Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Government of Jordan has strengthened its commitment in recent years to gender equality and women's social and economic empowerment through Jordan's Renaissance Plan 2019-2020 and more recently through the preparation of the Women's Economic Empowerment Action Plan under the Mashreq Gender Facility. Furthermore, the Jordan National Commission for Women is coordinating the development of the National Women's Strategy, encompassing the government's vision of women's empowerment and the national plans that address different areas of gender equality. The note touches on societal and household level issues such as existing social norms; the enabling environment provided by the legal framework; specific constraints to women's economic activity that are pronounced in the Jordan context such as access to care provisions and transport; access to entrepreneurship and finance, with a focus on technology-enabled services; and what may be considered to attract more Jordanian women in the rural areas to engage in employment in the agriculture sector. Given the saturation of the public sector in terms of employment, the focus is specifically on areas in which the private sector may play a leading role.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing women's participation on corporate boards and in senior management is among the crucial requirements of companies all around the world. IFC is no exception. The authors have seen for ourselves the positive results from greater diversity in corporate leadership. Stated simply, gender balance is good for business. The participation of women in the labor market has been a major driver of growth and competitiveness in economies. Yet, when it comes to corporate leadership positions, there remains a huge gap between the numbers of men and women represented. In Jordan this is no different. Men have assumed the highest positions of corporate leadership, even as women represent a strong untapped asset for the country. Despite constituting a large portion of society in Jordan, women have a minor presence in boardrooms and in senior decision-making positions. The research in this publication sets out to demonstrate: the degree of involvement by women in boardrooms and senior decision-making positions in the corporate world; the value of their presence when they are involved in those positions (specifically whether there is a correlation between women in the boardroom and the financial performance of companies); and some of the challenges that women face in reaching such decision-making positions. The publication also includes some recommendations for ways to overcome those challenges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper considers various dimensions and sources of gender inequality and presents policies and best practices to address these. With women accounting for fifty percent of the global population, inclusive growth can only be achieved if it promotes gender equality. Despite recent progress, gender gaps remain across all stages of life, including before birth, and negatively impact health, education, and economic outcomes for women. The roadmap to gender equality has to rely on legal framework reforms, policies to promote equal access, and efforts to tackle entrenched social norms. These need to be set in the context of arising new trends such as digitalization, climate change, as well as shocks such as pandemics.

Download or read book Corruption and Informal Practices in the Middle East and North Africa written by Ina Kubbe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-28 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the pervasive problem of corruption across the Middle East and North Africa. Drawing on the specifics of the local context, the book explores how corruption in the region is actuated through informal practices that coexist and work in parallel to formal institutions. When informal practices become vehicles for corruption, they can have negative ripple effects across many aspects of society, but on the other hand, informal practices could also have the potential to be leveraged to reinforce formal institutions to help fight corruption. Drawing on a range of cases including Morocco, Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan, Tunisia or Israel the book first explores the mechanisms and dynamics of corruption and informal practices in the region, before looking at the successes and failures of anti-corruption initiatives. The final section focuses on gender perspectives on corruption, which are often overlooked in corruption literature, and the role of women in the Middle East. With insights drawn from a range of disciplines, this book will be of interest to researchers and students across political science, philosophy, socio-legal studies, public administration, and Middle Eastern studies, as well as to policy makers and practitioners working in the region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes how the state constructs and reproduces gender identities in the context and geopolitics of Jordan. Guardianship over women is examined as not only the basis of women’s legal and social subordination, but also a key factor in the construction and reproduction of a gender hierarchy system. Afaf Jabiri probes how a masculine state gives power and legitimacy through guardianship to institutions—including family, religion, and tribe—in managing, producing, and constructing gender identity. Does the masculine institution succeed in imposing a dominant form of femininity? Or are there ways by which women escape and resist the social and legal construction of femininity? Based on over 60 case studies of contemporary women in Jordan, the book additionally examines how the resultant strategies and tactics developed by women in Jordan are influenced by and affect their status within the guardianship system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past few years women have made many advances in the field of Public Administration. Even with the advancements women today still face double standards in leadership roles. Women remain highly underrepresented in decision making positions. The goal of this research is to focus on the challenges, and issues faced by women in leadership and management positions in the public sector. There are several factors that will be analyzed through research that impede the advancement of women in leadership positions. To improve the standards, it is important to identify what's necessary for changes to occur at different levels, ranging from individual and interpersonal, to organizational and societal levels. This study will examine developing a plan of action and discussing ways to approach promoting women in management positions. This project is important for the field of Public Administration and women. The study will help further research and progress women forward in continued advancements in Public Administration.
