Women continue to maintain superiority in many areas of specialized fields such as education, nursing, human well-being, but they are under-represented in research fields such as engineering and information technology (Tadros, 2014). Attitudes, gender bias and stereotypes, women's role in society, ability to recognize and skills, there are many factors attributed to this factor. The 2011 Sydney University report (2013) shows that the number of girls studying mathematics and science is decreasing.
Sex: Australian men and women are treated equal. Women occupy nearly 50% of the working population, most women remain in the workplace after marriage, many women remain in the workplace after childbirth. Australia has made great progress in the elimination of discrimination by gender, but gender equality, monetary compensation between men and women, and women's underdisplay in leadership status remain different. However, in Australia, the public sector and the private sector pass domestic law and its enforcement, active action measures, paid childcare leave, and flexible labor.
There is a big difference in gender recognition about women's underdisplay in leading position in politics and business. At least one-seventh of women, nearly half of men do more to women to prove that women are the main reason why women are less than women in business or political status than men We are asking for it. Most women also point out gender discrimination and voters are not ready to choose women as a major obstacle in politics. In contrast, about one-third of men think that women are the main reason why there is no more in senior positions. Also, men (31%) are more likely to say that women are not interested in holding political leadership positions than women (23%).
This course examines the role of gender and feminist research in political science. The starting point of this course is the lack of women's representation in politics for a long time and the impact it has on political research. While focusing on comparative analysis of gender and politics, we often explain specific topics using the experience of a specific country including Australia. Discuss important issues worldwide, including social movements, representatives, elections, political parties, public policy, physical politics, LGBTIQ. The course highlights the theories, methods and empirical contributions of gender and feminist political science methods.
