  • "Teen Mom" Tv Shows & Stigma Around Young Parents
    "teen mom" tv shows & stigma around young parents Creators of reality shows such as Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant say they are intended to prevent young pregnancy and parenting, but their greatest effect may be to increase stigma on pregnant and parenting youth. MTV’s hit reality shows 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom were produced with an agenda of preventing teen pregnancy by displaying a carefully constructed image of early-age parenting. Analyses of this media have found that the structure and content of the series minimize social inequities that often underlie young parenting. Some health promotion groups have partnered with such shows to try to provide health education to young viewers. Service Co-parenting Providers WHAT WE DID Grandmothers (26) (9) This analysis was part of a larger study of the experiences of young parents in Western Canada.

  • The Impact of Sexual Harassment in the Restaurant Industry
    Take Us Off the Menu The Impact of Sexual Harassment in the Restaurant Industry MAY 2018 BY The Restaurant Opportunities Centers United Executive Summary here are six million tipped workers across the nation, two thirds of whom are women and forty four percent workers of color.1 Under federal law these workers can be paid as little as $2.13 an hour, with the remainder of their income derived solely from tips. Dependence Ton tips as a base wage has ked to a power imbalance with significant negative ramifica- tions. Women in the leisure and hospitality industries, where the majority of tipped workers are concentrated, account for 14 percent of all sexual harassment claims, the most of any industry, and double the rate of the general workforce.2 Sexual harassment is endemic to the restaurant in- dustry with the vast majority of workers reporting sexual harassment. However, tipped workers who earn a guaranteed wage report half the rate of sexual harassment as tipped workers in states that follow the $2.13 subminimum wage.3 One out of three Americans enters the workforce through the restau- rant industry, and one out of two works in the industry at some point in their life.4 This means that between one third and one half of all Americans learn acceptable workplace behavior in the restaurant in- dustry. To understand the effect this has on workers lived experiences, we examined the surveys of 233 former restaurant workers collect- ed with Forward Together for the Glass Floor data set and combined these results with over a dozen interviews of former and current restaurant worker to deepen our understanding of the impact these early experiences have on individuals as they progress through their careers.
