Inhalt: Using data from a survey of Bangladeshi households, this paper constructs an index of women empowerment and explores both the determinants of empowerment of married women and the impacts that empowerment has on various aspects of a woman's life. The findings reveal that female education, her involvement in income generating activities (both formal and informal) and the structure of the household (unit or extended) are important determinants. As regards the impacts of empowerment on the female's life, the paper finds that empowerment affects her food intake and expenditure patterns in quantitative and qualitative terms - it positively impacts women's nutritional status and health care and confers positive impacts on taking family planning measures. Also empowered women’s behavior is less discriminating when it comes to serving food among family members.

Inhalt: Research suggests Australian childless women are at risk of pronatalism-driven social exclusion. This exploratory, mixed methods, cross-sectional study described and explored the social exclusion of Australian childless women aged 25 to 44
years, and asked: what are the nature and extent of social exclusion of childless women; and do the nature and extent of exclusion vary for different types of childless women? A total of 776 childless female Australian residents aged 25 to 44 years completed a self-administered questionnaire. Quantitative data were collected on childlessness types, indicators of exclusion and perceived stigmatisation and exclusion due to being childless. Data were analysed using descriptive
statistics, One Way ANOVAs and Kruskal Wallis Analysis of Ranks. Qualitative data on childless women’s experiences were inductively thematically analysed. Findings suggest societal-level pronatalism drives exclusion of Australian
childless women. While exclusion occurs in all domains of life, childless women experience more exclusion, and perceive more exclusion due to being childless, in the social and civic domains than the service and economic domains. Circumstantially and involuntarily childless women, followed by voluntarily childless women, perceive more exclusion due to being childless than undecided and future childed women. Experiences are influenced by the nature of women’s ‘deviance’ from pronatalism. (author's abstract)

Inhalt: "Ausgehend von dem Befund in der Literatur, dass Pendelmobilität von Frauen die Stabilität von Paarbeziehungen gefährden kann, untersucht der Beitrag Zusammenhänge von Pendelbelastung, Unzufriedenheit mit der Paarbeziehung und sozio- ökonomischen Merkmalen mittels Fuzzy-Set- Analyse. Als heuristischer Rahmen dient die Theorie der Sozialen Produktionsfunktionen, um die Auswirkungen weiter Pendelwege auf verschiedene Lebensbereiche zu verdeutlichen. Datengrundlage ist die 2008/9 erhobene erste Welle des deutschen Beziehungs- und Familienpanels (pairfam). Es werden N = 267 Berufspendlerinnen in Partnerschaft untersucht. Im Ergebnis zeigen sich fünf Konfigurationen von Fernpendlerinnen, von denen zwei unzufrieden mit ihrer Paarbeziehung sind. Dass diese tatsächlich als trennungsgefährdet gelten können, wird mittels Außenkriterien verifiziert. Ein konstituierendes Merkmal beider gefährdeten Partnerschaftskonfigurationen ist die Anwesenheit von kleinen Kindern." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "Based on the findings in the literature that women’s commuting can endanger the stability of couple relationships, this contribution examines correlations between commuting, dissatisfaction with the relationship, and socio-economic characteristics by means of fuzzy set analysis. The theory of social production functions serves as a heuristic framework to discuss the impact of long commutes on different areas of life. Data basis is the first wave of the German Family Panel (pairfam), conducted in 2008/2009. An N of 267 female commuters in partnerships is analyzed. The results show five configurations of female long commuters, two of them are dissatisfied with their relationship. That they are actually at risk of separation is verified by external criteria. A constituent part of both partnership configurations at risk is the presence of young children." (author's abstract)

Inhalt: "Kinderlosigkeit ist ein Phänomen, das in Deutschland besonders ausgeprägt ist. Bisherige Studien zeigen gruppenspezifische Unterschiede, jedoch ist das Zusammenspiel der Faktoren noch wenig erforscht. Diese Forschungslücke versucht der vorliegende Beitrag auf Basis von Dendrogrammanalysen und logistischen Regressionsanalysen mit Daten des Mikrozensus 2012 für Frauen der Jahrgänge 1950-1969 zu schließen. Die multivariaten Befunde zeigen, dass urbaner Wohnort, hoher Bildungsabschluss, kein Migrationshintergrund, keine Ehe und Vollzeiterwerbstätigkeit die Wahrscheinlichkeit von Kinderlosigkeit erheblich erhöhen und sich wechselseitig verstärken, während die Effekte pekuniärer Faktoren wegfallen. Drei Gruppendifferenzierungen sind bemerkenswert: Die geringe Kinderlosigkeit bei niedriger Bildung beruht überwiegend auf dem Effekt von Frauen mit Migrationshintergrund. Der Urbanisierungseffekt betrifft nur Frauen ohne Migrationshintergrund. Der ansteigende Trend von Kinderlosigkeit ist bei Akademikerinnen gestoppt - auf hohem Niveau: Eine Akademikerin in einer westdeutschen Großstadt ohne Migrationshintergrund ist zu 38% kinderlos, wenn sie Vollzeit arbeitet zu 51%. In Westdeutschland schreitet die Polarisierung zwischen Mutterschaft und Karriere weiter voran: Mutterschaft hat oft die Konsequenz einer dauerhaft geringen Teilhabe am Arbeitsmarkt. Umgekehrt führen die gewachsenen Optionen bezüglich Beruf, Partnerwahl und Freizeit häufig zu Kinderlosigkeit." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "Childlessness is a widespread phenomenon in Germany. Previous studies show considerable variation in different population groups; the interaction of different factors is, however, largely unexplored. This article aims to fill this research gap by both dendrogram analyses and by estimating logistic regression analyses for women in the cohorts 1950-1969 based on Microcensus data from 2012. Multivariate results reveal that an urban place of residence, high education, no migration background, no marriage, and full-time employment largely increase the probability of childlessness. These factors cumulatively interact with each other, while the effects of pecuniary variables rather decrease. Three group-specific differentiations are remarkable: The low childlessness rate of women with low education is predominantly based on the effect of migrants. The effect of urbanisation does not apply to women with a migration background. The trend of increasing childlessness among highly educated women has stopped - at a high level: The childlessness rate of highly educated women without migration background in western German cities amounts to 38%, with a full time occupation it even rises to 51%. For western Germany, this paper shows an increasing polarisation between motherhood and career: For many women, motherhood is accompanied by a permanently reduced participation in the labour market. Conversely, the growing new opportunities regarding occupation, relationships and leisure often end in permanent childlessness." (author's abstract)

Influence of migration in women emancipation: case study from Kosovan Albanian diaspora

Inhalt: In many undeveloped Mediterranean countries with few occupational possibilities, international migration from late 1960's become a matter of government policy, frequently through bilateral agreements for guest workers. Initially part of these agreements were only men, who migrated toward European counties as seasonal workers. This type of migration created attitudes among the Albanian population in Kosovo that international migrations are mainly for men. However, being in such places with high employment opportunities, profits and life standard, many of them decided to continue living in host countries, bringing thus their family members along. This move gave the to the Kosovar Albanian women opportunity to become part of host societies and possibility to Albanian population to understand that migration as a right which belong to both genders' equally.Initially, migrated women who joined their husbands came mainly from rural and low educated families and were personally and mentally unprepared for a new life in an alien environment. Even though their integration into host societies was challenge for them, we argue that migration has affected their status and family life, as well. By entering into a wage earning production process they become more independent and active in family decision processes, families became egalitarian, relations between family members became more open and their social networks were expanding. Additionally, recent female migrants are more open into integration processes. They are showing interest for involvement into labor market and educational processes, meaning that beside job, they tend to ensure the position at profession, as well.These criteria of emancipation we will prove by using ethnographic research technique, which implies the collection and analysis of detailed in-depth interviews (life stories) of Kosovan Albanian migrants in Germany and Switzerland. By women’s narratives, through which they express themselves, will draw a conclusion about integration strategies and way of living in host societies. While, the husbands and children’s narratives will be used to prove the changes in their family life.

Three women in a city: crossing borders and negotiating national belonging

Quelle: Zeitschrift für Qualitative Forschung, 15 (2014) 1-2, S 39-56
Inhalt: "The major theoretical literature has considered the concept of nation primarily from a macro level. This article explores the question of national belonging departing from an individual's point of view, more precisely from the life story of three migrant women. Migration and transnational practices have challenged the perception of the homogeneity of nations, questioning the idea of fixed boundaries, and showing how different national and social forms of belonging may develop simultaneously through migration experience. Drawing on biographical interviews conducted with three migrant women, Amina El Asri, Gule Yildiz and Zuzana Svitá, the present analysis focusses on the construction of national belonging of the women in an intersectional perspective. Mrs. El Asri, Mrs. Yildiz and Mrs. Svitá originate from different countries (respectively Morocco, Turkey and Czechia). They have different social origins and ages, but share the same sex, their residence in the same city in West Germany and the fact that they all have children. The analysis reveals the profound impact of the socio-historical contexts the women come from on their construction of national belonging, but also of age and of transmission processes to their children. It is mainly through passing on their mother tongue and reshaping their conception of national belonging over time that the women manage to establish strong ties to their children, and contribute, by articulating different lines of belonging, to the redefinition of (trans)nation building processes."
