Abstract:
Women's empowerment is essential in achieving global food security while being prioritised as one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) agenda. Even though a women’s empowerment role in agriculture received wide attention in works of literature, there is still a research gap about women’s empowerment in Malaysia's agriculture. This study contributes to the status of women’s empowerment and its determinants, as well as challenges to enhance women’s empowerment among rice smallholders in Selangor, Malaysia. By using a framework adapted from the Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI), 200 smallholder paddy farmers were selected using stratified random sampling. The results revealed vital domains that contributed to women’s empowerment, which provided access to extension services and led to effective decision-making, whereas leadership displayed a negative association. The lack of participation in the planning process and community groups were significant obstacles in enhancing the women's empowerment among rice farmers. These results suggested the scope of possible interventions and policy recommendations to enhance women’s empowerment in agriculture.

Abstract:
Empowerment is a key goal in anti-violence programs against women, which can help women control, prevent, and cope effectively with domestic violence. However, there are no specific guidelines for women's empowerment interventions in this area. This study aimed to explore the dimensions of women's empowerment to cope effectively with domestic violence in a sample of women and related experts. In this qualitative content analysis, data was gathered via 21 individual semi-constructed interviews and two five-person focus group discussions. Thirty-one participants were selected by the purposive sampling approach. Fifteen subcategories were extracted after the data analysis, which included multiple revisions and the merging of 892 primary codes based on similarity, which led to the extraction of 15 subcategories. Then, five main categories were identified as dimensions of women’s empowerment to cope effectively with domestic violence: marital life skills, cognitive self-appraisal, attitude, economic agency, and access to resources. Participants cited marital life skills and attitude as essential dimensions of women's empowerment. These results provide a comprehensive view of the dimensions of women’s empowerment to cope effectively with domestic violence in Iran that can be used as a basis for planning empowerment interventions to promote women’s health against violence.

Abstract:
PurposeThe majority of poor women in Africa live in rural areas, and investigating their empowerment status and factors influencing their empowerment is therefore a tool for overcoming poverty. This paper investigated the dimensions and determinants of women's empowerment in rural Nigeria.Design/methodology/approachThis study used data from the 2013 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS). Information on women's agencies, resource, income, leadership and time/workload was used to construct women empowerment index (WEI). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logit regression model.FindingsMost of the decisions were made by the women's spouses, while decisions on how to spend her earnings were jointly made with her spouse. A majority of the women did not justify beating nor owned businesses. A larger percentage of rural women were disempowered than men; agency had the highest relative contribution to women's disempowerment; and women in the northern zones of Nigeria were less empowered than their southern counterparts. Husband's education and her age were inversely related to women's empowerments while her education, household size and being the household head were directly related to it.Originality/valueThere is a dearth of empirical studies on multidimensional women's empowerment in rural Nigeria. This study therefore provides a clear understanding of drivers of women's empowerment in rural Nigeria, and its findings are to serve as guiding documents for policymakers in designing gender-responsive interventions programs and implementation of a genuine gender mainstreaming in rural development policy in Nigeria. Further, the findings would contribute to the growing body of knowledge, especially empirical studies, on women's empowerment in Nigeria and the developing world.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/IJSE-07-2019-0455

Abstract:
This paper aims to examine whether the microcredit (MC) programme, a financial mechanism to provide small amount of credit to the poor, had improved the status of poor women in the family as well as in society i.e. empowerment status of women. The research is based on primary survey of three settlements in the periphery of Bandipur Municipality of Tanahun district. For survey, a sample of 30 women were selected which represented 15 percent women beneficiaries of microcredit from the study area. The respondents were selected by using systematic random sampling. In addition to questionnaire survey, KII with six local persons and two FGDs were also conducted. The paper has used the conceptual framework of Sara Longwe (1990) to examine women empowerment. The findings are derived by comparing the position of women in various family affairs such as access to finance, control over income and expenditure, children's education and participation in social meetings etc., prior to and after participation in MC programmes. The results showed that most of the females who received microcredit reported socioeconomic empowerment through access to capital, control over resources, decision making power, etc. The findings, however, varied with regard to Dalit, Janajati and Brahmin/Chhetri women and those women in hard core poverty and landless families are still out of the reach of MC programmes. Those who are engaged in income earning activities with the MC need to be supported financially and technically to upscale their business so that the cumulative effect would also contribute to the improving various macro-economic indicators of the economy.

Abstract:
La religione rappresenta un importante determinante degli atteggiamenti degli agenti economici. Pertanto, l'interesse degli studiosi per le norme sociali radicate nella cultura religiosa non è nuovo e i dibattiti sulle loro implicazioni sulle economie sono stati attivi sin dall'istituzione delle scienze sociali moderne. Ma, oltre a questo, i partiti populisti di destra stanno acquisendo più potere al giorno d'oggi, ei sentimenti religiosi delle persone sono stati uno dei tanti strumenti a cui le figure politiche spesso si rivolgono quando mirano a soddisfare rapidamente gli elettori. Pertanto, non sorprende che un giovane economista si interessi maggiormente alle conseguenze economiche e sociali della religiosità. Questa tesi riguarda gli effetti della religiosità musulmana sulla disuguaglianza di genere nell'istruzione. Le tradizioni religiose della società hanno storicamente dato una forma particolare alle regole formali e informali che modellano atteggiamenti e decisioni. La natura patriarcale della maggior parte delle tradizioni religiose porta a uomini e donne ruoli ideali diversi, con alcune conseguenze negative per le capacità delle donne. Sebbene lo svantaggio femminile in un contesto religioso non rimanga confinato all'Islam, la maggior parte dei paesi a maggioranza musulmana oggi mostra scarse prestazioni in termini di parità di genere. Con questa motivazione, la tesi esamina l'effetto della religiosità musulmana sul capitale umano, che si pone come elemento essenziale dello sviluppo economico e dell'uguaglianza di genere. Il primo capitolo si concentra sulle abilità STEM degli studenti dei paesi musulmani e indaga se la religiosità spiega le profonde disuguaglianze di genere nel mondo islamico perché tale formazione di abilità determinerà il futuro delle economie a lungo termine. L'altro capitolo si concentra sulla prima generazione della Repubblica turca, il primo paese laico a maggioranza musulmana, ed esplora come la religiosità dei genitori influenzi il livello di istruzione delle donne e le loro successive esiti di vita in Turchia. In questi studi, il Ramadan costituisce la fonte esogena di variazione nella religiosità. Il Capitolo 1 analizza le origini delle disuguaglianze di genere nei paesi musulmani esaminando l'effetto della religiosità sui risultati delle studentesse e degli studenti in Matematica e Scienze. Utilizzando i punteggi dei test di Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study di studenti dell'ottavo anno nei paesi musulmani, mostro che le prestazioni STEM delle studentesse peggiorano significativamente nei tre mesi successivi al Ramadan. Tuttavia, il Ramadan non influisce sui punteggi degli studenti maschi. Questo risultato è dovuto all'aumento della religiosità e al successivo rafforzamento delle norme di genere tradizionali tra i genitori. Fornisco inoltre prove di un aumento degli stereotipi di genere, provocato da una bassa autostima, pressione negativa dei pari, esaurimento della memoria e trattamento parentale rigoroso sulle donne, all'indomani del Ramadan. Il Capitolo 2 analizza gli effetti della religiosità genitoriale sui risultati scolastici e di altra vita della prole femminile. Il verificarsi del Ramadan al momento del periodo di iscrizione alla scuola primaria riduce le possibilità delle ragazze di completare l'istruzione primaria. Nasce dalla salienza delle norme tradizionali di genere che la religiosità genera. La religiosità genitoriale ha effetti persistenti sui risultati del mercato del lavoro femminile. Diventano meno propensi a trovarsi nel mercato del lavoro e persone che percepiscono un reddito e meno probabilità di lavorare in lavori professionali. Invece, una maggiore religiosità nell'età critica della scolarizzazione aumenta il numero di bambini che le donne hanno partorito e la probabilità che le donne rimangano fuori dalla forza lavoro a causa delle responsabilità familiari.
Religion represents an important determinant of economic agents’ attitudes. Thus, the interest of scholars in the social norms rooted in the religious culture is not new, and the debates over their implications on economies have been active since the establishment of modern social sciences. But, over and above this, populist right-wing parties are getting more power nowadays, and religious sentiments of people have been one of the several instruments that the political figures frequently address when they aim to please voters quickly. Therefore, it is an unsurprising circumstance that a young economist takes a greater interest in the economic and social consequences of religiosity. This thesis is about the effects of Muslim religiosity on gender inequality in education. Religious traditions of society have historically given a particular form to the formal and informal rules shaping attitudes and decisions. The patriarchal nature of most religious traditions brings different ideal roles to men and women, with some negative consequences for women’s abilities. Although the female disadvantage in a religious context does not remain confined to Islam, most of the Muslim-majority countries today exhibit poor performance in gender equality. With this motivation, the thesis examines the effect of Muslim religiosity on human capital, which stands as the essential element of economic development and gender equality. The first chapter focuses on the STEM skills of students from Muslim countries and investigates whether religiosity explains the deep-rooted gender inequalities in the Islamic world because such skill formation will dictate the future of economies in the long run. The other chapter concentrates on the first generation of the Turkish Republic, the first secular Muslim-majority country, and explores how parental religiosity affects women's educational attainment and their later life outcomes in Turkey. In these studies, Ramadan constitutes the exogenous source of variation in religiosity. Chapter 1 analyzes the origins of gender inequalities in Muslim countries by examining the effect of religiosity on female and male students' achievements in Mathematics and Sciences. Using Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study test scores of eighth-graders in Muslim countries, I show that STEM performances of female students significantly worsen in the three months after Ramadan. Yet, Ramadan does not affect male students' scores. This result is due to increased religiosity and subsequent reinforcement of traditional gender norms among parents. I further provide evidence of increased gender stereotypes, proxied by low self-confidence, negative peer pressure, memory depletion, and strict parental treatment on females, in the aftermath of Ramadan. Chapter 2 analyzes the effects of parental religiosity on female offsprings' educational and other life-long outcomes. The occurrence of Ramadan at the time of the primary school enrollment period reduces girls' chance to complete primary education. It arises from the salience of traditional gender norms that religiosity engenders. Parental religiosity has persistent effects on females’ labor market outcomes. They become less likely to be in the labor market and income-earners and less likely to work in professional jobs. Instead, increased religiosity at the critical age of schooling increases the number of children that women have given birth and the probability of women being out of the labor force due to household responsibilities.

Abstract:
The aim of this research is to investigate whether and how women's financial contributions to household resources might lead to changes in gender relations. It feeds directly into current concerns about women's empowerment and gender equality which are on the agenda of international and national bodies, scholars and development practitioners and is anchored in the debate about the importance of women's income-earning activities for achieving gender equality. The research focuses on relationships between women and men in a poor rural settlement in northeastern Mexico. The thesis details the negotiating and bargaining processes between women and men in 23 households and examines how these relationships and the identities of the women and men involved are influenced by the context in which they are embedded. This context includes the community itself as well as government policy as experienced through income generating projects, and wider Mexican cultural norms. The research findings support the argument that incomeearning activities alone will not result in the changes often sought by development practitioners and feminists, and now also by governments worldwide. Wider changes in the cultural and economic environment are also needed to change the perceptions of self and others that individuals bring to their gender relations. These changes in perception are central to maintaining or reinforcing changes in gendered power relations. The research findings pointed to no significant changes in women's and men's identities, and motherhood continues to be the only source of power for rural women whose economic contributions are under-valued. The structures of power within which poor rural women, with a limited resource base and limited social networks, carry out their income-earning activities do not create an enabling environment for transformatory changes to occur in their gender relations

Abstract:
This thesis investigates whether women's empowerment affects children's wellbeing in two developing countries: Mexico and India. The first chapter provides a background on women's empowerment. The second chapter evaluates a conditional cash transfer (CCT) program, which provides poor women in Mexico with tools to be better mothers, in terms of its impact on birthweight. The third chapter analyses whether empowered women, referred as those who have progressive gender attitudes, are more likely to have a firstborn girl in Delhi, India. Specifically, the second chapter evaluates PROGRESA-Oportunidades, a program that pays mothers cash in exchange of their investment in their children's human capital: education, health, and nutrition. Using quantile regressions, the chapter finds a positive and significant program effect, but babies at the upper tail of the conditional birthweight distribution seem to have benefited the most. Moreover, maternal smoking during pregnancy is associated with a 459-gram decrease on birthweights at the 20th percentile of the conditional distribution, completely wiping out any program benefits. This effect is not picked up by least squares regression estimates, which is the technique used by previous literature on the subject. The third chapter turns to India, a country that has lost millions of girls to sex-selective abortions. The chapter first constructs a women's empowerment (progressivity ) index using a latent factor model, and then assesses whether progressive women are more likely to have a firstborn girl in Delhi. The latter territory has, unlike the Indian average, 'missing' women even among first order births. The results show that a one-standard deviation increase in the progressivity index is associated with a 5.8-percentage point increase in the likelihood of a firstborn girl relative to women who have not yet given birth.

Abstract:
Abstract India’s women were disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 induced lockdowns and economic disruptions. Recent high frequency data demonstrates that that women suffered massive job and income losses. In December 2020, nine months into the lockdown, there were still 11.5 million fewer persons in the labour force vs. December 2019, 4 million men and 7.5 million women. The overall size of the labour force shrunk by 2.6% between December 2019 to December 2020, yet the size of the female labour force shrunk by 14%, vs. 1% for men. Women faced stricter mobility restrictions, limiting their access to workplaces. Across income strata, women’s unpaid domestic responsibilities increased, with some estimates showing a 30% increase in carework, leaving them little time for seeking renumerated employment. Gender digital divides worsened, leaving women without access to digital business and online education, increasingly important in a post-COVID-19 economy. Most importantly, women faced the scourge of the shadow pandemic of domestic violence, rendering them insecure and unable to work. Despite being one of the world’s fastest growing emerging economies, only a quarter of Indian women were in the labour force even pre- COVID-19. Analysis of time series data over the last five decades (1970-2018), shows that women’s labour force and workforce participation rates have secularly declined to their lowest levels since Independence. Given this disparate impact of COVID-19, in the absence of targeted policy interventions designed to support retention and promote women’s workforce participation, women are likely to continue being excluded from India’s spectacular growth story.

Accordingly, literature is a well-respected necessity in society; therefore, a universal human need. Thus, denying women the right to literature is also a form of violation. In this presentation, the author aims to reflect not only on literature by female authors but also its importance in the process of constructing women's subjectivity and identity, whether in reading fiction or in its production. To reflect on women's right to read and write literature, as well as their way of expressing their perception, anxieties, and ways of understanding the world, this presentation proposes a literary analysis of texts by the Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector. Her works evidence the potential of bringing light to the processes of self-knowledge and freedom. These processes can be ignited because these texts can trigger the process of self-awareness and can then generate female empowerment. By reading Clarice Lispector's writing, it remains clear that she reveals human dramas specific to the female universe, as she opens up possibilities for readers to know themselves as women and to project themselves as producers of literature. It would seem that these realities are founded worlds and realities apart from those that dominated male perceptions during the 1950s to 1970s when she was writing; however, many of those predominant male perceptions prevail in today’s contemporary society. Keywords: Women's Writing; Reception; Self knowledge; Clarice Lispector; Empowerment.

Abstract:
There is a gender gap observed in access, ownership and control of land and other productive resources which is not in favor of women in Nigeria. While most studies on access to land resource have related it to food security, this study however examined its implications for the empowerment of women in the study area. Multistage sampling technique was used to obtain a sample of 120 households from the population. Questionnaires were used to elicit information from the sample, and its administration was interactive. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between women's empowerment and access, control, and ownership of land resource. The regression analysis showed that land ownership, rights to land, and decision-making power over land had significant effects on the empowerment status. The study recommends that laws that will ensure and protect women's access and rights to land should be put in place and such laws should be properly monitored and evaluated.

Abstract:
Abstract Outsiders may wonder what Brazilian women’s lives are like here and who the women activists influencing human rights, female empowerment, and social change are. As in other countries, during the past few decades Brazilian women have revolted against patriarchy by raising their voices and creating social impact. This qualitative study, using secondary research, identifies Marielle Franco, Zilda Arns, Maria da Penha, Marta Vieira da Silva, and Dilma Rousseff as five empowered Brazilian women. Most came from humble origins - families that were examples of charity and struggled for rights, but all obtained degrees either in higher education or in their specialization. However, their origins did not determine social action. The driving force was their suffering from discrimination, specifically because they were women and, furthermore, because they occupied places that were previously reserved for white men. Almost all were persecuted, while others also suffered discrimination because of their skin color and ethnicity. Even so, being wives and mothers, all were excellent professionals, searching for success and achieving progress in their dedicated areas by creating social changes, especially in human rights for children and women. Those who are still alive continue the battle against the entrenched patriarchy in a predominantly macho society as they continue their strife for more progress. Finally, those committed to building an evolved, modern, inclusive, and respectful Brazilian society perceive the macho practices that prevail as inadequate and detrimental to women. As more and more women carry on in the fight for human rights, society will evolve. Keywords: Brazilian women, human rights, discrimination, women’s rights

Abstract:
Abstract The digital revolution has paved the way to a digital world that stimulates economic growth, develops health outcomes, and raises millions out of poverty by means of new technologies and services. The COVID-19 outbreak hastened the implementation of digital solutions at an exceptional speed, producing unforeseen opportunities for alternative methods to social and economic life. On the other hand, the COVID-19 crisis threatens to repel hard-won achievements in gender equality, further revealing women’s vulnerabilities based on their already existing economic, social and political situations. Tackling the digital gender divide is essential to guaranteeing sustainability of women’s livelihood. Therefore, the aim of this study is to find out if the COVID-19 crisis is enforcing existing digital inequality keeping in mind that failure to address the gender digital divide will increase gender inequality.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT This study reports on women college students’ leadership, teamwork, diversity, and communication skills while planning and executing a leadership event in Japan over a period of seven months. Data were gathered from 11 students who completed two online questionnaires: Questionnaire A was administered while planning the event and Questionnaire B was administered after they executed the event. The questionnaires asked about the difficulties/joys of teamwork as both a leader and a follower as well as the lessons they learned through the process. An analysis of the questionnaire results indicated drastic changes in participants’ views of leadership, teamwork, diversity, and communication skills. Students’ learnings mostly occurred during teamwork planning efforts, but after the execution, the learnings become established as a sense of appreciation and self-confidence, thereby enhancing their potential as a leader and a follower.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT This study explores the impacts of customer reward power, customer coercive power, perceived behavioral control and personal factors on the full-time life insurance salespeople’s intentions to report quid pro quo and hostile work environment types of customer sexual harassment. This study collects quantitative data through questionnaire surveys. 743 valid questionnaires are gathered for the analyses. The findings of this research show that quid pro quo customer sexual harassment is intolerable to the respondents, and it will not become more tolerable because of the benefits these respondents could get in the wrongful behaviors. The regression analyses then support the effects of customer reward power on the whistleblowing intentions in quid pro quo customer sexual harassment. Perceived behavioral control is found to be the most influential factor that affects the whistleblowing intentions. This is the first empirical study to test the relationships among these variables. The findings could provide some implications for the researchers, official authorities and life insurance companies.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the destruction of capital held by FIRE-retirees in the US stock- market as represented by the S&P500 index during the coronavirus market-crash. The performance of a lumpsum of $1,000,000 invested by retirees at the end of each year from 2009 to 2019 were calculated using 4% inflation adjusted withdrawal rates. Findings suggest that at the low point of March 23, 2020 the retirees of the first 4 years (2009 till 2012) using 4% inflation adjusted withdrawals all had their initial $1,000,000 capital plus growth. (Highest positive balance: 2009, $1,485,574, increase of 48.6%. Lowest positive balance: 2012, $1,282,147, increase 28.2%). All retirees from the end of 2013 had their initial $1,000,000 investment decreased to below initial capital (Lowest negative balance: 2019, $692,500, decrease 30.75%). Despite 4% inflation adjusted withdrawals, the longer the retirement period the more likely to experience net capital growth. The investigation also revealed the effect of 0% or negative returns during the beginning years of an investment. Some $1,000,000 investments made in earlier years (2010, 2014 and 2017) ending in lower balances than investments made in the next year (2011, 2015 and 2018).

Abstract:
Abstract Within a continuously changing environment, leadership qualities cannot be static. The ability to adapt leadership styles pro-actively or in response to change, is an important quality. This paper reports on a survey carried out amongst a small group of women in higher education, at a women’s leadership academy in South Africa. It explored whether, with the dawn of democracy in South Africa in 1994 and post this period, there was a difference in the view of the characteristics of leadership in higher education compared to the apartheid period (pre- 1994), and what that view would be if it had changed. It also further explored whether there was a view that the characteristics of leadership was gender specific. Lastly, questions focused on whether there was a need for continued support for women towards and in leadership. Comments indicated that participants felt that more women had been included in higher education leadership post-democracy, but that leadership qualities were still gender specific, with traditionally viewed masculine characteristics still predominant. The responses also reflected a continued need for support and development for women in and towards higher education leadership, with various suggestions on the forms this should take. Responses resonated with the scholarly literature arguments for adaptability in leadership, considering organisational and environmental sustainability and ever-increasing complexities of these milieus. The paper reports on the findings of the survey using a qualitative approach, although numerical data is minimally presented at times. The focus is on the comments to the survey questions, with a qualitative analysis and presentation of findings, linking these to the literature on leadership qualities and support for women towards and in leadership.

Abstract:
This evaluation is presented as part of the Effectiveness Review Series 2018/19 on women’s empowerment. The BASIC START (Building Autonomous and Stable Institutions and Communities through Socially Cohesive, Transparent, Accountable and Responsive Transition) in the Bangsamoro' project was carried out in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) in the Philippines between April 2015 and August 2017, by Oxfam together with four implementing partners: Al Mujadilah Development Foundation (AMDF), United Youth of the Philippines Women (UnYPhil-Women), Tarbilang Foundation, and Women Engaged in Action on 1325 (WE Act 1325). The project aimed to promote women's empowerment and peacebuilding in the region. A quasi-experimental approach was used to assess the impact of the project activities in strengthening women’s empowerment. The evaluation used Oxfam's Women's Empowerment (WE) index. Overall, the evaluation found that the BASIC START project had a positive impact on Women's Empowerment in all three levels investigated – personal, relational and environmental.

Abstract:
Across Ghana, mixed-crop-livestock enterprises dominate the farming systems with most farmers producing both food staples and non-food cash crops. However, this paper focuses mainly on oil palm-producing farmers because oil palm is Ghana’s second most important industrial crop (aside from cocoa). However, it has a more extensive local value chain that allows for artisanal processing and thus, has huge potential for rural employment generation and poverty reduction. Oil palm is also one of the priority crops under Ghana’s Food and Agriculture Sector Development Policy. This paper reviews the livelihood outcomes with regards to agricultural commercialisation and how this particularly relates to women’s empowerment and rural employment in the oil palm sector in Ghana.
