Recent analyses have highlighted that poverty reduction in Bangladesh has been accompanied by growing inequality in society, measured by household income. This article considers what the implications are for development actors who are concerned with empowering the poor in society, and who understand poverty from a gender and women's rights perspective. We draw on experience from BRAC's work to address these issues, focusing on the Gender Quality Action Learning (GQAL) programme. A focus on women's self-employment alone does not result in challenging the structures of patriarchal inequalities. Gender inequality and its link to economic inequality needs to be much more centrally positioned than it currently is in development discourse. Currently economic empowerment is widely seen as a potential route to gender equality, but the GQAL programme shows work to challenge gender inequality is necessary as an entry-point to ensure effective economic empowerment.Des analyses récentes ont souligné que la réduction de la pauvreté au Bangladesh s'est accompagnée d'une hausse des inégalités au sein de la société, mesurée par le revenu des ménages.Cet article considère quelles sont les implications pour les acteurs du développement qui cherchent à autonomiser les pauvres au sein de la société et qui comprennent la pauvreté d'un point de vue du genre et des droits des femmes. Nous nous basons sur les expériences du travail de BRAC pour aborder ces questions, en nous concentrant sur le programme Gender Quality Action Learning (GQAL). Si l'on ne considère que le travail indépendant des femmes, on ne parvient pas à mettre en question les structures des inégalités patriarcales. Les inégalités entre les sexes et leur lien avec les inégalités économiques doivent être positionnées de manière beaucoup plus centrale que ce n'est le cas actuellement dans le discours du développement. À l'heure actuelle, l'autonomisation économique est vue par beaucoup comme une voie potentielle vers l'égalité entre les sexes, mais le programme GQAL montre que les activités visant à mettre en question les inégalités entre les sexes sont nécessaires comme point d'entrée pour veiller à une autonomisation économique efficace.En Bangladesh, análisis realizados recientemente han destacado que la reducción de la pobreza ha ocurrido a la par que se ha operado una creciente desigualdad en la sociedad, medida en términos de ingresos familiares. El presente artículo examina las implicaciones que esta situación tiene para los actores de desarrollo quienes, partiendo de un análisis de la pobreza centrado en el género y en los derechos de las mujeres, pretenden empoderar a los pobres de la sociedad. A efectos del presente artículo, los autores se apoyaron en las experiencias surgidas del trabajo realizado por brac, el cual se orienta a solucionar estas cuestiones. Asimismo, se centraron en el programa Género Calidad Acción Aprendizaje (gAAC). Al respecto, sostienen que el hecho de solo hacer hincapié en el autoempleo de las mujeres no tiene como resultado concomitante...
Organizations strategically adopt various diversity and inclusion initiatives to encourage the diversity approach of a diverse workforce. Many social science authors and HRM scholars mostly focused on studying diversity models in societal/organizational outcomes. This paper aims to study the correlations of mainly four HR practices in Bangladeshi origin organizations, i.e., employee engagement, diversity training, diversity alignment, and mutual respect, with diversity awareness of diverse workforce working in the organizations. Data was collected through a questionnaire survey of a sample size of 218 employees (108 males, 110 females) from Bangladeshi origin organizations. The statistical tools, such as reliability tests, multiple correlations, multiple regressions, ANOVA, and hypotheses tests, were used for data analysis and interpretations. This research finding showed that employee engagement, diversity training, and diversity alignment is significant to diversity awareness except for mutual respect. The present study contributes to the HRM literature by proposing a conceptual framework of how these four independent variables react to diversity awareness. The study highlights the importance of diversity awareness by diverse employees as a competitive advantage to make multi-cultural firms in the era of industry 4.0.
