This document discusses human capital and its importance for rural development. It defines human capital as investments in education, training, and health that increase people's productivity. Studies show education increases incomes. For developing countries with large rural populations, transforming people into human capital through education, health, and values can help address lack of tangible capital. Rural development aims to improve quality of life and economies in isolated areas, and is characterized by locally-led strategies and programs from groups like Aga Khan Foundation, CTA, and USDA Rural Development.

Role of pakistani women in home & fieldXeshan Kassana
Women play important roles both at home and in agriculture according to the document. Biologically, women's role is as mothers, bearing and rearing children. Economically, women are income earners through activities like agriculture, livestock rearing, and non-farm work. Socially, women serve as housewives, taking care of domestic tasks like cooking, cleaning, and child rearing. In rural areas, traditional women had extensive workloads with responsibilities both at home and in farm work. Modern rural women still work heavily in agriculture and allied sectors, making up 89.5% of the female labor force. The document discusses women's multi-dimensional roles in agriculture, technology developed to support their work, and their continued importance in
Micro enterprise development and rural women enterpurinship by Parvani SharmaParvani Sharma
This document discusses micro enterprise development and rural women entrepreneurship as a way for economic development. It provides context on the history and status of women in India and highlights their significant yet often unrecognized contributions to agriculture and food production. Specifically, rural women constitute 48.6% of the agricultural workforce but face numerous challenges including gender inequities, lack of access to resources, and health issues due to their heavy workloads. Micro-enterprises in areas like agriculture, livestock, and household operations can help empower rural women economically by providing income generation opportunities and improving their status and decision-making power in their families and communities. Overall, the document makes the case that supporting rural women entrepreneurs through micro-enterprises is an important strategy for

This document discusses the role of women in agriculture in Pakistan. It notes that women comprise 41% of the global agricultural workforce and play a vital role in crop production activities from preparation to harvesting. In Pakistan, rural women contribute to all crop production operations while also handling domestic responsibilities. However, their efforts often go unrecognized. Major constraints faced by women include poor health, lack of safety, discriminatory attitudes, domestic violence, limited access to training, education, credit, and technology. The document outlines several ways to empower women such as improving support services, collecting gender-disaggregated data, enhancing education and training opportunities, and developing women's entrepreneurial skills.
1. The document examines macroeconomic implications of gender gaps in labor force participation.
2. Female labor force participation rates remain low globally at 50% on average, with significant cross-regional differences.
3. Closing gender gaps in labor markets could boost GDP substantially in many countries by enabling women to develop their full economic potential.

Women play an important economic role in Bangladesh, particularly in agriculture, the garment industry, and small and medium enterprises. In agriculture, women make up 46.75% of the population engaged in the sector and perform tasks from seed selection to crop harvesting and storage. They are also heavily involved in livestock, poultry, and home gardening. The garment industry employs over 2.88 million women, comprising 78% of the workforce. SMEs employ over 87% of the industrial workforce but women entrepreneurs currently own less than 10% of businesses. The document examines the contributions and challenges women face in these three key economic sectors.
Rural areas have low population densities and are located in open country settings. Rural development aims to improve social, economic, and cultural conditions in villages and small towns through initiatives to build infrastructure, provide public services, boost communication, and enhance health, education, living conditions, and employment opportunities. A large percentage of the world's and India's poor live in rural areas, where lack of adequate sanitation, nutrition, safe water, and other factors have negative health impacts according to the World Health Organization.
The document discusses gender analysis in agriculture and allied sectors. It notes that women farmers contribute significantly to global food security but are often excluded from access to resources and decision making. Gender analysis aims to understand differences in men and women's roles, skills, access to resources and priorities. This helps overcome barriers, promote equal opportunities and ensure technologies do not negatively impact women. The document provides several case studies showing how commercialization can change traditional gender roles and impact women's livelihoods. It emphasizes the importance of understanding local gender norms and involving both men and women for agricultural interventions to be successful.

This document discusses youth participation, unemployment, and poverty in Nigeria and their impact on national security and economic development. It notes that while Nigeria has abundant resources, many youth live in poverty due to unemployment and underemployment. It argues that lack of youth participation and their unemployment and poverty are due to corruption in the Nigerian state and a lack of prioritizing youth issues. The document concludes that addressing youth unemployment and empowering youth must be a priority to achieve sustainable national security and economic development.
11.socio economic obstacles of women empowerment in rural bangladeshAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a study on the socio-economic obstacles to women's empowerment in rural Bangladesh. The study was conducted in Puthia Upazila of Rajshahi District. It found that many women face restrictions from their families, including 24% not being allowed to go to school. Additionally, 30.40% of women are victims of early marriage.

The document provides context on women's roles and empowerment in Bangladeshi society, and the rationale for this particular study.
Globalisation & its impact on women workforceShingla Prabha
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.

Pragmatic approaches to sustainable development through rural women empowerme...Alexander Decker
Rural women in Bangladesh face many obstacles to empowerment, including lack of access to education, early marriage, family restrictions, and economic hardship. Microcredit programs, participation in agriculture and poultry raising, and access to information and communication technologies can help empower rural women by increasing their involvement in economic activities and decision making. Future directions to further empower rural women include expanding microenterprises, providing skills training, strengthening women's leadership roles, and supporting family gardens and women's cooperatives.
This document outlines the empowerment of women as realizing their full potential through access to opportunities, resources, and decision making both inside and outside the home. The vision is a society where women can participate equally in all spheres of life and influence social change. The mission is to create an effective framework for developing policies, programs, and practices that ensure equal rights and opportunities for women in various aspects of life and governance.
1. There are several main approaches to rural development that have been used over the last 40 years, including conventional extension models, training and visit models, farming system research models, and cooperative extension models.
2. The document then describes each of these models in more detail, highlighting their key features and limitations. It provides examples of how each has been implemented in different countries.
3. Finally, the document outlines several important methods for rural development, such as on-farm demonstrations, agricultural information services, crop maximizing programs, extension through fellow farmers, credit-based extension, women's extension services, and farmer training programs.
This document discusses the importance of gender mainstreaming in rural development and its role in achieving the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. It outlines the eight Millennium Development Goals agreed upon in 2000, with a focus on Goal 3 to promote gender equality and empower women. The document argues that gender mainstreaming is crucial to effectively implement policies and legislation, ensure diverse representation, and reduce poverty. It provides examples of how greater participation of women in politics, agriculture and access to micro-finance can contribute to successful gender mainstreaming. Finally, it discusses how mainstreaming gender perspectives can help achieve several specific Millennium Development Goals related to eradicating poverty, improving gender equality and maternal health.
This document discusses educational mobility and brain drain in Nepal. It defines educational mobility as the movement of educated people from less economically advanced rural areas to more developed urban areas or other countries. Approximately 1,200 Nepalese leave the country daily, with 300,000 youth migrating annually for better career and education opportunities abroad. While remittances sent home reduce poverty, brain drain has negative impacts such as loss of skilled professionals and cultural distancing. To benefit from educational mobility, Nepal must improve education, increase local opportunities, and implement policies encouraging expatriates to return.
Basic Features and Strategies of Women’s Empowerment of a Developing Urban Ar...ijtsrd
Women’s Empowerment is a holistic and sustainable goal for development of a society. They are the resources of family, society, community and nation. They are the greatest asset of an economy. Urbanization processes are not properly guided their roles in this society. Transformation of gender roles in urban contexts will require wider community involvement as well as administration. They are disadvantaged in income poverty, asset poverty, time and power. This paper is properly focused on features of empowerment of women in this society, their educational status, employment opportunities, social and economic status, as well as future strategies.

This document provides an overview of a doctoral seminar on "Gender Mainstreaming in Agriculture: Issues, Problems and Prospects". It includes an introduction to key concepts like gender, gender mainstreaming, and objectives. It discusses why mainstreaming gender in agriculture is important by addressing links to poverty and basic human rights. It also outlines the methodology, including a case study, and structure of the seminar covering introductions, literature reviews, research methodology, outcomes and conclusions.
Poverty in India is widespread, and a variety of methods have been proposed to measure it. The official measure of Indian government, before 2005, was based on food security and it was defined from per capita expenditure for a person to consume enough calories and be able to pay for associated essentials to survive. Since 2005, Indian government adopted the Tendulkar methodology which moved away from calorie anchor to a basket of goods and used rural, urban and regional minimum expenditure per capita necessary to survive.
The World Bank has similarly revised its definition and benchmarks to measure poverty since 1990, with $2.25 per day income on purchasing power parity basis as the definition in use from 2005 to 2013. Some semi-economic and non-economic indices have also been proposed to measure poverty in India; for example, the Multi-dimensional Poverty Index placed 33% weight on number of years spent in school and education and 6.25% weight on financial condition of a person, in order to determine if that person is poor.
The document discusses globalization and its impacts. It notes that globalization has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty in China and India as they experienced high economic growth rates attributed to increasing globalization. However, there is growing opposition in developed countries to globalization. It then discusses specific impacts of China's globalization on developed countries, including cheaper Chinese exports putting pressure on domestic producers, China gaining technological innovations from developed countries to produce cheaper similar products, and China manipulating its currency to enhance international competitiveness.

Food, Water, and Energy Security in the Hindu Kush Himalayan Region: A Nexus Perspective
With limited land resources, inadequate energy supply, and growing water stress, South
Asia faces the challenge of providing enough water and energy to grow enough food for the
burgeoning population. Using secondary data from diverse sources, this paper explores the
food, water, and energy nexus from a regional dimension, emphasizing the role of Hindu
Kush Himalayan (HKH) ecosystem services in sustaining food, water, and energy security
downstream. The analysis reveals that the issues and challenges in the food, water, and
energy sectors are interwoven in many complex ways and cannot be managed effectively
without cross-sectoral integration. The most distinctive feature of the nexus in South Asia is
the high degree of dependency of downstream communities on upstream ecosystem
services for dry-season water for irrigation and hydropower, drinking water, and soil fertility
and nutrients. This finding suggests that along with cross-sectoral integration to improve
the resource-use efficiency and productivity of the three sectors, regional integration
between upstream and downstream areas is critical in food, water, and energy security.
Within the nexus approach in South Asia, equal attention should be paid to management of
HKH ecosystems–especially the watersheds, catchments, and headwaters of river systems–
and to tapping the potential of collaborative gains in water, hydropower, and other
ecosystem services through coordination across HKH countries.

Angry Birds was released in 2009 and is available on multiple operating systems. The initial angle of the bird when released from the slingshot equals the angle between the horizontal and the stretched slingshot, and this angle determines the path the bird will follow in the air. While math can help determine the optimal angle, it can be difficult to shoot with precise accuracy.

Abstract
Urbanisation often goes hand in hand with a rise in urban violence and crime that manifests in terms of street harassment of women and girls, stalking, sexual violence, blackmailing and extortion rackets. Children and women are seen as soft spots who can be victimized by predators. One such incident in the city is enough and the feeling of insecurity is spread like wild fire. It not only frightens girls and women, it controls every act they consider doing then onwards (UN Women, 2015).
Smart cities have to be Safe cities. Town planners, policy makers and budget experts need to do gender budgeting to ensure women-friendly civic infrastructure- water, sanitation, health care, safe transport, public toilets, helplines, skill development for crisis management and, safety at work place. While making budgets for social defense services, consideration must be given to safety of girls and women in schools and colleges in terms of prevention of child sexual abuse through public education and counselling facilities, separate toilets for girls and boys in schools, legal literacy on POCSO Act, 2012 and Prevention of Sexual Harassment Workplace Act, 2013. Provision must be made to have special cells in the police department to take action against display of pornographic images, SMS messages, cybercrimes that victimize young girls at public places or in public transport- buses, local trains, rickshaws and taxis.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
