Not long ago, an Indian woman, even a working Indian woman, would almost always have moved from her parents' house to her husband's. Perhaps her only freedom would be during college, when she might live on campus or take a room for a year or two at what is known here as the working women's hostel. That trajectory has begun to loosen, as a surging economy creates new jobs, prompts young professionals to leave home and live on their own and slowly, perhaps unwittingly, nudges a traditional society to accept new freedoms for women.

Synopsis: Since the 1990s, a number of women's non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have undertaken overseas-funded participatory gender and development projects in rural China. Through their efforts to empower women and increase their community participation, these NGOs and the projects they run are introducing new ideas and practices relating to governance, as well as to gender and development. The aim of this report is to understand the dimensions of the new approaches to rural governance, the history and politics of their introduction, the directions in which they are shaping governance in villages across China, and their impact on gender relations. The report focuses on the work of West Women.

- This text is about commissions on the status of women. It is talking about the most important proposals for commissions on the status of women emerged out of the conflict over the Equal Rights Amendment. The commission's most enduring contribution was its role in helping to launch the contemporary feminist movement. Through the creation of state commissions on the status of women, the president's commission fostered a national network of primarily white, middle-class women concerned with these issues. It was at the 1966 national gathering of state commissioners that the National Organization for Women was founded.

Compared to most Asian countries, Taiwan has a higher percentage of women holding elected offices. How and why Taiwanese women have achieved this greater degree of gender parity in politics is a question not only intellectually intriguing but also politically important. This paper argues that Taiwanese women have enjoyed a higher degree of political participation because Taiwanese feminists in recent years have helped to transform an old institutional design into a new and forward-looking system. The old institutional design is the reserved-seats system that has been a constitutionalized political practice in Taiwan for decades, and the forward-looking system is to set a gender quota for presidential...

The article discusses the changes in gender policies that have been affected by global discourse in South Korea. It notes that the women's agenda that are based on human rights have pushed government to establish new legislation for women including the Korea government; however, the government is likely to establish policies that disregard various women's situations. Lastly, women's issues cannot be unified in a general national policy if women's circumstances remain diverse. Therefore, various strategies to address specific practices in local contexts are necessary.

In the nineteenth century, women were regarded as politically different from men and the main marker of that difference was the absence of the vote. Once women won the right to vote, the distinction between men's and women's citizenship necessarily changed. Women moved toward a political identity as liberal individual citizens. Yet this change was partial and uneven, as their citizenship remained somewhat grounded in their status in the domestic realm. Further, counterbalancing the tendency towards political inclusion was the movement to reorder the hierarchy of social groups within the imagined political community of the nation. In the 1920s, women took their place within a reordered hierarchy of civic standing

Title: Women's right and College students employment

THESIS: Gender discrimination on employment for college students is still a problem in our society, people and government should always take attendance on it.

RESEARCH METHOD

I. Introduction. Our society always encourage and emphasizes equality between the sexes . Actually, sexual discrimination is already became history in many countries, especially in America, Britain and many other develop countries. Women's right is much more powerful than 10 years before. However, women employment is still a problem all over the world.

II .Method My research paper is research from the Online library of LongIsland University C.W Post, Academic OneFile and ProQuest . Most of these data are Journals and Magazines.

DATA COLLECTION

III. College students Employment is still a big problem in our society.A. For female college students, to find a comfortable job is always more harder than men nowadays, there are many different reasons lead to this result, but the main reason is people's old perception on employment.B. Women's jobs are mostly still limited in some general area such as nurse and waiter. Because women are not fit for heavy work on the physiology side.

IV. However, women's right is almost just on legal regulations, the existing reality is not just nice as people wishes, especially in some country as Japan, women are more considered as the as housewives, but not anyone who need to do works to feed the whole family. In some people's brain, to manage the house and take care of children is women's responsibility, they believe a job is just the patent for men.

FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS

V.On psychologic side, most women are more tender than males. the company official is also tend to distribute women to specific area. Although there's no obvious sexual discrimination, this is more like a kind of potential rule and mental suggestion.

VI. On physillogic side, it is more obvious that men and women are equal, but not the same. there is an truth that even the same job, female staff may get less salary each month because they are less efficiency than men for physillogic factor. If women need to get the same or better work than men, they may should use more time and power on it.

VII. The conditions are different in different countries and region. To make a clear example, even both America and Japan are developed country and their social economic conditions are similar. The cultural identity on women's right, especially on employment is absolutely different.A. In America, women are much more free than Asian countries and Arab countries. On employment side, American women are famous for have a strong healthy body and personal initiative. In fact, it is mostly owe to the open social perception.B. the culture in Japan consider that women have the responsibility to serve men. These culture reason always reduced the opportunity on employment for female college students in this country.

VIII. However, women could do works and mission that men can not do, this is women's advantage.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONSI

X. The gender problem on college students employment in our society is not just simple. It is not as obvious as it like many years ago, but the discrimination will not disappear in resent years. People should take care on it.

Annotated bibliography

1. Tyson, Laura D'Andrea. "What Larry Summers Got Right; Yes, many women opt out of the workplace. What can business do?" Business Week 28 Mar. 2005: 24. Academic OneFile. 20 Mar. 2010.

This article discusses the problem that many high-qualified women choose to opt out of the high-powered jobs, its causes and what companies can do to retain talented women. It gives a survey in Harvard Business Review that shows a large portion of women voluntarily left work at some point in their careers. The most common reason is to care for the children, the elderly and the spouses. However, almost all the women who take time off from work want to come back, but not everyone can. The survey results indicate that jobs with reduced hours and flexible arrangements will be valued by women.

This article includes many statistical numbers that are very useful for my essay. Those numbers can support my idea that high-qualified women don’t always want high-powered jobs.

2. “The inequity of marriage and parenthood." Training & Development 45.4 (1991): 11+. Academic OneFile. 20 Mar. 2010.

The journal points out that married women earn equally to single ones when they are in their twenties, but married women earn less in relation to single women as they get older. It explains that married women who stay at home with their children during the first few years lose the experience that leads to career advancement and higher salaries. In addition, women who return to work after having a baby may be willing to accept a lower salary in exchange for such benefits as flexible working hours.

The numbers given in the journal can help prove my point of difference in wage between married women and singles ones. Also, the author’s ideas give me some more insightful thoughts of the problem.

3. Richards, D.. "Women still waiting for pay equity. " Australian Nursing Journal 17.7 (2010): 26-26. Research Library, ProQuest. 20 Mar. 2010.

The article brings out the problem of inequity in wage that women receive. The average industry gender pay gap is still around 17% with some industries like finance and insurance at 31.9%. Since 1992 the pay gap has actually grown. Women appear to be employed in workplaces or situations where they have less bargaining power and have not fared as well in enterprise bargaining or individual contracts.

I can use statistical numbers from the article to support that there is a big gap in wages paid to men and women.

4. Lerner, Sharon. "The part-time bind: work-from-home scams target mothers searching for the flexibility that traditional employers don't provide." The American Prospect 21.3 (2010): 39+. Academic OneFile. 21 Mar. 2010.

The article discusses the issue that many women choose to stay at home to take care of their children, but they still have to look for jobs whose schedules are flexible. This is a solution for women to balance both work and caring for family, however, there are disadvantages such as the risk of losing money instead of earning, ruined friendships…

There are many cases, personal anecdotes in this article, which make my paper more convincible. They support my opinion that women choose to quit jobs to take care of their families.

5. “Resident Experience of Abuse and Harassment in Emergency Medicine: Ten Years Later." Journal of Emergency Medicine 38.2 (2010): 248+. Academic OneFile. 21 Mar. 2010.

This is a report of a survey carried out to determine the prevalence of abuse and harassment 10 years after 1995 to bring attention to these issues and determine if there has been a change in the prevalence of abuse over this time period. The survey results show that abuse and harassment during EM residency continues to be commonplace and is underreported.

This report provides me with statistical numbers. I will use these numbers to prove my point that women are victims of sexual harassment at workplace and the trend is not going to change.

6. Bubar, Roe. "Cultural competence, justice, and supervision: sexual assault against native women." Women & Therapy33.1-2 (2010): 55+. Academic OneFile. 21 Mar. 2010.

This reports claims that Native women in the United States have the highest incidence of sexual assault, and Alaska Native women may have the highest incidence of sexual assault of any women in the United States. This article outlines the plight of Native women with regard to sexual assault and abuse and provides an overview of the sensitivity and knowledge that social workers and other mental health workers should have when working with Native American women.

This article includes many statistical numbers that are useful to prove my point about sexual harassment. It also gives me some background information about sexual issues in tribal communities.

7. “Sexual harassment costs big bucks, careers." Women in Higher Education June 2006: 3. Academic OneFile. 21 Mar. 2010.

This article includes two cases of two men who had sexually harassed their coworkers. They had been required to pay a large amount of money and to retire immediately.

The two cases can be strong evidences for my paper. Readers can see the present situation of sexual harassment and its consequences.

8. Buerhaus, Peter I., et al. "Still making progress to improve the hospital workplace environment? Results from the 2008 National Survey of registered nurses." Nursing Economics 27.5 (2009): 289+. Academic OneFile. 21 Mar. 2010.

This article is about improvements in hospital workplace in 2008, compared to that in 2006. Improvements included the time RNs spend with patients, quality of nursing care, and a decreasing impact of the shortage on delaying nurses' responses to pages or calls, staff communication, patients' wait time for surgery, and timeliness and efficiency of care. However, there are areas that are even worse than before: overtime hours, sexual harassment/hostile, and physical violence.

There are numbers in this article shows that many more registered nurses report sexual harassment in 2008 than in 2006. This is another good example to support my point of sexual harassment at workplace.

9. Sachs, Andrea. “Big girls still don’t cry”. Time; 3/8/2010, Vol. 175 Issue 9, pG6-G6, 1p, 1 Diagram. Academic Search Premier. 3/21/2010.

The article discusses women in the workplace and inequities in their treatment despite representing the majority of the workforce. Women's employment issues are said to include disproportionately low representation in management positions, wage discrimination, sexual harassment, and penalties for pregnancy. The market for women's employment counseling is noted by reference to several available books on the subject.

This article gives me more ideas about my paper’s topic. Women have to suffer not only wage discrimination, sexual harassment but also penalties for pregnancy, which is really unfair.

10. “How to recognize and respond to sexual harassment in the workplace”. Massachusetts Nurse; Jan/Feb2010, Vol. 81 Issue 1, p20-20, 2/3p. Academic Search Premier. 03/21/2010.

The article provides information related to recognizing and responding to sexual harassment in the workplace. Sexual harassment is defined as sexually oriented comments about a person's body, unwanted physical contact, and offensive behavior. It cites ways on how to deal with sexual harassment which include keeping documentation, reporting the incident to a manager, and seeking support from co-workers.

This article shows readers how to recognize and respond to sexual harassment in the workplace. This suggests more solutions for the issues discussed in my paper.

Thesis statement: Even though the innovation of women's rights has begin since 19th century, and the women's rights has been realized diffusely in most countries, but the promotion level of women's rights in different countries is still difficult to be the same because of the different history background, traditional opinions, economic situation, and local power such as government. There still exists many hampers to realize the real equal of women's roghts.

1.The situation of women before the innovation of women's roghts.

This paragraph of the book explains with statistics how women progress since 1950 until 2007 in the labor force. It also explains what factor change the men dominance in the labor force as women are getting closer to the percentage that men have in the workplace.

The statistics show that when women where faced as equal to men through the years, there was an increase in the woman workplace with similar numbers to those of men. I will use these statistics in the introduction part to support my ideas in the following parts.

2. Barrett, Judy. “ Women Employment of.” Americans at war. (2005): 205-208. B. Davis Schwartz Memorial Library. Web. 15 March 2010.

This article focuses on the World War I and World War II. This wars open oportunities for women to work.Also this article provides statistics of specific jobs that were before solely for men and how women in those areas increase during and after the wars.

These evidence will provide some background information about the women role in the 19th century. In addition I will use these information to provide a more accurate introduction.

3. Marthur-Helm, Babita. Women and the glass ceiling in South African banks: an illusion or reality?” Bradford, 2006. 311. B. Davis Schwartz Memorial Library. Web. 15 March 2010.

This research shows that women have invisible glass ceilings in their jobs. A very low percentage of women manage to get to the higher positions in their jobs. Also it provides some reasons that this glass ceiling exist.

This research shows that there is clearly some inequality between men and women in the workplace due to many reasons that I will state in the research.

4.William A, Ed. “Discrimination, Wage.” Measuring Wage Discrimination. (2008):400-401 B. Davis Schwartz Memorial Library. Web. 15 March 2010.

This research says that there is discrimination in the wage of women and men. Women tend to get lower wages than men.

This will support my hypothesis that women tend to be treated unequal. Also I will develop ideas in the main body of the essay.

5.Erochine, Pavel. “Glass Ceilling.” International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences.(2008):325-326. B. Davis Schwartz Memorial Library. Web. 15 March 2010.

This article states the different reasons why women are treated unequal and also the reasons why there is the barriers that prevent women of achieving a better rank in their jobs.

This article will further support my hypothesis, and therefore make my thesis statement more convincing: that even today there is inequality present between women and men.
