It is known that many gender inequality occurred  in society are assumed to arise because there is a gender bias in education, including religious education. As an example of gender bias in the curriculum of Islam among the materials about the origin of human events, the obligation to pray in congregation, the provisions of polygamy, spousal function in marriage. In an effort to realize the religious understanding of the nature of gender, then it should be required revisions to matters of gender bias in textbooks of the Islamic religion. It should be stressed also awareness about the value of education gender perspective to all parties, especially the author and editor of books on the fact that the curriculum is not gender neutral. Meanwhile, for the religious teachers are required to be more critical and sensitive in identifying and examine all matters relating to gender inequality in the learning process that takes place in their daily work.

Compilation of Islamic laws (KHI) consists of some gender bias points such as point of Wali, Saksi, Nusyuz, Polygamy as well as wife-husband’s right and obligation.  It is not only causing various religious understanding which are bias but also to the marriage practice and to the asymmetrical pattern of relation. Those, further, may result in gender inequality problems of which women (mostly wives) and children are the most vulnerable group to experience the problems although men may experience that such kind of problems. Fiqh as the product of Ulama’s interpretation and judgment toward normative doctrines (Qur’an and Hadith) are influenced by socio-cultural and political setting under patriarchal social system. Nurture theory on women and men’ social role contributes also to the marginalization and sub-ordination toward women in husband-wife relation in the family. Then, Counter Legal Draft (CLD) that is compiled by gender mainstreaming working group of Ministry of Religious Affairs (DEPAG) is an alternative Marital Laws formula which are more considering women and marginalized minority group.

Gender stereotypes and related gender discrimination are encoded in and transmitted through language, contributing to gender inequality. In this article, we review research findings on subtle linguistic means of communicating gender stereotypes and gender hierarchies. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive repository of various instances of subtle linguistic biases potentially useful in creating a text analysis toolbox to quantify gender bias in language. Our focus is predominantly on those areas that have received less attention both in research and in policy making. As gender inequalities are communicated through linguistic practices, attempts to change social reality include changes in language. Therefore, we suggest possible interventions for practices of gender equality in language.

Education Gap

Education is a critical factor in achieving social equality, including gender equality. For this reason, ensuring equality in the provision of education should not only be a social priority but something natural and obvious. This topic was the subject of considerable debate among scholars for many decades. The beginnings of the struggle for equality of women are based primarily on the battle for access to education, which was essential in this regard. Therefore the gender education gap is decreasing, and nowadays, contemporary rarely persists in educated countries. As a result of the struggle of feminists, today, women around the Globe are more educated than at any point in history. Nevertheless, the phenomena such as “gender inequality” or “gender gap” understood more broadly than education, are still relevant problems. Thereby, men are still more educated and privileged. The problem is not only the degree of accessibility to education but also its content. Yet, current gender inequality is the result of super imposed stereotypical patterns, as well as prejudices and discriminations embodied in the system. This article was written to introduce the issue of gender inequality in education. The given research problem in this study is as follows: where do gender inequalities in education become apparent? The aim of the study is to overview the current state of knowledge. Exploring this topic is crucial because this phenomenon has many negative consequences. This article aims to present the initial characteristics of the problem and draw attention to the issue. The method used is a literature review.

Religious Understanding

The curriculum, both in religious and secular educations, generally tends to emphasize men's role in public spheres and highlights women's role in domestic arena. The content of curriculum, for instant, contains gender biased pictures, sentences or illustrations. The curriculum in religious education is also similar: there is an obvious tendency to maintain gender bias due to the authors' conviction that the books they refer to (fiqih books) are sacred, already final and unchangeable. Religious text books, thus, tend to maintain women subordination. In order to develop gender sensitive religious understanding, then, there is a need to revise religious text books that include gender bias. The revision is important because this gender biased religious understanding has become common understanding in society. This is because Muslim society attempt to understand their religious teachings dogmatically. They do not use a critical approach in understanding religious norms particularly the ones they accommodate in the text books related to women's status and role.

Traditional Gender Roles

In many societies across the globe, females are still underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM fields), although they are reported to have higher grades in high school and college than males. The present study was guided by the assumption that the sustainability of higher education critically rests on the academic success of both male and female students under conditions of equitable educational options, practices, and contents. It first assessed the persistence of familiar patterns of gender bias (e.g., do competencies at enrollment, serving as academic precursors, and academic performance favor females?) in college students of a society in transition from a gender-segregated workforce with marked gender inequalities to one whose aims at integrating into the global economy demand that women pursue once forbidden careers thought to be the exclusive domain of men. It then examined how simple indices of academic readiness, as well as preferences for fields fitting traditional gender roles, could predict attainment of key competencies and motivation to graduate (as measured by the average number of credits completed per year) in college. As expected, females had a higher high school GPA. Once in college, they were underrepresented in a major that fitted traditional gender roles (interior design) and over-represented in one that did not fit (business). Female students’ performance and motivation to graduate did not differ between the male-suited major of business and the female-suited major of interior design. Male students’ performance and motivation to graduate were higher in engineering than in business, albeit both majors were gender-role consistent. Although high school GPA and English proficiency scores predicted performance and motivation for all, preference for engineering over business also predicted males’ performance and motivation. These findings offered a more complex picture of patterns of gender bias, thereby inspiring the implementation of targeted educational interventions to improve females’ motivation for and enrollment in STEM fields, nowadays increasingly available to them, as well as to enhance males’ academic success in non-STEM fields such as business.

AbstractThis paper studies the distribution of resources within Albanian families in 2012 using a collective consumption model with two alternative specifications: the first enables the estimation of the intrahousehold distribution of resources among male adults, female adults and children; the second extends the analysis to girls and boys. In line with previous evidence on gender inequality in Albania, the results show that the female share of resources is substantially lower with respect to the male share, and that sons receive a larger share of resources than daughters. Considering that Albania experienced massive migration and return of young men in the 20 years before the survey, we further analyze the potential migration-induced transfer of gender norms. We find that the time spent abroad by the husband of the main couple has little influence on woman’s relative position within the households, however it does seem to favor a more equal treatment between daughters and sons. This result suggests that gender norms are more persistent in adult couples, however gender attitudes towards offspring are more elastic to social change.

Ideal Woman

Purpose Since liberalization in the 1990s, India has witnessed a growth in the number of educated middle-class women in professions. However, there are few women in leadership positions and decision-making bodies. While the earlier notion of the ideal woman as homemaker has been replaced by one which idealizes women of substance, a woman’s role in the family continues to be pivotal and is even viewed as central in defining Indian culture. The purpose of this paper is to analyze how and to what extent gender inequalities are reproduced in the organizations employing educated professionals. Design/methodology/approach Based on the perspective that gender is socially constructed, this paper analyzes gender inequality in Indian organizations through semi-structured interviews of men and women scientists in two private pharmaceutical laboratories. Findings The findings show reproduction of a gendered normative order through two types of norms and practices: one, norms and practices that favor men and second, socio-cultural norms that devalue women in public spaces which help to maintain masculinity in the workplace. Although these practices might be found elsewhere in the world, the manner in which they are enacted reflects national cultural norms. Originality/value The paper highlights how various norms and practices enacted in the specific Indian socio-cultural context construct and maintain masculinity at workplace depriving opportunities to professional women which affect their rise to leadership positions.
