    "'Work at Any Price' Not Working 09/11/2009 Work does not provide a guaranteed route out of poverty, according to research published this week by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. A study of the experiences and perceptions of work among residents living in six deprived areas in the UK highlights the fact that many are trapped in a cycle of 'poor work/no work' that fails to lift them out of poverty. A team from Sheffield Hallam University found that poverty-level pay can force those in employment to work excessive hours, harming the quality of their family life. For those out of work, this can act as a disincentive to leave benefits, it says. Many of those interviewed saw the value in working, in terms of increased self-esteem and reducing isolation, but gained little financially. Other issues that the research highlights include the tensions between work and parenting, with many low paid workers unable to pay for childcare and their jobs lacking the flexibility to fulfill parenting responsibilities. The research is part of a wider three year study called 'Living Through Change in Challenging Neighbourhoods'. The wider project examines the extent to which the place where you live makes a difference to your experience of poverty, and is following the lives of 180 people over three years from 2008 to 2010."

Stanford Social Innovation Review : Articles : Research Rules (December 1, 2005) - 0 views

  • Research Rules
  • In a preliminary online survey, we gathered simple demographic information like age and sex, while also posing deeper questions about interests and preferences. (Surveys can also be conducted via phone or snail mail.) We asked how often people visited the Web site, what they thought about Dr. Love’s work in the breast cancer movement, and how they liked to be contacted. We also asked questions about giving patterns, such as “Do you support other breast cancer organizations?” Picking the right – or wrong – questions is a sensitive business and central to a survey’s success, and we avoided specifics about giving amounts so as not to be too intrusive. (See sidebar for tips on survey research.)We supplemented these surveys with informal focus groups – small numbers of carefully selected individuals who share their opinions in a moderated roundtable discussion. Our focus groups were asked about their thoughts and feelings about Dr. Love, her foundation, and breast cancer organizations in general. (See sidebar at far right for tips on focus groups.)

  • The Reality Underneath the Buzz of Partnerships
  • In a recent study of how foundations define and approach effectiveness, the Urban Institute surveyed 1,192 grantmakers. Sixty-nine percent reported they actively encouraged collaboration among grantees. Forty-two percent of these said they sometimes required partnering as a condition for funding.

  • Whitepaper: Sustainable Social Media Infrastructure
  • A new type of non-profit organization is emerging, one that has never been possible in an offline world. These new organizations are creating permanent, sustainable public knowledge and communications infrastructure that is designed for public benefit.
  • The foundation world, largely absent from these success stories, should seize the opportunity to create new funding models for the next generation of long-term, public interest technology projects.

  • Mozilla Key TakeawaysOnline, a small amount of resources can serve millions of people. Web-based organizations can become self-sustaining in a way that has never been possible offline. When creating a website or building software, costs do not rise linearly with the number of people served. Successful social tech projects can quickly transition from being grant recipients to granting organizations. Non-profits have competitive advantages in the marketplace: high levels of trust and credibility and volunteer communities can multiply the reach of the paid staff. Open-source software can create a better product than the proprietary competition.
  • Non-profit projects online can build vibrant collaborative communities of volunteers and evangelists that would have been extremely difficult and very expensive to organize offline.
  • Tiny amounts of money can let smart projects reach enormous audiences. Avoiding some types of revenue can help protect the credibility and therefore success of certain non-profit tech projects. Revenue requirements relative to people served may be so small that perpetual grant support is the best long-term strategy.
