Book Synopsis Now You See Them, Now You Don't - Women and Civil Service in Pakistan by : Aneela Salman
Download or read book Now You See Them, Now You Don't - Women and Civil Service in Pakistan written by Aneela Salman and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizations are gendered with complex patterns of visibility and invisibility embedded in their structure and norms. This paper analyzes the patterns of gender inequality within organizations, which are reinforced by gender-blind policies. My argument is that gender-blind policies promising equality do not always translate into gender equity. I will focus on careers of women in District Management Group (DMG), a prestigious administrative civil service group in the Federal Government of Pakistan, to trace the hidden patterns of persisting gender inequalities in DMG. I use qualitative data from in-depth interviews with middle and upper management DMG officers, to tease out the invisible pattern of inequalities experienced by these women. To identify the differential effects of gender-blind policies I will use the concepts of visibility and invisibility in workplaces. Visible equal opportunity policies fail to provide a level playing field when the model of ideal manager is based on masculine assumptions. Women face systematic disadvantage and struggle to compete in a system that does not take into account their invisible constraints of work and family responsibilities, gender stereotypes, different life experiences and social roles. A model of integrated manager needs to be constructed and acknowledged, where public professional life is integrated with the private life of family, community and personal commitments.

Book excerpt: If Pakistan is to reduce gender gaps and achieve its development goals, policy interventions will require a dual focus on near-term and long-term outcomes. In the near term, females need access to basic services and opportunities. In the longer term the economic, cultural, and political environment must sustain improved circumstances for women in health, labor force participation, and other outcomes. Far deeper and more integrated initiatives are needed if long-standing trends in gender inequality are to be reversed. What role does public policy play? In many cases minor changes in laws and institutions can foster greater involvement by women in the public sphere to enable them to pursue activities that further enhance their autonomy and elevate their status. Such changes may encourage parents to educate their daughters, for instance, which will enable future generations of women to make better health-related and economic decisions within the household, and to participate in political life where they can contribute to further social and legal change. What is to be done in the meantime, as institutional reforms and economic growth may make limited and slow progress? Active policy measures to promote gender equality in the present are crucial. In particular, near-term approaches must work around existing constraints on women and girls, augmenting their access to basic services, paid work, and opportunities for decision-making in the public sphere. The analysis in this report has incorporated research and insights from scholars and civil society organizations in Pakistan in order to arrive at precisely these types of near-term approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extrait de la couverture . "The book is set against a backdrop of the everyday cycle of happiness and sorrow experienced by the common people of Pakistan, in particular its women. The laws and legal confrontation between the sexes have been ably portrayed. The author discusses gender disputes, economic disparities, legal and social inequalities. The culture of violence and crimes against women is illustrated with real cases. Quotations from the Quran are used to illustrate the just and equitable spirit of Islamic laws, but along with this the author discusses the ways in which these laws have been misinterpreted and distorted. Recommandations and remedies with a road map for change in the economic, social and legal environment of the country add to the value of the book. Eminently readable and containing several case studies and real life examples the book is essential reading for all thinking women in Pakistan."

The research interviewed 198 public sector employees in Pakistan to seek opinions on women's representation, the changes and policies required in the public sector and actual changes in practices after gender training. The data captured the diversity of views of male and female employees both with and without gender training, belonging to two geographic locations, 10 organisations, and at three levels within the organisations.

Book Synopsis Gender Equality and Inclusive Growth by : Raquel Fernández
Download or read book Gender Equality and Inclusive Growth written by Raquel Fernández and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-03-04 with total page 50 pages. 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 Women in Pakistan written by Farzana Bari and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though Pakistan has made progress toward achieving its education, gender equity, and health Millennium Goals, it is unlikely to reach 2015 targets. In general, achievements were lower in rural areas and in lower-income households. Pakistani girls still have lower enrollment in primary and secondary schools, and do not perform as well as boys on tests. Adult female literacy varies widely by province. Women continue to face many forms of gender-based violence, and often are restricted from leaving their homes. While employment rates among women have doubled in the last decade, women are more likely to be unemployed than men, and lack access to finance or assets.

Book Synopsis Education as the Driving Force of Equity for the Marginalized by : Boivin, Jacquelynne Anne
Download or read book Education as the Driving Force of Equity for the Marginalized written by Boivin, Jacquelynne Anne and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2022-01-14 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the USA, racism is the most widespread root of oppression. Black people in America, specifically, have suffered from centuries of discrimination and still struggle to receive the same privileges as their white peers. In other countries, however, there are other groups that face similar struggles. Discrimination and oppression based on religion, ethnicity, socio-economic status, political affiliation, and caste are just a few categories. However, education is a root for widespread societal change, making it essential that educators and systems of education enact the changes that need to occur to achieve equity for the groups being oppressed. Education as the Driving Force of Equity for the Marginalized highlights international research from the past decade about the role education is playing in the disruption and dismantling of perpetuated systems of oppression. This research presents the context, ideas, and mechanics behind impactful efforts to dismantle systems of oppression. Covering topics such as teacher preparation, gender inequality, and social justice, this work is essential for teachers, policymakers, college students, education faculty, researchers, administrators, professors, and academicians.
Book Synopsis Routledge Handbook of Public Policy in Africa by : Gedion Onyango
Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Public Policy in Africa written by Gedion Onyango and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 912 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook provides an authoritative and foundational disciplinary overview of African Public Policy and a comprehensive examination of the practicalities of policy analysis, policymaking processes, implementation, and administration in Africa today. The book assembles a multidisciplinary team of distinguished and upcoming Africanist scholars, practitioners, researchers and policy experts working inside and outside Africa to analyse the historical and emerging policy issues in 21st-century Africa. While mostly attentive to comparative public policy in Africa, this book attempts to address some of the following pertinent questions: How can public policy be understood and taught in Africa? How does policymaking occur in unstable political contexts, or in states under pressure? Has the democratisation of governing systems improved policy processes in Africa? How have recent transformations, such as technological proliferation in Africa, impacted public policy processes? What are the underlying challenges and potential policy paths for Africa going forward? The contributions examine an interplay of prevailing institutional, political, structural challenges and opportunities for policy effectiveness to discern striking commonalities and trajectories across different African states. This is a valuable resource for practitioners, politicians, researchers, university students, and academics interested in studying and understanding how African countries are governed.

Book Synopsis Accelerating progress towards SDG2 – Policy effectiveness analysis by : Food and Agriculture Organization fo the United Nations
Download or read book Accelerating progress towards SDG2 – Policy effectiveness analysis written by Food and Agriculture Organization fo the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Food and Nutrition Security Impact, Resilience, Sustainability and Transformation (FIRST) Programme represents a partnership between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the European Union (EU). In 2018, the partnership agreed on the need to have a policy effectiveness analysis conducted in most of the FIRST countries. As policy implementation rather than formulation is repeatedly raised as one of Pakistan’s challenges, this assessment considered the implementation challenges of specific policy processes relevant to the FAO-EU partnership in the country, rather than the entire suite of relevant policies. It considered the necessary conditions to move forward and how best to meet these conditions, including through more strategic resource allocation and more effective approaches to building institutional capacity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using three case studies, the United Kingdom, Poland, and Pakistan, Rincker shows how decentralization reforms lead to women's empowerment create new institutional offices as power shifts from the national level to a meso-tier level, which is located between the national government and local municipalities.
