Gender Role, Working Women and Family: a Sociological Study on some selected professionals in Chittagong City, Bangladesh
Get PDFThe article scopes to analyze the role of women in family after getting job. The study that we conducted showed that women’s traditional role in the context of family in Bangladesh didn’t change. Rather those who are working, have to perform dual job. They maintain both family and work together. In family, they make breakfast, cook lunch and dinner, rear and care children, look after elderly and young members, deal family problems and troubles etc. Simultaneously, in work, they conduct their respective jobs and duties. This type of duality sometimes creates trouble in family and carrier. According to study, as a professional woman, working women (WW) cannot manage their family properly and cannot give quality time to their children. On the other, due to huge pressure from family activities, they cannot concentrate properly to their work, which may affect their carrier. Joint family is an ideal place for working women, where other members can help them and single family is a difficult place for (WW) because they don’t get any help from others. To understand these relationships, some statistical tools have been applied

This paper analyse how such slogan have contributed in the resurgence of multiracial political ideology in this land through the application of ethnohistorical approach that required the examination of various sources such as books, journals, newspapers, blogs and interview with key informants

The Performance Of Thailand’s Manufacturing Export Competitiveness With Six Selected East Asian Countries Using Shift-share Analysis
Get PDFIt goes without saying that exports competitiveness and trade growth are direct contributions to sustainable economic growth. The move of export competitiveness becomes international when it pertains to two or more countries accordingly. As such, manufacturing exports in the East Asian countries have been exploited the comparative advantage and the opportunities for economic development through trade. Thailand, as a market challenger, has been facing strong competition from the powerful global competitors who can steer through the turbulent trade environment. This study attempts to investigate the performance of Thailand’s manufacturing export competitiveness in the EU market as compared to the six selected East Asian countries’ performance (i.e. Korea, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore,) by using shift-share analysis. The main findings reveal that Thailand’s precious stone and jewelry exports had high competitiveness in the EU market, followed by the rubber products, machinery and equipment and road vehicle. However, Thailand did not perform well in the organic chemical, iron and steel, artificial and plastic material, office machines and automatic data processing and electrical machinery. In order to remain competitive in the world economy, the government continues to place emphasis on research and development and to increase the nation capability between the foreign buyers and the Thai jewelers. This effort has certainly propelled the precious stone and jewelry industry from Thailand into the forefront of global competitiveness
