The Status Of Women Can Be Related When Observing The Economic, Social, And Political Aspects Of A

Numerous systemic barriers are preventing women from entering the political workforce including (but no limited to): family, the brutality of politics, male domination, stereotypes and traditionalism. Family plays probably the most important role in women’s decision-making on whether to enter politics.

For the first part of the mandatory project of follow an issue, I have chosen to follow the topic of the underrepresentation of women in politics. There are several reasons why I decided on this topic, mainly because it interests me and is something which will only enhance my knowledge, but in a different political element. My major at Purdue is political science, so I enjoy furthering my experience and research on any aspect of politics or the involvement in them.

enhance female voters’ identification with the political system – and in turn, their sense of being able to influence the decision-making process, making their participation worthwhile. These effects, however, are not confined only to women: the presence of women in a wide range of political offices can increase the confidence that male citizens have in the political system as well. Consequently, electing greater proportions of women to political positions can deepen democracy and encourage civic engagement in the general population.

The second half of the XX century has given the world a new political phenomenon - a kind of a breakthrough of women in the highest echelons of power. In several countries of Western Europe, Southeast Asia, Latin America, they took power into their own hands. The process flow of women into politics thoroughly shake the stereotype: the policy - for men, family, children - for women. But this stereotype is not broken. Overall, the proportion of women in decision-making in most countries remains low and far below their proportion in the population and labor force. Over the past thirty years the representation of women in public office has substantially increased. Although women have yet to reach parity with their male counterparts, women have

The economic, social and political status of women have direct bearings on the level of fertility in any society. Where women 's roles are exclusively defined in terms of household management and matrimonial duties, as is the case in Ethiopia, they are subject to the expectation that they replenish the race by bearing a large number of children and assume full responsibility for maintaining them almost single handedly. Since women are, by and large, economically dependent on men, the decision to have or not have children rests, primarily in the husband and his relatives. The conscious but unarticulated realization that not all children born survive, serves as an inducement to high fertility performance in order to

The subject of women and their empowerment has always been one of controversy. Even though the United States and many other countries have made great strides in gender equality, men and women are still not equal. Although this problem is beginning to disappear in many countries, it was once much more significant. The United States, a country with one of the world’s smallest gender gaps, used to be one of its worst offenders. Prior to World War 2, women were rarely seen in the workforce with minor exceptions. As a result of the crisis, the men who traditionally held the labor jobs joined the war effort which left the women to support their families and the economy. During The Second World War, women played a key role in keeping the economy afloat and keeping the military supplied. Today, the United States is one of the countries getting closer to gender equality and all of those are reaping the benefits as some of the world’s greatest economies. Despite the progress, some countries such as Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia are still highly gender biased. This is made evident by the catastrophic assault suffered by Afghanistan women on their human rights during more than twenty years of war and the repressive rule of the Taliban . Coincidentally, despite the progress of the past few years, Afghanistan is extremely poor, landlocked, and highly dependent on foreign aid . This is simply a microcosm of the pattern that can be identified around the world. This pattern can be identified

More and more women are given the opportunity to involve in politic. Women politicians are increasing around the world. They represent the women and ask for the rights and protections for the women in the society. When more women join the politic, more organizations will be set up to protect the rights of women such as providing jobs, healthcare and food to some of the women that do not enjoy those rights. Besides that, women also get involve in debating new laws for the society. This has increase the democracy principle of many of the democratic country that concerned about the equality before the law. Women politician can voice out the women’s perspective on certain new law made by

1. The results of modernization and western cultural values on the social status and economic status in “Third World” women can be greatly attributed and resulted from colonialism, industrialization, and economic and political system have resulted in the status of women. Men were drawn into the labor force and women were relegated to domestic work and jobs that are not substantial. It is all gender-related economically and politically, for example the ownership of land, the lack of colonial administrators registering women’s assists and the lack of access to money to purchase land. This is just one example on the western’s influence and changes to the Third World that affected these women in these countries.

Although the Burmese government and various NGOs have made concerted efforts to promote women’s rights since 2008, there is still much room for improvement in the rural and remote border areas. In this paper, I will examine how the role and status of Burmese women have changed through Myanmar’s multiple political transitions, ranging from colonialism, through military junta, to democracy. Special attention will be paid to examining gender inequality in education and political participation. In addition, I argue that tensions between the various racial and ethnic groups in Myanmar serve as deterrents to the efforts made to improve women’s status.

After reading the report The Status of Women and Girls in Colorado I was in a numbing type of shock. There were things that I subconsciously knew like men will receive more than women in their lifetime but after reading facts that solidify this it was surprising. One of the findings that surprised me the most was with Social Security benefits that Men once 65 years or older will receive around $1,334 while women the same age are only going to receive $986. Many of the facts such as these were shocking sometime syou know things and you see them in your world but after reading facts that prove and solidify what a person has seen it 's an eerie feeling. Especially since it is not just one thing that can be attributed to the why women are

Women in Pakistan are more likely to face system subordination, where patriarchal values are embedded in local traditions and culture. Due to the interconnection of gender with other forms of exclusion in the society, the role and status of women cannot be considered homogenous. There is a great deal of diversity in the status of women across regions, classes, the rural/urban divide caused by the lack of socio-economic development and the impact of feudal, tribal, and capitalist social formations in women’s lives.

To understand the actual status of women It is very essential to study the historical background thoroughly. The status of women has gone through the different stages from liberation to subjugation and from subjugation to empowerment. It is not easy to find answers to questions like when did women start losing their status or who was responsible for this situation. To understand the status we need to divide the pre independence period in different segments Ancient, Medieval, British and Contemporary Period.

The book is a compiled action research and documentation work that focused on the varying levels and degree of intensities of women’s work as they contribute to a country’s development and how the intricacies of free-trade or globalization impacts the lives of women- their personhood, their families and their communities. The research involved about eight (8) Asian countries – India, Hongkong, Thailand, Pakistan, Sri Langka, Indonesia, South Korea and the Philippines with poor women who are very much involved and working in the fishing, agriculture, manufacturing/industrial sectors as well as migrant women workers.

Most of the women work in agricultural sector either as workers, in household farms or as wageworkers. Yet it is precisely livelihood in agriculture that has tended to become more volatile and insecure in recent years and women cultivators have therefore been negatively affected. The government's policies for alleviating poverty have failed to produce any desirable results, as women do not receive appropriate wages for their labour. There is also significant amount of unpaid or non-marketed labor within the household. The increase in gender disparity in wages in the urban areas is also quite marked as it results from the employment of women in different and lower paying activities. They are exploited at various levels. They should be provided with proper wages and work at par with men so that their status can be elevated in society.

The declaring of 1975-85 decade as the International Women’s decade also gave impetus to women’s movements for removing the notion of inferiority of women and giving them a sense of identity. The Central Social Welfare Board (CSWB) established by the Government of India in 1953, also promotes and strengthens volunteer efforts for the welfare of women. The Ministry of Welfare, Government of India, too, gives grants to voluntary organizations for activities like construction/expansion of hostels for working women in cities.The analysis of six types of movements suggests that movements are generally initiated and spread by charismatic leaders or by political parties and religious organizations. In the former case, the ideologies are transmitted downwards while in the latter case, these are transmitted upwards. Once any movement based on certain ideology changes, it is not necessary that it will spread in the course of time, it can gain in strength and it can also lose its vitality either because it is considered irrelevant or because it is suppressed by the government.
