Abstract

As Nigeria faces the immediate challenge of stimulating economic recovery in the wake of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic and corresponding economic shocks, it also can address the sizable gender gaps that undermine women's economic empowerment and hinder inclusive economic growth. Gender disparities in earnings not only hold back the Nigerian economy, they also represent an opportunity: closing the gender gaps in key economic sectors could yield additional gains of US9.3 billion dollars or up to US22.9 billion dollars. Women's economic empowerment will also be key to accelerating a demographic transition and reaping the gains of a demographic dividend. Drawing on data from the most recent Nigeria General Household Survey (2018-2019), this report makes five critical contributions: (1) highlighting the gender gaps in labor force participation; (2) documenting the magnitude and drivers of the gender gaps in key economic sectors; (3) diving deep into three contextual constraints: land, livestock, and occupational segregation; (4) measuring the costs of the gender gaps; and (5) offering policy and programming recommendations of innovative options to close the gender gaps.

Abstract

Analyzing a range of ideas from biological, evolutionary and anthropological theories to a variety of feminist, psychoanalytic, poststructuralist and constructivist discourses, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to the problematics of gender and power in architectural and urban design. Topics range from conceptions of postulated matriarchal architecture in Old Europe to contemporary technologies of control; from the mechanisms of gaze to architectural performatives; from the under-representation of women in the planning profession to the integration of gender issues to t

Abstract

Dans L’architecture au féminin, Annmarie Adams et Peta Tancred dressent un portrait de l’ensemble des architectes canadiennes, depuis leur entrée dans la profession durant les années 1920 jusqu’aux années 1990, et soulignent le parcours de plusieurs de ces femmes architectes. En s’appuyant sur des documents originaux, incluant des données inédites, des dessins d’architectes, des projets réalisés et des entrevues, les auteures réfutent les idées reçues au sujet du rôle marginal dévolu aux femmes architectes. Elles révèlent comment plusieurs d’entre elles, notamment les Québécoises durant les années 1960, ont participé à la réalisation de projets d’envergure et joué un rôle de premier plan dans le développement de l’architecture tout en repoussant les frontières de la profession.
