The aim of the study was to make regional comparisons based on the selected indicators of intellectual capital in high-tech project-oriented companies in Russia. To achieve this goal, three clusters of regions of the Russian Federation were developed using the k-average method for intellectual capital components in high-tech project-oriented companies, obtained as a result of implementing a factor analysis of three groups of indicators: human capital, information and reputation capital, and capital of intellectual labor achievements. The subjects with the highest and lowest levels of intellectual capital in high-tech project-oriented companies as an object of management are identified. The highest level of intellectual capital in high-tech project-oriented companies was registered in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Tomsk Region, Khabarovsk Territory, and the Republic of Tatarstan. In these subjects, the highest values are noted for most of the selected indicators. The worst situation in terms of the level of intellectual capital in high-tech project-oriented companies was in the companies of the Republics of Dagestan, Karachay-Cherkess, Tyva and Chechen. The methods of correlation analysis, multidimensional classification, and data visualization were used as statistical tools in the research process. MS Excel and IBM SPSS Statistics application packages were used for statistical data processing.

Addressing the gender issue is particularly relevant for independent States that have entered the path of market transformation. Today, changes in all spheres of our life require a new look at the role of women in the development of the state and society. The achievement of gender equality ensures the effectiveness of the current family policy, since it helps to strengthen the role and contribution of women and men to the development of the family institution. Addressing women's issues and democratizing society are two interrelated processes. Their essence is that in addition to ensuring equal opportunities for men and women, the prerequisites can be created for the emergence of new forms of expression and realization of women's interests in all spheres of life. It is stated by the authors that in Kazakhstan, it is important to form an individual approach to the formation of family policy, as the family plays an important role among all social institutions that affect the quality of human capital.

Stating that social action aimed at achieving a higher degree of equality between men and women is necessary and useful, the author questions the validity of the approach in the recently adopted Law on Gender Equality that tries to establish gender equality, among other things, by forced intervention in the language sphere, through imposing the application of the so-called "gender-sensitive language". Despite the fact that such an approach could hardly contribute to actual equality, this forced intervention in the language sphere is the violation of the language as a segment of intangible cultural heritage, which is contrary to the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia and a number of international acts. Fortunately, the provisions of the Law on Gender Equality regarding the application of gender-sensitive language are inaccurate, unclear and full of internal contradictions to such an extent that it can be said that they are not applicable.

Despite New Zealand's real progress toward gender equality over the past century, women remain under-represented in the country's senior legal positions. Disparities between men and women are not unique to the legal profession. They are particularly problematic, however, given that the law aims to pursue justice, and equal opportunity should be its paramount concern. This article examines some of the obstacles and constraints women face in attaining leadership roles in the New Zealand legal profession. Preliminary solutions to remedy these obstacles and constraints are proposed, including a necessary recognition that many female professionals offer distinct experiences and have different needs to their male counterparts.

Achieving gender equality is important for sustainable socio-economic development of the country. The significance of this problem is also reflected in the Sustainable Development Goals, namely, achieve gender equality (Goal 5). While the Republic of Belarus pays great attention to solving gender problems, inequality in the labor market is persisting. In particular, gender differences in the distribution of paid and care-related work still exist. Therefore, it is important to study and identify the differences in the time budget of employed men and women in the Republic of Belarus, with assessing the unpaid household services and their recording in national accounts. The article is devoted to the analysis of the time use structure in the Republic of Belarus, with determining the differences in the distribution of paid and unpaid work between men and women and assessing the housework that is “invisible” for a market economy. The study is based on the methodological approaches of the System of National Accounts and the updated international standards on labor statistics. Data from time-use surveys and sample household surveys on employment issues are used as the information base of our study. It is shown that the total daily working day of women lasts 68 minutes longer than the working day of men, which is explained by the fact that women spend twice longer time on housework than men. The unpaid work (services produced inside households) is valuated by the cost approach using the methods of full, specialized replacement and opportunity costs. The estimated scopes of the household work “invisible” for a market economy range from 12.6% to 20.5% of Gross Domestic Products in 2018. Future studies should focus on the assessment of the women’s contribution in the national economy, with inclusion of their housework and the household output for own final consumption in the traditional macroeconomic indicators.

The paper deals with the concept of wasaṭīyah (moderation) as an ethical framework for community making and its impact on the pursuit of gender equality. Qur’an 2:143 speaks about the correlation between making a fair community (al-ummah al-wasaṭ) and piety, which is inclusive of both men and women. As both terms are intertwined, any efforts to discuss wasaṭīyah must include how Muslims relate to God and how this relationship is exercised in all areas of their lives. Given that this intersection is a matter of ethics, my paper will demonstrate that wasaṭīyah affords the inclusion of both genders as ethical agents in the pursuit of a fair community. I first discuss how the ethics of wasaṭīyah provide a framework for community building by drawing some parallels between Prophet Muhammad’s creation of a fair and inclusive community and how Muslims could embody God’s message within themselves and their communities. I then show how including women in the community-making process echoes both the Islamic ethics of moderation and the value of women as ethical agents.
