Issues Of Gender Inequality Research Articles

Women in Empowered India; Challenges and Prospects

The expanding economy greatly benefits from the contributions of women in India. Women make up about half of our population. Over the past ten years, women’s literacy has increased at a rate that is 3% higher than that of men. Consequently, the number of illiterate women has decreased from 200.7 million in 1991 to 190 million in 2001. Nonetheless, the gender gap in schooling remains significant at 21.7%.There are several reasons for this, including restricted access to schools and inadequate restroom and drinking water facilities. In addition, as agriculture becomes more and more feminized, girls are burdened with caring for younger siblings, gathering water and fuel for cooking, and maintaining the home, all of which impede their ability to learn and grow. Women’s economic independence or self-reliance encourages women’s empowerment; nevertheless, chances for women are restricted by factors such as poverty, ill health, and discrimination, gender inequity and other issues, which eventually cause obstacles to women’s empowerment. Given that women are still discriminated against on many fronts, women’s empowerment is crucial. Several ministries and departments have created and implemented a variety of programs and initiatives to empower women. Attempts have been also made to go beyond empowerment and acknowledge women as agents of sustainable socio-economic growth and transformation. This paper aims to examine contemporary concerns and challenges facing women, as well as strategies and tactics for achieving women’s empowerment.

The Issue of Gender Inequality in Sports Through a Survey of Different Sports Programs in America

This study focuses on a topic and argument at the heart of society: the issue of gender inequality. Focusing primarily on the sports industry, it explores how gender inequality is manifested in various aspects of various sports programs in the United States. The paper provides an in-depth exploration of the unequal treatment that men and women receive in sports by collecting the salaries of men and women in each program and analyzing the data in comparison. Finally, the result shows that there is definitely a payment gap and a reporting gap between male and female athletics among all programs including basketball, soccer, golf etc. The emergence of such gender inequality issues affects the sports climate and athletes’ social perceptions, as well as exacerbating the severity of social issues such as gender inequality. The reason of that is the instinctive physical differences between man and woman. The recommendation is to challenge this traditional norm quickly to ensure a better and purer competitive atmosphere.

Inequality in Women’s Consumption in Daily Life

In contemporary societies, the pervasive issue of gender inequality continues to pose significant challenges, with women frequently encountering systemic discrimination and biases that affect numerous facets of their lives. This research specifically centers on the phenomenon known as the “Pink Tax,” which pertains to the unequal pricing of products targeted at women for their daily needs. By delving into the repercussions of this inequality, examining the primary areas where it manifests, and analyzing the contrasting spending patterns between men and women that contribute to this discriminatory practice, the study aims to shed light on its profound impact. Moreover, this research is not limited to merely highlighting the problem; it also endeavors to present practical and actionable suggestions to address and rectify this pressing issue. By reflecting on potential solutions and offering innovative ideas, the study aspires to contribute to the ongoing efforts in dismantling gender-based price disparities and fostering a more equitable marketplace.

Irish apprenticeships in financial services: negotiating gender and navigating social justice

PurposeSet within the context of International Financial Services (IFS), this research aims to considers the demographic profile of IFS apprenticeship candidates in relation to gender equality and social mobility in Ireland. This study also offers valuable insights as to the gendered nature of these “new” apprenticeships and examine whether these programmes provide opportunities for social mobility.Design/methodology/approachImplementing a quantitative approach, underpinned by a positivist stance, this study analyses Irish national apprenticeship data relating to IFS programmes (n = 1118). Non-parametric tests were applied in the analysis of the gender dimension, while to analyse social mobility, the socio-economic status and spatial profile of candidates were compiled and analysed using the Pobal HP Deprivation Index (SA).FindingsThe findings revealed more women are undertaking non-traditional apprenticeship programmes as compared with traditional craft apprenticeships. Within the IFS context, while female participation was seen to be growing, gender divergence was observed in terms of programme level, with a greater number of men, as compared with women, engaging in higher-level degree apprenticeship programmes. The findings also show that IFS apprentices are primarily from socio-economic areas that are above average. This trend indicates a distinctive candidate who is more aligned with the sectoral profile of IFS than that of traditional apprenticeship programmes. Such findings reveal that the “widening participation” aim of IFS apprenticeships is not yet fully realised with issues of gender inequality and social mobility persistent within the wider IFS sector.Originality/valueThis study provides an important dimension to both academic and practitioner literature concerning apprenticeships. To date, there has been a proliferation of publications concerning the beneficial impact of skills and vocational-led apprenticeships. However, limited attention has been directed to non-traditional apprenticeships and even less still within the setting of IFS. This research initiates the process of addressing that gap within an Irish context. This study also adds to the existing apprenticeship discourse regarding issues of gender and social mobility by examining the gendered nature of IFS apprenticeships and well as assessing whether these apprenticeships aid social mobility.

Analyzing the Structure of Womens Image in Thelma and Louise Based on Feminist Theory

The best movies challenge viewers to think critically about gender roles and other social concerns in addition to providing entertainment. Scotts Thelma & Louise is a perfect example of such a groundbreaking film. This analysis takes a feminist critical perspective to consider the films groundbreaking function in addressing issues of gender inequality, female agency, and barrier-breaking. An examination of the film from a feminist perspective reveals its pervasive impact. The movie Thelma & Louise challenges stereotypical portrayals of women by showing them in a more complex and multifaceted light. By deviating from stereotypical depictions, we may have more meaningful talks about authenticity and womens wide range of experiences. Equally impressive is the films bold examination of gender dynamics. It highlights incidents of harassment, objectification, and contempt that women face and does not shy away from exposing the pervasive sexism and chauvinism that they face. This unrepentant viewpoint demands talks on the critical need for societal change. This study uses a feminist lens to examine the films impact on challenging gender norms, discussing the oppression of women, and fostering dialogues about womens agency and activism.

The DAISY BUCHANAN'S LIBERAL FEMINISM IN THE NOVEL THE GREAT GATSBY BY F. SCOTT FITZGERALD

Literary works no longer aim to entertain, but more than that, a literary work can be intended as a study of writing. The purpose of this writing is to conduct a study on the issue of feminism or gender inequality in a patriarchal society. The title” Daisy Buchanan's Liberal Feminism in The Novel the Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald” this research wants to show the domination and discrimination of women's position and women's rights in society. Analyzed by using the theory of Feminism, it was found that there was the oppression of Daisy Buchanan by Tom, her husband. Daisy Buchanan is described as a woman with an indifferent character who gives the image of a modern woman, however, what she displays is not like the reality in her life. Living in a patriarchal society made Daisy unable to escape the values of patriarchal culture, namely the tendency of male superiority over women. Tom Buchanan is the main character who is described as the main subject of bullying, while the main character Gatsby in his role is a man who has a true love for Daisy. The complicated and long story in this novel is a representation of patriarchal domination in society

New insights into the rural development economies under the moderating role of gender equality and mediating role of rural women development

In Pakistan, like other developing countries, rural women's participation has emerged as a profound construct, influencing the country's economic structure. In recent years, its vital reproductive role has opened new ways to overcome the issues of gender inequality, unequal financial distribution, and inadequate training and development. Hence, to bridge a gap in the research, the current study aims to determine the mediating and moderating role of rural women's development and gender equality for economic development in the rural areas of Pakistan. Using 249 samples, the analysis is conducted through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling. The study's results indicate that skills development and technical training significantly influence rural women's development, whereas access to finance and social networking also ensures economic development in rural areas. With this, the results also confirmed positive mediation and moderation of rural women's development and gender equality. Therefore, in line with these findings, the current study suggests that women's roles in different dimensions of sustainable development are less reflected in the target areas. Policy recommendations focus on practical, legislative, legal, and administrative actions to address these barriers. As such, the study guides policymakers, financial institutions, and governmental organizations to empower rural women by embracing gender equality and economic development.

The association between couples' education and gender gap in unpaid care work in India

AbstractThis cross‐sectional study utilizes data from the 2019 India Time‐Use Survey to examine the relationship between education and the gender gap in unpaid care work among married couples in India. Results from the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression demonstrate a paradox where more educated or equally educated wives tend to spend more time on unpaid care work compared to their husbands. Women from marginalized backgrounds face a heightened burden of unpaid uare work, while employment status emerges as an important factor that reduces the gender divide in unpaid care work. The Karlson, Holm, and Breen (KHB) decomposition analysis reveals that employment and other personal and household factors account for 22.86% and 43.15% of the total effect on time spent on unpaid care work for wives who have the same as or higher level of education than their husbands, respectively. These findings bring to light the continued issue of gender inequality in India and emphasize the need for reforms in care work and the labor market.

African-Centered Psychological Perspective on Happiness

Happiness scholarship has gained prominence in a number of disciplines over the last few decades, including economics and psychology. In South Africa, we have observed an uptick in happiness studies, but also that these studies are mostly using quantitative methodologies. What is missing in nearly all these studies are conceptualizations of happiness from African-centered decolonial psychological perspectives. The main objective in this article is to approach happiness from an African-centered decolonial psychological perspective. The article draws on data from a qualitative study which investigated happiness and gender equality amongst South African women. Convenience sampling was employed to recruit participants. Eleven qualitative individual interviews were conducted with key informants and three focus groups with women who shared their everyday lived experiences of happiness. We draw only from the individual interviews. The interviews were subjected to an adapted, theoretically driven thematic analysis informed by African-centered decolonial psychological interpretations. Whilst we identified four key themes, we report and discuss only two of these, namely: happiness as inter-connectedness and happiness as maintaining a balanced life. The perspective we adopt in this article offers an opportunity to unpack how happiness is inter-connectedness and how happiness is a balanced life. In enmeshing decolonial African-centered perspectives and African feminist psychology, it was possible to not only produce a more situated analysis of women’s happiness but also to center issues of gender and gender inequality within African-centered psychological thought. Potential directions for further contextual and transnational qualitative studies on happiness that incorporate African-centered decolonial perspectives are offered.

Womenomics and Japan’s Domestic Politics: The Transformation of Women Roles in the Shinzo Abe Administration

The issue of gender inequality is one of the big problems that Japan is facing nowadays. In the annual survey of the Women Economic Forum, Japan often occupies the lowest position in the indicators of women's participation in politics. This issue became one of Shinzo Abe's priorities when he was elected Prime Minister in 2012. Through a major policy during his administration known as Abenomics, Shinzo Abe introduced Womenomics as a gender-based policy strategy to increase women's participation in the workforce, including in politics. Womenomics was developed into several policies that are expected to provide a sense of security for women to be involved in politics so that women's participation rates were expected to increase. This article examines the implementation of Womenomics on women's participation in Japanese domestic politics from 2013 to 2020. It employs the qualitative approach and uses liberal feminism theory as its analytical framework. The data used in this study were secondarily obtained from various sources of books and publications by the Japanese government.

Gender Gap in Access to Education in Kazakhstan

Gender inequality in education is a problem in both developed and developing countries. This social phenomenon has many negative consequences (income inequality, decline in human capital, reduction in economic growth, etc.). The purpose of this study is to identify the gender inequality in education through the analysis of gender gaps in access to education in Kazakhstan. The study was conducted within the concept of liberal feminism to assess the participation of women in education. Issues of gender inequality in education were studied through the gender parity index, with a focus on the analysis of the enrollment of women and men in education and their satisfaction with the availability of educational services. The main research methods were economic and statistical analysis and comparison. The source base for the study was statistical data from the Bureau of National Statistics of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the period from 2000 to 2022. The limitation of the study was the lack of data for a certain period or by level of education. The study revealed that in Kazakhstan there is a gender inequality in the field of postgraduate education, where the number of students is dominated by women. During the period under review, gender inequality decreased at the master’s level and increased at the doctoral level. At the same time, during the pandemic, gender inequality in education at the master’s level increased, while at the doctoral level it decreased. The main reason for the emergence of gender inequality in the field of postgraduate education is the low attractiveness of employment in the field of education and science on the part of men due to the low level of income in this area. The results obtained indicate the need to increase the prestige of teaching and research activities among the population, including by raising wages and providing decent social security for specialists in this field.

GENDER ASPECTS OF STUDYING KAZAKH LITERATURE

This article considered that the image of a woman in Kazakh literature was interconnected with historical changes in society and reflected the peculiarities of Kazakh culture. From the historical and social point of view, the main prerequisites for raising the image of a woman to a new level in modern Kazakhstan are shown. At the same time, the expression of gender stereotypes in Kazakh literature is analyzed. This work also examines the factors such as the historical situation, national worldview, culture, and traditions, which have influenced the establishment and spread of centuries-long stereotypes of the Kazakh woman as beautiful, family core, submissive, subservient, victimized, etc. "Bakytsiz Jamal", "Kamar Sulu", "Akbilek" and other voluminous works describing the suffering lives of women who are victims of traditions and Kazakh mentality are analyzed. In this regard, we conclude that the works published at the beginning of the 20th century are full of gender stereotypes that harm women's rights to a certain extent. We can easily find issues of misogyny and gender inequality, which are often discussed currently, in the literature of that time. The research also discusses the stories by female writers and the writing characteristics of women writers in modern Kazakh literature.

Cultural persistence or change? Gender differences in educational expectations of first and second-generation immigrants in Italy

This paper analyzes whether cultural heritage determines gender differences in educational expectations to go to university of first- and second-generation immigrants in Italy. The analysis relies on the “Integration of Second-Generation Survey” (INTEG2GEN) carried out by the Italian Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) in 2015. INTEG2GEN is a national representative survey of students living in Italy and attending lower and upper secondary school. Our findings suggest that parents’ cultural background plays a non-negligible role for their daughters’ and sons’ expectations. Nevertheless, there is a gender difference in the way they react to it. Males are more sensitive to cultural orientations towards education. Females are more responsive to gender inequality issues and tend to conform to gender roles deemed appropriate according to their cultural tradition. Nevertheless, females seem more open to changes and opportunities they face in the new country.

Differences in Chinese Women's Understanding of Feminism: The Influence of Socioeconomic Status, Family and Education (Take Henan Province as an Example)

Although gender equality is a fundamental policy in China. However, gender inequality is still prevalent in daily life and work where women always suffer from gender discrimination. With the rapid development of the Internet in recent years, the issue of gender inequality has received more attention and has been more widely discussed. In order to safeguard the equal rights of Chinese women, feminists have consciously made their voices heard through the Internet and other channels. However, due to the fact that Chinese women's individual life circumstances are clearly differentiated and differently influenced by their own socio-economic status, family environment and education, it is necessary to understand the extent of Chinese women's recognition of feminism. This study will target women in H province and collect data through online questionnaires and interviews, including socioeconomic status, family background, education level, and understanding of feminism. This article uses a Likert scale for the research, Chi-square test, t-test and multiple regression analysis to analyze the quantitative data to determine the influence of SES, family and education on feminist awareness awakening among women in H region. As the third largest province in China in terms of resident population and the largest province in terms of household registration, the development potential of women in H region is evident to all. This study will systematically investigate H region women in H region understanding of feminism and explore the factors that influence Chinese women to have different levels of recognition of feminism, which can help unite women in their struggle to protect women's common rights. The study will improve our understanding of women's affirmative action and suggest more effective guidelines for women's affirmative action strategies.

Purpose: As one of the world's most populous countries, Indonesia is struggling with the composition of its people, the majority of whom are unemployed productive-age individuals with low education levels. Another issue is the high poverty rate, which is followed by issues of gender inequality. The government cannot solve these social issues on its own. There is a need for community support to solve these problems through sustainable social entrepreneurship activities. Theoretical framework: Studying the factors that affect the intention to engage in social entrepreneurial activities is an important aspect of SE theoretical development (Yu et al., 2021). Thus, the study of what factors influence an individual's Social Entrepreneurial Intention (SEI) is still in its early stages, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia, where the SE level is much lower than in developed countries. This study integrates the Theory of Planned Behavior with Outcome Expectation to determine the factors that influence the interest of the Z and Millennial generation in becoming social entrepreneurs. The outcome expectation variable was added because previous research has indicated that outcome expectations are crucial when making career decisions (Lent et al., 2002) and that people must believe that social entrepreneurship is an appropriate method to address social problems when compared to other options before deciding to build a social enterprise. Design/methodology/approach: This study applied a quantitative approach with a judgmental sampling technique to a sample of Generation Z and Millennials who have ever participated in social activities but have not yet started their own business. The study gathered 210 respondents, who were then analyzed using the PLS-SEM method with multiple group analysis generation-based comparison. Findings: According to the findings, the Millennial Generation's Attitude Toward Behavior, Subjective Norms, Perceived Behavioral Control and Outcome Expectation, all had a positive impact on Social Entrepreneurial Intention. Meanwhile, Subjective Norms had no effect on Social Entrepreneurial Intention in the Z Generation. Only attitude toward behavior, perceived behavioral control, and outcome expectation have a positive effect on the development of social entrepreneurial intentions. Furthermore, the findings of this study confirm that subjective norms influence attitude toward behavior and Perceived Behavioral Control in both Generation Z and millennials (generation Y) sample. Research, Practical & Social implications: The results of this research can be used by stakeholders to formulate policies and programs that can encourage the creation of social entrepreneurial intentions among Generation Z and Generation Y because they have different needs and motivations for pursuing career aspirations as sociopreneurs. Originality/value: The results of this research contribute to the enrichment of the study of social entrepreneurial intention, which currently attracts many scholars because of the economic and social impact it produces. Moreover, the study was conducted on samples of Generation Z and Generation Y in Indonesia, something that was rarely done in previous research in the Social Entrepreneurial Intention study.

The Meaning of Vocation in the Leadership Journey of Women Pastors: A Narrative Analysis Approach to 20 Women Pastor Figures in Indonesia

This study aims to understand the meaning of vocation in the leadership journey of female pastors by conducting an in-depth analysis of the vocation stories of female pastors in order to provide an understanding of the meaning of vocations as depicted in their leadership journey. This study uses a qualitative type of research with a narrative analysis approach that focuses on analyzing the meaning of vocations to service in leadership carried out by twenty (20) female pastors who serve in various institutions in Indonesia, such as synods, churches, seminaries, Christian universities, Christian schools etc. Data processing used Nvivo software which is very reliable software in such a qualitative research undertaking. Participants emanated from various tribes, ethnicities and from various islands in Indonesia such as Java, Sumatra, East Nusa Tenggara, Bali, Sulawesi, Kalimantan, and Papua. Data collection was through the use of in-depth interviews, surveys, and observations of participants including their families, service partners and followers. The results of the data analysis will hopefully provide a comprehensive process description of the meaning of the vocation in the ministry of the female pastor's leadership which is illustrated in her unique leadership journey. The meaning of the vocation in the female pastor's leadership journey is illustrated in the diversity of vocational motivations that underlie the participants' decisions to enter the seminary. The meaning of the vocation in the female pastor's leadership journey is also illustrated in her leadership journey with the dynamics of issues of gender inequality and sociocultural views prevailing in society.

Analysis of Interest in Becoming Social Entrepreneurs Among the Millennials and Z Generation Using the Theory of Planned Behavior and Outcome Expectation: A Multigroup Analysis Approach

Women’s Rights in Nigeria’s Indigenous Systems: An Analysis of Non-Discrimination and Equality under International Human Rights Law

The Nigerian legal system is diverse in that it recognizes several established legal systems that regulate how Nigerians conduct themselves. These legal frameworks include the civil law that was passed down from the British during and after colonization, pre-colonial customary laws and cultural practices, and religious laws (Christian and Islamic laws). Different kinds of norms and laws have subjected Nigerian women to violations of their rights depending on the woman’s cultural or religious affiliation. Such cultural and/or religious practices are usually in opposition to civil law and the Nigerian constitution, which is a custodian of these rights. Moreover, despite the supremacy of the constitution and expected compliance with international human rights treaties that Nigeria has ratified, the fact is that today there are impediments to the effective protection of women’s rights in Nigeria. For instance, although the Nigerian constitution outlaw’s discrimination on the grounds of gender, customary and religious laws continue to restrict the effective implementation of women’s rights, making it extremely difficult to harmonize domestic legislation with international human rights conventions, and also remove discriminatory measures. This article, thus, examines the issues of gender inequality as the basis for agitation for women’s empowerment and women’s rights while also proposing a re-alignment of domestic legislation in compliance with international human rights conventions and treaties, in order to combat cultural and religious norms that flout human rights considerations for Nigerian women. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to highlight the challenges that may arise when these legal systems clash, and how that affects the protection of women’s rights, particularly in view of international human rights treaties which Nigeria has signed and ratified. The article will therefore propose that women’s rights should be protected by seeking to eradicate cultural and religious practices that are discriminatory. This can be achieved by adopting laws which can be interpreted by domestic courts in line with constitutional requirements protecting the rights of women. It is noteworthy that the Nigerian judiciary has declared certain customs and traditions contrary to natural justice, equity and good conscience. Some of the case laws and judicial pronouncements will also be examined in this paper to enable implementation for the protection of women’s rights. The methodology adopted is desk-top legal research where judgments of courts and legislative enactments will form the basis of the findings of this paper.

Socio-Economic Well-Being of the Population of Kazakhstan: Assessment and Analysis of Gender Differences in Wages

For the Kazakhstani labor market, as well as for all world countries, the issue of gender inequality is relevant. The purpose of this study is to analyze the current level of employment among men and women in the regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan. To achieve the goal of the study, the following tasks were set: to study the structure of employment in the regional aspect in terms of gender; to analyze the gap in the payment of average wages between men and women on the basis of the method of calculation proposed by the International Labor Organization; analyze the types of economic activity by the share of employed men and women and by the size of the average wage; consider the areas of economic activity with the highest wages. In the study and analysis of the factor of gender differences, a theoretical and empirical analysis was used. The analytical information from various sources of both local and international studies was studied. National statistics on demographics, socio-economic development and human development for the country as a whole, international and regional comparative statistics and indicators in the field of gender equality and women’s empowerment were studied. A conclusion is proposed about the existing dependence of the level of average wages of women and men on the type of economic employment in which they are involved. The results of this study will substantiate the current state of employment and wages among men and women in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Promotion of Gender Equality by the Mass Media of Dagestan in the 1960s and its Results

The issue of gender inequality in Russia’s Muslim regions is of great scientific interest and practical significance, and sociologists need to generalize the experience of the previous decades. Such multinational region as Dagestan provides a lot of useful data on the matter in question. This article describes the first attempt of the regional historiography to analyze the activities of Dagestan mass media to promote gender equality in the 1960s, e.g., in secondary schools, universities, socio-political life, culture, and family life. The author analyzed newspaper publications and documents from the Central State Archive of the Republic of Dagestan. The materials provided an objective scientific picture of the social landscape. The author relied on the principles of scientific objectivity and historicism and used comparative-historical, descriptive, and systematic research methods. All mass media obviously experienced some difficulties in covering the gender issues. However, the analysis revealed some positive trends and results in the struggle for gender equality in Dagestan, e.g., in the sanitary culture of urban and rural settlements. Still, this socio-political and socio-cultural issue remained unresolved by the end of the 1960s.
