Différences de genre et formes de dépendances des conjoints biactifs dans l'accompagnement des enfants
2011
International audience; L'approche des différences de genre dans la mobilité a été renouvelée à partir des années 2000 par l'attention portée aux formes d'interdépendance entre conjoints pour leurs déplacements quotidiens. Dans ce travail mobilisant l'enquête ménages-déplacements d'Île-de-France, nous en avons relevé deux types à partir de l'analyse de l'accompagnement des enfants des conjoints de couples de biactifs. D'une part, il y a un effet d'entraînement. Lorsqu'un conjoint fait de l'accompagnement, l'autre a une probabilité plus forte d'en faire également. D'autre part, les conjoints se distribuent entre eux l'accompagnement avant travail et après travail. Toutefois, l'interdépendanc…
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…
Adam Smith and the family
2008
This paper examines Adam Smith’s vision of family life and the role of the family in society as it stems from the Theory of Moral Sentiments. We first discuss textual evidences of Smith’s vision of gender differences and of the relationships between the sexes. Then we turn to TMS’s analysis of marriage and family life, exploring the importance of sentiments in strengthening family bonds and in fostering individuals’ moral education. Then we enlarge our perspective, considering Smith’s view on the role of the family within society, especially as market and non market relationships are concerned. Finally, we focus on Smith’s vision of the possible threats which life in Commercial societies ma…
Is Board Gender Diversity a Driver of CEO Compensation?: Examining the Leadership Style of Institutional Women Directors
2017
In this investigation, we aim at examining the influence of institutional female directors on CEO compensation. Specifically, we investigate the impact of institutional female directors as a whole, differentiating by whether female directors have business ties with the firms’ boards on which they sit (pressure-sensitive female directors) or do not have business links (pressure-resistant female directors). We hypothesize that there is a nonlinear association, specifically quadratic, between institutional, pressureresistant and pressure-sensitive female directors on boards, and CEO compensation. Our findings show that CEO compensation decreases with low levels of institutional female director…
Communicative Strategies from Cyberfemism: @Feminismosmad and the Twitter Diffusion of the 8m Strike in Madrid
2020
Resumen Tanto desde el ámbito académico como desde el movimiento feminista se discute el alcance y la relevancia de las nuevas herramientas digitales para la subversión de la agenda, el cambio en los sistemas políticos occidentales y, en suma, el fin de las desigualdades entre géneros (Zafra, 2011; Núñez Puente, 2011). Mediante un análisis cuantitativo y entrevistas semiestructuradas, estudiamos el uso de Twitter por parte de @FeminismosMad. Este perfil se enfocó en explicar la Huelga feminista, así como en motivar la participación de la ciudadanía en las diferentes actividades organizadas durante el proceso del 8M. Abstract The scope and relevance of new digital tools for subverting the do…
What Purpose, if any, could a Feminine Theory of Education serve Today?
2015
The aim of this paper is to depict the contours of a feminine theory of education within the epistemological framework of phenomenology. Actually, in spite of the fact that a widespread appeal to the many aspects of feminist epistemology has so far been developed mainly in other branches of human sciences as well in many studies of the history of education and pedagogical methods, considerable benefits can be gained also for the sake of a theory of education. It is argued that the seminal project of Women Studies – fighting women’s invisibility and exclusion also from the work of producing thought – together with the phenomenological account of personhood and, in particular, of human body c…
Dentro il processo: narrazioni, numeri e spazi del femminicidio nel discorso giudiziario
2020
Il saggio espone i primi risultati di una ricerca sulle rappresentazioni del femminicidio in ambito giudiziario in Italia, illustrandone il quadro teorico, le scelte metodologiche, l’impianto analitico, gli strumenti. Le problematiche connesse all’uso del termine femminicidio sono esplorate ponendo al centro il processo normativo, esplorandone i significati sociali e questionando gli ancoraggi politici e economici, attraverso il modello del “campo giuridico”. Mediante l’analisi di un corpus di 370 sentenze, andate in giudizio tra il 2010 e il 2016 e attraverso la conduzione di 30 interviste ad altrettanti testimoni privilegiati il discorso giuridico sulla violenza di genere è criticamente s…
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…
“I due volti di Eva”. L’educazione al femminile nella filmografia italiana degli anni Cinquanta.
2018
Attraverso lo studio della filmografia italiana degli anni Cinquanta, è possibile ricostruire le identità di genere che, in un tempo così attraversato da profonde trasformazioni, si andavano ridefinendo. Infatti, in questo periodo nasceva e si sviluppava il cinema di massa, che diventava il principale terreno di azione culturale: strumento di costruzione dell’identità collettiva ed esperienza condivisa che creava legami, esso era soprattutto uno spazio educativo. In particolare, il cinema registrava il profondo mutamento in corso dell’identità femminile e del rapporto tra i generi, a volte ostacolandolo, altre volte anticipandolo o favorendolo. I due generi cinematografici più popolari di q…
Représentations professionnelles des filles et des garçons au collège : les effets d'une pièce de théâtre interactive
2002
Programmes were launched in the French region of Burgundy in order to increase the understanding of the social and cultural obstacles for women in terms of occupational fields, considered a priori as male dominated. As part of this programme, the Compagnie du Sablier performed an interactive theatre play called "Lucie, the technician" ; it was aimed at an audience of lower secondary school pupils. It tells the story of a young girl determined to choose a male dominated occupation, and challenges young people to consider their career choice. The purpose of this study is to analyse the vocational representations of girls and boys, and to look at the pupils' visions of the world of work, in or…
