Gender and development / Kim Ami


1.     Summary

Gender and development to economic development and globalization, their location, gender, class background and other social identity, in accordance with the disparate impact on people.A feminist approach to solve, understanding and implementation. In other words, we are considering that development has different effects on men and women. Looking at the initial approach, the term "women in development" was used in the early 1970s. And to have returned from the women's movement in the developed world, was promoted through the liberal feminist. They paid attention to women's production labor, and made repeated demands for employment opportunities. In addition to the WID approach, WAD, GAD, etc. are included in the initial approach.
Meanwhile, the emergence of neoliberalism, which privatizes the public industry, removes laws or policies that hinder the free flow of the market, and shrinks all social services, has resulted in the characterization of gender and outsourcing. Outsourcing refers to when a Western company transfers some business to another country, where women are mainly employed in inexpensive jobs. However, it is a problem that it can be replaced at any time. In addition to this, gender and microfinance, and smart economics are included in the neoliberal approach.

2.     Interesting point

The interesting part was that gender discrimination still exists within small financial institutions themselves in the gender and microfinance sectors, and that there is also small credit within the community that affects existing discrimination. In addition, looking at Grameen's beneficiaries, women faced domestic violence as they earned more than men.

3.     Discuission

In some cases in Bangladesh, you can see that there is violence against women while small credit increases women's social advancement. How can we solve this problem?

    I think the policy of respecting and protecting women should also increase. I think Bangladesh should also add specific procedures when it goes through pre-loan screening so that it can be aware that other violence can be produced by favoring women when providing small loans. And I think we should not only prefer women when offering small loans, but also men.

Summary The Millennium Development Goals were established under the International Development Goals. Millennium Development Goals, or MDGs, sought 191 U.N. member states and more than 22 international organizations to achieve their goals by 2015. MDGs have promoted the development of the international community. Poverty, hunger eradication, universal education level, gender equality, disease, environment and development of developing countries were targeted. However, it has been criticized for lack of legitimacy, neglect of female inequality in employment, and uneven achievement rate, but it has contributed a lot to many equal development. Interesting point I knew that international politics was carried out in a complex and selfish atmosphere. However, upon encountering the MDGs, I learned that the international community is making great efforts to ensure human rights. Among the MDG criticisms, criticism of women's inequality was interesting. The phenomenon of female ineq...

What is meant by that? / Lee hayoung

Q. Society is not determined by technology, nor is technology determined by society. Both emerge as two sides of the sociotechnical coin. What is meant by that? A. So to begin with, I think that society and technology are the relationships that influence each other, the concepts that one cannot include or dominate. There is technology in society, and technology exists because there is society. I think it's an inseparable relationship, so I think it can be expressed in both sides of a coin.
