The Relationship

Corruption remains one of the main problems of Post-Soviet states. Georgia, Belarus, Lithuania, and Latvia are doing relatively well compared to other Post-Soviet states. Popular explanations for high corruption rates are underdevelopment of democratic institutions and the limitation of human rights. However, the lack of women’s participation can be also another factor that could explain the widespread corruption level. According to popular stereotypes, women are considered as more honest and “fairer” gender, which has an impact on the decrease in corruption rate. There is a belief that women have a perception of risk aversion which makes them less likely to engage in corrupt activities. There is no consensus regarding whether women’s participation has an effect on reducing corruption. The purpose of this paper is to test to what extent women’s participation in parliament, school and or with tertiary education, labor force affects corruption rate in Post-Soviet states. The SPSS software was used to assess a relationship between aforementioned variables. According to findings, there is a strong, positive, and statistically significant impact of women enrollment in school and/or with tertiary education on a country’s score in the Corruption Perception Index. I argue that promoting women’s education is the best way to lower corruption in the post-Soviet states.

The Relationship

Growth in the labor force is one of the determinants of a nation’s maximum sustainable, or potential, rate of economic expansion. However, in the period of study in this paper, the relationship between women’s participation in the labor force of Nigeria and economic growth is inverse and insignificant. This is attributed to the level of economic development, social norms, education levels, fertility rates and other factors. From policy perspectives therefore educational opportunities for the girl child should be extended to the nooks and crannies of the country so as to enhance socio-economic family planning techniques and methods to reduce the burden of women in the labour force. In the same vein, employers should be encouraged to give all gender equal opportunity and chance to pursue their potentials especially if they have potentials required for a particular job. However, particular attention should be focused on men by enlightening them on the essence of encouraging their spouses on any career they may choose as long as it does not affected the family in any way.

The approach in this paper is to explore the relationship between corruption perception index (CPI) and human development index (HDI) in order to determine whether or not poor countries resort to corrupt practices as a way of getting over their level of hopelessness. The results show that corruption poses a problem to all countries and consequently to world economic development.

Over Time

A study has been carried out on the evolution in recent years (2009-2018) of the interaction between citizens and public administrations in the European Union, as well as the relationship between transparency and e-government. It is also analysed whether those countries where the development of e-government is greater have more transparency and less corruption. The existence of a directly proportional relationship between corruption, measured through the corruption perception index (the higher the value of the index, the less corruption), and the development of e-government has been confirmed. On average, the greater the transparency in the management of public resources in the governments of the European Union, the lower the public's perception of corruption. This ratio is higher in 2009 than in 2018, so that the effect of e-government on corruption attenuates over time, showing that more factors need to be considered in order to explain the perception of corruption.

Mobile media, which comprise the main features of other media, can potentially influence many social issues. This time-series study aims to investigate the relationship between the mobile penetration rate and the growing divorce rate in Iran from 1995 to 2019. To specify the relationship, women’s participation in the labor force as a powerful social variable affecting the divorce rate was considered and modeled in the analysis. More specifically, the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) method was employed to measure the short and long-term relationships. The results indicated a significant positive relationship between the mobile penetration rate and the divorce rate in both short- and long-term periods; however, women’s participation in the labor force was not associated with the divorce rate.

ABSTRACTThis research aims to revisit the relationship between two cultural dimensions index (masculinity and power distance) and corruption – as indicated in the Corruption Perception Index (CPI). Two hypotheses were proposed: An increase in the masculinity index increases corruption and an increase in the power distance index increases corruption. Using the latest CPI data from 2012 to 2016 of 67 countries, this research found that the increase in masculinity does not significantly increase corruption. Meanwhile, it is noticed that the increase in power distance significantly increases corruption. Better understanding on such relationship will provide valuable input on how cultural approach is important to fine tune the design of corruption eradication strategy, particularly in Indonesia.At the end, proper strategy will contribute the improvement of Indonesia’s CPI, which will eventually improving Indonesia’s business environment for the investo

The article highlights the experience of foreign countries in organizing anti-corruption proceedings. In particular, the experience of countries such as Croatia, Bulgaria, Indonesia, Uganda, the Philippines and Slovakia was studied. The key features of regulating the activities of anticorruption courts are analyzed and the shortcomings of their activities are presented. The problem of corruption in Ukrainian society and the negative consequences it can lead to are highlighted. Thus, as of 2020, Ukraine ranks 117th in the world in the corruption perception index. This characterizes Ukraine as one of the most corrupt countries in Europe, and, at the same time, points to the cause of the crisis in society today. In our study, we analyzed key errors in determining the jurisdiction and organization of anti-corruption courts in foreign countries, which are likely to be repeated in Ukraine. Emphasis is placed on the relationship between the rating of a country's corruption perception index and the presence of an anti-corruption court in its judicial system. Thus, the authors emphasize the expediency of introducing the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court in Ukraine as a way to introduce European standards in Ukraine. At the same time, the article emphasizes the need to implement ways to overcome such shortcomings. Based on the fact that such courts are the most responsible - they also have very high risks. Thus, we propose a way to eliminate all possible risks by deriving the most optimal aspects of the organization of anti-corruption proceedings in foreign countries. The paper pays special attention to the structural change of the domestic model of combating corruption offenses. The introduction of foreign experience in Ukraine will create an effective state mechanism for detecting and combating corruption, which, in turn, will significantly improve not only the financial and economic situation of Ukraine, but also restore public confidence in the domestic legal system and public authorities.

The Relationship

Logistics performance of a country plays an important role within both economic and social developments. Therefore examining the relationship among the logistic performance, corruption and foreign trade volume of a country would contribute to the literature. Logistics Performance Index (LPI) has firstly been issued byWorld Bank in 2007 and continued in the years 2010, 2012, 2014. In this paper the mediator effect of Logistics Performance Index (LPI) on the relation between Corruption Perception Index (CPI) and Foreign Trade Volume (FTV) analyzed for the years 2007, 2010, 2012, 2014. The hierarchical regression analysis method was used in order to determine the mediator effect. As per the analysis results, the mediator effect of LPI on the relation between CPI and FTV is statistically significant. Consequently it could be suggested that the logistics ability of a country trigger the relation between corruption and foreign trade volume.
