“…Attempts to reject the concept of patriarchy, either as being a structuralist narrative (Pollert, 1996), abstract (Gottfried, 1998) or as reinforcing dualism of production and reproduction (Acker, 1989) do not explain the prevalence of gender distinctions and male domination in all known societies, at all times (Kimmel, 2000). Any analysis of capitalism without accounting for patriarchy would be incomplete (Cockburn, 2012;Brenner and Holmstrom, 2013;Gimenez, 2005;Fuchs, 2018;Kocabıçak, 2013;Omvedt, 1986;Paltasingh and Lingam, 2014;Pogoson, 2018;Semali and Shakespeare, 2014;Tepe-Belfrage and Steans, 2016;Velaskar, 2016). In order to move beyond male domination in the sphere of family, Cockburn (1981, p. 55) conceptualizes "andrarchy" to explain the all-pervasive male domination over females, whether inside the family or outside the family, inside the workplace or outside the workplace, through both ideological and material practices.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine perspective of “gendered labour process” to explore the aspectsof managerialism, which utilize gender as a control measure to achieve its ends. The paper seeks to integrate gender and labour process theory and contribute to studies on gendering of organizations that focus on organization logic as well as integrated studies of labour process theory and gender. Design/methodology/approach The paper utilizes thematic analysis as the method for analysing the interviews of senior managers in an information technology service organization in India, to identify managerial ideologies and practices. Findings A gendered labour process perspective could reveal the institutional orders that systemically discriminate or exclude women in organizations, rather than gender ideologies alone. Practical implications Rather than focussing on gender sensitization alone, as is the case with the gender diversity initiatives, it may be fruitful to revisit work design and work organization, to identify and implement changes, so that women’s marginalization and exclusion from certain workplaces could be minimized. Social implications A view of gendered labour process could aid public policies aimed at enabling women to continue their employment without disruptions. Originality/value The paper attempted to integrate gender and labour process theory by delineating the organization logic that deploys gender as a means of managerial control.

This paper aims to elaborate on women participation on politic populist development and expansion of support by the strength of women's groups as representatives of civil society. This study uses literature study methods to discover various data related to women's figures and women's group dedication in the context of civil society, sourced from journal and preliminary study results. The results of the study indicate that women participate in the practice of populism associated with men in cultivating the issues of populism and are received by the general public. Even women's contribution to society tends to be closer to welfare issues that are echoed in populist politics. When the populism politics need to expand in the context of the wider society, women are also present and have been there for a long time dedicating their lives on social welfare issues. The implication, it is necessary to see women contributions are as important as men in the practice of populist politics, not only at the level of the political elite but also in the life of the wide society. Women's groups are able to fill spaces that are not filled by the state, i.e. socio-economic spaces, wherever women are.

Gender and Mindscapes of Patriarchy in Poverty Reduction

Sociological Perspectives on Sustainable Development and Poverty Reduction in Rural Populations

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Is poverty gendered? Feminist theorists suggest that the experience of poverty by any woman is shaped not only by her gender but by ideologies and other systems of social stratification such as race, ethnicity, and class – and that these dimensions are not simply an additional facet of a woman's identity but do affect her gendered experience as well. The narratives examined in this chapter consist of symbolic patriarchy, inheritance laws, gender socialization, domestic division of labor, and certain accounts pertaining to widows and the subordination of women. A scan of the African cultural landscape revealed a profile of rural poverty that is unproportionate, unequal, and sometimes unfairly affects women more than men. Patriarchal and discriminatory practices are stubbornly unyielding in some rural areas and has inflicted a blow against women the most.
