In letzten 100 Jahren wurden mehrere Maßnahmen gesetzt, mit dem Zweck die Stellung der Frau in der Gesellschaft zu verbessern. Allerdings kann nicht behauptet werden, dass in der heutigen Gesellschaft eine ausreichende Gleichberechtigung, bzw. eine Gleichbehandlung erreicht wurde, in der Menschen auf Grund ihres Geschlechts fair und gleiche behandelt werden. Diese Masterarbeit wird unter anderem die Fragen prüfen(1), ob es heutzutage möglich ist, einen geschlechtergleichen oder feministischen Staat auszubauen, (2) eine nähere Erläuterung Rawls und seiner Theorie der Gerechtigkeit und (3) Amartya Sen's Fähigkeit-Ansatzes. Ziel ist es herauszufinden, ob jene zeitgenössischen politisch-philosophischen Theorien Änderungen herbeiführen könnten, oder bei der Schaffung einer solchen geschlechtergleichen und fairen Gesellschaft hilfreich wären, und vielleicht sogar direkt als Basis für eine solche Gesellschaft angewendet werden könnten.Zur Beantwortung der ersten Frage werden Texte von MacKinnon und Kantola herangezogen, welche unterschiedlichen Ansichten über die Möglichkeit vertreten, einen feministischen Staat zu schaffen. Für die zweite Frage wird eine persönliche Sichtweise der Theorien Rawls präsentiert, verknüpft mit der Meinung, für welche Susan Mollin Okin eintrat. Als Grundlage für eine Behandlung der dritten Frage werden Texte Amartya Sens, Cohens und Pogges dienen.Intention dieser Masterarbeit ist die Vermittlung der vorhandenen Ansätze, Streitfragen und Lösungsvorschläge, und falls möglich sogar beide Parteien auf einen Konsens zu bringen. ; In the past 100 years several significant acts were taken with purpose to improve women position in society. However it could not be argued that we achieved a gender equal society, where people would be treated fair and equal regardless their gender. This Master thesis will consider questions (1) if it is possible to create that certain equal or feministic state as such, (2) stressed particularly Rawls and his Theory of Justice and (3) Amartya Sens Capability Approach in order to find out if those contemporary political philosophy theories could be modified or developed in order to create such a gender equal society or be directly applied as a base of such a state.To clarify first question I will use controversial texts from MacKinnon and Kantola, which have different views on possibility to create a feministic state. In order to answer second question I will introduce my own criticism to Rawlss theory and cooperate it with views of Susan Mollin Okin. For considerations on third question will be taken texts from Amartya Sen, Cohen and Pogge.Achievement of this Master thesis is identification of an existing dispute and suggestions on possible directions in which consensus for both parties could be reached. ; vorgelegt von Santalainen Alena ; Zusammenfassungen in Deutsch und Englisch ; Abweichender Titel laut Übersetzung des Verfassers/der Verfasserin ; Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz, Masterarbeit, 2016 ; (VLID)1331654

Women play an essential role in promoting economic and social development in a country, so it is crucial to increase job opportunities for women. However, there is still complexity and ambiguity in terms of equal work opportunities for men and women. In Central Asia, it is mostly women who suffer from unequal opportunities at work and in life due to culture, society, religion, economics and politics. Women's contributions in the economic and social sphere are devalued and underestimated. There are, however, several strategies to strengthen women in order to make their rights equal with men, especially in the labour market in Central Asian regions. This article will discuss about the gender inequality in labour markets in Kazakhstan and the change in the role of women over the last years.

Women in Nepal have long experienced poverty, social exclusion, and marginalization because of their gender, especially among ethnic minorities and low-caste groups. Between 2002 and 2013, the Asian Development Bank and the Government of Nepal developed and implemented the Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women Project to reduce poverty by empowering rural women and members of other disadvantaged groups through an integrated process of economic, social, legal, and political empowerment. This publication presents the case study of that project which contributed to Nepal's drive to eradicate gender-based inequality.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) reports on studies highlighting the statistically significant relationship between companies with women in their upper ranks and companies with positive financial performance. In general, it has been observed that women's greater engagement fosters greater credibility for institutions and more active participation in public life. Nevertheless, women are still underrepresented in leadership positions. Moreover, the gender pay gap persists, and they are often marginalised within industries and labour markets. The relative dearth of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) as well as in research organisations' leadership positions is a significant political issue that EMSO ERIC is trying to face, taking the opportunity from implementing its first Gender Equality Plan (GEP). Gender equality requires all genders to access and enjoy the same opportunities. Accordingly, aligned with UN SDG 5, EMSO is strengthening its policies for more inclusive work practices to guarantee that all genders can access the same rewards, resources, and professional growth. EMSO GEP foresees an explicit budget dedicated to gender equality policies, which is needed to promote accountability and transparency in fiscal planning, increase gender responsiveness in the budget process, and promote gender equality and women's rights. This document addresses gender issues at all organisational levels, from the governing bodies to the researchers associated with the EMSO ERIC activities in the operative groups.
