Two contested arguments persist in explaining the causes of feminization and labor vulnerability. Some scholars argue that global industries are dominated by female workers as a result of the search for cheap labor. On the other hand, some scholars claim that the primary cause of feminization and labor vulnerability is the gendered discourses of work. Drawing views from readymade garment (RMG) industries of Bangladesh, this paper argues that both economic choices of cheap labor and gendered discourses of work collaboratively contribute to feminizing the labor force. This feminization of the workforce enables the violation of labor rights and benefits capitalists. 相似文献

This study used a semi gravity model to identify the determinants of FDI in ASEAN countries. The results revealed that besides
the market size for host and source country, other criteria such as the shorter the distance, common in language and border,
the extended market relative to distance also attracts more foreign investors. Other macroeconomic factors such as lower inflation
rate, the slightly higher in exchange rate and good management of the government budget are among the key factors that attract
more FDI. In addition to economic factors, social factors such as good telecommunication and infrastructure and non-economic
factors such transparency and trade policy also encourage more investors to the ASEAN. 相似文献

In this paper, we study many-to-one matching (hospital–intern markets) with an aftermarket. We first show that every stable
matching system is manipulable via aftermarket. We then analyze the Nash equilibria of capacity allocation games, in which
preferences of hospitals and interns are common knowledge and every hospital determines a quota for the regular market given
its total capacity for the two matching periods. Under the intern-optimal stable matching system, we show that a pure-strategy
Nash equilibrium may not exist. Common preferences for hospitals ensure the existence of equilibrium in weakly dominant strategies
whereas unlike in games of capacity manipulation strong monotonicity of population is not a sufficient restriction on preferences
to avoid the non-existence problem. Besides, in games of capacity allocation, it is not true either that every hospital weakly
prefers a mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium to any larger regular market quota profiles. 相似文献

Recent studies have shown that social "compassion" issues, andnot those directly linked to womens interests, seem todrive the gender gap in presidential vote choice. Some of thesecompassion issues are associated with the plight of racial minoritiesin the media and in the minds of average citizens. Drawing ontheories of gender role socialization, we predict that traditionalpartisan stands on racial issues may help to explain the gendergap. Specifically, we hypothesize that the gap emerges becausemen and women react differently to cues about how compassionatecandidates are toward vulnerable social groups. In one experiment,we manipulate news information regarding George W. Bushscommitment to blacks versus women. The gender gap is maximizedwhen Bush takes the traditional Republican stance, while itis reduced significantly when Bush espouses a more moderateposition. The gender gap is unaffected by variation in the positionthat Bush takes on womens issues. In another experiment,we also find that the gender gap emerges when traditional partisanappeals are racialized. Finally, exposure to the 2000 RepublicanNational Convention, with its message of racial inclusion, boostedevaluations of Bush among women but not men. 相似文献

The present study addresses the distinction between contemporary and old-fashioned prejudice using survey data from a national
sample (n = 600) of self-identified whites living in the United States and interviewed by telephone in 2001. First, we examine associations
among indicators of contemporary and old-fashioned prejudice. Consistent with the literature, contemporary and old-fashioned
prejudice indicators represent two distinct but correlated common factors. Second, we examine whether belief in genetic race
differences uniformly predicts both types of prejudice. As might be expected, belief in genetic race differences predicts
old-fashioned prejudice but contrary to recent theorizing, it also predicts contemporary prejudice. 相似文献

This paper examines some of the implications of introducing penalties for output not equalling demand by employing a general stochastic model for a firm facing an uncertain demand with a known probability density function. Several alternative objectives of the firm are considered: (1) maximization of expected profits; (2) maximization of the probability of achieving a particular target level of profits; and (3) maximization of target profits, given a target level of the probability of their being achieved. It is shown that the resulting probability density function of profits is not well defined. The shape and location of the function depend on the relative magnitudes of the model parameters and the output decision. Several important implications of this result for cost-volume-profit analysis are discussed. 相似文献
