The study investigates the U-shaped hypothesis for both countries to figure out the impact of economic development on women’s empowerment. With an econometric approach, the research runs the regression model by the Pooled Regression, Fixed Effect, and Random Effect models with Panel data from (1991-2019) to estimate the impact of women’s empowerment on economic development. Female labor force participation rate and Real GDP per capita are used as the proxy indicator of women’s empowerment and economic development respectively. In the regression model, Real GDP per capita is used as the dependent variable, and the female labor force participation rate as the independent variable. Fertility rate, Mortality rate, and Female employment to population ratio are used as controlled variables. The study demonstrates women's empowerment through the Human Development Index and Global Gender Gap Index. In Global Gender Gap Index, Vietnam is ahead in economic participation and opportunity (sub-index), and educational attainment (sub-index), whereas Bangladesh leads in health and survival (sub-index), and political empowerment (sub-index). However, the regression result shows that the female labor force participation rate, fertility rate, and mortality rate have a negative significance on economic development, whereas the female employment to population ratio has a positive significance on economic development in Bangladesh and Vietnam. The existing U-shape in Vietnam proves that women empowerment and economic development nexus is commendable whereas an upward pattern, not a U-shape exists in Bangladesh.","PeriodicalId":389439,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Governance, Security & Development","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124699961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mamun","doi":"10.52823/fgjj4985","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.52823/fgjj4985","url":null,"abstract":"Though South Asian economies (SAEs) are progressing by adopting and implementing inclusive financial strategies, many adults, females, those with little or no education, who are not in the labor force, and those from the poorest households are still largely excluded when compared to high-income economies (HIEs). This article intends to explore how promotional inclusive finance is moving forward in the SAEs and whether it helps to converge with the HIEs. Variations in account ownership across SAEs by different characteristics as well as the gaps in account ownership with the HIEs and the globe have also been explored. For understanding and analytical purposes, this study uses the Global Findex Database 2017, the most comprehensive in the world dataset for measuring the extent of inclusive finance in terms of account ownership. Though global recognition of the importance of inclusive finance has been established, the literature lacks a comprehensive study that can identify the gaps in comparing account ownership of the SAEs with the HIEs and the world. This paper intends to fill up these gaps using descriptive statistics on account ownership for transactions, which is the ‘maker’ of financial inclusion.","PeriodicalId":389439,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Governance, Security & Development","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133871269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Janatha Aragalaya: The People’s Struggle in Sri Lanka","authors":"A. Imtiyaz","doi":"10.52823/vkqp2253","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.52823/vkqp2253","url":null,"abstract":"On 9 July 2022, angry citizens protesting economic mismanagement stormed the Sri Lanka President's palace in Colombo. Four days later, Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, amid a deepening crisis and widespread protests there, escaped to the neighboring island nation of the Maldives and flew into Singapore from there the following evening. The primary objective of this paper is to provide some initial thoughts on the factors that led to the Aragalaya (struggle). Thus, this article attempts to understand the major sources that gave birth to Janatha Aragalaya, commonly named by Sri Lankans as the #GotaGoHome protest movement, the significance of the movement and some suggestions to build a democratic and peaceful Sri Lanka. The article will first provide some primary information about the island’s demographics and socio-economic conditions and then discuss the causes that gave birth to the protest movement. This section will also explain why the state and its institutions, such as security forces, did not use violence against the movement. To prepare the article, the author interviewed Sri Lankans who participated in the Aragalaya. Conversations were held in Tamil, Sinhala, and English throughout the protests from 12 April to 17 July via WhatsApp and Facebook messengers.","PeriodicalId":389439,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Governance, Security & Development","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133906959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Imtiyaz","doi":"10.52823/mlxq1134","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.52823/mlxq1134","url":null,"abstract":"Sri Lankan Muslims form a small (less than 10% of the population) but peaceful community within Sri Lanka’s ethnopolitical landscape. However, the rise of intolerance against the non-mainstream schools of thought, such as Sufism, and violent movements among Muslims as a defensive mechanism during the Sri Lanka government’s war against the Tamil Tigers and after the war in 2009, mainly against Sinhala-Buddhist targets, radically questioned the peaceful nature of Sri Lankan Muslims. This paper attempts to provide some notes on (a) Sri Lanka Muslim elites’ quest for identity formation by intensely resorting to the Islamic faith and values and rejecting the Tamilian identity among Muslims whose mother is mainly Tamil, and (b) the growth of Islamic seminaries among Sri Lankan Muslims or ‘Moors’ as a result of the elites’ construction of Islamic identity for Sri Lankan Muslims. The paper uses both primary and secondary sources to understand the complex ethnoreligious development among Muslims. Apart from a literature review, interviews of former Madrasa students through zoom between October and November 2020 provided inside perspectives about the goals and global views of Madrasas.","PeriodicalId":389439,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Governance, Security & Development","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127631752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ferdous","doi":"10.52823/ddhj7411","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.52823/ddhj7411","url":null,"abstract":"This study aims at finding a sustainable solution to the decades long Rohingya crisis. Since the second world war, the Myanmar military (Tatmadaw) and the extremist groups of people have been trying to evict the Rohingyas from the place they have been living from ancient times. The world has witnessed such crisis in many parts of the world. For the Rohingyas, suffering for over half a century, there have been efforts to find a permanent solution in light of the events and experiences at other places. However, traditional methods have proven ineffective in giving a community of more than one million people any opportunity to live with a national identity, a sense of dignity, and self-esteem. Several established mechanisms in operation in preserving human rights where states fail to protect its citizens have been futile. Meanwhile, those engaged in the study of the phenomenon consider various ways of resolving the crisis – sheltering the displaced people, acting on bilateral discussions between the parties, repatriation and rehabilitation, etc. This article, considering various issues, attempts at suggesting a permanent and viable solution by analyzing whether or not humanitarian intervention through the implementation of Responsibility to Protect (R2P) and Protected Return to Protected Homeland (PR2PH), the UN approved Independent Referendum in Myanmar could put an end to the crisis. The findings of the research are expected to present a sustainable solution to the Rohingya people, which would give them the power to decide their fate and help them to be self-dependent, dignified, freed and protected.","PeriodicalId":389439,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Governance, Security & Development","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121905251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
