of white settlers into a symbol of the independent Namibian nation. The unusual focus on beer offers valuable insight into the role of companies in identity formation and thus highlights an understudied aspect of Namibian history, namely business-state relations.
Urbanization in Africa also means rapid technological change. At the turn of the 21st century, mobile telephony appeared in urban Africa. Ten years later, it covered large parts of rural Africa and thanks to the smartphone became the main access to the internet. This development is part of technological transformations in digitalization that are supposed to bridge the urban and the rural and will make their borders blurred. They do so through the creation of economic opportunities, the flow of information and by influencing peoples definition of self, belonging and citizenship. These changes are met with huge optimism and the message of Information and Communications Technologies for Development (ICT4D) for Africa has been one of glory and revolution. Practice, however, reveals other sides. Increasingly, academic publications show that we are facing a new form of digital divide in which Africa is (again) at the margins. These technological transformations influence the relation between urban and rural Africa, and between Africa and the World, and hence the field of African Studies both in its objects as well as in its forms of knowledge production and in the formulation of the problems we should study. In this lecture, Mirjam de Bruijn reflects on two decades of research experience in West and Central Africa and discusses how, for her, the field has changed. The author was forced to decolonize her thinking even further, and to enter into co-creation in knowledge production. How can these lessons be translated into a form of critical knowledge production and how does the study of technological change inform the redefinition of African Studies for the 21st century?
Nhakanomics: Harvesting Knowledge and Value for Re-generation Through Social Innovation is a radical departure from the commonly held belief that neo-liberal economics from the US and the West is universal, and is the only solution to underdevelopment and poverty throughout the world. Instead, the book teases out and theorises the intellectually rutted terrain of development studies, and neo-liberal economics from a decolonial Pan-Africanist perspective. Following a path of social innovation, with perspectives drawn from social anthropology, economics, and business and management studies Nhakanomics is a unique socio-economic approach applicable in the Global South and in Southern Africa in particular. The study argues that the process and substance of nhakanomics with its pre-emphasis on the relational South provides a robust and holistic approach to social innovation and social transformation grounded in relational networks and meshworks. The central idea is a call to re-GENE-rate society, through local Grounding and Origination, and tapping into local-global Emergent Foundations via a newly global Emancipatory Navigation, while ultimately culminating in global-local transformative Effects in four recursive cycles of re-GENE-rating C(K)umusha, Culture, Communication, and Capital after re-Constituting Africa-the 5Cs. With a novel and radical approach the book is an interrogation of neo-liberal economics in the Global South. As such, this book is remarkably handy to students and practitioners in the fields of economics, development studies, political science, science and technology studies, business management, sociology, transformation studies, and development related non-Governmental Organisations working with grassroots communities.
Food Security in Africa's Secondary Cities: No : The Oshakati-Ongwediva-Ondangwa Corridor, Namibia
(2019)
This is the first research report to examine the nature and drivers of food insecurity in the northern Namibian towns of Oshakati, Ongwediva, and Ondangwa. As well as forming part of a new body of research on secondary urbanization and food security in Africa, the report makes systematic comparisons between the food security situation in this urban corridor and the much larger capital city of Windhoek. A major characteristic of urbanization in Namibia is the perpetuation of rural-urban linkages through informal rural-to-urban food remittances. This survey found that 55% of households in the three towns receive food from relatives in rural areas. Urban households also farm in nearby rural areas and incorporate that agricultural produce into their diets. The survey showed that over 90% of households in the three towns patronize supermarkets, which is a figure far higher than for any other food source. Overall, food security is better in Namibia's northern towns than in Windhoek, where levels of food insecurity are particularly high. However, just because the food insecurity situation is less critical in the north, the majority of households in the urban corridor are not food secure. Like Windhoek, these towns also have considerable income and food security inequality, with households in the informal settlements at greatest risk of chronic food insecurity.
