The Impact

A gender perspective on displacement and associated resettlement is less common, since the traditional discourse has categorised the development refugees to be a homogenous undifferentiated people—without gender, age or other defining characteristics except ethnicity. Many studies are being done to analyse the impacts of displacement caused by development projects on the resettled communities. But the differential impacts of displacement on men and women have only been considered very recently. Gender has been missing in the impact assessments of large development projects like dams. This article, based on an ongoing research work, is an attempt in this direction to analyse some post resettlement impacts of the Sardar Sarovar Project on tribal communities from a gender lens. The first part of the article dwells upon the post resettlement changes in livelihood opportunities. The second part of the manuscript is a gender analysis showing the impacts of post resettlement transformations upon men and women at the new sites. We ultimately attempt to highlight the transformations in gender roles and gender relations due to displacement and resettlement by providing empirical evidence from the resettlement sites. The research has adopted qualitative methods in data collection. Data have been collected through household surveys, focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with key informants.

Communities in the District of Malaka periodically are hit by floods and droughts caused by climate change. Lack of food makes people have to adjust for the sake of survival. Roles, social relationships, responsibilities and division of labor between men and women also can change when trying to meet the needs of such food as a result of climate change. Matriaki culture is embraced by the people of Malacca and geographical environment often affected influential in the division of labor between men and women every day. Harvard Gender Analysis techniques used in this study to look at the impact of climate change and gender relations are formed in three patterns of food production (production, distribution and consumption) that occurs in the three affected areas in the district of Malaka.Keywords: Disaster, Culture Matriarchy, Gender Analysis Technique Harvard.

The Impact

The study of vulnerability constitutes a central axis in research work on sustainability. Social vulnerability (SV) analyzes differences in human capacity to prepare, respond and recover from the impact of a natural hazard. Although disasters threaten all the people who suffer from them, they do not affect all members of society in the same way. Social and economic inequalities make certain groups more vulnerable. Factors such as age, sex, social class and ethnic identity increase vulnerability to a natural disaster. Ten years after the earthquake in Haiti in 2010, this work deepens the relationship between natural disasters, SV and gender, exploring the unequal distribution of the SV in the face of a seismic risk. The source of statistical information has been obtained from the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS), developed by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Multicriteria decision techniques (TOPSIS) and the differences in differences (DID) technique are used to analyze variations in gender inequality in SV as a result of the catastrophic event. The results obtained reinforce the idea of the negative impact of the disaster on the SV. Additionally, an intensification of the negative effects is observed when the household is headed by a woman, increasing the gap in SV between households headed by women and the rest of the households. The conclusions obtained show additional evidence of the negative effects caused by natural disasters on women, and important implications for disaster risk management are derived that should not be ignored.

The Impact

This study explores the interaction effect of team identity and gender on free-riding responses to fear and cooperation sustainability in a social dilemma situation. Based on differences in inequity aversion, risk preferences, and reaction to competition between men and women, we predict that team identity reduces free-riding behaviors among men when they feel fear to be exploited by others teammates that free-ride, but that it does not affect women in this way. Consequently, we also predict that the effect of team identity on cooperation sustainability differs between the two genders. We conducted an experiment in which dominant incentives to free-ride were held constant over 30 periods and where agents had to make a decision between cooperation and free-riding in each period. After each decision, agents received teammates’ contribution and earnings, which facilitates that agents identify whether their team members free-ride. Our findings show no effect for team identity on free-riding response to fear among women. However, team identity affects free-riding response to fear among men, which positively impacts cooperation sustainability.

The Impact

This chapter examines the factors behind the lack of progress in minimizing conflict, building peace, and improving security for women in conflict-affected environments. It reviews how cycles of conflict have been described in mainstream conflict analysis, which often include ill-conceived and temporary approaches to conflict management. The chapter explores where gender has been situated in these analyses, as well as the impact of adding gender data in operationalizing conflict responses, as opposed to engaging in a more thorough feminist analysis. This chapter then offers suggestions for broadening the mainstream approach by integrating a more fruitful gender analysis that addresses integrating holistic understandings of gendered relationships within society as a whole. The chapter ends with a call to conceptualize both conflict and gender as complex and fluid in order to create a more accurate analysis and more nuanced responses.

Religiousvalues, as well as work-relatedattitudes and individualistic values appeared tohave little bearing on childbearing intentions, while various attitudes towards childrenwere related to intentions to have (more) children. In addition, a conservativefamilistic attitude was related to intentions as well as gender role attitudes. The impactof values and attitudes varied by parity, providing support to the nation thatchildbearing decisions are made sequentially".

AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi pelaksanaan pendidikan responsif gender di Program Studi Pendidikan Teknik Elektronika Fakultas Teknik Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif. Teknik yang digunakan dalam analisis data adalah kondensasi dan analisis gender, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Analisis gender digunakan untuk pembahasan tentang aktivitas, manfaat, akses, manfaat dan dampak pendidikan responsif gender. Uji keabsahan data menggunakan triangulasi sumber dan triangulasi teknik. Hasil penelitian  menunjukkan bahwa : secara formal aktivitas pendidikan baik secara fasilitas, perlakuan pendidik, pelayanan administrasi, dan pembagain kelompok kerja telah responsif gender, tetapi secara individu masih terjadi bias gender karena adanya stereotipe terhadap laki-laki dan perempuan. Manfaat bagi para mahasiswa perempuan, mereka merasa percaya diri dapat mengerjakan tugas kuliah dan praktik yang selama ini dianggap bagian laki-laki. Perempuan dan laki-laki memiliki akses yang sama dalam kegiatan perkuliahan. Namun dalam struktur kemahasiswaan, seperti dalam kepemimpinan ketua kelas masih selalu dipercayakan kepada laki-laki, sedangkan perempuan menjadi bendahara dan sekretaris dalam hal ini masih terlihat ada bias gender. Adanya bias gender dalam pendidikan menyebabkan turunnya minat mahasiswa, sehingga berdampak terhadap hasil belajar mahasiswa dan interaksi yang kurang harmonis antara laki-laki dan perempuan. Kata Kunci : Pendidikan Responsif Gender, Perempuan, KesetaraanAbstractThis study aims to identify the implementation of gender responsive education in the Electronic Engineering Education Study Program, Faculty of Engineering, Yogyakarta State University. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Techniques used in data analysis are condensation and gender analysis, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Gender analysis is used for discussion of activities, benefits, access, benefits and impacts of gender responsive education. Test the validity of the data using source triangulation and technique triangulation.The results of his research: formally educational activities both in terms of facilities, educator treatment, administrative services, and the division of work groups have been gender responsive, but individually gender bias still occurs because of the stereotypes of men and women. Benefits for female students, they feel confident that they can work on college assignments and practices that so far have been considered male. Women and men have equal access to lecture activities. But in the student structure, such as in the leadership of the class leader is always entrusted to men, while women become treasurers and secretaries in this case there still seems to be a gender bias. The existence of gender bias in education causes a decrease in student interest, thus impacting student learning outcomes and interactions that are less harmonious between men and women. Keywords: Gender Responsive Education, Women, Equality

PurposeThis study asks the following research question: does “city” context interact with gender and gender egalitarianism (GE) to impact the positive (WFPOS – work–family positive spillover) and negative (WFC - work-family conflict) aspects of the work–family (WF) interface of working men and women in India.Design/methodology/approachMANCOVA analysis is used to examine data gathered from 250+ working men and women from eight different Indian cities that were ranked based on the 2018 Ease of Living (EOL) Index.FindingsThere was no significant main effect of gender on WF interface variables. Low levels of GE and low EOL were significantly associated with high levels of WFC and WFPOS. There was a significant interaction between gender, GE and city. An examination of within-gender differences indicated that in low-EOL cities, men and women with low values of GE (traditionals) had significantly higher time-based WFC than men and women with high values of GE (egalitarians). Additionally, traditional women reported higher WFPOS than egalitarian women. In high-EOL cities, traditional men reported significantly higher time-based WFC than egalitarian men. There were no significant differences between women.Research limitations/implicationsGender, along with gender-related attitudinal and contextual variables, does a better job of explaining variance in the WF interface as compared to gender alone. Results support the notion that high WFPOS and high WFC can co-occur in contexts of change and transition such as rapidly growing urban centers.Practical implicationsThe results have significance for work–family practitioners as well as urban city planners looking to improve the quality of work–life in India and other similar emerging market economies experiencing rapid urbanization.Originality/valueThe study extends work–family research by bringing aspects of urban planning and gender studies into an understanding of the work–family interface.

The Impact

While many studies investigate gender wage disparities, few have examined the impact of gender, education, part-time working and sector on earnings for men and women across different occupational groups and for different age groups. The purpose of this article is to undertake a more nuanced approach to further our understanding of the gender pay difference between men and women in different occupations in order to tackle and close this gap. The study’s findings suggest that the labour market is segmented into primary and secondary jobs. Additionally, the earnings returns for education are generally lower for women compared to men and women appear to fare better in the public sector in terms of a lower earnings gap for full-time and part-time employees and higher returns for education compared to women working in the private sector. The article concludes with a discussion of the policy implications.

Gender analysis is not only to determine the equality of public roles between men and women in conversational texts, reading texts in textbooks, but gender analysis can also be carried out on questions used by teachers to evaluate students. For this reason, the author will carry out a gender analysis on the school examination items in Arabic learning which are used to determine student graduation. This study aims to determine the number of questions contained in the gender variant, and whether the school exam questions presented are gender-biased. So that it can be used as evaluation material and can reconstruct evaluations that contain gender bias to become more gender responsive. This research uses a qualitative approach to library research. Data collection techniques using interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The data analysis technique was carried out in three stages, namely data collection, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The results of the research were: 1) questions containing gender equality consisted of 4 questions, gender neutral consisted of 30 questions, and gender bias consisted of 16 questions. 2) less than half of the school exam questions are gender bias oriented with a percentage of 32%.

PurposeResearch suggests that the Great Recession of 2007–2009 led to nearly 5000 excess suicides in the United States. However, prior work has not accounted for seasonal patterning and unique suicide trends by age and gender.MethodsWe calculated monthly suicide rates from 1999 to 2013 for men and women aged 15 and above. Suicide rates before the Great Recession were used to predict the rate during and after the Great Recession. Death rates for each age-gender group were modeled using Poisson regression with robust variance, accounting for seasonal and nonlinear suicide trajectories.ResultsThere were 56,658 suicide deaths during the Great Recession. Age- and gender-specific suicide trends before the recession demonstrated clear seasonal and nonlinear trajectories. Our models predicted 57,140 expected suicide deaths, leading to 482 fewer observed than expected suicides (95% confidence interval −2079, 943).ConclusionsWe found little evidence to suggest that the Great Recession interrupted existing trajectories of suicide rates. Suicide rates were already increasing before the Great Recession for middle-aged men and women. Future studies estimating the impact of recessions on suicide should account for the diverse and unique suicide trajectories of different social groups.
