[kictanet] [Bpoteam] Day 7 of 10- BPO Discussions, Youth and Gender Issues

[Muthoni Masinde]

Good afternoon everyone,

Like other issues that have been discussed (Day 1 to day 6), my take is that
we must have things right from the beginning.  A BPO-specific outfit (like
the BPO society) should have the mandate to enforce (or at least lobby the
law enforcers) labour laws for this young industry.  This way, issues like
the one that appeared on the Standard Newspaper sometime back
(http://www.eastandard.net/sciencetech/InsidePage.php?id=1144013244
<http://www.eastandard.net/sciencetech/InsidePage.php?id=1144013244&ci> &ci)
will be unheard of.  Furthermore, some clients especially from the US are
concerned about how the vendor he/she is giving work to treats employees.

 

On a light note; could we begin re-thinking this whole issue of
interpretation 'gender issues' to mean 'women issues'; men are 'threatened
too!

 

Muthoni

Dear Listers,

As per the schedule, I am pleased to hand-over the rest of the moderation to
Nyaki who will introduce the remaining themes starting with the "Youth and
Gender" theme today. 

Nyaki's CV is too long to fit in one email but its suffice to say that she
belongs to this breed of Researchers that wants to bridge the gap between
Academia and Socio-economic realities of out times.  The rest of her story
can be googled, but remember to use her official "handle" - Dr. Catherine
Adeya.

Over to you Nyaki.  Plse tell us about today's theme.

walu.
