This document discusses the impact of globalization on women in India. It notes that while globalization has opened up some economic opportunities for women, it has also negatively impacted women and increased their vulnerabilities in several ways. Women represent a large portion of unpaid and informal workers. They face greater risks of poverty and make lower wages than men. Despite making up over half the workforce, women have less economic and social rights and autonomy. Overall, while some women have benefited from new opportunities, globalization has tended to exacerbate existing inequalities facing women in India.

Gender Discrimination & Women Empowermentsachin tiwari
This presentation is about women empowerment & gender discrimination. Here, I have added a lot of facts & figures.
I have tried to highlight all the problems & hurdles regarding this problem and also suggested some ideas that can overcome all these problems.
A detailed Powerpoint Presentation that will enable you to understand the concept of women's empowerment in easy language and in the best possible way. I hope you will like it and kindly give your suggestion so that improvement can be made in this presentation.
The PowerPoint presentation is all about the need for empowerment, existing problems, and gender equality. (Also an interview transcript is attached with the PPT)
T'his policy paper demonstrates how LDC women's concerns are to be integrated into AID's program. Other policy papers recognize various roles LDC women play. For example, the Food and Agriculture paper highlights women as agricultural producers, farm laborers and family food providers, and recommends an expansion of their opportunities in the food-related and agriculture fields.
The Water and Sanitation paper recognizes women's stake in the provision of clean water and sanitation for the community. The Nutrition paper points out that since women's income is most likely to go toward food for her family, improving nutrition through increased in-come generation should focus on women.
The Private Enterprise paper establishes four priorities for AID's investment (agriculture, agribusiness, small scale industries and private sector service enterprises), all of which are important areas for women's involvement. But, unlike most of AID's policy statements, the Women in Development Policy is cross-sectoral; it is meant to provide the policy framework and overall practical guidance for each sector and for the Agency as a whole in its efforts to incorporate women into the total development process.

Summary of AID Women in Development Policy
(1) AID will take into account the actual and potential roles of LDC women in carrying out its development assistance program. This will be done in all AID's country strategies and projects in order to ensure achievement of development goals, through:
a. overall country programs and individual project designs which reflect the distinct roles and.functions of LDC women as they relate to project implementation;
b. strategies for explicitly benefiting women and girls in all sectors within countries, and in all projects within sectors which are developed and implemented as an integral part of AID's work;
c. sex-disaggregated data collection, gender-specific social-soundness analysis and economic analysis, monitoring and evaluation.
(2) AID will also, under appropriate conditions, support LDC women's institutions and programs where special efforts are required to reach women because of cultural conditions, where separate programs and facilities are deemed necessary, or where women's groups provide a particularly advantageous vehicle for addressing women's needs.
(3) AID recognizes that the productivity of women is important to personal, family and national well-being. Women's increased productivity depends on their improved access to resources, e.g. land, improved farming techniques, information, employment; therefore, a. where lack of education and training constrain women's effective access to more productive work, AID will seek to increase relevant knowledge and skills among women and girls;

The real conversation is taking a step back and looking at diversities statistics collectively. When you do that then you start some of the real issues.
Example, the velocity of women climbing the corporate ladder, etc.
Prior to 1991, the industrial relations system in India sought to control conflicts and disputes through excessive labor legislation. These labor laws were protective in nature and covered a wide range of aspects of workplace industrial relations like laws on health and safety of labors, layoffs and retrenchment policies, industrial disputes and the like.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

buzzword that has come to
dominate the world since the
nineties of the last century
with the end of the cold war.
• In general, it is the ‘process of

of persons, goods, capital,
data and ideas’.
3. • India opened up its economy in the early nineties
following a major crisis led by a foreign exchange
crunch
• A Global comparison shows that India is now the
fastest growing economy just after China.
• In terms of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) it ranks
3rd in the world. The accelerated rate of growth
helps it to rise from the 10th largest to the 3rd

Globalisation & WomenGlobalisation & Women
5. • In India today, globalization has had positive and negative implications
within the male-dominant society.
• Women represent the largest group of “unpaid” workers, both in rural
and urban areas. Globally, proportion of women who are “contributing
family workers” is 34.5 percent, compared to 24.9 percent of men (ILO,
2008).
• In India, male casual workers increased from 65 percent in 1972 to 80
percent in 2002; female casual workers increased from 89 percent to 92
percent over the same period (World Bank, 2008).
• Studies have shown that the burden of poverty falls more heavily on
women than on men. The inequality in income and consumption levels
between women and men has also been documented. At least 11% of
households in India are supported solely by women's income & termed
as “female-headed households” (FHH).
6. • Despite representing more than half of the work force,
why are women in economically vulnerable condition?
• Women are getting less than men for the same work.
Why do majority of the countries neglect the ILO’s
charters, especially equal pay for equal work?
• Women’s political, social and economic rights are an
integral and inseparable part of their human rights. But
most countries still do not consider women’s rights
seriously especially those relating to economic rights
thus there is need to analyze and assess its impact on
women work force in general and the Indian women in
particular, at the millennium.

margins to craft their futures centre stage.
• The facts are there for all to see: nascent industries like
BPO and biotechnology are expected to employ 2.3 million
people by 2010 and 100 million by 2012. Winds of
opportunity are ruffling our fortunes, and in the midst of it

35. Survey report of National commission for women,2005 shows that:-
• As globalization shifts agriculture to a capital-intensive chemical-intensive
system, women bear the disproportionate costs of both displacement and
health hazards.
• Women carry the heavier work burden in food production, but because of
gender discrimination they get lower returns for their work.
• Globalization has destroyed rural livelihoods of many and it is women who lose
the most. When the WTO allows dumping, which leads to a drop in farm product
prices, women are hit the hardest because their incomes go down further
• It finds that there has been a spurt in the various forms of violence against
women like rape, female foeticide, and dowry deaths and trafficking in women,
etc, as the impact of shifts in the rural economy is felt.
• It also points out that women are the ultimate sufferers of increased incidents of
farm suicides as they are left to look after the household with no assets and the
burden of indebtedness on their shoulders
40. REALITY: Is higher work participation
of women does have positive impact
on their status
41. GENDER SENSITIVE POLICIES OF THE
GOVERNMENT
• The Indian constitution has gender equality and womens’ rights
issues
• Article 15(3) empowers state to make affirmative discrimination
in favour of women
• Article (39) - directs state policy towards providing men and
women equal right to means of livelihood and equal pay for
equal work
• Article (42) directs state to make provisions for ensuring just
and humane conditions of work and maternity relief
• Article(51a) imposes fundamental duty on every citizen to
renounce practices derogatory to the dignity of women
• Tenth Plan(2002-2007) focuses on empowering women socially
and economically and eliminate gender discrimination
42. WORKPLACE POLICIES AND
PRACTICES
• Two distinct sectors with a third sector making its
presence :Private, Public and the ITES
• Work culture and ethics distinctly different in each.
• Leave provisions and promotional avenues vastly
different.
• One of the common policies: Maternity leave.
• Factories Act(1948): employer must provide a creche
where more than 30 women work full time.
• Same act prevents women from being employed on
the shop floor in heavy machinery industries.
43. CONCLUSION
•women's experiences with globalization are extremely complex and
diverse, both positive and negative. Just how one is affected by
globalization depends on intersecting factors such as class, nationality,
race, ability, religion, age and education.
•There are some women who have significantly benefited from current
global trends through better employment opportunities and
autonomy, access to new technologies and increased purchasing
power.
•On the other hand, globalization processes have also meant greater
insecurity and hardship for many other women. Cuts in social services,
increased privatization and a flexible labour force are all inherent
characteristics of globalization.
•women disproportionately encounter low wages, poor working
conditions and escalating risks
44. CONCLUSION
• Globalization can have a positive or negative effect on
women in India, but with globalization there is the
power to uproot the traditional views towards women
so they can take an equal stance in society
• As the process is irreversible, it is important that the
government and all organizations working for the
cause of women are conscious about this divide
between rural and urban women, organized and
unorganized sector and ensure that a significant
number should not be left out or alienated in the
process.
