Booklet με comics που έγινε στα πλαίσια του Ευρωπαϊκού προγράμματος Comenius με θέμα "Gender Role Inequalities" που πραγματοποίησε το 2ο ΕΠΑΛ Γιαννιτσών τα έτη 2012-2014. Το booklet είχε ως θέμα τις ανισότητες στο χώρο της εργασίας.
Pay equity refers to equal pay for equal work regardless of gender. Historically, symbols represented gender roles where women were depicted as staying home and men working. However, during World War 1, women left home to work in military plants as active men fought in the war. After the war, women remained active workers but a pay inequity emerged between men and women's wages. A pay equity process evaluates jobs based on skills, effort, responsibility, and working conditions to determine if jobs of comparable value, typically held by different genders, should receive equal pay. In 2010, women on average earned 77% of what men earned annually for full-time, year-round work, with some ethnic groups of women earning even less.
Lean In China - 2016 Women, Work and Happiness White Paper甫径 金
In March 2016, Lean In China launched a nationwide survey titled “Women,Work and Happiness”.
The White Paper seeks to use the data collected from the survey to provide recommendations on advancing gender equality in the home and workplace based on a deeper understanding and analysis of the unique priorities, needs and challenges that women in China face as they progress in their careers and lives.
Socio-Economic Status Of Working Women In NalgondaKam Raju
Socioeconomic status (SES) is an economic and sociological combined total measure of a person's work experience and of an individual's or family's economic and social position in relation to others.
When analysing a family's SES, the household income, earners' education, and occupation are examined, as well as combined income, whereas for an individual's SES only their own attributes are assessed.
However, SES is more commonly used to depict an economic difference in society as a whole.
Women empowerment in seven dimensions through self helpSONAM PRABHA
This document discusses women's empowerment through self-help groups in Arunachal Pradesh, India. It defines empowerment and the different dimensions of power. It outlines the problems women face, including gender discrimination, lack of education, decision-making power and freedom. Self-help groups are presented as an effective approach to empowering women economically, socially, politically, institutionally, organizationally, and within their families. Data is presented on the impact of self-help groups in these dimensions from a study of 300 women across 3 districts. Economic empowerment showed the highest increase based on an empowerment index calculation.
The document summarizes a workshop on gender awareness and mainstreaming at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA). It discusses concepts of gender, the importance of gender equality and sensitivity in organizations, and challenges to achieving equality. The workshop aimed to enhance understanding of gender issues and how to integrate gender considerations into IITA's structure, policies, and research activities. It covered topics like gender roles, mainstreaming, and analysis and provided strategies for applying gender perspectives to work relationships and projects to make them more effective and equitable.

Women’s rights are human rights. But in these troubled times, as our world becomes more unpredictable and chaotic, the rights of women and girls are being reduced, restricted and reversed.
Empowering women and girls is the only way to protect their rights and make sure they can realize their full potential.
Historic imbalances in power relations between men and women, exacerbated by growing inequalities within and between societies and countries, are leading to greater discrimination against women and girls. Around the world, tradition, cultural values and religion are being misused to curtail women’s rights, to entrench sexism and defend misogynistic practices.
Only 5% of Fortune 500 company leadership positions are held by women, representing just 27 out of 500 total positions. While women's representation in leadership has increased over the past five years, they remain underrepresented at all levels. Research shows that more diverse workforces, including 40-50% women, make better decisions and grow economies more efficiently. However, the gender wage gap shows that women on average earn only 82 cents for every dollar earned by men, costing women over $400,000 over a 40 year career. Increasing diversity and closing wage gaps could significantly impact the country's future economic success.

Women generally earn less than men in the US, even when working similar hours. Women working 41-44 hours per week earn 84.6% of what men earn, and those working over 60 hours per week earn only 78.3% of men's wages. An Equal Pay Act was passed in 1963 requiring equal pay for equal work regardless of gender, but a large wage gap remains between men and women.
Women have long participated in work, but their roles changed with industrialization. In colonial America, gender roles were more fluid and work was shared. The industrial era separated work and home, reducing women's social visibility. Today, over half of women work for pay, though gender biases still exist. Women face wage gaps, occupational segregation, challenges balancing work and family, and pressure from traditional gender roles. Individual choices and support systems can help maximize women's opportunities and well-being in the workplace.
Employment and The Streets: How street identified Black youth and young adult...thepeoplesreportproject
This is a secondary data analysis on the Wilmington Street PAR project (or The People's Report), a larger street ethnographic study organized to examine physical violence in Wilmington, DE. This analysis specifically explored attitudes and experiences with employment among street identified Black men and women.
This document provides an overview of women's careers in India. It discusses how women have increasingly entered the workforce out of financial necessity for their families. While social attitudes have progressed, women still only make up 32% of the total working population and hold few corporate jobs. The document then outlines some of the key challenges faced by working women, such as mental harassment, sexual harassment, discrimination, safety issues, and lower pay compared to men. It proposes solutions like increasing women's education, social awareness campaigns, and making legal systems more accessible. Finally, it recognizes several famous successful businesswomen and careers that have helped empower women in India.
Women are increasingly occupying jobs that were traditionally held by men. While women now make up over half the workforce and outnumber men in college degrees, a pay gap persists where women earn only 77 cents for every dollar earned by men. The document examines various jobs that have seen a decline in male workers as women take over, such as postal workers, educators, and veterinarians. It also explores reasons for the shifting job trends and continuing gender pay gap, such as effects of the recession, discrimination, and differences in hours and career choices between men and women.
Black women have the highest poverty rate within the Black community despite often being the heads of households. They are also the third lowest paid group in the US. To address this, the document proposes implementing equal pay across gender and race, making childcare and reproductive healthcare more accessible and affordable, and raising awareness on social media and through civic engagement.
This document contains a workbook for a GCSE Sociology course covering topics of poverty, unemployment, discrimination, and power relationships. It includes sections on defining key terms related to each topic, explaining concepts, and posing discussion questions for students to consider related to analyzing social issues and policies.
Women have faced long-standing barriers to equality in the workplace, as evidenced by key events and laws from the 1800s establishing women's rights to the 1960s outlawing discrimination, and data showing women still earn less than men for equal work. While laws like the Equal Pay Act of 1963 aimed to establish equal pay, social factors like motherhood may still influence earning potential. The document discusses the history of women's rights in the workplace and debates around whether true pay equality has been achieved.
This document discusses problems faced by working women in Bangladesh. It begins by outlining common problems like job security, health issues, and work-life balance. It then describes a survey of 15 working women across Dhaka that aimed to understand their challenges. The findings show most women work to support their families, are aged 27-40, and face barriers like sexual harassment, health issues, and balancing work and childcare responsibilities. The conclusion calls for increasing job opportunities for women, treating women equally, addressing health concerns, and encouraging family support to empower working women.

The document discusses the status of women in India throughout history and currently. It notes that while women had high status and equality in ancient times, their status declined during the medieval period due to foreign invasions. In modern times, there has been some progress due to reformers working for women's rights, but significant gender inequality remains. Women have lower literacy rates, workforce participation, and political representation than men. While quotas have helped increase women's political participation locally, women make up only 10% of national parliament. Further efforts are needed to improve women's education, end child marriage, increase social status and power within the family and society.
This document discusses gender equity in schools. It covers topics like understanding gender, gender stereotypes, gender discrimination, the impact of gender discrimination, gender identity, gender division of labor, and violence related to gender. It also outlines activities and a training design to promote gender equality and reduce gender discrimination and stereotypes in schools.
This document discusses the challenges faced by women in the workplace and at home. It notes that women play many roles as daughters, sisters, wives and mothers, working 24/7 without pay. It lists issues women face such as discrimination at work, lack of acceptance of their talents, disrespect, balancing family duties with work and personal life, dealing with male egos, inequality, low dignity, lack of control over their earnings, and sexual harassment. It concludes that while laws have been enacted, simply passing laws is not enough and workplaces must take active steps to ensure women's safety, and the political structure may need reform to achieve this goal.
This document discusses the historical oppression of women in India and argues that empowering women is crucial. It notes that women have long been denied rights and treated as inferior. Though laws and society have improved, discrimination remains in attitudes and practices like female feticide. Uplifting women's status through education, awareness, and encouraging gender equality is important for society's welfare and progress. Changing deep-rooted mindsets will not happen overnight through protests alone, but requires a psychological transformation in how people think about and treat women.
Gender inequality- Creating a Significant income gapRebeccaFerby
This document summarizes factors that contribute to the gender wage gap, including women occupying lower-paying jobs, lack of seniority due to time spent caring for families, and underrepresentation in unions. It also discusses how women have surpassed men in post-secondary education but remain underrepresented in high-paying STEM fields. Two common theories for the wage gap are presented: that women's work is devalued, and that differences in human capital like experience and training explain disparities. The document advocates for policies and awareness to promote equal opportunities and pay for equal work regardless of gender.
Slides from breakout session B3: Volunteering and diversity: How to get different people volunteering, from the NCVO Annual Conference which took place on 16 April 2018.
The document discusses several issues related to gender in the workplace, including:
1) Women often work a "double shift" by doing unpaid domestic work after their paid work, while men do not share equally in domestic responsibilities.
2) There is a persistent gender wage gap where women earn less than men globally, even within the same occupations. Explanations for the gap include different job choices by men and women as well as gender biases within organizations.
3) Workplaces and organizations are often "gendered" in ways that reproduce gender norms and structural biases that disadvantage women, such as expectations around career trajectories that do not account for women's childbearing roles.
The document summarizes the findings of a group project on women empowerment conducted by students of Pawar Public School. The group assigned roles, created a questionnaire and survey, interviewed women from different backgrounds, and discussed their views on topics like education, employment, traditional knowledge, property rights, and treatment in the workplace. They found that while women's status and opportunities have improved in urban areas due to education campaigns, rural women still face restrictions and prefer traditional roles. Overall, the group concluded that while gender equality has progressed, women are not completely equal to men and deserve equal freedom and respect in society.

Women in Comics: The Representation of Feminism in the Comic Book IndustryPhil Bova
A small PP presentation I put together for an Undergraduate course I took some time ago. Although much has changed in the industry over time, the same issues are still relevant in many discussions on the female form in graphic novels.
This document provides summaries of various Japanese demons and spirits known as yokai. It describes demons such as the face powder hag who steals girls' faces, the mountain hag who can read minds, the snake woman who turns into a half-snake creature, and the spider woman who seduces men. Other demons mentioned include the woman with black teeth who kills those who aren't her ex-lover, the cackling woman who causes bad luck, and the raccoon dog who transforms and plays tricks. The document explores what these demons symbolize and shares some additional Japanese ghost stories.

This document discusses various issues related to the portrayal of violence against women in different media such as films, television, comics, and advertisements. It examines how such portrayals may normalize violence in society over time and reinforce certain ideologies. One quote included argues that depicting the rape of a woman is no different than depicting decapitation as a way to show that a villain is bad. The document provides various sources and examples related to the topic.
Comics and the Common Core: New York Comic Con 2013Amie Wright
Comics and the Common Core: The Case to include Comics in the Curriculum. Presented at New York Comic Con 2013 by Amie Wright, New York Public Library; Stephanie Gabelmann, Boonton Holmes Public Library; and Emily Weisenstein, Madison Public Library. Not just for reluctant readers anymore, every child would benefit from including graphic novels in the classroom. Comics and graphic novels are incredible learning tools that not only help support our Common Core State Educational Standards, but also teach literacy and comprehension skills beyond those of traditional books. Presentation includes information on Common Core State Standards, history of comics in the US (including the Comics Code and Senate hearings of the 1950s), comics as tools to enhance and create visual literacy. Presentation also includes a Resource, Links, and Reading List (last 7 slides).
This document discusses gender portrayal in media. It begins by introducing the topic and explaining the author's interest in exploring how gender is depicted in media and the negative influence it can have, especially on children. It then discusses several ways gender is commonly portrayed negatively in media, such as through sexual objectification of women, unrealistic body standards, and stereotypical gender roles. Several impacts of this are also mentioned, like low self-esteem and eating disorders. Examples are provided from various media like advertisements, magazines, television and movies. The document advocates for more positive and accurate gender representations in media to counter these harmful portrayals and influence.
The document traces the origins of comics from early cave paintings and medieval church art that combined images and words, to the political cartoons of William Hogarth in the 18th century. It discusses how Rodolphe Topffer is widely considered the first to combine sequential images and words to tell narrative stories. In the 19th century, improvements in printing and literacy helped newspapers and magazines expand, including the emergence of penny dreadfuls and humor magazines containing early comic strips. By the early 20th century, comics were being published regularly in newspapers and magazines for both children and adults.
Gender discrimination in the workplace continues to negatively impact women. Women earn less than men and face unfair stereotypes that prevent equal treatment and opportunity. Examples include a persistent wage gap where women make 78 cents for every dollar earned by men. Women also experience discrimination in hiring practices and workplace conditions due to the assumption that men are more capable. However, efforts are being made to promote fairness and women, such as Hillary Clinton, Beyoncé, and Oprah Winfrey, have overcome discrimination through determination and success.
Gender inequality creating a significant income gapRebeccaFerby
This document discusses factors that contribute to the gender wage gap, including occupational segregation, lack of women in unions, and women taking time away from work to care for families. It also examines how women's education levels relate to the wage gap. While women now surpass men in post-secondary education, they remain underrepresented in high-paying fields like STEM and face barriers to promotion. The wage gap can be explained by the devaluation of work traditionally done by women and differences in work experience between men and women. Solutions proposed to address the gap include improving laws and promoting balanced hiring.
This document discusses gender inequality in various areas such as the workplace, relationships, parenting, marriage, technology, television/film, fashion, and education. It provides examples of gender inequality around the world and measures taken by the Indian government and organizations to promote equality. Key points addressed include natural sex differences, wage discrimination, unequal responsibilities at home and in careers, and discrimination faced by women in industries like film. Organizations working to promote female education and empowerment are also mentioned.
Kathleen Rybczynski argues that diversity, including gender diversity, is essential for businesses to succeed and innovate. Without diversity of perspectives, businesses risk becoming stagnant and falling behind competitors. Currently, women remain underrepresented in STEM fields and often face wage gaps and barriers to advancement. A lack of gender diversity limits the perspectives and ideas that businesses can draw from and weakens their competitiveness in the global marketplace. Rybczynski and other experts argue that businesses must challenge stereotypes and the status quo to create truly inclusive workplaces where all genders and backgrounds are represented and valued equally.
This document discusses gender equality and its importance. It defines gender equality as access to rights and opportunities regardless of gender. Gender inequality is caused by factors like patriarchy, discrimination, and unequal pay/work. Examples of inequality include lack of access to education, travel rights, and political representation for women. Achieving gender equality is important for organizations, economic growth, family investment, and reducing child mortality. Ensuring equality requires empowering women through education, ending child marriage and violence against women, and increasing women's representation in leadership.
Gender inequality exists in education, employment, and income. Women earn only 70 cents for every dollar men earn, and it would take women 14 extra years to earn the same as men by age 65. While women now earn 60% of bachelor's degrees, they are more likely to work in lower-paying fields like health and education. 10-15% of the wage gap is due to gender discrimination. Traditional gender roles also contribute to inequality by expecting women to work unpaid domestic jobs and care for children. However, policies aim to reduce discrimination and encourage equal opportunities.
1) Gender inequality, or gender discrimination, refers to unequal treatment and unfair rights between males and females based on gender roles.
2) Gender inequality affects populations, education, and the economy. Imbalances in birth rates between males and females can impact security and social order. Lower female education negatively impacts economic growth by lowering human capital.
3) Solutions to address gender inequality include promoting gender-sensitive schools and curricula, empowering women's participation in the economy, and changing outdated social conceptions about gender roles through education and progressive attitudes.
This document discusses discrimination against women in the workforce. It begins by defining discrimination against women according to the UN. It then introduces that women remain underrepresented in the workforce and gender discrimination is still a major issue. It poses three research questions about differences in work environments today for men and women, causes of discrimination, and how work conditions have differed or remained the same over time. It then addresses each question by providing statistics on women in the workforce, discussing pay gaps and challenges like taking time off, and how work conditions have improved with increased access to education but pay discrepancies remain. It concludes by recommending ways to further improve conditions like opportunities for women and acknowledging successful women leaders.
Gender inequality exists in education, employment, and income between men and women. Women face barriers including earning only 70 cents for every dollar a man earns, being discouraged from pursuing higher-paying fields, and shouldering a greater burden of unpaid domestic work and childcare. While progress has been made over the last 30 years from more women in the workforce and policies against wage discrimination, gender roles and societal expectations of women's traditional roles in the household and workplace still contribute to inequality today.
This document discusses how gender affects work and the economy. It examines the historical division of labor between men and women, with men typically working outside the home and women responsible for unpaid domestic and care work. It notes that while women's participation in the paid labor force has increased, occupational segregation and discrimination have contributed to lower pay for women. The document also analyzes concepts like the glass ceiling and glass escalator and discusses the impacts of globalization and the feminization of labor. It examines issues like women's access to property and land ownership and how this influences gender relations and women's economic empowerment and independence.
This document discusses factors affecting gender equality in the workplace. It summarizes a study that surveyed opinions on gender stereotypes in different occupations. The study found that stereotypes still somewhat impact perceived gender distributions. However, many believe future generations will be less impacted by occupational stereotypes. Statistical data showed that women dominate fields like administrative assistants and nursing, but few are in construction. While some fields like pharmacists pay women fairly, women on average still earn less than men.
The gender pay gap statistic, which shows that women earn 77 cents for every dollar men earn, is often misunderstood and misused by both critics and supporters of gender equality. While the statistic does not account for all factors like occupation and experience, it still provides useful information about gender inequality in the workplace. The author analyzes additional data showing the pay gap varies in different situations but never disappears, suggesting discrimination remains an issue. More nuanced analysis is needed to fully understand the causes of the gender pay gap.
Here are some constructive ways to approach the topic of getting paid in full without coming across as angry or bitter:
Focus on professionalism. Explain that as service providers, it's important we conduct ourselves professionally by fulfilling contractual obligations and honoring agreements. Highlight how getting paid allows us to do our work and serve other clients.
Lead with understanding, not accusation. Acknowledge that non-payment can happen for various reasons outside others' control. Offer to have an open discussion to resolve issues respectfully.
Emphasize mutual benefit. Remind that getting proper compensation allows you to continue operating, which benefits all parties. Timely payment protects the business relationship.
Suggest practical solutions. Offer payment plans, discounts
Gender inequality exists in the workplace, particularly in the IT and banking sectors in Pakistan according to a study. The study aimed to compare gender inequality related to the glass ceiling and gender pay gap between the banking and IT sectors through a literature review and survey of 120 employees. While the participation of women is greater in the IT industry, the banking sector workforce has limited female participation. The study found gender inequality and discrimination exist, with some employees feeling they had been denied jobs or opportunities due to their gender. Common factors contributing to the gender pay gap were found to be less education and experience for women as well as family responsibilities limiting women's careers. The study concludes strict laws are needed against gender inequality and discrimination in the workplace.
Gender Inequality is one of the most common topics given in presentations in schools and colleges. this ppt can be used to explain the content and analyze the causes of gender Inequality.
Work is a social institution that is not gender neutral. Certain types of work and expectations of work differ between sexes. Work is often understood as a masculine institution, where a man's identity and status is tied to his employment, while women face greater stigma if they work rather than care for family. There are also wage gaps between men and women, with women earning less even with similar qualifications and experience. Organizational structures are often not gender neutral and can disadvantage women through issues like segregation of work and unequal pay and status.
This document discusses gender inequality in the workforce. It summarizes that society structures expectations based on gender, with masculinity expected to be assertive/dominant and femininity expected to be nurturing/caring. This leads to two major barriers - occupational segregation, where men and women cluster into traditional gender-typed careers, and a sex gap in pay, where women typically earn less than men. While changes are occurring, gender stereotypes still influence career choices and perpetuate inequality between men and women in the home and workplace.
This presentation discusses gender inequality as a global problem rooted in historical traditions and ancestral beliefs that have created stereotypes around gender roles and job opportunities. Gender inequality leads to economic imbalance as women often earn lower incomes due to restricted access to certain jobs. It also hinders personal and professional growth by limiting access to education and employment. Addressing the root causes of traditional gender stereotypes and unequal opportunities is necessary to overcome this widespread issue.
Foregrounding Gender in the SI Assessment Framework for Systems Analysesafrica-rising
This document discusses how gender issues are relevant to assessing sustainable intensification. It makes three key points:
1) Gender is a social construct that influences roles, responsibilities, access to resources, and decision-making for both men and women. Understanding these gender dynamics is important for effective project design and measuring impacts.
2) The sustainable intensification assessment framework considers impacts across five domains, but gender issues are relevant to assessing all domains, not just the social domain. Recognizing gender differences in areas like nutrition, crop and animal ownership, and environmental knowledge is important.
3) There are often significant sub-national differences in gender roles and indicators of sustainable intensification that projects need to consider. Data from Cambodia

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Like it or not, gender stereotypes are hard to break and even
though women have caught up with men in terms of education,
there is still a huge gender gap in the workplace.
We have tried to approach these differences through the
perspective of cartoon makers.

According to statistics, women represent over 80 percent of the
secretaries, nurses, teachers and cashiers. It seems that things
haven't changed much for the working woman during the past 50
years.

As a result of their priorities (like family, children, relatives,
friends, love, etc.), women cannot compete against ambitious
men who have been focusing on their jobs throughout their lives
without breaks - particularly at the high-power levels of any given
job.

The phrase “glass ceiling” refers to an invisible barrier that
prevents someone from achieving further success. It is most often
heard in the context of women who cannot advance to the
highest levels of power in the workplace.

Women have made great steps in the workplace, but inequality
persists. According to statistics, on average in 2010, women only
made 77 cents to every dollar a man earned. There’s still a gender
gap that needs to be rectified.
