A Critical Examination of Women's Economic Independence

This paper delves into the critical examination of women's economic independence, underscoring its significance in promoting gender equality and enhancing societal economic health. The rationale for this examination stems from the persisting gender disparities in economic spheres globally, despite considerable progress in recent decades. Economic independence is pivotal for women's empowerment, offering them autonomy in decision-making processes and facilitating their contribution to economic development. The methodology encompasses approach that enables a nuanced understanding of the multifaceted barriers to and enablers for women's economic independence. Key findings reveal that while educational attainment and workforce participation have increased for women, significant obstacles remain. These include the gender wage gap, socio-cultural norms, and inadequate legal protections, which collectively hinder women's economic advancement. The conclusion emphasizes that enhancing women's economic independence is not only a matter of gender equality but also a crucial component of economic sustainability. It argues for a concerted effort from governments, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector to implement comprehensive strategies that address both the economic and cultural dimensions of women's independence.

Women's Economic Empowerment and Inheritance Rights across Major Global Religions: A Comparative Exploration

Women make up more than the total population of the world. These women were neglected in all societies. The history of this woman's acquisition of wealth is a history of extreme brutality. In different religions of the world women's share of inheritance is provided differently. In certain scenarios, men may receive a larger share, while in others; women may be entitled to more. However, in essence, there is no inherent inequality. Allah has created both men and women, and He is omniscient and all-wise. He has ordained what is beneficial for each. A comparative discussion of how the inheritance of women is provided in the major scriptures of the world is attempted in the discussion article; and the confusions created by the so-called women progressives about the inheritance of women in Islam have been adequately answered.

Gender Differences in Opinions about Market Solutions and Government Interventions: The Case Of Uruguayan Economists

This article explores the differences in views between men and women Uruguayan economists regarding their opinions about market solutions and government interventions. In line with international evidence, the support for more market-oriented statements is lower among women than men. The study examines the role of age, family background, exposure to economic discussions (proxied by postgraduate education, reading of blogs and press, and academic environment), and personality traits (risk aversion, optimism, and preferences for competition) to explain these gender gaps. The results indicate that gender plays a role in shaping pro-market opinions. The gender differences remain significant after controlling for explanatory variables, though the magnitudes are mild. The findings indicate that achieving gender balance by including women in public debates and decision-making positions would improve the diversity of perspectives in economics. HIGHLIGHTS In Uruguay, women economists are less pro-market than their men colleagues. Personal traits, notably competitiveness, contribute to this gender gap. Including women in decision making improves diversity and quality of public policies.

Research on the Influence of Social Media on Womens Consumption

Shi Qingqi was one of the famous economists who widely promoted the "women's economy" concept, also referred to as the "SHE economy." According to such a concept, more women are starting to identify their clients from a woman's perspective, thus developing more products. This can also be explained through related theories like the demand theory. According to the demand theory, the higher the price of products, the less the products will be demanded in the market, demonstrating a downward-sloping demand curve. This article proposes the interaction between social media and women's consumption through the retrieval and inspection of related literature. This paper argues that the development of the womens economy has led to an improvement in womens status, altered the needs between men and women, altered the way women shop, affected women's consumption, and has its limitations in the long run.

Hidden female figures in the organisation for European economic co-operation, and the reconstruction of Europe after WWII

The study of female economists during the post-World War II reconstruction of Western Europe is as yet unresearched. A small but substantial collection of publications discusses the role of male economists within the European institutions created after World War II. However, none of them analyzes contributions made by female economists. This paper aims to shed some light on female economists who participated in the reconstruction of Europe through their work in the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation (OEEC), which was created by the Marshall Plan following the Conference of Sixteen (Conference for European Economic Co-operation). Firstly, we searched for names of female economists who served the institution, hoping that some relevant hidden female figures in the OEEC would resurface. Secondly, through oral history archives and personal documents, we reconstructed the biographies of three female economists who contributed, in different ways, to the activities of the OEEC: Miriam Camp, Florence Kirlin, and Vera Cao Pinna. By comparing these three figures, in terms of their educational and social backgrounds, their narrative, as well as their connections with international networks of experts, we defined their similarities and differences in order to identify the main characteristics that allowed them, even if at different levels and with different roles, to participate in international diplomacy and technical support deployed in the construction and diffusion of the idea of the peaceful, united, and prosperous Europe which we live in today. Tracing back the presence of women in OEEC, this article aims to bring some light on: what did being a woman economist entails in the after WWII in the newborn European institutions and what did it mean in terms of the kind of work and experience a woman could be doing within the process of professionalisation of the economics discipline in the international organisations. We are interested in describing the experiences and self-perceptions of women economists working in male dominated international institutions. Female international thinkers and experts, well known in their own time, were largely overlooked and neglected by scholars, politics, and international history later.

Reducing Gender Gaps in Pakistan's Labor Market: Policy Options for Enhancing Women's Economic Empowerment

This policy paper delves into the persistent gender disparities within Pakistan's labour sector, highlighting the challenges faced by women in accessing and maintaining decent employment opportunities. Despite some progress, women encounter lower labour force participation, unequal wages, and limited access to social benefits. The concentration of women in low-paying, informal sectors hampers their economic advancement and social mobility. This paper critically assesses the gender imbalance in Pakistan's labour market and proposes actionable policy alternatives to enhance women's economic empowerment. By prioritizing legislative measures, decision-makers can address the root causes of these disparities, fostering gender equality and supporting women's participation in the workforce. The implementation of effective policies is vital to not only empower women but also contribute to Pakistan's overall economic growth and development.

Women's Economic Mobility and Small for Gestational Age Rates: The Effect of Paternal Early-Life Socioeconomic Position.

To determine whether paternal early-life socioeconomic position (defined by neighborhood income) modifies the association of maternal economic mobility and infant small for gestational age (weight for gestational age < 10th percentile, SGA) rates. Stratified and multilevel binomial regression analyses were executed on the Illinois transgenerational dataset of parents (born 1956-1976) and their infants (born 1989-1991) with appended U.S. census income information. Only Chicago-born women with an early-life residence in impoverished or affluent neighborhoods were studied. The incidence of impoverished-born women's upward economic mobility among births (n = 3777) with early-life low socioeconomic position (SEP) fathers was less than that of those (n = 576) with early-life high SEP fathers: 56% vs 71%, respectively, p < 0.01. The incidence of affluent-born women's downward economic mobility among births (n = 2370) with early-life low SEP fathers exceeded that of those (n = 3822) with early-life high SEP fathers: 79% vs 66%, respectively, p < 0.01. The adjusted RR of infant SGA for maternal upward (compared to lifelong impoverishment) economic mobility among fathers with early-life low and high SEP equaled 0.68 (0.56, 0.82) and 0.81 (0.47, 1.42), respectively. The adjusted RR of infant SGA for maternal downward (compared to lifelong residence in affluent neighborhoods) economic mobility among fathers with early-life low and high SEP were 1.37 (0.91, 2.05) and 1.17 (0.86, 1.59), respectively. Paternal early-life SEP is associated with maternal economic mobility (both upward and downward); however, it does not modify the relationship between maternal economic mobility and infant SGA rates.

Analyzing Women's Economic Empowerment in the Agriculture Sector in Hill Areas and its Impacts

The subject of women's economic empowerment in the agriculture sector in hill areas has received considerable attention in recent years, as policymakers and practitioners seek to address the challenges faced by these communities. In particular, the impact of women's economic empowerment on male outmigration in these areas has become an important issue, as male outmigration results in the loss of labor, skills, and resources that are crucial for sustainable development. This study aims to examine the existing research on women's economic empowerment in the agriculture sector in hill areas, with a focus on its impact on male outmigration and existing strategies for sustainable livelihoods. To sum up, the literature review establishes that women's economic empowerment has a positive impact on reducing male outmigration, improving livelihoods, and contributing to sustainable development in rural hill areas. Women's involvement in agriculture, especially in self-help groups, can provide them with access to credit and training, leading to increased agricultural productivity and income. This, in turn, can reduce poverty and dependence on male household members, ultimately curbing male outmigration. The review emphasizes the importance of promoting women's economic empowerment in the agriculture sector to ensure long-term sustainable development and improve livelihoods. Policymakers, stakeholders, and communities must prioritize this issue to foster sustainable development in hill areas.

The Positive Influence of British Industrial Revolution on Women's Life

The British Industrial Revolution is one of the most important revolutionary events that profoundly changed the environment for human survival and development in the western economic and social history. In 1884, Arnold Toynbee delivered a lecture on the British Industrial Revolution, and pointed out that it was not only a technological revolution, but also a far-reaching social revolution. This view was generally accepted by the academic community and the society as a classic understanding of the phenomenon of Industrial Revolution. Since the reform and opening up, Chinese scholars have conducted in-depth studies on major issues in British history, such as the British revolution and the Industrial Revolution.[1] Since the publication of Mary Wollstonecraft's the defense of women's rights, British women have had their own voice. At the same time, they deconstructed the social discourse centered on the aristocratic language at that time by creating a family social circle, entering new factory labor, and directly or indirectly participating in political activities. It can be said that they play an important role in deconstruction. This paper focuses on the great role played by British women during the industrial revolution. And it is divided into two parts, namely, the impact of the British Industrial Revolution on women's economy and spirit, and the impact of the British Industrial Revolution on women's marital status.
