An Empirical Analysis Of Life Satisfaction In Adolescent Development In High- And Middle-Income Countries, Amirreza Kazemikhasragh

Journal of International Women's Studies

The income discrepancies in high- and middle-income countries increases stress, limitations in access to social resources, and aggravates health situations.

This study uses empirical data from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) to study school-age children health behaviour symptoms in high- and middle-income countries in the years 2002, 2006, 2010 and 2014.

Tobacco Farming, Addiction, Promotion Of Gender Equality, Well-Being And Monopoly Of The Indian Market, Ranjit Singha, Yogesh Kanna S Apr 2022

Tobacco Farming, Addiction, Promotion Of Gender Equality, Well-Being And Monopoly Of The Indian Market, Ranjit Singha, Yogesh Kanna S

Journal of International Women's Studies

Women's land rights are still suppressed in India because men hold most of the land, and men decide what crops to grow. Tobacco use and farming are both detriments to one’s health. It causes cancer, and cancer treatment is unavailable in the majority of India's remote areas. On the other hand, tobacco is grown in remote regions of India, and cancer hospitals are concentrated in major cities. There are eight states in India's north-eastern region, but only one cancer treatment facility in Guwahati, Assam. There is a need for new cancer hospitals in the north-eastern part of the country, where …

Diverging Women On The Mommy Track To The Career Track, Sunaina Arora, Neeraj Kumari Apr 2022

Diverging Women On The Mommy Track To The Career Track, Sunaina Arora, Neeraj Kumari

Journal of International Women's Studies

The review paper discusses the Mommy Track phenomenon and interventions required to bring women back on the career track. It collates the literature to understand the Mommy Track phenomenon from organisations and economic perspectives. The Mommy Track is a path which is taken by high performing women to take a career break in order to rear children. The idea is to switch back to career tracks when childcare duties require less time. Gender parity initiatives have tried to bridge male and female labour gaps to bring back women to career tracks. Changes in government interventions, organisation policies, and individual attitudes …

Social Inclusion, Equality, Leadership, And Diversity To Attain Sustainable Development Goal 5 In The Indian Banking Industry, Surjit Singha, Sivarethinamohan R. Apr 2022

Social Inclusion, Equality, Leadership, And Diversity To Attain Sustainable Development Goal 5 In The Indian Banking Industry, Surjit Singha, Sivarethinamohan R.

Journal of International Women's Studies

The UN SDG 5 aspires to end all kinds of bigotry and abuse of women, although gender bias still exists in India. Most bank employees are men; few women hold senior positions in India's banking industry because of the country's early history of limiting chances for women to enter the profession. The solution to this is to hire women in leadership positions from international locations if the banking sector opens. The development of the banking industry in India relies on the best talent. The banking sector must open its position for multinational expatriates to maintain diversity and bring forth the …

Are Unpaid Women Willing To Work In The Labour Market? Evidence From India, Krishna M. Apr 2022

Are Unpaid Women Willing To Work In The Labour Market? Evidence From India, Krishna M.

Journal of International Women's Studies

India has set an ambitious target of achieving a US$5 trillion economy by 2025. However, a steady increase, perhaps even more rapid in recent years, in women’s participation in unpaid domestic work poses a grave threat to India’s economic development. Significantly, the extent of women’s participation in unpaid domestic work ballooned in India, recording a quantum leap from 200 million in 2004–05 to 287 million in 2017–18. The main aim of this paper is to examine the role of socio-economic factors in explaining the willingness of unpaid women to undertake work in the labour market, using data from unit-level records …

Entrepreneurial Competencies In Graduate Students From Mexico: A Gender Perspective, Eduardo R. Diaz Apr 2022

Entrepreneurial Competencies In Graduate Students From Mexico: A Gender Perspective, Eduardo R. Diaz

Journal of International Women's Studies

Mexico faces a gender gap in opportunity entrepreneurship. Part of the problem is the masculine approach to business education in graduate programs. This research uses data from 173 female and male graduate students to compare self-efficacy levels in entrepreneurship and leadership. The data were collected under a cross-sectional, survey research design. Findings suggest that there were no statistically significant differences between females and males in five entrepreneurship and two leadership dimensions. Statistically significant differences were identified in one entrepreneurship dimension: initiating relationships with investors. A key takeaway is that females undervalue their ability to secure funds for entrepreneurial purposes.

Competencias De Estudiantes Universitarios Griegos Para Una Práctica Sostenible De La Igualdad De Género, Ioanna Kitta, M. Cristina Cardona-Moltó

Journal of International Women's Studies

La educación para el desarrollo sostenible de la igualdad de género ha sido conceptualizada como un vehículo para la adquisición de competencias y el mantenimiento sostenible de la igualdad y equidad en el mundo. Sin embargo, a pesar del compromiso de los gobiernos e instituciones de educación superior a facilitar la formación necesaria, los egresados universitarios salen del sistema sin las competencias necesarias para un ejercicio y desarrollo profesional sensible al género. El propósito del presente estudio fue explorar el nivel de competencia en cuestiones de género examinando la eficacia percibida para una práctica sostenible de la igualdad de maestros …

Non-Sexist Language In Vacancy Titles: A Proposal For Drafting And Translation In International Organisations, María López Medel Apr 2022

Non-Sexist Language In Vacancy Titles: A Proposal For Drafting And Translation In International Organisations, María López Medel

Journal of International Women's Studies

Current and past research confirms the existence of a gender gap that prevents women from earning the same salaries as men, having equal access to typically male sectors, and climbing the professional ladder to the highest positions of management. The separation of the sexes often starts at home or at school, with girls being led to choices of gender-stereotypical careers or domestic life. This needs to be tackled from various angles, and one tool for this is non-sexist language. Sexist language makes women invisible and secondary by referring to them in the masculine and has been proven to negatively affect …

Does Entrepreneur Gender Matter For Entrepreneurial Motivation: Answers From Micro Small And Medium Enterprises (Msmes) Of Assam, Ankita Sarmah, Bedabrat Saikia, Dhananjay Tripathi

Journal of International Women's Studies

With regard to SGD-5, this study attempts to examine the association between entrepreneur’s gender and their entrepreneurial motivation and to discover if entrepreneur’s gender influences the motivation. The study further tries to see if entrepreneurial motivation varies on the grounds of entrepreneur’s gender. Based on a qualitative approach, the study uses interview data of 320 MSME entrepreneurs from Assam, India. Two hypotheses—there is no association between entrepreneur’s gender and the entrepreneurial motivation (H01) and there is no significant difference between the mean rank of male and female entrepreneurs with respect to their motivational factors (H02)—are postulated and tested using Chi-Square …

Women And Entrepreneurship In Nigeria: What Role Does Social Inclusion Play?, Ezebuilo R. Ukwueze Apr 2022

Women And Entrepreneurship In Nigeria: What Role Does Social Inclusion Play?, Ezebuilo R. Ukwueze

Journal of International Women's Studies

Women’s participation in business enterprises has attracted much attention from policy makers, researchers, NGOs, politicians, the government sector, and international agencies. This is because it has been identified that women’s involvement in income generation tends to boost family income, support children’s education, improve health of family members, provide food, build assets for the family, and contribute to general development of economies. However, women have not been performing these roles due to constraints placed consciously or inadvertently on women by society, limiting them from engaging in income-earning ventures, especially in developing countries like Nigeria. Even those who wish to venture into …

Industrious, Thrifty And Ambitious: Jacksonville's African American Businesspeople During The Jim Crow Era, David H. Jackson, Jr. Apr 2022

Industrious, Thrifty And Ambitious: Jacksonville's African American Businesspeople During The Jim Crow Era, David H. Jackson, Jr.

Florida Historical Quarterly

While modern-day Florida conjures images of Disney World and sunny beaches, the black experience in the Sunshine State from around 1880 to 1930 was not so bright. Race relations in Florida were equal to, if not harsher than, other Southern states. Consequently, understanding race relations in Florida must be contextualized in reference to the mores, traditions, and values that governed the South as a whole and wreaked terror against black people in large measure.2

For This Is An Enchanted Land Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings And The Florida Environment, Florence M. Turcotte Apr 2022

For This Is An Enchanted Land Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings And The Florida Environment, Florence M. Turcotte

Florida Historical Quarterly

American author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings described her adopted home in north-central Florida as "an enchanted land." Her love for her surroundings was evident in rich descriptions of the seasons, the forces of nature, and the lives of the people around her. Immediately upon arrival in 1928 at Cross Creek, a tiny hamlet about twenty miles southeast of Gainesville, Rawlings immersed herself in the local hunting and fishing culture. She came to understand and appreciate the lifestyle of the people of the nearby "Big Scrub" country, who depended on the land for their survival. Along with this understanding, Rawlings came to …

Pragmatism, Seminoles, And Science: Opposition To Progressive Everglades Drainage, Chris Wilhelm Apr 2022

Pragmatism, Seminoles, And Science: Opposition To Progressive Everglades Drainage, Chris Wilhelm

Florida Historical Quarterly

Floridians have always had complex, contentious, and dynamic relationships with the Everglades. Most Floridians in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century saw the Everglades as a wasteland and supported draining useless swamp in order to facilitate economic progress. The publication of Marjory Stoneman Douglas' The Everglades: River of Grass (1947) and the advent of modern environmentalism encouraged Floridians to reconsider the identity and value of the Everglades, seeing it as a 'river of grass' that needed protection and restoration. These two views, however, only scratch the surface of the multiplicity of ways Floridians have perceived and interacted with …

American Gibraltar: Key West During World War Ii, Abraham H. Gibson Apr 2022

American Gibraltar: Key West During World War Ii, Abraham H. Gibson

Florida Historical Quarterly

As visitors and locals alike will attest, there is no other place in America quite like Key West. Separated from the Florida peninsula by more than a hundred miles, the island city lies closer to Havana than Miami. The archipelago to which it belongs not only boasts the only tropical climate in the lower forty-eight, but also features flora and fauna found nowhere else on Earth. Even the ground underfoot is unique. A mere hundred thousand years ago, Key West was not only underwater, but alive. Its entire surface teemed with millions of tiny coral which slowly built the island's …
