PAHO: Greater Gender Equality is Good for Teens' Health

Differentiating between the sensitivity of income inequality to male income and female income and decomposing inequality by income determinants, we find that total income inequality is less sensitive to female income variability or the level of female income, than to male income variability or the level of male income. Uniform increases in education reduce income inequality, with increases in female education having a larger effect than increases in male education. An increase in the population fraction of ethnic minorities has a positive effect on inequality, but this operates mostly through female income. All this suggests that female income is the most adequate target for inequality-reducing policy, and that within-household gender equality is good for reducing income inequality among households.

This study is about the present scenario of Gender Equality and Social Inclusion GESI in the technical schools. This study has tried to explore the present scenario, how the schools are mainstreaming in GESI and how is GESI mainstreaming done in the schools. This study is qualitative in nature and the interview was done with three female and one male participant who have been working in the schools. The participants experience and perception is carried out in the study through the in-depth interview. The study shows that there are several improvements in the GESI field and most of the schools have GESI unit which seems good for the implementation of the policies formulated regarding the GESI. Also this study has tried to dig out the GESI barriers in the mainstreaming and implementation level in the local level. Though there are many changes, many improvements, there are still chances to make it more effective and make GESI friendly environment in the school.

AbstractWe develop a figure of merit for SETI observations which is anexplicitfunction of the EIRP of the transmitters, which allows us to treat sky surveys and targeted searches on the same footing. For each EIRP, we calculate the product of terms measuring the number of stars within detection range, the range of frequencies searched, and the number of independent observations for each star. For a given set of SETI observations, the result is a graph of merit versus transmitter EIRP. We apply this technique to several completed and ongoing SETI programs. The results provide a quantitative confirmation of the expected qualitative difference between sky surveys and targeted searches: the Project Phoenix targeted search is good for finding transmitters in the 109to 1014W range, while the sky surveys do their best at higher powers. Current generation optical SETI is not yet competitive with microwave SETI.
