Article by McKenzie,D. and Berk, O. (2011) "The impact of economics blogs", showing  the positive effects of interesting Blogs written by economists. They state: 







"First,
links from bLOGS cause a striking increase in the number of abstract
views and downloads of economics papers. Second, blogging raises the profile of
the blogger ... Finally, we find that a blog can transform
attitudes about some of the topics it covers. The article is available at Ideas.Repec: https://ideas.repec.org/p/wbk/wbrwps/5783.html

 Source:Elaborated from EU(2008). Distribution
of Employment in the main NACE 2-digit sectors







We find that there are 100 employments per one thousand people in Health



and Education in the United States, 78 in Germany and only 46 in Spain.



Countries with high levels of industry, like Germany and USA, favors the



development of Services. Spain needs to foster industrial development



 in order to provide resources for the development of services particularly



in social services like Health and Education. The sectors with highest



percentages of male employment are "Construction" (with more than 10%),



 "Industry: food+metal+machinery" (with percentages between 7.1% and



 10.8%), and "Public Admiistration". The sectors with highest percentages



 of female employment are "Health and Social Services" (between 10.9%



 and 18.5%), "Commerce retail" (between 12.5% and 14.3%), and



 "Education" (between 8.6% and 11.4%).

WOMEN PARTICIPATION, QUALITY OF GOVERNMENT AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN EUROPE, 2000-2007



To access de full article, please click on the title and then on "download" and on "download the selected file".









 Applied Econometrics and International Development, Vol. 11-1.







The article analyzes women participation in decision making and several

 positive relationships between the educational level of population, quality of 

government, women empowerment and quality of life (satisfaction with life).







Tabla 3. Data and suggestions
about women in media



 


  

Data:



1) There are four
  men for every woman who gets media coverage in the EU.



2) Women are central
  to a NEWS story 10% of the time.



3) Women make up
  6% of experts and 14% of spokespersons on the news.



4) 10% of POLITICIANS in the news are female.
  In Italy and Portugal
  only 2%.



5) In European
  news, women are three times as likely as men to be identified in terms of
  their family status.



6) Women
  represent one third of main TV and
  FILM characters.



7) Women athletes
  secure between 2-9% of TV airtime devoted to SPORTS.



8) Women
  represent 27% of employees or professionals shown in ADVERTS, but 60% of those portrayed doing housework or looking
  after children.



9) Adverts
  showing boys place them outside of the house 85% of the time; those featuring
  girls place them more than half of the time inside the home.



10) Up to 34 years old,
  women represent 79% of TV PRESENTERS;
  over 50, they are only 7%.


 



  

Our suggestions: It is very urgent to favour the presence of qualified women, not only
  as journalists and directors of media, but also as advisors, experts
  interviewed and main protagonists in the news.

Guisan and Aguayo(2011) and data from EWL(2010).
