Las redes como factor clave para la consolidación de nuevas cooperativas de trabajo asociado
2015
En estos últimos años de crisis y destrucción de empleo, el interés por impulsar el dinamismo y crecimiento de la economía de un área geográfica a través de la creación de nuevas empresas ha ido en aumento. Las cooperativas de trabajo asociado (CTA) representan un modelo de empresa en el que los objetivos económicos se combinan con los sociales, logrando un crecimiento basado en el empleo, la igualdad social y la equidad. Las nuevas CTA necesitan conocimiento para su consolidación, una parte del cual proviene de la formación y experiencia de sus promotores, y otra de las relaciones de tipo interpersonal e interorganizacional dentro de su entorno económico y social. La supervivencia y crecim…
Dynamics of female labour force participation in France
2013
International audience; This article formulates and estimates a structural intertemporal model of labour force participation. Relying on theoretical characterizations derived from an economic model of lifetime behaviour, we estimate a dynamic probit model with correlated random effects using longitudinal data to allow for a dynamic structure. The model is applied to a panel of married women drawn from the 1997–2002 French Labour Force surveys in order to represent their participation behaviour. It is estimated by maximum simulated likelihood. Our results show that women’s decisions to go out to work are characterized by significant state dependence, unobserved heterogeneity and negative ser…
Formación en Inclusión y en Igualdad de Género en el Grado de Educación Social en las universidades españolas. Análisis Comparativo
2018
Si se tienen en cuenta las necesidades emergentes en el ámbito educativo, atendiendo a la agenda 2030 aprobada por la UNESCO y la ONU, cabría repasar los currículums formativos de aquellas profesiones ligadas a la educación. Así pues, en el presente estudio comparativo se ha revisado la formación inicial del grado de Educación Social en las universidades españolas con respecto a las asignaturas que tratan, aunque sea de manera parcial, la inclusión y la atención a la diversidad, y la igualdad y la perspectiva de género, aspectos directamente relacionados con algunas de las metas de la Agenda en materia de Educación. Las unidades comparativas han sido la totalidad de universidades que impart…
Le nuove sfide del femminismo in epoca neoliberale
2016
Il dibattito femminista attuale ha aperto un confronto con le nuove condizioni generate dalla razionalità neoliberale e sui suoi effetti su donne e uomini a livello globale. Questioni classiche, come libertà, eguaglianza, libertà di scelta e le forme attuali di soggettivazione in termini di femminilizzazione, precarizzazione, domesticazione devono essere analizzate attraverso le teorie e le pratiche della lotta femminista contro gli effetti che la governamentalità neoliberale produce sulle vite. L'articolo parte da alcuni questioni classiche del femminismo per verificare come queste possano essere problematizzate a partire dalle relazioni che intercorrono tra femminismo e neoliberalismo. To…
What is your couple type? Gender ideology, housework sharing and babies
2014
BACKGROUND It is increasingly acknowledged that not only gender equality, but also gender ideology plays a role in explaining fertility in advanced societies. In a micro perspective, the potential mismatch between gender equality (i.e. the actual sharing taking place in a couple) and gender ideology (i.e. gender equality in attitudes, as proxy for gender equity), may drive childbearing decisions. OBJECTIVE This paper assesses the impact of consistency between gender equality in attitudes and equality in the division of household labour on the likelihood of having another child, for different parities. METHODS Relying on two-wave panel data of the Bulgarian, French, Czech, Hungarian and Lith…

Agents of change: Women in top management and corporate environmental performance
2020
International audience; We analyze the influence of gender diversity in top management on the environmental performance of French firms. Consistent with gender socialization theory, which posits that women are raised from childhood to be more nurturing and compassionate for others, we find that firms with more women in top management exhibit higher environmental performance. This result extends those already reported in the literature regarding the effect of gender diversity at board level. We also show that women in top management are associated with several key indicators such as development of eco‐friendly products and commitment to resource reduction. Furthermore, we find that the influ…
Civic Participation and Gender Beliefs: An Analysis of 46 Countries
2016
Gender equality has progressed a great deal in recent decades in response to modernisation, industrialisation, and the generally rising level of education. A transformation in gender beliefs has accompanied the progress on gender equality and beliefs about gender roles have mainly changed in countries in North America and Europe, while in Muslim and Asian countries they have remained the same. The analysis in this article focuses on civic participation and investigates its relation to equalitarian gender beliefs. Multi-level regression models and data from World Values Survey (WVS) collected from 46 countries in 2005 allow depicting the relationships. The findings show that membership in ci…
Are byline biases an issue of the past? The effect of author’s gender and emotion norm prescriptions on the evaluation of news articles on gender equ…
2021
When female journalists write about issues of gender equality, they often become the target of incivility and their work is devaluated. Research has investigated such devaluations based on journalists’ gender under the scope of byline biases, analysing if it matters to readers whether a news piece is authored by a male or female journalist. In this paper, we set out to study if gender byline biases occur when journalists write about gender equality. As gender attributions become particularly salient through the presentation of gendered emotion norms, we also inquire in how it matters for readers’ interest in reading such an article and the attributed credibility of the author when an artic…
