Download or read book Gender Lifespan and Quality of Life written by Elizabeth Eckermann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-11 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication addresses the gender dimensions of people’s lived experience and emphasizes how gender relationships differentially impact on women’s and girls’ as well as men’s and boys’ subjective well-being across the lifespan. It therefore fills a significant gap in the literature on quality of life and subjective well-being. The book brings together research which compares female’s and male’s subjective experiences of well-being at various life stages from a variety of countries and regions, particularly focusing on women’s subjective well-being. Sex-disaggregation of data on objective conditions of quality of life is now routinely undertaken in many countries of the world. However, despite the burgeoning of objective data on sex differences in life conditions across the world, very little gender analysis is carried out to explain fully such difference and there is still a serious dearth of data on gender differences in subjective experiences of quality of life and well-being. This publication will assist researchers, teachers, service providers and policy makers in filling some of the gaps in currently available literature on the nexus between age and gender in producing differential experiences of subjective wellbeing.
Download or read book Towards gender equality A review of evidence on social safety nets in Africa written by Peterman, Amber and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2020-01-08 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade, social safety nets (SSNs) have rapidly expanded in Africa, becoming a core strategy for addressing poverty, responding to shocks, increasing productivity and investing in human capital. Poverty, vulnerability and well-being have inherent gender dimensions, yet only recently has gender equality been considered as a potential program objective. This study reviews the evidence on the impact of SSNs on women’s wellbeing in Africa, while contributing to an understanding of how SSNs affect gender equality. We first motivate and take stock of how gender shapes the design and effectiveness of SSNs in Africa. We then summarize evidence from rigorous impact evaluations of SSNs on women’s wellbeing across five key domains from 38 studies on 28 SSN programs across 17 countries. We find substantial evidence that, in many instances, SSNs decrease intimate partner violence and increase psychological wellbeing for women, as well as moderate evidence that SSNs increase dietary diversity and economic standing. We find minimal evidence that SSNs improve women’s food security and nutrition; however, few studies measure these outcomes for women. Finally, a substantial body of evidence reports on the impact of SSNs on women’s empowerment and intra-household bargaining power, however, with weak and mixed results. Our findings are generally promising, since most SSNs are not designed specifically to increase women’s wellbeing. However, the results show that household-level impacts do not automatically imply individual women benefit, and further that conclusions from global evidence reviews do not necessarily apply in Africa. There is little research that rigorously identifies the design features and impact pathways from SSNs to gender equality and women’s wellbeing, suggesting a priority for future research.

Download or read book Gender and Health written by Madhu Nagla and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In India, the relationship between gender and health is complex. The gender inequality that is entrenched in India's social structure and manifested through patriarchal system has put women in an unequal position in terms of health indicators. This has deep implications for the health and development of children. Gender and Health contains a collection of articles that critically reflect upon the current status of gender inequalities in health, and it develops an agenda for future research. The book examines, within the broader context of women's health, issues pertaining to their rights, medical encounters, and the different laws created to meet their health needs, specifically reproductive and mental health needs. The way forward is to mainstream gender equality concerns in the formulation of health policy and practice. The book's focus is to present a combination of theoretic frameworks and empirical realities on India's gender and health debate.
Download or read book Measuring Gender Equality written by Enrico di Bella and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-31 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this open access book, the editors explicitly address the issue of measuring gender equality. The book introduces readers to basic concepts of gender equality, equity and equal opportunities, then discusses measuring these phenomena, the methods of constructing indicators, and reviews the main indicators that have been proposed at the international level to measure gender equality. It then sets the theoretical discussions against the findings from a Jean Monnet project financed by the European Union to highlight the importance of a regional analysis of gender equality in four main study areas: Italy, Spain, France and Germany. The results make it clear that it is necessary to move from the purely national perspective hitherto used in gender equality analyses to a regional one because differences can be highly pronounced even within the same country. This is a self-contained volume requiring limited statistical expertise for the reader and is aimed at social researchers and policymakers who wish to address gender equality from a quantitative perspective.
