This document summarizes the key findings of a study on social determinants of gender inequality in Vietnam. It finds that traditional gender roles assigning women as caregivers contribute significantly to inequality. Women have lower education levels and less economic opportunities due to expectations they will prioritize family caregiving over their careers or education. While gender attitudes are changing among younger, more educated people, women still do most domestic and childcare work. They also have less access to assets, social welfare programs, and decision making power within families. The study aims to better understand these social factors driving inequality in order to inform policies and programs to promote greater equality.
This document discusses gender inequality and domestic violence in India. It defines domestic violence and its various forms. There are regional differences in domestic violence prevalence, with southern Indian states generally having lower rates than northern states due to factors like greater women's autonomy and rights in the south. Patriarchal social structures, dowry practices, and viewing women as a liability contribute to gender inequality and domestic violence in India. The constitution guarantees women's equality but patriarchal traditions persist.
This document discusses gender inequality and discrimination against women in India. It begins by noting that while women are worshipped in religious beliefs, they are still exploited in society which demonstrates double standards.

The present study made an attempt to gain insights on determinants and psychosocial consequences of early marriage on rural women. Samples of 300 women who married early and have completed 5 to 15 years of married life were taken from 20 villages of district Bhilwara, Rajasthan as it has highest instances of child marriages. In depth investigation employed the use of interview, FGDs, observation and case study method. Research was based in district. Baseline Proforma and SES scale (self developed) was used to get the necessary details regarding the socio-economic status and demographic characteristics of respondents and their families. DEM scale (self developed), PSC Scale (self developed) and life satisfaction scale (Alam & Shrivastava, 1973) were used for data collection. Statistical test i.e. ‘z’ test, ANOVA, Regression & Pearson’s ‘r’ were applied to find out the results.
The findings of the study revealed that age at marriage is governed by various components of socio-economic status with traditions & customs, lack of education, childhood residence and castes. Effect of mass media was not found as hypothesized. Media is only meant for entertainment by rural people. The study also highlighted psycho-social consequences (PSC components) of early marriage. It was found that child marriage increases exploitation of girl child and loss of her adolescence along with denial of education & freedom, inadequate socialization & personal development and violence & abandonment. Access to contraception is highly correlated with age at marriage i.e. the lower the age at marriage lower the knowledge and less access of contraception.
The multiple regression analysis in predicting age at marriage and its determinants reveal that the Beta coefficient reflect the socio- economic status of the family and in which a girl belongs has more considerable contribution in terms of early marriage while traditions and customs follow the socio-cultural perseverance in predicting age at marriage. It is also depicted from the regression analysis that the ill consequences of early marriage in earlier ages have more awful effects on girl child. On the whole, it was found that early marriage itself means exploitation of girl child and loss of adolescence. This factor is highly significant in all studied age groups. They are treated as homely bird which means confined to four walls of house. Overall dissatisfaction level is high with the respondents who get married at the early age. There are significant correlation found between determinants and psycho-social consequences of early marriage and inter-correlation among LS and SES components.
Gender bias refers to prejudice or unfair treatment based on gender, which often stems from personal values, perceptions, and outdated views of men and women. A survey found that 48% of Indians have faced discrimination at work, most commonly due to gender, age, or caste/religion. Gender discrimination in the workplace can include unequal pay, diminished responsibilities, glass ceilings, sexual harassment, and lack of support for pregnancy. It leads to increased employee turnover, a hostile work environment, and decreased performance and productivity.
Gender issues can impact health in several ways. Biologically, men and women have differences in chromosomes, hormones, physiology and risk factors for certain diseases. Socially, gender roles and inequalities influence access to resources and health outcomes. For many diseases like heart disease, stroke and tuberculosis, prevalence and mortality rates differ between men and women. Gender also affects exposure and vulnerability to conditions like malaria, HIV and road traffic accidents. Addressing gender in health policies, programs and research is crucial to promote equality and improve health for all.

Early marriage of young females a panacea to poverty in the northern region ...Alexander Decker
Early marriage before the age of 18 is common in the Northern Region of Ghana, largely due to poverty. The study found that families often force their daughters to marry early because they cannot afford school fees or other family expenses. Marrying early is seen as a way to reduce the financial burden on families. However, early marriage also means girls have less opportunity to develop skills and education that could help them earn income and escape poverty. The intergenerational transmission of poverty is also an issue, as daughters of mothers who married early often have no choice but to marry early as well, perpetuating the cycle of poverty between generations.
Action to empower women report on education and gender equalitySiva Prakash Murugan
This document discusses strategic priorities for achieving gender equality and empowering women as outlined in the UN's Millennium Development Goals. It identifies seven strategic priorities: 1) increasing post-primary education for girls, 2) guaranteeing sexual and reproductive health and rights, 3) investing in infrastructure to reduce women's time burdens, 4) guaranteeing property and inheritance rights for women, 5) eliminating gender inequality in employment, 6) increasing women's political representation, and 7) combating violence against women and girls. The document argues that progress in these areas is essential to meet the goal of gender equality by 2015.
Gender inequality refers to unequal treatment or perceptions of individuals based on their gender, which arises from differences in socially constructed gender roles. Gender relations in India are unequal with respect to power, privilege, and property. To combat gender inequality and promote equality, efforts should be made to offer high-level education to women, increase their employment and involvement in politics and social activities, arrange social protection programs, and generate awareness among parents through scholarships for girls. Workplaces should also provide equal pay and remove barriers to full participation for both women and men while eliminating discrimination based on gender or caring responsibilities.

His home life has been disrupted by violence and neglect between his parents. An appropriate intervention would be an intense outpatient program connecting Phillip with former gang members who have reformed through treatment. This would help address his anger issues and lack of direction due to disconnect between his home and school. The program would require parental consent and consideration of ethical and legal guidelines when working with Phillip.

The document discusses the status of women in Bangladesh based on factors like education, employment, and mobility. Some key points:
- Women's education levels are significantly lower than men's, especially at secondary levels and above. Factors like poverty, cultural norms, and early marriage limit girls' access to education.
- While women make substantial economic contributions, especially in agriculture and garment industry, their participation in the formal labor force remains low. They are often concentrated in low-paid, low-status jobs.
- Women's mobility outside the home is restricted according to cultural norms. Survey data found under half of women report being able to go outside or to a health center alone. Logistic regression found women's
This document discusses gender and sex, gender stereotyping, and the differences between gender and sex roles. It defines patriarchy and gender discrimination, and examines the causes, effects, and ways to combat gender imbalance in Uganda. Specifically, it identifies lack of political representation, racism, job segregation, societal mindsets, lack of legal protections and access to education as key causes. Effects include negative economic, social and health impacts. Combating measures proposed include giving women platforms in power, ending violence against women, equal access to education, and empowering women through financial support and awareness campaigns.

Partho Banik submitted an assignment on gender inequality and discrimination in Bangladesh to their lecturer MD. Akram Ullah. The 3-page document discusses topics like the definition of gender, causes of gender inequality in Bangladesh, fields impacted by inequality like health, education, employment and politics, as well as solutions to lower discrimination. It provides federal laws aimed at leveling opportunities between men and women. The conclusion recognizes that inequality exists more in rural areas and has implications for long-term consequences if not addressed.
This document discusses envisioning a gender fair society through analyzing sex and gender differences, the gender and development framework in education, and changes needed to achieve greater gender equality. It examines feminist theories that view gender inequality through legal rights, social institutions, and women's reproductive roles. The document envisions a world without male dominance where cultural values equally value females and males and both women and men can access all social roles. Achieving this requires changes in education, the economy, family, and policies to support gender equal participation and responsibilities in both public and private spheres.

Teen pregnancy in the United States
Teen pregnancy in the United States
The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy was founded in 1996 and has its headquarters in Washington D.C. and has nearly 200 organizations and media outlets which serve as partners. The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy’s main agenda seeks to improve the lives and future prospects of children and families by ensuring that children are born into stable, two-parent families who have a commitment to and are ready for the demanding task of raising the next generation. Their strategy is aimed at the prevention of teen pregnancy and unplanned pregnancy among single, young adults by supporting a combination of responsible values and behavior by both men and women and responsible policies in both the public and private sectors. Their actions are aimed at improving child and family well-being therefore reducing the prevalence rate of poverty by providing more opportunities for the teenagers to complete their education or achieve other life goals while advocating for fewer abortions towards the creation of a stronger nation.
Teenage pregnancies have resulted to a total of 273,105 babies who were born to women aged 15–19 years, for a live birth rate of 26.5% per 1,000 women in this age group. There has been a decline in teen pregnancies with a drop of 10% in 2013. The birth rates declined at 13% for women aged 15–17 years, and 8% for women aged 18–19 years (Child Trends, 2014). Still, the U.S. teen pregnancy rate is substantially higher than in other western industrialized nations (Clay, et al, 2012). The national teen pregnancy rate has been declining steadily over the last two decades which has been attributed to the combination of an increased percentage of adolescents who are waiting to have sexual intercourse and the increased use of contraceptives by teens. The teen pregnancy rate includes the pregnancies that end in a live birth, as well as those that end in abortion or miscarriage resulting from fetal loss. In the United States 4 in 10 teens get pregnant at least once before they reach the age of 20 which leads to the teenagers dropping out of school with more than 50% of teen mothers never completing school. The trends show that less than 10% of the fathers marry the mother of their child and that almost a half of the teen mothers get their second child within the first 24 months since 80% of teens who do not use protective methods have higher chances of becoming pregnant.
Teen birth rates have been declining significantly in the recent years, however, despite these declines, there still exists a lot of disparities that need to be properly addressed (Dessen, 2005). There are substantial disparities that persist in teen birth rates, and teen pregnancy and childbearing which continue to carry significant social and economic costs. In 2013, the Hispanic teen birth rates were still more than two times higher than the rate for ...

This document discusses gender and gender mainstreaming in the context of local governance. It begins by defining key terms - sex refers to biological differences while gender refers to social roles and relations between women and men that are socially constructed and can vary by culture. Gender mainstreaming is defined as making men's and women's concerns an integral part of policies across all sectors to promote gender equality and sustainable development. The document outlines how gender is learned and reinforced through socialization agents like family, school and media. It also discusses patriarchal social systems and norms that create unequal power relations between men and women. Finally, it discusses approaches to development like empowerment that aim to achieve full participation and decision making power for both women and men.

The document discusses gender discrimination and inequality in Bangladesh. It provides definitions of gender discrimination and discusses how it manifests systematically in denying opportunities, rights and resources to individuals based on their gender. It then discusses specific issues of gender inequality in Bangladesh, including perceptions that view girls as having lesser value and limited roles. It also discusses challenges such as low quality of education, lack of access and equity in education for girls, especially for those who never enroll or drop out. Overall, the document analyzes different dimensions of gender discrimination and inequality prevalent in Bangladeshi society and how it impacts women and girls.
Sex Education to Indian Adolescents – Need of the Houriosrjce
This document discusses the need for comprehensive sex education for Indian adolescents. It notes that India has a large adolescent population but parents and society are reluctant to discuss sexuality openly. While adolescents are curious about physical changes during puberty, they lack guidance, leading some to seek information from unreliable sources like pornography. Sex education could help address issues like teenage pregnancy, sexual abuse, and India's HIV epidemic by empowering youth with knowledge about safe and responsible behavior. However, introducing sex education remains controversial in India. The document argues that a single chapter in the school curriculum could help address the lack of reliable information available to many Indian adolescents.
SITUATION OF FILIPINO CHILDREN IN PHILIPPINESEdz Gapuz
This document discusses issues related to children, youth, women, and tribal Filipinos in the Philippines. It notes that children face many risks such as death from preventable diseases, abuse, and exploitation. Women contend with inequality, poverty, and lack of access to healthcare and education. Tribal groups face loss of culture and identity. The plight of youth includes lack of purpose, motivation, and proper education. Overall the document outlines human rights concerns and challenges faced by these vulnerable populations in the Philippines.
Gender inequality has been a major issue in India for centuries. While the Indian constitution guarantees equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender, discrimination and disparities persist in practice. Some key issues related to gender inequality in India include preferential treatment of boys over girls; neglect of girls' health and nutrition; maternal undernourishment; high rates of low birthweight babies; and later health issues like cardiovascular disease. Addressing the root causes of gender inequality, like the lack of value placed on women's lives and interests, is important to improve outcomes for both women and society as a whole in India. Recent census data shows a decline in the child sex ratio, likely due to sex-selective abortions, indicating natality inequality is a

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptxSSR02
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...AbdullaAlAsif1
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

Gender equality in vietnam has improved signifcantly thanks to the strong commitment
1. Main Findings and Recommendations on the Report
“Social Determinants of Gender Inequality in Vietnam”
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Gender equality in Vietnam has improved significantly thanks to the strong commitment
of the Government, efforts by civil society and changes by Vietnamese men and women over
the last few decades. In many areas, the gaps between men and women have narrowed.
Women are healthier, better educated, as well as politically and economically stronger. Women’s
voices are now increasingly heard in decision-making processes both in the public and
domestic spheres. Yet this achievement has not met expectations. The most recent Government
report on the implementation of the National Program on Gender Equality in the five year
period of 2011-2015 has recognized that the progress of gender equality in Vietnam is still
slow, sometimes stagnant, or even regressive in various areas (MOLISA, 2015). According
to the Global Gender Gap Report 2014, the rank of Vietnam has regressed over the last
decade from a rank of 42 in 2007 to 76 in 2014 (World Economic Forum, 2014). This reality
raises serious questions: What are the causes of the slow progress or even regression of gender
equality? How to address the challenges and barriers hindering the efforts of the Government
and the people of Vietnam in bridging the gap between genders?
Answers to these questions can be found in numerous research studies conducted within last
two decades. The result of such research is insight into the experiences and perceptions of
research participants. The research has provided vital information for the development of
policies and programs to reduce gender inequality in the country and has led to the passage
of several laws, such as the Law on Marriage and Family, the Law on Gender Equality
and the Law on Domestic Violence Prevention. Yet, while a considerable amount of scientific
knowledge regarding gender inequality in various domains in Vietnam has been produced,
most research is based on qualitative studies.
This research study “Social Factors Determining Gender Inequality in Vietnam” presented in
this report is an attempt to contribute to the join effort to answer these questions. The overall
2. objective of this research study is to understand the dimensions, nature and determinants of
gender inequality in Vietnam. The specific objectives of this study are to:
i. describe gender practice and gender attitudes in Vietnam
ii. explore factors that contribute to gender inequality in Vietnam
iii. develop recommendations for improvement of policy and intervention programs for
the promotion of gender equality in Vietnam.
This research study conducted by the Institute for Social Development Studies between 2012
to 2015 with support from The Ford Foundation, Oxfam Novib, and the Australian
Government. The study includes a nationally representative survey covering 4212 women
and 4212 men aged between 18-65 from 9 cities and provinces, namely Hà Nội, Hồ Chí Minh
City, Đà Nẵng, Thái Bình, Phú Thọ, Lâm Đồng, Bình Thuận, Vĩnh Long and Tây Ninh, and
a qualitative research undertaken in Hà Nội, Hưng Yên, Hồ Chí Minh City and Long An.
FINDINGS
Traditional rigid gender perceptions towards men’s and women’s values and roles are found
as underlying causes of gender inequality in Vietnam. While other aspects of this longstanding
perception have weakened over time, the value of the role of family caregiver assigned to
women is still firmly sustained in the minds and behaviors of Vietnamese men and women across
all social strata. Women, in particular, deeply internalize this value and, in many cases, are willing
to compromise their individual well-being and advancement.
The research however also found that this perception of women as primary family caregivers
does not necessary have the same influence across the country. The factors of regional, social
and cultural context can color the influence in different shades. This perception can also be altered
with the improvement of education and exposure to more positive role models.
Education
Gender inequality in education is partly caused by the prescribed caregiver role of women
in the family. Women have significantly lower levels of education compared to men. Women
are more likely than men to fall within the groups with a lower-secondary school education
3. and lower (70.78% and 60.28%, respectively) while less likely in the groups with upper-
secondary school or higher levels of education (29.22% and 40.33%, respectively). Young
women are expected to sacrifice their formal education for the benefit of their male siblings
and tend to give up their formal education to perform family caregiver roles. Women also
internalize the attitudes that women should have a lower educational attainment than their
husbands in order to maintain familial harmony.
Employment and work
More than 20% of women covered by the survey did not work because of household chores,
compared to 2% of men. Moreover, among those who worked, women are more likely to work in
agriculture or in the informal sector. As a consequence, women are more likely to pay their social
and health insurance out of their own pocket. Yet, only one fifth of those who worked in the private
sector and around 5% to 6% of those who worked in the informal sector have social insurance, and
less than half of these two groups have medical insurance. Clearly, women’s rights and access
to social welfare and security are much more limited, including pregnancy and childbirth
benefits.
Women are less likely to get promoted or given a chance to improve their professional
qualifications, especially among those who work in the state sector. The number of women
promoted to a higher position is less than half that of men. The number of women who attended
trainings or conferences is often less than three fourths that of men.
In family agriculture production, women tend to undertake almost all 11 tasks which the research
itemized, while men primarily undertake only 2 tasks: ploughing/treating the soil and
spraying pesticides. In raising animals and fish farming, women also undertake 9 out of 11
tasks, while men primarily undertake only two tasks: buying and maintaining machinery and
harvesting/fishing. In general, the division of labor between men and women is more equal in
households working in industries, handicrafts, service, or business, with more women in
charge of managing expenditure and revenue in these cases.
Division of domestic work and decision making in the family
Domestic work remains women’s main responsibility. Women undertake 12 out of 14 tasks
4. which the research itemized, ranging from cooking to caring for senior or sick family members.
Men primarily undertake one to two tasks, including the maintenance and fixing of household
appliances, and representing family in contacting local authorities. Men and women share
the two tasks of weddings/funerals and praying to ancestors equally.
Two thirds of women compared to one quarter of men reported regularly doing housework during
their childhood before the age of 18. It’s worth noting that men who often did housework in
their childhood are more likely to share housework in their current family.
Women undertake almost all tasks regarding the care of children, ranging from feeding and
bathing to nursing a sick child. The task that men undertook the most often was attending
children’s school meetings.
Traditional gender roles and stereotypes are widely prevalent among people across all
social strata. More women than men believe that the husband is the family pillar and the
wife’s “heavenly” granted task is taking care of children and family members. Indeed, while
both men and women reported a relatively equal participation in decision making on most family
matters, the majority agreed that men tend to be the one who has the final say in more important
matters relating to land, housing and purchasing valuable assets, while women are in charge
of daily matters.
Nevertheless, the tendency towards more gender equality in division of labor and decision
making in the family is getting clearer, especially among men and women of younger age
groups, with higher educational levels.
Property ownership
Ownership or co-ownership of the most valuable property of the family plays an important
role in bargaining power relations between the spouses. However, almost half of women do
not own residential land and only one fifth of women own land or houses, while more than
half of men are sole owners of land or houses. It is the men who often own the most
valuable property, including production facilities and vehicles.
Marriage and family
In Vietnam today, residing in a husband’s family home is still a more common than
residing in a wife’s family home. This leads to the husband’s parents receiving more care
5. and assistance. This traditional practice limits the role of the daughter in her birthparents’ family
and strengthens the values as well as the role of the sons.
While research findings show that the majority of respondents reported holding more equitable
gender attitudes on the values and roles of both sons and daughters, in reality there are still
couples who reported applying common scientific and medical methods to have a son.
There are however different perspectives on sons and daughters. Sons are preferred mainly
because of the traditional symbolic values related to their role in family continuation and
ancestor worship. Daughters are preferred for pragmatic values associated with their roles in
providing care and emotional support to their parents.
Inequality also exists in asset distribution. More families distributed or planned to distribute
assets to sons, especially when it came to land and houses. In some families, daughters are
given a small amount of assets, mainly money and other non-land related assets. Yet the
practice of equal share is more prevalent in the south and is becoming more visible among
young people in other parts of the country.
Intimate relationship and domestic violence
The care and support that women are expected to provide as family caregivers is also
manifested in their intimate life. Married women were far less likely to initiate sexual activities
and were less satisfied with their sexual life than men. At the same time, the pressure of family
planning rests on the women’s shoulders with more than two thirds of currently married couples
practicing female family planning methods. Nevertheless, men of a younger age and with a
higher educational level are more likely to share family planning responsibilities with
their spouse.
In general, women reported significantly greater levels of all forms of domestic violence
than men. More than 13% of currently married women reported experiencing unwanted sex
within the last 12 months. The belief that it is natural for men to commit violence because
they have the right is still common. Most cases of domestic violence (98.57%) sunk into
silence, implying that regardless of family background, this issue should be seen as a private
matter and should be kept behind closed doors.
Double standards tolerating men’s freedom in sexual activities and blaming women for the
6. same conducts are still prevalent among 50% of the surveyed population. Women, however,
hold stricter attitudes towards other women. Those who hold the double standards are more likely
to have an unequal sexual relationship where men tend to be the one who controls both sex lives
and women tend to report experiencing unwanted sex and have less sexual satisfaction.
Socio-political participation and knowledge on gender related laws
Women’s family caregiving and role expectations and the wide acceptance of the cultural
gender assumption that men are better for leadership positions are key barriers limiting women’s
abilities to engage in socio-political activities.
Women were less likely to participate in political activities and were less likely to work in their
local government. The percentage of women who are party members is less than half of that of
men. The percentage of women working in local government is three times lower than that of men.
The number of men was more than double that of women in a leadership position in the
Party Committees, and seven times higher than that of women in the People Committee.
In general, there is little awareness of gender related laws such as the Law on Gender
Equality, the Law on Marriage and Family, and the Law on Control and Prevention of Domestic
Violence. Between 15% and 30% of people had never heard about the laws. More than two
thirds of them had only heard about the names and had vague knowledge of those laws. Only
3% to 6% reported having a clear understanding of the laws.
RECOMMENDATIONS
To address gender inequality in Vietnam, it is crucial to liberate women from their endless
domestic caregiver tasks without sacrificing the wellbeing of families. Policy intervention should:
1. Alter the traditional rigid gender attitudes on values and the roles of women.
This includes a set of educational programs and activities for different target populations:
Public education to alter the traditional gender attitudes that rigidly confine women to the role
of caregivers and to promote the perception that caring is a human attribute, and both men
and women are capable of taking on this role. Public education should also promote the
value of both son and daughter to reduce son preference and eliminate sex selection practices.
Special programs targeting women to i) help them to be aware that their core value is not
7. confined to caregiver roles; ii) inspire women’s autonomy and assertiveness to take an active
part in social and economic life; iii) encourage women to assume leadership roles, both within and
outside family contexts.
Promotion of men’s caring role through nationwide campaigns to sensitize men, convincing
them housework is also their responsibility, and develop a series of interactive communication
programs with positive role models to motivate men to do housework and create awareness
of their ability to handle this role just as well as women do.
Pre-marriage counseling program for young men and women to include sensitization of equal
share of housework, including family planning and reproductive health, domestic violence as
well as gender and family related laws.
Educating children on the equal sharing of housework and equipping boys and girls with skills
for doing housework from an early age through formal and family education.
2. Enforcing implementation of gender- and women-related laws. This should include:
Innovative and interactive educational program on gender-related laws including Law of
Gender Equality, Law of Marriage and Family, Law of Control and Prevention of Domestic
Violence and other laws to raise the public’s awareness of legal rights and obligations of men
and women in public and private spheres. For example, people should be aware that the housework
done in the family by a spouse is regarded as income-generating labor as it is defined by the 2014
Law of Marriage and Family.
Enforcing implementation of the 2013 Land Law to ensure women’s entitlement to land.
Enforcing the implementation of the Civil Code on inheritance to promote equal share of
family assets, especially land and housing as one measure to improve women’s status and
economic power.
Applying paternity leave in both public and private sectors.
Improve the coverage of social welfare and social security schemes for men and women
working in the private, agricultural and informal sector to ensure their access to their rights
and benefits, especially women’s rights and benefits related to their reproductive functions.
3. Improve key social services to reduce the burden of housework.
Along with the educational program to promote the equal share of housework, it is important
8. to support families through the provision of sufficient and quality services of childcare, health
care and care for the elderly.
4. Develop and implement a policy to facilitate access of women to career opportunities
through professional training.
Women are less likely to be promoted or attend training or conferences, partly due to their
caregiver roles in the family. Gender sensitive policy and strategy should be developed to
ensure women get access to opportunities and encourage women to take these opportunities
for their advancement.
5. Further research
Vietnam is undergoing rapid social change, including changes in gender relations. Therefore
updated and research-based evidence is needed to inform laws and policies and strengthen
law enforcement in a timely fashion.
There is a particular need for research to document more equitable gender practices that
exist in various domains or in different regions across the country.
So far, most of the efforts are oriented towards women at the absence of men. Yet gender equality
will never be reached if men continue to refuse sharing the responsibility of domestic work,
be dominant over decision making in both private and public spheres, and perpetuate violence
against their partners. Therefore, research studies on men and masculinities are critically
needed to help develop an informed and comprehensive policy intervention to promote positive
behaviors and attitudes in men, thus contributing to address gender gaps, gender equality and the
well-being of both men and women.
