“…Some of the factors attributed to the skills shortage include emigration, the perception that artisan and technical work are of lesser status compared to a university graduate qualification, and Bantu education. (Glaser, 2018;Horwitz, 2013;Mlatsheni & Leibbrandt, 2015;Shava & Vyas-Doorgapersad, 2022;Tshilongamulenzhe, 2012) individuals or organizations to use freely (Jetzek et al, 2013;McAuley et al, 2014). Government data is information or data commissioned by government or government agencies (Ubaldi, 2013).…”

“…Resources in CF are interpreted as individual agency-based capability inputs, together with structure-based capability inputs, which can be converted into capabilities (Kleine, 2009b). Structures in this study consist of institutions and organizations, ICT access and rules, law, informal and formal norms and policies, as previously used in the CF (Hatakka et al, 2016;Tshivhase et al, 2016).…”

Open government data (OGD) and information and communication technologies (ICT) are potential enablers in meeting information needs related to finding employment opportunities, but there is little evidence‐based theorization to guide this enablement and avoid the barriers that hinder its use. The potential economic contribution of OGD has been researched in depth, but the potential of OGD for human development, specifically in developing countries, has not been theorized substantially. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate “how the role of ICT and OGD in meeting the employment‐related information needs of unemployed South African youth can be understood better by the application of the Choice Framework”. The Choice Framework is Kleine's analytical tool for investigating ICTs for development toward a contextualized understanding of the relationships among the framework's elements, namely structure, agency, the dimension of choice and development outcomes. The research design was a single, exploratory case study; the data was collected in Alexandra Township of the Gauteng Province in South Africa using semi‐structured interviews. Data was collected from 34 participants (between the ages of 18 and 35) who were looking for employment. The data was analyzed thematically and then unpacked in terms of the constructors of the Choice Framework. The findings show that most participants had access to ICT but limited awareness of OGD, and several challenges in using OGD for finding employment‐related information were identified. The findings provide a theory‐based contextual understanding of the research space, including the challenges and recommendations for overcoming said challenges of finding information on employment opportunities.

“…Many resource countries such as Australia, Canada, Brazil, Chile, and South Africa forecast ongoing systemic skills shortages (EY 2013;Tshilongamulenzhe 2012). In Australia, in the medium term, key shortages in skilled roles are expected in areas such as engineering (mining and petroleum), mining production managers, and geophysicists (AWPA 2013, p. 112).…”

“…A structural skills mismatch is evident across many developing economies (such as Malaysia, South Africa, Tanzania, and Brazil), between those who are unemployed and underemployed and the skills and abilities required by the resource sector (Tordo et al 2013;Tshilongamulenzhe 2012;World Bank 2013b). The same is evident in indigenous communities in developed economies where "the mere proximity to jobs does not mean that people are qualified for them or that employers will employ them" (Moran 2009, p. 2).…”

There is no sufficient research that was conducted on the participation of women in the Ottoman Economic system. Most of the time, women in Ottoman State was described considering the framework of harem. However, truth is very different. When the Ottoman records are analyzed, the great economic contribution of Ottoman women to the family and social life has been seen. Of course during the classical period of the Ottoman empire, the given roles to the women is much more limited than the given roles to the men in the social , economic and politic fields. However in the Ottoman social life, the contribution of women to the family budget, the roles in the working life were so important which were thought. The women in Ottoman period have a significant role in the agricultural sector. When the archive documents checked, it has been countered that the women in Ottoman state were involved in agriculture and animal husbandry, gave the direction to the society during the war and peace, worked in the textile industry, home economics. and they had the right of heritage. But it has been that women in England participated in economic activities after the revolution of industry. Women in the West worked in the textile and production sectors in the beginning of the 19th century. But the women in Ottoman state started to work in the fields of industry and service after the Tanzimat. Furthermore, some examples show that women in Anatolia were dealing trade and running stores. For example, in the 17th century, most of the tread production factories in Bursa were owned by women. and the women workers were Muslim and non-Muslim. There were women who had grinder and bakery in their house beside the women who dealt with textile. In this study, it is aimed that to show the role of Ottoman women in the social life and investigated the subjects of women's having properties, the rights of heritage, trading and participating in production by using Prime Ministry Ottoman Archive Documents. ÖZETOsmanlı ekonomisinde kadının rolü ve çalışma hayatına katılmasına yönelik yapılan araştırmalar yeterli düzeyde değildir. Genellikle Osmanlı kadını harem çerçevesinden bakılarak tanımlanmaktadır. Ancak, Osmanlı arşiv vesikaları incelendiğinde, gerçeklerin çok farklı olduğu, Osmanlı kadınının aile ve toplum hayatına önemli ölçüde ekonomik katkılar sağladığı görülmektedir. Elbette, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nun klasik döneminde toplumsal, ekonomik ve politik yaşam alanlarında kadınlara tanınan rol erkeklere oranla daha sınırlıdır. Ancak, Osmanlı toplumsal yaşamında kadınların aile ekonomisine katkıları, çalışma yaşamındaki etki ve rolleri sanılandan çok daha fazla olmuştur. Kadın, Osmanlı'da hâkim sektör olan tarımda ağırlıklı bir role sahiptir. Osmanlı'da kadının tarım ve hayvancılıkla uğraştığı, savaşta ve barışta ekonomiye yön verdiği; ev endüstrisinde tekstil üreticiliği, ipekböcekçiliği ve dokumacılık ile uğraştığı; miras alma ve miras bırakma haklarına sahip olduğu belgelerle tespit edilebilmektedir. Örneğin İngiltere'de kadınların ilk kez sa...
