Abstract We consider various factors impacting the participation of women in science throughout the world, with a particular emphasis on developing countries. For the world as a whole, we find that when the percentage of women working in science in a country is plotted vs. the per capita GDP of the country (adjusted for purchasing power parity) the data fall on an inverted U-shaped ‘boomerang’ curve. Thus, as per capita wealth increases, the percentage of women in science first increases and then falls. This is in marked contrast to the (right-side-up) U-shaped curve that is well-established for the participation of women in the labor force as a whole, suggesting that there are factors in the culture of science that result in opposing trends to those observed in the general workforce. This also results in many developing countries having a much higher participation of women in the scientific workforce than is seen in economically developed countries. Contradicting previous reports to the contrary, we find a positive correlation between gender equality in science and the degree of overall gender equity in the country. Thus, we do not find evidence for the claim that greater gender equity results in the manifestation of innate gender differences in preferences for science. We find differing patterns of retention in science for women in developing and developed countries. We also briefly discuss other factors that make it difficult for women in developing countries to follow a scientific career, or to advance in their careers.

Positive Results

The purpose is to investigate if gender affects knowledge of the International Trade War. The results will show that if both men and women had knowledge in full, of the devastating effects of an International Trade War, before it's escalation, any trade war would be withheld. If women fully understood and participated in war issues, then the negotiations and agreements would be richer, stronger, subtler and firmly rooted especially in developing countries. The Author used the Chi Method to understand how knowledgeable are the Professional Men and Women in Zambia on The International Trade War and the data will show the knowledge imbalance. The Article confirms that more needs to be done with the dissemination of information and participation of women because the lack of knowledge and participation does not bring positive results according to the findings in research which is briefly referred to in the Literature Review. Sadly, it appears that the gender gap will always exist.

Аннотация. В статье рассматривается трансформация роли женщин в социальной жизни развивающихся стран. Автор приходит к выводу, что стремление достичь равного участия женщин и мужчин в различных сферах жизнедеятельности общества является одной из ключевых тенденций развития демократических режимов. Однако, на современном этапе существует ряд проблем, препятствующих достижению полного гендерного равенства и представительства, что требует определенных действий не только со стороны государства, но и со стороны гражданского общества, а также международных организаций. Ключевые слова: гендер, гендерное равенство, гендерная асимметрия, права человека, права женщин. Аннотация. Макалада өнүгүп жаткан өлкөлөрдүн социалдык турмушундагы аялдардын ролунун трансформациясы каралат. Автор коомдун турмуш-тиричилигинин ар кандай чөйрөлөрүндө аялдардын жана эркектердин бирдей катышуусуна жетишүүгө умтулуу демократиялык режимдерди өнүктүрүүнүн негизги тенденцияларынын бири деген жыйынтыкка келет. Бирок, заманбап этапта толук гендердик бирдейликке жана өкүлчүлүккө жетишүүгө тоскоолдук кылган бир катар көйгөйлөр бар, бул мамлекет тарабынан гана эмес, ошондой эле жарандык коомдор жана эл аралык уюмдар тарабынан белгилүү аракеттерди талап кылат. Түйүндүү сөздөр: гендер, гендердик теңдик, гендердик асимметрия, адам укуктары, аялдын укуктары. Abstract. The article discusses the transformation of the role of women in the social life of developing countries. The author comes to the conclusion that the desire to achieve equal participation of women and men in various spheres of society is one of the key trends in the development of democratic regimes. However, at the present stage there are a number of problems that hinder the achievement of full gender equality and representation, which requires certain actions not only from the state, but also from civil society, as well as international organizations. Keywords: gender, gender equality, gender asymmetry, human rights, women's rights.
