The development of these industries has given a positive impulse to the development of the whole economy. In this analysis, it is used multiple regressions as one of the most important statistical methods. In the first part of this paper, it shows the connection among the growth of female employment, growth in frozen food expenditure and growth of GDP in United Kingdom. In the second part of paper, it shows the relationship among the growth of labor force participation of women, growth of number of kindergarten and growth of GDP in Hungary. To proof these relationships, it used a multiple regression model. This statistical model was tested by using the T schedule which showed that the model in both the analyses is correct. At the end of the paper, it presents that employment rate and GDP behaves in the same way in European Union. These analyses show that it is necessary to continue to strengthen gender equality if the policy makers want to achieve even greater economic growth. The issue of gender equality is a very important factor in creating employment policy, and statisticians should be more involved in process of employment policy and gender equality展开更多

At present in Northern part of Sri Lanka, there is huge improvement in the field of hospitality. Nowadays, gender equality is very important in every workforce especially in the hospitality sector. Many countries are accepting the gender equality. After the ethnic war in Northern Province Tamil people without any discrimination, male and female are taking part in the field of hospitality. The main reasons for this change are economical breakdown and the interest of people towards hospitality field. There are more than 10 women staffs working in the hotel industry in the Northern part of Sri Lanka. The hospitality industry helps the women staffs to balance their families. Because Northern Province has many women leadership families. Most of the female workers （Captain of the families） are working as cleaning staff, front office assistance, assistance managers, managers, and training instructors in the Northern Province hotel sector. According to the authors＇ field visit, Northern Province hospitality sectors provide some security service for the female staffs such as hostel arrangements, no night shift works, and high security inside the hotel. The Northern Province hospitality outlet not only hotels but also catering service, self-employments such as sweets delivery for the fimctions and food cooking for the parties, house works are done by both genders because after the war, many families are affected by the economic poverty. According to the authors＇ data collection, more than 200 families are doing the self-employment jobs such as catering service for the parties, food issuing for the university students, sweets issuing for the functions. Female staffs are able to work with the good mentality as they come to the working field.

In the 1990s, the same strategy began to be applied to human rights to draw attention to the fact that the enjoyment of human rights is different for men and women, and that some human rights violations specifically affect women. This is a reflection and a result of the patriarchal organization of society and men＇s position of dominance over women. The European and Inter-American Courts of Human Rights have begun to incorporate gender mainstreaming or a gender perspective in some judgments, especially in cases of violence against women.展开更多

文摘Recently,gender equality and women’s entrepreneurship have gained considerable attention in global economic development.Prior to the design of any policy interventions to increase women’s entrepreneurship,it is significant to comprehend the factors motivating women to become entrepreneurs.The non-understanding of the factors can result in the endurance of low living stan-dards and the design of expensive and ineffectual policies.But female involve-ment in entrepreneurship becomes higher in developing economies compared to developed economies.Women Entrepreneurship Index(WEI)plays a vital role in determining the factors that enable theflourishment of high potential female entrepreneurs which enhances economic welfare and contributes to the economic and social fabric of society.Therefore,it is needed to design an automated and accurate WEI prediction model to improve women’s entrepreneurship.In this view,this article develops an automated statistical analysis enabled WEI predic-tive(ASA-WEIP)model.The proposed ASA-WEIP technique aims to effectually determine the WEI.The proposed ASA-WEIP technique encompasses a series of sub-processes such as pre-processing,WEI prediction,and parameter optimiza-tion.For the prediction of WEI,the ASA-WEIP technique makes use of the Deep Belief Network(DBN)model,and the parameter optimization process takes place using Squirrel Search Algorithm(SSA).The performance validation of the ASA-WEIP technique was executed using the benchmark dataset from the Kaggle repo-sitory.The experimental outcomes stated the better outcomes of the ASA-WEIP technique over the other existing techniques.
