Media Framing Women’s Participation in Decision-Making in East Africa: A Case of South Sudan Women in Decision Making

This research was to assess the media framing of women in decision-making. It is common that when the relationship between women, politics, and media is explored, researchers typically concentrate on the political elite. The finding indicated that the media covering women’s participation in parliament/executive proceedings is low compared to their men counterparts’ coverage while depending on proposal, development, and passage of legislation into law and other decisions that affect their lives from the ones on the street doing their private activities to the general issues with perspective examples from Sudan and Kenya. Given the difficulties faced by women in media portray women trying to enter decision-making life differently, the assumption that women can do better than men in decision making including in politics is perfectly plausible.

Unequal burden of equal risk factors of diabetes between different gender\xa0in India: a cross-sectional analysis

Many studies have supported that the burden of diabetes is shared differently by different genders due to various factors associated with it. This study aims at capturing whether women and men with a similar background, dietary and smoking habits, and biological conditions (blood pressure and body mass index (BMI)) are being affected equally or differently by diabetes. We have used cross-sectional data of NFHS-4 by covering the age group 15–49 years. Association between socio-economic background, dietary habits, biological conditions, and diabetes has been estimated using two separate multivariate logistic regression models. Results show that the overall prevalence of diabetes is higher among men (2.63%) than women (2.35%). Whereas, women belonging to urban areas (3.53%), Christian category (3.92%), richer section (3.22%), women with no schooling (2.51%), those reported never to consume pulses (2.66%) and green vegetables (2.40%) and daily consuming eggs (3.66%) and chicken or meat (3.54%) are more affected by diabetes than their men counterparts. Whereas men residing in rural areas (2.30%), belonging to the general category (3.12%), SCs (2.37%) and STs (1.72%) are more affected than their women counterparts. Results have also shown a higher prevalence of diabetes among obese men (11.46%), non-vegetarian (2.71%) and those who watch television almost every day (3.03%) as compared to their women counterparts. Regression analyses show that the richest, hypertensive, and obese women and men are significantly more likely to suffer from diabetes. This study concludes that women and men with similar socio-economic status, biological conditions, dietary and smoking habits are being affected differently by diabetes. Thus, there is a need for gender dimension in research to understand and validate the differences in the needed interventions for diabetes control in India.

Determinants of GCC Women Entrepreneurs Performance: Are they Different from Men?

The study aims to understand the impact of different factors on the performance of GCC entrepreneurs and to what extent this effect is different between women and men. To accomplish the determined aim, the research used quantitative research method. Survey strategy has been implanted to collect the data via structured questionnaire technique. The questionnaire was distributed online for 750 GCC male and female entrepreneurs. 262 responses have been received. The data was analysed using descriptive analysis while ANOVA was implemented to assess the differences between men and women in their reflections towards determinants of their performance. The investigation found that females consider education, training and business networks and access to finance are significant factors impact their performance. GCC women’s performance is affected by these determinants more than men counterparts. Both men and women entrepreneurs believe that access to finance as an important determinant for their performance without significant difference between the two genders. This research provides a proper guidance for the policy makers to give more attention to education and training for women entrepreneurs. More focus on entrepreneurship education may foster the women entrepreneurship. Training is also a significant determinant of their performance than men. This may pay the attention to the role of supporting institutions, even formal or informal; to design proper training programmes for women entrepreneurs. Supporting institutions needs also to play more roles towards enforcing the networks for women entrepreneurs.

The Impact of Place of Origin on International and Domestic Graduates’ Mobility in China

This article addresses the cumulative effect of graduate migration and opportunities for career development. Using data from an online survey of 756 master’s-level graduates educated in China and the UK, it examines their geographical mobility patterns and reveals significant differences between Chinese students who graduated from domestic universities and those who were educated abroad. Spatial autocorrelation analysis shows that international returnees, who usually had more privileged family backgrounds, clustered in China’s highly developed core cities of the Bohai Economic Rim and Yangtze River Delta regions, such as Beijing and Shanghai, while domestic graduates tended to work and live in less affluent medium-sized cities around these regions. Women international graduates were more mobile than their men counterparts. Our results provide new evidence that draws attention to migration’s role in graduate career development opportunities and highlights inherent economic discrimination within China, which is perpetuated by the national residency permit system — Hukou. The case of Chinese graduates shows that the mobility patterns of international and domestic graduates are influenced by and contribute to growing regional inequalities for career development in China.

An Analysis of Gender Bias in Plastic Surgery Resident Assessment.

Previous studies have shown men and women attending physicians rate or provide operating room (OR) autonomy differently to men and women residents, with men attendings providing higher ratings and more OR autonomy to men residents. Particularly with the advent of competency-based training in plastic surgery, differential advancement of trainees influenced by gender bias could have detrimental effects on resident advancement and time to graduation. We determined if plastic surgery residents are assessed differently according to gender. Three institutions' Operative Entrustability Assessment (OEA) data were abstracted from inception through November 2018 from MileMarker, a web-based program that stores trainee operative skill assessments of CPT-coded procedures. Ratings are based on a 5-point scale. Linear regression with postgraduate year adjustment was applied to all completed OEAs to compare men and women attendings' assessments of men and women residents. We included 8377 OEAs completed on 64 unique residents (25% women) by 51 unique attendings (29% women): men attendings completed 83% (n = 6972; 5859 assessments of men residents; 1113 of women residents) and women attendings completed 17% (n = 1405; 1025 assessments of men residents; 380 of women residents). Adjusted analysis showed men attendings rated women residents lower than men residents (P < .001); scores by women attendings demonstrated no significant difference (P = .067). Our dataset including 4.5 years of data from 3 training programs showed men attendings scored women plastic surgery residents lower than their men counterparts.

Women leaders in Cardiology. Contemporary profile of the WHO European region.

AimsWomen’s participation is steadily growing in medical schools, but they are still not sufficiently represented in cardiology, particularly in cardiology leadership positions. We present the contemporary distribution of women leaders in cardiology departments in the World Health Organization European region.Methods and resultsBetween August and December 2020, we applied purposive sampling to collect data and analyse gender distribution of heads of cardiology department in university/third level hospitals in 23 countries: Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, North Macedonia, Morocco, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, and the UK. Age, cardiology subspecialty, and number of scientific publications were recorded for a subgroup of cardiology leaders for whom data were available. A total of 849 cardiology departments were analysed. Women leaders were only 30% (254/849) and were younger than their men counterpart (♀ 52.2 ± 7.7 years old vs. ♂ 58.1 ± 7.6 years old, P = 0.00001). Most women leaders were non-interventional experts (♀ 82% vs. ♂ 46%, P < 0.00001) and had significantly fewer scientific publications than men {♀ 16 [interquartile range (IQR) 2–41] publications vs. ♂ 44 (IQR 9–175) publications, P < 0.00001}.ConclusionAcross the World Health Organization European region, there is a significant gender disparity in cardiology leadership positions. Fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace is a priority to achieve the full potential and leverage the full talents of both women and men.

FACTORS INFLUENCING THE HIV PREVENTION EFFORTS AMONG WOMEN IN PEKANBARU

HIV prevalence among women increases every year and it becomes a major health problem among women. Housewives are at risk to be infected with HIV from their husbands. Women and girls are on twice to be infected with HIV than their men counterparts. The seriousness of HIV/AIDS stems from the risks it brings. It does not affect the individuals infected, but also seriously influences the HIV prevention efforts. Indonesia have been going well with emphasis on curative efforts of HIV prevention and control programs but need more to be optimal. This study analyzed the influence of factors HIV prevention efforts among women in Pekanbaru. Methods: The study involved 194 women age 20-50 and currently married and living together with their husbands. Descriptive analysis was used to determine the demographic characteristics. A quantitative descriptive with multivariate analysis using logistic regression was conducted amongst women&nbsp; in both distric between Tenayan Raya and Rumbai&nbsp; Pesisir Pekanbaru, Riau Province in 2018. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select 194 women.&nbsp; Data&nbsp; were collected through structured quessionaire. The data were entered into Epi Info and analyzed by using SPSS for windows. Results: Out of the 194 women findings indicated factors influenced the prevention efforts by women using a significance of p-value &lt; 0.005 were: working (p= 0.000, OR= 3.781, 95% CI= 1.859-7.688); knowledge (p= 0.000, OR= 0.295, 95% CI= 0.154-0.564); attitude (p value= 0.027, OR= 0.161, 95% CI= 0.32-0.809). It can be concluded that factors that influence HIV prevention efforts by women are working, knowledge and attitudes. Employment was found to be the most significant factor in this study. This finding implies that women who do not work need special attention and are encouraged to conduct HIV prevention efforts through education and personal approaches.

Do Socioeconomic and Risk Factors Play Different Roles Among Men and Women in Case of Diabetes in India? A Cross-Sectional Analysis

Background: Many studies have supported the fact that the burden of diabetes is shared differently by different genders due to different factors associated with it. This study aims at capturing whether women and men with a similar background, dietary & smoking habits, and biological conditions (blood pressure and body mass index (BMI)) are being affected equally or differently by diabetes. Data & methods: We have used cross-sectional data of NFHS-4 by covering the age group 15-49 years. Association between socioeconomic background, dietary habits, biological conditions, and diabetes has been estimated by using two separate multivariate logistic regression models. Result: Results show that the overall prevalence of diabetes is higher among men (2.63%) than women (2.35%). Whereas, women belonging to urban areas (3.53%), Christian category (3.92%), richer section (3.22%), women with no schooling (2.51%), those reported to never consume pulses (2.66%) and green vegetables (2.40%) and daily consuming eggs (3.66%) and chicken or meat (3.54%) are more affected by diabetes than their men counterparts. Whereas men residing in rural areas (2.30%), belonging to the General category (3.12%), SCs (2.37%) and STs (1.72%) are more affected than their women counterparts. Results have also shown a higher prevalence of diabetes among obese men (11.46%), non-vegetarian (2.71%) and who watch television almost every day (3.03%) as compared to their women counterparts. Regression analyses show that richest, hypertensive, and obese women and men are significantly more likely to suffer from diabetes. Conclusion: We can conclude from our findings that women and men with similar socioeconomic status and dietary pattern are being affected differently by diabetes. Thus, there is a need of gender dimension in research to understand and validate the differences to have the needed interventions for diabetes control in India.

My choices are better than yours! Gender differences in narcissistic start-up entrepreneurs

PurposeThe paper explores the role of narcissism on entrepreneurs' decisions in terms of organizational choices, discussing gender differences. The aim relies in the influence that entrepreneurs' personality, capabilities and cognitive orientation have in the creation and management of start-ups.Design/methodology/approachAnalyzing an Italian sample of 207 entrepreneurs and using Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and generalized linear model methods, the hypotheses were tested to understand whether and how narcissism affects Research and development (R&amp;D) expenditure, patent ownership and the presence of a specialized team in organizations led by women and men entrepreneurs.FindingsDifferences in the management and organizational choices of narcissistic women entrepreneurs compared to their men counterparts emerged. First, results show that women entrepreneurs are less narcissistic than men. Second, gender is shown to moderate the effect of narcissism on the choice of having a qualified team in a start-up. Third, narcissistic women entrepreneurs were found to engage less in risk-taking activities, such as R&amp;D expenditure, and to patent their ideas more than their male counterparts.Originality/valueThe study expands the existing literature by applying a gendered lens to entrepreneurs' narcissism to investigate whether they behave and manage their start-ups differently.

Less money, less children, and less prestige: Differences between male and female academic librarians

Academic librarianship is a heavily feminized profession, with women making up between 72 and 74% of the workforce based on statistics from Canada and the US (American Library Association, 2012; Canadian Association of University Teachers, 2017). As a result, gendered issues such as salary discrepancies and a glass ceiling phenomenon might be expected to be magnified in such an environment. The authors analyzed linked data from a 2018 census of academic librarians to uncover and examine the experience of motherhood and librarianship, specifically by looking at potential connections between gender, salary, number of dependents, and academic rank. Results demonstrate that women earn, on average, $10,000CDN/year less, are less likely to become a parent as their career progresses, and are overly represented at the lower ranks (e.g., Assistant Librarian) than their men counterparts. Drawing upon the literature on motherhood, salary differences, and career progression in academia, we demonstrate that issues long standing in the profession have yet to be resolved.

Gendered bureaucracies: Women mayors and the size and composition of local governments

AbstractWhile women are underrepresented in politics, recent improvements in women's representation in legislative and executive bodies have spurred academic interest in the effects of electing women on a wide array of outcomes. Effects on bureaucracies, however, have received less attention. Do women mayors reform local bureaucracies differently than their men counterparts? We take advantage of rich administrative data from Chile to explore the effects of having a woman mayor on the size and gender composition of municipal bureaucracies. Using a regression discontinuity design in close electoral races, we find that women mayors reduce the size of local bureaucracies while simultaneously increasing the share of women public employees. Our findings thus show that women mayors' approach to bureaucratic reform once in office differs from that of their men counterparts, and contribute to existing research on the consequences of electing women.

Application of non-HDL cholesterol for cardiovascular risk prediction in apparently healthy men and women: Results from the ATTICA prospective epidemiological study

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Other. Main funding source(s): The ATTICA study is supported by research grants from the Hellenic Cardiology Society [HCS2002] and the Hellenic Atherosclerosis Society [HAS2003]. Background/Introduction: Consistent evidence exists for a causal association between blood cholesterol and cardiovascular disease (CVD) yet alternative lipid markers are still discussed. To this issue, non-High Density Lipoprotein (non-HDL) cholesterol offers a simple way to analyze the total amount of pro-atherogenic lipoproteins containing apolipoprotein B100. Purpose: The aim of the present work was to evaluate the 10-year first fatal/non fatal CVD incidence related to non-HDL cholesterol on the basis of existing thresholds suggested by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) in a sample with prevalent CVD. Methods: ATTICA study was conducted during 2001-2012 including n = 1,514 men and n = 1,528 women (aged &amp;gt;18 years old) from the greater Athens area, Greece. Baseline serum blood lipids profile was measured. Non-HDL cholesterol was evaluated according to the formula "total cholesterol minus HDL cholesterol" and the following categories were used: &amp;lt;100 mg/dL; 100 to &amp;lt;145 mg/dL; 145 to &amp;lt;185 mg/dL; 185 to &amp;lt;220 mg/dL, and ≥220 mg/dL. Ten-year follow up was performed (2011-12) in 2,020 participants (n = 317 cases, man-to-woman CVD incidence ratio = 1.66). Results: About 42% of women had non-HDL values within the range of 100 to &amp;lt;145 mg/dL while in case of men about one third of them had non-HDL values within the range of 100 to 185mg/dL. Ranking from low to high non-HDL cholesterol CVD incidence was 5.3%, 13.3%, 18.0%, 20.0% and 28.9%. The man-to-woman age-standardized CVD incidence ratio was 1.50, 1.93, 1.37, 1.24, 1.64, respectively; indicating a steep rise in CVD incidence rate in favor of men when non-HDL cholesterol levels reached the 2nd category levels (i.e. 100 to &amp;lt;145 mg/dL) while women seemed to present CVD incidence rates closer to their men counterparts in case of higher non-HDL cholesterol values (i.e. 145 to &amp;lt;220 mg/dL). Multi-adjusted Cox regression analysis revealed that 30mg/dL increase in non-HDL cholesterol values corresponded to 34% higher risk to develop CVD within the decade (Hazard ratio (HR)=1.34, 95% Confidence Interval (95%CI) (1.00, 1.81)). The association remained significant only in case of men (p for gender interaction = 0.01); HR = 1.45, 95%CI (1.09, 1.95). Additionally, when the categorical non-HDL variable was used, its independent aggravating effect on CVD outcome reached the level of significance only for non-HDL cholesterol values &amp;gt;220mg/dL; HR5th vs. 1st category = 1.95, 95%CI (1.10, 4.30). Sex-based stratified analysis revealed significance only in men and particularly HR5th vs. 1st category = 3.14, 95%CI (1.26, 5.10). In case of women the aggravating effect was retained yet without reaching the level of significance. Conclusion: Even if non-HDL cholesterol concentrations in blood are strongly associated with long-term risk of atherosclerotic CVD, its use in daily clinical practice is challenged. These outcomes could be useful for physician–patient communication about primary prevention strategies.

Insight into the Organizational Culture and Challenges Faced by Women STEM Leaders in Africa

Compared to their men counterparts, women do not rapidly climb up the leadership ladder due to a glass ceiling obstacle. This study aims to explore the inhibiting factors demotivating Africa women’s leadership pursuit in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). A qualitative approach was adopted using online open-ended questions to seek narratives from African women leaders on their roles and experiences of a STEM career. Data were collected using a non-probability, purposive sample of African women leaders in STEM in African research institutes and universities. Forty-two women in leadership positions in 12 African countries participated in the study, which was content analyzed, seeking patterns and themes to explore the narratives. A common thread exists in the tone and life experiences of the African women leaders in STEM. Scholarship, supportive organizational structure, commitment, hard work, and tenacity were all experienced as enablers of the career path process and their attained positions. The education level contributed to a strong leadership position. Women experience less acceptance than males in STEM leadership as the organizational culture still devalues women in leadership positions in several African countries. The study’s contribution, limitations, recommendations, and managerial implications are discussed, with suggestions for further research are made.

Assessing the Performance and Participation among Young Male and Female Entrepreneurs in Agribusiness: A Case Study of the Rice and Maize Subsectors in Cameroon

The role played by youth in agriculture cannot be overemphasized, while agribusinesses are important generators of employment and income worldwide. Improving the sustainability of food value chains can benefit millions of rural poor people living in developing countries, especially young women. Despite policies and programs aimed at encouraging agricultural entrepreneurs, they are still facing challenges such as high-cost agrochemicals, limited access to credit, price volatility, etc. which seriously affect their capacity to remain in the sector. This study was undertaken to assess the performance and participation of young male and female entrepreneurs. This study made use of cross-section data from a survey conducted on 1019 young agricultural entrepreneurs in Cameroon. The data were analyzed using gross margin, student t-test, and logistic regression. Our study contributes to the literature by showing that young women agribusiness entrepreneurs are as competitive as their male counterparts and that the opportunities for young women in agriculture are good. Incentives such as single-digit interest rates and no collateral security should be directed to young women to receive more credit for purchasing agrochemicals and improved varieties of seed. Furthermore, a price control policy should be set up throughout the year to enable young women earn as their young men counterparts to enable them remain in production and marketing activities.

Exploring the gender gap in the Spanish Wikipedia: Differences in engagement and editing practices.

Wikipedia’s significant gender bias is widely acknowledged. In this paper we analyze the Spanish Wikipedia with the aim of estimating the percentage of women editors and measuring their engagement and editing practices with respect to their men counterparts. To identify the gender of Wikipedia registered users, we analyzed both the information contained in their user profile and the information provided by users about themselves on their personal user pages. Using our own coding procedure, it is possible to identify a greater number of women than by relying only on the gender reported in their user profile. Combining both methods, our results show that the percentage of women is small, a meagre 11.6% of all analyzed editors, though there is still a significant percentage of users whose gender cannot be determined by either method. Men outnumber women in all Wikipedia namespaces in a ratio that is always equal to or greater than 3:1. This fact can be partially explained by the lesser persistence of women editors, who tend to leave Wikipedia much more quickly. There is, however, a small group of veteran women editors who, in some cases, surpass men editors in terms of their editing practices and participation in different Wikipedia namespaces.

Sex differences in mental disorder symptoms among Canadian police officers: the mediating role of social support, stress, and sleep quality

ABSTRACT Police officers, and specifically women officers, report elevated mental disorder rates relative to the general population, which may be impacted by sleep quality, policing-related stress, and social support. In a sample of Canadian police officers, sex was indirectly related to post traumatic stress, depression, generalized anxiety, panic, and social anxiety symptoms through its relationships with social support and sleep quality, but not through policing-related stress. Sex was indirectly related to problematic alcohol use symptoms through sleep quality only. Differences in clinical symptom severity between both sexes may be partially accounted for by the worsened sleep quality reported by women officers relative to their men counterparts. Conversely, general social support appears to be a protective, albeit insufficient, factor influencing the mental health of women police officers. Male and women police officers did not differ in their reports of policing-related stress. The current results underscore the importance of incorporating strategies to improve sleep practices into police workplace environments. Additionally, findings that general social support and policing-related stress do not help explain the trend of increased clinical severity reported by women police suggest that more research is still needed to identify and delineate other contributing factors.

Women Employee’s Work and Life -Striking the Right Balance

Work life balance is the current issues with everyone. This topic is attracting many now a day. Everyone has to accept that profession is a part in our lives; it is not possible to lead life without any earning. Interest in work and family matters has arisen on account of changes in the way in which work has been defined and it has been fuelled by mechanization and modernization of production processes, industrialization and the entry of increasing numbers of women in to the world of paid work. In a Developing Country like India the issue of work life balance is a matter of concern. These days you cannot find a field where women have no entrance. Recently women have much more reach in the in every field of Business. They are proving to be the best in their respective fields. Previously she used to be a more house wife and less professional. But after the reforms in 1991 the scenario has changed as the India economy is liberalized. Because of necessity and the desire to augment income, both the spouses started working. This has raised curtains to new problems to the working women community. Today's career women are continually challenged by the demands of full-time work and when the day is done at the office, they carry more of the responsibilities and commitments at home. So a great need has aroused to balance both. Initially this is the problem of working women only. But now a days this is an issue which has been taken seriously even by the companies. The reason behind this is that women have proved equal to that of the men counterpart. So the human resource professionals are seeking options to positively impact the bottom line of their companies, improving employee morale, retain employees with valuable company knowledge, and keep pace with workplace trends. So, this paper concentrates on few issues like how does women balance her work with life at home? How is she managing all these responsibilities? What type of support she is getting from the family members and from the employer? Like this we can have many questions to ask. Let us see how the IT and ITES women employees are handling the issue of Work Life Balance.

EXAMINING STATUS OF WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS; COMPARISM WITH MEN COUNTERPARTS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA

This paper discussed the status of women entrepreneurs in Nigeria, It discovered and addressed the different challenges, obstacles and regrets of Nigerian Women entrepreneurs despite all their efforts and interests in business. Most of the literature has been mainly theoretical qualitative. This paper contributes to addressing the gap and comparing the Nigerian Women entrepreneurs with their men counterparts. The exploratory factor indicated that Nigerian Women entrepreneurs are highly marginalized compared to the men counterparts which includes the aspects of tradition and cultural belief even when they struggle as much as their men counterparts, if not more. The paper suggested that Nigerian Women need to be supported, improved and motivated if not more than the men counterparts, the motivations can be targeted to promote sustainable entrepreneurship in addition to complementary support such as improving business management skills and competencies for sustainable women entrepreneurs.

Gender Differences in Attitudes Toward Aging and Its Longitudinal Impact on Psychological Health

Individuals with negative attitudes towards own aging (ATOA) experience worse psychological health in later life. At the intersection of sexism and ageism, women are likely to have greater concerns about growing older and hold more negative views of aging than their men counterparts. However, the impact of gender on the relationship between ATOA and psychological health is unclear. Moving forward, the current study aims to examine 1) gender differences in longitudinal changes in ATOA and 2) whether gender moderates the association of ATOA with cognitive function and depressive symptoms. Using three waves (2008, 2012, and 2016) from the Health and Retirement Study, a total of 6,675 adults aged 50+ (60% female) were analyzed. A series of multilevel growth curve analyses were performed to investigate the 8-year changes in ATOA and within- and between-person effects of ATOA on cognitive function and depressive symptoms. The models controlled for demographic, socio-economic, and physical health characteristics. Women had more negative ATOA at baseline compared to men, but not in rates of change. When levels of ATOA were more negative, both cognitive performance and depressive symptoms were poorer over time between individuals as well as within-person. We found that the detrimental effects of negative ATOA on depressive symptoms were stronger for women, but there were no significant gender differences in relation to cognitive functioning. Our findings demonstrated that women view aging more unfavorably than men, and the effects of endorsing negative ATOA are more pronounced on women’s mental health.

Mental Health Among Employed Family Caregivers: A Gender-Based Analysis on the Role of Workplace Support

Compared to men, women undertake more family caregiving responsibilities, and thus take more toll in health and wellbeing when they are employed. The current study examined the gender difference in mental health among employed family caregivers, focusing on the role of workplace support in balancing work and caregiving roles. Guided by the social role theory and the moderated-mediation model of employment adjustment and mental health, we analyzed a nationally representative data from the 2012 Canada General Social Survey - Caregiving and Care Receiving with a sample of 2,426 participants selected. Moderated-mediation analysis based on the SPSS macro PROCESS 3.3 was used. Women employed family caregivers are more likely to undertake higher intensive caregiving, make more employment adjustment, and further report worse mental health status than their men counterparts. Gender difference was apparent in regards to the workplace support. For women, the moderating effect of workplace support is significant only when there are at least 5 different types of workplace support available at their workplaces, while for men, the moderating effect is significant when there are at least 2-3 different types of workplace support available. Women employed family caregivers experience worse mental health when employment adjustment is needed for their care responsibility. Findings have implications for providing workplace support for family caregivers given that women benefit less from workplace support compared to men. Further study is needed to explore the impact of various types of workplace support for women employed family caregivers, and to provide tailored support to them.
