Employment stability and mental health in Spain: towards understanding the influence of gender and partner/marital status
2018
Background: The growing demand for labour flexibility has resulted in decreasing employment stability that could be associated with poor mental health status. Few studies have analysed the whole of the work force in considering this association since research on flexible forms of employment traditionally analyses employed and unemployed people separately. The gender division of work, and family characteristics related to employment situation, could modify its association with mental wellbeing. The objective of the study was to examine the relationship between a continuum of employment stability and mental health taking into account gender and partner/marital status. Methods: We selected 685…

Filipa K.Dika romānu interpretācija feministiskā skatījumā ("Vai androīdi sapņo par elektriskām aitām?" un "Cilvēks augstajā pilī")
2020
Filips K. Diks ir slavens zinātniskās fantastikas rakstnieks. Zinātniskās fantastikas žanrs bieži tiek mērķēts uz vīriešu auditoriju. Šekojošā pētījuma mērķis ir dzimuma attēlojums romānā “Vai androīdi sapņo par elektriskām aitām?”. Pētījuma galvenā empīriskā metode ir teksta analīze. Galvenā analīzes forma ir feministiskā literatūras kritika, kas vērsta uz zinātnisko fantastiku. Tas ietver dzimuma izpēti kā analīzes veidu, galveno uzmanību pievēršot dzimumu lomām, tā attēlojumam un seksualitātei. Pētījuma rezultātā tika atklāts, ka sieviešu personāžiem bija mazāk daudzveidīgi stāsti, salīdzinot ar vīriešu varoņiem, un to personāži tika attēloti daudz empātiskāki nekā vīrieši, neatkarīgi no…

Women as main earners in Europe
2014
This paper conducts a cross-sectional empirical research aimed at documenting that couples with women as main earners represent a non-negligible share of the European populations today. We identify the socio-demographic characteristics of couples with women as main earners in comparison to couples with men as main earners and couples with equal-earners. We undertake a comparative and cross-temporal approach using micro-level survey data for 18 European countries from the European Social Survey and two years, 2004 and 2010, covering the period before and during the economic crisis.
Does the Culture of Honor do well in Poland? A Replication Study on the Culture of Honor while Accounting For Gender Role Differences
2019
This paper deals with the issue of honor culture in Poland. In a traditional honor culture, honorable men should be sensitive to situations where their honor is defiled. They should also be ready to defend their good name (Cohen and Nisbett, 1997), even if it means using violence. In such a culture women cannot actively defend their honor. The authors checked the gender role differences (both in actor and observer perspective) in attitudes towards honorable behaviors. The paper presents two experiments, analyzed with repeated ANOVA measures. In the first study, which is a replication of the research conducted by Szmajke (1999), men and women (N = 156) evaluated a letter written by an “honor…
Microfinance and women empowerment : to what extent has access to loans led to a change in gender responsibilities at the household level: a case stu…
2014
Master thesis in development management - University of Agder 2014 Microfinance has been recognized internationally as a great strategy in promoting women’s empowerment. Currently development practitioners, international donors, policy makers, Governments, and Non-governmental organizations have introduced microfinance programs to reach out with financial services to the low-income earners, especially women. This is based on the conception that women have better repayment records and also if credit is placed in women’s hands, it leads to improvement in the wellbeing of entire household. This study therefore aimed at assessing the extent to which access to loans by women can lead to a change…
Análisis de la ley de protección a la maternidad desde la perspectiva de género
2010
La Ley 6/2009 de 20 de junio de la Generalitat de Protección a la Maternidad representa un retroceso en el avance hacia la plena igualdad en ambos sexos, y reproduce cuantos estereotipos de género existen alrededor del nacimiento y crianza de las/os hijas/os. No es sencilla la tarea de elaborar propuestas y políticas sociales exentas de estos rasgos, debido a la base cultural que representan, pero no por ello, se deben de dejar pasar por alto. El análisis de dicha ley, desarrollado a continuación, se realiza con perspectiva de género y desde el trabajo social, teniendo en cuenta las necesidades de las familias y los recursos existentes. The Law 6 / 2009 of June 20 published by the Generalit…
