Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the role and adaptation of participatory design (PD) approaches to create “safe spaces” where young forced migrants can be co-researchers on and co-designers of mobile (geospatial) services to support them upon arrival and during the first stages of their (re)settlement in the host cities. In such particular context, the current research has three main contributions. First, it identified a set of initial challenges and needs of forced migrants upon arrival and in the first stages of their (re)settlement in Münster, North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany.

Abstract:
Forced resettlement is an issue of great humanitarian concern. The disruption it brings to the lives of the people it affects cannot be fully expressed. Many of such people lose the ability of restoring their lives, never to regain it till they die. What is more alarming is when forced resettlement is not caused by conflict or natural disaster but rather conscious development projects like dams, where it is expected that great energy will be channelled towards reducing and if possible avoid the adverse impacts of such forceful resettlement as a matter of human and citizenship right.

Abstract:
Taking as sample, data obtained directly by the pension fund of an Italian multinational containing more than 35 thousand members, it is assessed, through logistic regression models, how demographic characteristics might affect individual risk aversion. The test is useful to identify groups of workers that by nature are more risk averse and could be disadvantaged by the 2006 TFR (severance indemnity) Italian pension reform. For example women controlling for age, income, region and financial literacy prefer lower risky portfolio and they are more likely to switch toward safer sub-funds.

Abstract:
In Thailand, female labour force participation rates are quite high by international standards. Women work for various purposes without any constraints. In this study, many socio-economic factors are investigated in order to find their relationship with female labour force participation. Data from the 1980 Population Census are used. The relationship between female labour force participation and socio-economic factors is positive. Many factors show a close association such as education and number of children living in the household. As education increases , so does the proportion of wo

This thesis is made of three related yet independent empirical studies, exploring the determinants of different labour market outcomes among women, using Italian data. The first study investigates the determinants of the reservation wage gap between unemployed women and men, using data drawn from the Italian Labour Force Survey (LFS). The results indicate that a large part of the gender reservation wage gap is explained by different job preferences between males and females, and by unobserved factors which may be associated with occupational discrimination.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the effect of women's labor force participation on marital instability. It is hypothesized that women's income-earning affects marriage in two ways: 1) the "independence effect" facilitates divorce by enabling women to be self-supporting; 2) the "parallel marriage effect" improves marital satisfaction and the quality of the marital relationship because women with higher incomes generally have more power in marriage. The "independence effect" is measured by whether or not women's income is sufficient, defined as income above the poverty line for the appropriate family size

This dissertation examines the effect of changes in the stock of human capital on the labor force participation decision of women aged 25-54. Without the option of homebased work, some women choose to leave the labor market and stay at home temporarily for family reasons. Working women realize that time out of the labor force could impose penalties on their work careers. This is because during the break, they do not accumulate any new human capital while the existing job skills continuously depreciate. Nowadays, home-based work becomes possible for many jobs because rapid development in person
