Abstract:

Women have made a significant progress in the medical profession. In 2013, they accounted for 46.8% of total physicians in OECD countries, a 10% increase from 2003. In Italy, women account for almost 40% of the medical work-force in 2013 and their increase has been very strong in years, up to +34% in the decade 2001-2011 and up to +3% from 2012 to 2013. Notwithstanding the strong feminization of the medical workforce, gender inequalities still persist. Empirical research has shed light on gender inequalities in pay, leadership and specialty fields. It is widely acknowledged that women physicia

The main finding is that the content of the college degree course is the most signicant variable in explaining the earnings gender differentials of young workers. In particular I show

China is confronted with serious issue of gender inequality and discrimination in workplace. There are some key factors leading to gender inequality, such as the lack of laws and regulations and organizations’ goal of maximizing profit. Gender discrimination has serious and negative impact on employers, employees and investment of human capital. More seriously, gender inequality and discrimination have changed in the last decade. Gender discrimination has become more comprehensive and serious, motivating a more detailed investigation. This research investigates gender inequality issue in work

Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading natural cause of mortality in South Africa, and the country has the sixth-highest TB burden in the world. Of every 100 000 South Africans, 781 are expected to develop TB. Even with the adoption of the Directly Observed Treatment, Short-Course (DOTS) strategy since 1996 and substantial investments and improvement in TB control, South Africa has failed to meet the TB-related targets set by the World Health Organization (WHO). The current burden of TB will lead to massive consequences of mortality and morbidity in the country besides the substantial financial impl

Three main questions are addressed: (1) are there gender differences in health over time, (2) do changes in SEP lead to health inequalities and (3) do changes in SEP impact health differently for women and men?

This PhD dissertation addresses how couples manage their money in intimate relationships. It is composed of 4 articles. The first one focuses on the individual and couple level dynamics behind money management systems in Western Europe. I find that the couples who appear relatively more traditional on individual characteristics, are also more likely to use more traditional money management strategy. In the second one, I explore how variation in macro level characteristics shapes money management decisions, using data from 34 countries. The results show the importance of contextual gender egali

However, women remain highly underrepresented at leadership levels, and gender inequality is still a significant issue (Ely, Ibarra, & Kolb, 2011; Kelan, 2012; Twenge, 2010).

Cette thèse explore la transformation de l’amitié sous l’effet de l’urbanisation en Inde, et ses répercussions sur les rapports de genre. Alors que les recherches sur les pays du Sud se concentrent sur la famille et la communauté, les formes de sociabilité plus individualisées demeurent peu examinées. Pour combler cette lacune, cette étude se penche sur l’amitié proche – un lien intime, non familial et non amoureux. Contrairement à l’idée reçue selon laquelle la ville affaiblirait les liens sociaux, la thèse soutient que l’urbanisation stimule l’émergence de nouvelles formes d’intimité et de s

Abstract:

This qualitative study examines young adults’ expectations and experiences of consent and pleasure which result in a grey area. Based on focus groups and one-on-one interviews with 18 to 25-year-old women and men, I explore various experiences of consensual sex ranging from clearly consensual and pleasurable, consensual yet mediocre experiences, and those which reflect a grey area of consent. Whereas best and simply mediocre sex are characterized by clear feelings of consent, the grey area involves sex that is felt as less than fully consensual but not quite as sexual assault. I apply theorie

Abstract:

The right to adequate housing is an unaccomplished human right, and unequal power relations between men and women are also perpetuated when trying to access decent housing even in the most prosperous global cities such as Barcelona. The aim of this research study has been to show how housing is represented and produced by the Barcelona City Council and which are the gendering effects and implications thereof. Through the analysis of the three most relevant political instruments in the field of housing, the “What’s the Problem Represented to be?” method proposed by Carol Bacchi (1999) has allow

Abstract:

Canada has an urgent need for more engineers to support its infrastructure, advance technology, and solve increasingly complex human, economic, and environmental problems. Women have often been identified as a resource who can provide new perspectives, solutions, and innovations. While women’s participation in engineering programs has increased over the last 50 years, their participation rate in the workforce has not, keeping engineering as a male-dominated occupation. Despite challenges, women graduates have entered the engineering workforce, but often they have not stayed. The purpose of thi

Abstract:

America has a national ethos embodied in the moniker “land of the free” and defined by a set of ideals in which being free means all men and women have an equal opportunity for prosperity, the pursuit of happiness and success. In essence, simply having access to upward social mobility achieved through one’s own perseverance and hard work, the quintessential American Dream. The first use of the phrase American Dream was by James Truslow Adams to characterize the ideal that every man should live a richer and fuller life than his ancestors based on opportunity according to ability or achievement

Abstract:

Bien que le VIH soit devenu une cause majeure de pauvreté et de décès sur le continent africain, la relation entre pauvreté et épidémie du VIH/Sida n’est pas aussi simple qu’elle ne le paraît. En effet, si à l’échelle mondiale les pays les plus touchés sont les pays pauvres, au niveau de l’Afrique Sub-saharienne, les pays les plus affectés sont les plus riches. Ces pays se trouvent également être ceux qui affichent les distributions de revenu les plus inégalitaires. Un autre fait saillant de la distribution de l’épidémie du VIH/Sida en Afrique Sub-saharienne est qu’elle est la région du monde
