The 'Second Shift' Is Not Why Women Avoid News
Women are more likely than men to avoid political and economic news, but the reasons for this behaviour are linked less to structural inequality or family-related stress than to personal attitudes and the emotional perception of news content. This conclusion was reached by HSE researchers after analysing data from a large-scale survey of more than 10,000 residents across 61 regions of Russia. The study findings have been published in Woman in Russian Society.

Foresight Methodology and Commonly Used Methods in the New Generation Foresight

Ch. 4. P. 35–53.
Saritas O., Veselitskaya N., Sokolov A.

This chapter provides an overview of the Foresight methods, which were used in the South African Foresight for STI (SAForSTI) process. The SAForSTI 2030 exercise brought together a variety of qualitative and quantitative Foresight methods with innovations in their use. Over years, Foresight has embraced a spectrum of quantitative and qualitative methods from various disciplines to establish consensus among key stakeholders, identify global challenges and opportunities, explore technologies and markets, and develop alternative scenarios, visions, priorities, policies, strategies, and action. The chapter delves into the 15 most commonly used methods in Foresight, exploring their advantages, limitations, and practical applications.
