Impilo Yengqondo Yabantwana: Yintoni enokuyenza uMongameli-onyuliweyo uBiden

UMongameli-Onyuliweyo Biden wase-United States usandula ukubhengeza iqela lakhe le-COVID-19, elinye lenziwe ngoogqirha, izazinzulu, kunye neengcali zempilo yoluntu; I-United States kutsha nje idlule kwizigidi ezili-10 zamatyala, ke ukuguqula ubhubhane ngokucacileyo yinto ephambili.

Ukuguqula iziphumo zempilo yengqondo zalo bhubhane, kunye nokubonelela ngokufikelela kwiinkonzo zempilo yengqondo ukwenza oko, kuyimfuneko ngokunjalo-ngakumbi kubantwana, abo impilo yabo iye yehla kunye neyabazali babo (uPatrick, 2020).

Yintoni eyenza ukuba ukuvalelwa yedwa kwe-COVID-19 kutshabalalise ikakhulu abantwana kukuba kulindeleke ukuba bahlupheke kwiziphumo zobhubhane (njengokuzihlukanisa emzimbeni, imizabalazo yabantu abadala yempilo yengqondo, ukungabikho kwemisebenzi yabantu abadala, kunye nokuphathwa gadalala kwabantwana), rhoqo ngaphandle kokufikelela kwabo kwesiqhelo. Iinkonzo zempilo yengqondo, Oko kukuthi, izikolo zabo. Oku kuyinyani ngakumbi kubantwana abaphuma kumakhaya anengeniso esezantsi abangenayo i-inshurensi yabucala kunye / okanye ingeniso yokuhlawula ipokotho ngeenkonzo zempilo yengqondo (IGolberstein, iWen, neMiller, 2020).

Ngaphakathi e-United States, i-COVID-19 yonyuse ukungalingani kwaye yonyusa imfuno yethu yokhuseleko lokwenyani lukarhulumente njengoko abantu abadala kwizigidi zeentsapho befumana intswela-ngqesho ngesiquphe (ethi, kunye nokusilela kokufumana ukutya kwabantwana esikolweni, kungakhokelela ukungabikho kokutya ekhaya) kunye nokupheliswa komnatha we-inshurensi yezempilo engasebenziyo (Ahmed, Ahmed, Pissarides, & Stiglitz, 2020; Coven & Gupta, 2020; van Dorn, Cooney, & Sabin, 2020).

Ewe, ukunqabiseka kokutya e-US ngexesha le-COVID-19 kuye kwanda ngokunjalo. Ekupheleni kuka-Epreli 2020, i-35% yamakhaya anabantwana abangaphantsi kweminyaka eli-18 ubudala axele ukungakhuseleki kokutya, ukonyuka okothusayo ukusukela nge-14.7% kwi-2018, ngakumbi kuba ukungoneli kwesondlo ebuntwaneni nasebusheni kungakhokelela kulibaziseko lophuhliso lwexesha elide (Bauer, 2020 ). Olu phuhliso lulihlazo belunokuthintelwa ngomnatha woburhulumente ongcono, ofana nalowo unikezela ngeniso esisiseko kubo bonke kunye / okanye isibonelelo kwiintsapho ezinabantwana.

Amalungu anemivuzo ephantsi, aMnyama, kunye / okanye e-Latinx (asele ekho amathuba okuba abe neemeko zempilo ezingapheliyo) asemngciphekweni omkhulu wokusweleka ngexesha lenkathazo ye-COVID-19, enikwe aba bantu badala basaqeshekileyo. sebenza kwimisebenzi ephambili engaphambili edla ngokubonelela ngemivuzo ephantsi kwaye ifuna ukuba abasebenzi basebenzisane ngokwasemzimbeni nabanye, njengokuhamba kukawonke-wonke, ukhathalelo lwempilo, iinkonzo zokugcina, kunye nevenkile yokuthengisa-imisebenzi ekwayinto enganiki abasebenzi i-inshurensi yezempilo eyoneleyo, izixhobo ezaneleyo zokhuselo emsebenzini (Coven & Gupta, 2020; van Dorn, Cooney, & Sabin, 2020).

Ke ukuze wenze umanyano olugqibeleleyo ukukhuthaza intlalontle ngokubanzi kunye nobulungisa kwezentlalo kubo bonke abemi, uMongameli-u-Elect Biden angafuna ukuthathela ingqalelo ukutyikitya i-Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) kwakamsinya emva kokuthatha i-ofisi, ngakumbi ukuba Ixesha lokubonelela abemi bethu ngokhetho lukarhulumente kukhathalelo lwempilo luya kuthabatha ixesha elide. Ithini iCCR, ubuza?

I-CRC luxwebhu lwamazwe-jikelele oluchaza amalungelo abantwana, amalungelo abandakanya ilungelo lokungacalucalulwa, ilungelo lokwenza izigqibo malunga nabo lijongwe kwezona zilungileyo, ilungelo lokufumana ukhathalelo lwempilo oluphezulu kunye nelungelo imfundo ekumgangatho ophezulu ephuhlisa iitalente zabo, amandla abo kunye nobuntu babo ngokupheleleyo (UNICEF, 2018).

Amazwe atyikitya i-CRC ayavuma ukukhusela la malungelo kwaye ayavuma ukwenza oko ngokuvavanya iinkqubo zawo zemfundo, iinkqubo zezempilo, iinkqubo zomthetho, kunye neenkonzo zentlalo-kunye nenkxaso-mali yezi nkonzo. Onke amazwe ayinxalenye yeZizwe eziManyeneyo avumile kwaye aqinisekisa iCRC ngaphandle kwelinye — oko kukuthi, iUnited States.

Ngokusilela ukusayina iCRC, urhulumente waseUnited States akaphumeleli ukuqinisekisa ngenkxaso mali eyoneleyo yokukhusela amalungelo abantwana. Kwaye ngokusilela ukutyikitya i-CRC, urhulumente wase-United States naye uyasilela ekuqinisekiseni abantwana bethu ngemfundo ekumgangatho ophezulu ekhulisa iitalente zomntwana ngamnye, amandla akhe, ukusebenza kwengqondo, kunye nokuphila kakuhle ngokwasemoyeni.

Ewe, ngokungaphumeleli ukusayina i-CRC, urhulumente wase-United States akaphumeleli ukuqinisekisa abantwana, ulutsha, kunye neentsapho zabo ukhathalelo lwempilo olwamkelwa ngamanye amazwe, ilungelo elibalulekileyo nelibonakalayo ngexesha leengxaki ezinje ngobhubhane we-COVID-19.

Mongameli-u-Elect Biden, nceda uthathele ingqalelo ukusayina i-CRC ASAP.
