Astha Ramaiya Co-author Article in Journal of Adolescence

The article, led by Linnea Zimmerman examines how opportunity structures (parental influence and neighborhood context) affects individual agency among boys and girls in Kinshasa, DRC. We used longitudinal data to identify three distinct groups for boys and girls in each domain. Parental monitoring was associated with the development of both domains for boys, but showed no association for girls. Conversely, parental closeness was more strongly associated with development for girls, than for boys. Neighborhood safety was associated with greater Voice and Freedom of Movement for both boys and girls.

Using Big Data in evaluation of gender-related work

Dear Colleagues,

If anyone is interested to know if and how the Big Data could be used for evaluation,  you may wish to review the findings on this subject presented in the recent study undertaken by the UN Women. This study was commissioned to investigate the feasibility of leveraging big data sources – particularly Twitter, Facebook and radio data – to improve the evaluation of gender equality and women’s empowerment initiatives. 

The study is accessible via this link: http://www.unwomen.org/-/media/headquarters/attachments/sections/li...

Kind regards,

Serdar Bayryyev
