Onwuka, Ebele Mary*, Chiekezie, Obianuju Mary, Nzewi, Hope Ngozi Igweze, Amechi Henry, Ofulue, John Ikechukwu

Oil prices always remain an important variable in determining the economic activity of any country. The time of cheap availability of all kinds of fuel has gone because of fast increase in population, which ultimately increases the demand for energy domestically and internationally. It was already projected and estimated globally that the oil demand is expected to increase ninety eight million barrels/ day in next three year (2015) and 118 million barrels / day during next twenty years (in 2030) (Sharma, Singh and Gupta et al, 2012).Â The price of fuel has tendency to increase further till the demand growth is curbed and new technologies are introduced which reduces dependency on oil. Akpan (2009) stated that there has been a steep upward trend in the price of crude oil in recent years, reaching a record nominal high in mid-2008. This has led to increasing concern about its macroeconomic implications,Â Â given that the Nigerian economy is highly vulnerable to oil price fluctuations. The findings from this research not surprising and has shown that only the price of PMS has significant impact on the per capita income which was used as a measure of economic growth.

To Study Reproductive Health Rights Affected by Socio-Cultural Factors in Tarikhet Block District Almora, Uttarakhand

Dr.Abhimanyu Kumar

Womenâ€™s health status is affected by complex biological, social and cultural factors, which are interrelated and only can be addressed in a comprehensive manner. Reproductive health is determined not only by the quality and availability of health care, but also by socio-economic development levels, lifestyles and womenâ€™s position in society. Women health is compromised not by lack of medical knowledge, but by infringement on womenâ€™s human rights including reproductive health rights. Poor women, who lack adequate food, basic health care, or modern contraception, suffer grave consequences for reproductive health. A woman who is malnourished and in poor health runs much greater risks in reproductive health issues and usually suffers without proper treatment and dies in most of cases.

Abstract

The role of flexible working arrangements in career sustainability of Indian women professionals

Saundarya Rajesh, Karthik Ekambaram , Anju Rakesh

In the India of today, womenâ€™s careers have assumed an unprecedented significance. From putting the hard earned education of women to good use to supplementing the family income in the age of sky rocketing commodity prices, Indian society has acknowledged the need for its women to work. Given this context, Indian corporates have been successful in leveraging the rich talent pool constituted by educated and talented Indian women. This has resulted in more number of women pursuing careers across industries, but primarily at the entry level. As a woman pedals ahead in the cycle of life and assumes the role of a wife and eventually that of a mother, domestic responsibilities demand more of her time and focus. To help her balance her professional and personal commitments fairly and to avoid a career break in the process, it is important that employers recognize the role of work flexibility in sustaining her career.
The study documented in this paper investigates the relevance Indian Women Professionals (IWP) attach to various dimensions of Flexible working arrangements (FWAs) and bring into perspective the role FWAs play in keeping alive the careers of the IWPâ€™s. The results of the study show that any flavor of work flexibility is successful in reducing the stress levels of women trying to strike the right balance between work life and personal life. In addition to enhancing the organizational loyalty of the women employees, flexible arrangements are also able to increase the longevity of womenâ€™s careers with many beneficiaries ultimately reaching leadership positions in their respective organizations. Organizations on their part are benefitted by a gender diverse and inclusive workplace that with its dynamic nature brings the world closer to the vision of gender equality.
