Gender and development

 
Summary)
     Gender and development aim to improve the economic development of all countries and the quality of life of the people, taking into account various factors. Gender and development began in the 1950s with welfare policies focused on women in economic development. Developed here, WAD has the characteristic that it considered women an essential element of development as a theoretical and practical development approach. However, the WAD is criticized for failing to consider the relationship between the patriarchal system, considering women as a class. Afterwards, GAD has nothing special to do with women, but it focuses on gender distinction between labor and Lunar New Year's Day, redefining gender role expectations. And GAD gives society roles, responsibilities, and expectations to both women and men. But GAD is criticized for ignoring their ties, focusing only on the social differences between women and men.
 

What's interesting, what's new?)
     I found gender and microfinance interesting. Some development agencies say that women are more likely to pay off their debts than men, so they consider women as the key to the development of success. After hearing this story, an advertisement by a third financial company targeting women came to mind in an advertisement in Korea. And I wondered if the company was a well-paid company for women. The Malayasia study was also interesting to support the argument that this small credit allows women to participate in and fulfill their abilities in society.
 
 
The part I want to discuss with others)
     According to a study conducted by Malaysia, AIM, a version of small credit, had a positive effect on strengthening Muslim women's authority in strengthening control over family planning and decision-making at home. Do you agree with the argument that microcredit is contributing to women's participation in their abilities in society?

    I agree with some of the arguments that microcredit contributes to women's ability to participate in society. For example, consider taking out a loan to do a business. Loans in the primary financial sector will be relatively less easy for women. This is because the bank will lend money in consideration of the profits it earns now, and the amount of money it can borrow will be significantly lower depending on the income gap according to the existing gender and the low authority of Muslim women. But if we use microcredit, this aspect seems to be somewhat overcome.

W4. Millennium Development Goals / Lee Se Hyun

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.

W10. Human_rights / Lee Se Hyun

Summary Human rights are the basic right to live as a person. This is an absolute domain. Applicable regardless of ethnicity, gender, age, or location and guaranteed by international law. Human rights have been modified and established over a long period of time. From ancient times to the post-World War II international human rights treaties, various changes and considerations continued. Since the 1966 Human Rights Treaty, the concept of human rights has been established and human rights are guaranteed at the international level through the UN, an international organization.
