Abstract

"Ownership and control over assets such as land and housing provide direct and indirect benefits to individuals and households, including a secure place to live, the means of a livelihood, protection during emergencies, and collateral for credit that can be used for investment or consumption. Unfortunately, few studies - either at the micro or macro levels- examine the gender dimensions of asset ownership. This paper sets out a framework for researchers who are interested in collecting data on individual level asset ownership and analyzing the gender asset gap. It reviews best practices in existing surveys with respect to data collection on assets at both the household and individual levels, and shows how various questions on individually owned assets can be incorporated with a minimum of effort and cost into existing multi-topic household surveys, using examples of three Living Standard Measurement Study surveys: the 1998-99 Ghana survey, the 2000 Guatemala survey, and the 1997-98 Vietnam survey questionnaires. The analysis shows that it is feasible to add a minimal set of questions to enable calculation of the gender asset gap. Adding a series of extra questions will permit a more satisfactory and nuanced analysis of asset acquisition, use, disposition, and valuation - information that is critical for policies promoting gender equality, poverty reduction, and economic growth.

Abstract

" Sexe " est l'un des mots de la langue française que les gens sans distinction de classe, de religion, d'apparence ou de profession, utilisent avec grand intérêt, qu'ils soient accoudés au zinc d'un bistrot ou à la paillasse d'un laboratoire de biologie moléculaire. Deux mises en scène distinctes, sociale ou scientifique ; deux scénarios différents : d'un côté, les histoires d'amour ou d'imaginaire sexuel, de l'autre, les recherches biologiques. Sous ce mot de " sexe ", notre langue, si riche, produit une polysémie bien fâcheuse. L'ambition de ce volume, qui rassemble les contributions de chercheurs et chercheuses en sciences de la vie et en sciences humaines et sociales est de faire le point sur les connaissances concernant le sexe biologique et ses variations, dont on sait désormais qu'il ne permet pas de séparer les individus en deux catégories bien distinctes. Ce livre veut aussi évaluer l'impact du genre sur le développement du corps des êtres sexués et sur la construction de leur identité. Enfin, il cherche à apprécier dans quelle mesure les croyances liées au genre (bicatégorisation mâle-femelle stricte, supériorité masculine) ont pu influencer les recherches menées sur le sexe biologique. Et les témoignages de personnes intersexes et transgenres apportent sur la question de l'identité sexuée un éclairage complémentaire qui bouscule les " réponses " que donnent le plus souvent la médecine et le droit.

Abstract

Wie sollen pädagogische Fachkräfte in Kitas mitdem Thema Geschlecht umgehen? Vor der Folie von frühpädagogischen Geschlechterdebatten bietet diese Studie einen empirischen Einblick in Geschlechterkonstruktionen von Kindern, Fachkräften und Eltern im Alltag einer Kindertageseinrichtung. Des Weiteren werden theoretische und empirische Leerstellen einer frühpädagogischen Debatte um Geschlecht aufgezeigt, die entstehen, wenn diese lediglich vor der Folie von Geschlechtergerechtigkeit mit dem Ziel der Verbesserung von Chancengleichheit geführt wird. Die Studie gewährt viel mehr empirischen Einblick in die Geschlechterkonstruktionen von Fachkräften, Kindern  und Eltern. jugendhilfereport,  01.2017 Es ergeben sich diverse Anknüpfungspunkte für weitere Studien, um das beobachtete milieuspezifische Einzelsetting tiefergehend mit strukturellen Variablen zu kontextualisieren.

Abstract

"This report maps strategies, governance tools, institutional settings and innovative approaches used by governments across the OECD to drive and support society-wide gender equality goals. It covers all state institutions, including legislatures and judiciaries, and discusses the challenges faced by OECD countries in achieving long-lasting impact. Finally, the report provides policy guidance for state institutions, supported by examples of what works across the OECD. This report establishes a baseline for monitoring progress, based on the 2015 OECD Recommendation of the Council on Gender Equality in Public Life."--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

This manual provides gender audit facilitators with guidelines and practical instructions on how to plan and implement participatory gender audits in an organizational context. Structured chronologically, the manual is a step-by-step guide that provides the facilitators with a set of tools that help examine the extent to which equality is being institutionalized; identify good practices in technical work and point to effective and efficient ways of moving forward in mainstreaming gender in all work activities, thereby supporting an organization's commitment to gender equality.
