Gender differences in keratoconus keratoplasty: a 25-year study in Southern Brazil and global perspective

Mukesh Eswaran's Why Gender Matters in Economics presents a generally well-researched review of the literature on women and economics, and admirably attempts take a global perspective. Eswaran's analysis is compromised, however, by an unreflective use of perspectives and methods that themselves, when seen in a broader perspective, reflect gendered biases. With particular reference to Eswaran's discussions of gender differences in preferences, the preferential treatment of groups, and work/family issues, this essay outlines how these biases arise, and how economic analysis must change if it is to become more rigorous.

The objective of this study was to find out whether there are gender differences regarding socio-demographic characteristics and associated risk factors in adults monitored in an outpatient hypertension facility. Retrospective analysis of records of patients seen at the outpatient hypertension clinic in 2009-2010, in a hospital specialized in cardiology, in southern Brazil. All patients were beneficiaries from the Brazilian Unified Healthcare System (SUS). The variables considered were socio-demographic profile, anthropometric measurements and risk factors for hypertension. For statistical analysis, a significance level of 5% (p ≤ 0.05) was adopted. Of the 209 patient records assessed, most belonged to female patients (66%), 65.9% of them were married, 71.6% were white, with mean age 53.5 ± 13.8 years, and 70.1% had a sedentary behavior. Regarding risk factors, waist circumference and alcohol use were higher among men (p=0.04). It was concluded that there was no gender difference concerning the assessed variables, except for the use of alcohol.

Wage Inequalities

Among the studies developed on gender differences in occupations, the theoretical glass ceiling approach has been used internationally to explain the occurrence of barriers that hinder and even prevent the professional growth of women and generate wage inequalities between men and women in the performance of similar functions. Given the above, the study aims to identify gender differences in the accounting profession analyzed from the perspective of the glass ceiling. The research methodology is descriptive, documentary and the approach is quantitative. Data were extracted from the Annual Social Information (RAIS), base year 2013. The investigated population are employees who work in accounting in companies located in southern Brazil. The results indicate that the professions of accounting auditor and accountant are performed, most often by male professionals. It was found that men have higher pay and a predominance of men in the accounting department of larger companies. We conclude that glass ceiling is present in the accounting profession, creating an invisible barrier to women's access to positions of greater evidence of the accounting profession.Keywords: Glass Ceiling.
