Ghanaian civil service is a classic example of a “gender pyramid” where top positions tend to be occupied by men, while women (more than 50%) face gender discrimination. Gender stereotypes about women are a major barrier to women’s career advancement in Ghanaian civil service. Based on a series of in-depth interviews with women in the Ghanaian public authorities, we identified the main problems women face in the Ghanaian civil service, such as patriarchal practices, gender discrimination, and harassment, including sexual harassment. Our study aims to show the practitioners why it is hardly possible to call public service a “comfortable job” for women in Ghana

Russia is an interesting case: a relatively young consumer-finance market in which a lack of financial literacy may increase the likelihood of household over-indebtedness. To test this hypothesis, ...

Со времен обретения странами Африки независимости проблема сецессии остается для них в ряду наиболее острых. Оставшиеся после ухода колонизаторов государственные границы во многом оказались искусственными, что впоследствии превратило Африку в один из самых нестабильных континентов. Обретение государственного суверенитета поначалу подталкивало африканцев к обсуждению вопроса о пересмотре границ, однако опасения по поводу еще большего нагнетания межгосударственных ...
