“…It was viewed as a technique of correcting the uneven allocation of development resources by requiring development organisations' personnel to assess the effects of external programmes and projects, internal management structures, and policies for men and women. Studies 32,33,34,35 alludes that gender equality challenges in metropolitan areas exhibited in several ways impact on women's involvement and development. This includes gender bias in urban economies, poor infrastructure, violence against women in public spaces, and insufficient representation of women.…”

The roles of urban spaces in promoting people’s social experiences and interactions, and access to green spaces, are critical for long-term community building. While gender balance occurs in the use of metropolitan spaces, the urban environment can still be considered as a mostly masculine sphere. Women are still marginalised and unsafe in urban spaces. Gender mainstreaming is used to plan and design a gender inclusive city, which includes all women in decision-making processes and helps to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 11. The exclusion of women and girls from the urban planning process generates a knowledge gap, resulting in public spaces that exclude them. There is a clear planning gap: women are excluded from urban planning and design procedures. The research study developed from the urge to examine if gender mainstreaming is used in the design of urban spaces. Data for the study were gathered using qualitative method. Primary data was through interview while secondary data includes policy and research focus documents. The study revealed that women’s experience and understanding of urban spaces varied from men’s, and that these differences must be considered when planning and developing urban spaces. The solutions to establishing inclusive urban public spaces that are accessible and safe for everyone in the community include good design and community dialogue. According to the research evidence, professionals in the built environment must be gender conscious when designing and creating urban spaces. Warwick Market, a public urban location in Durban, South Africa, was chosen for the study.

“…Even though Latin American countries have experienced a process of higher‐education expansion and an increase on female enrollment in these institutions, the current focus of practitioners and scholarship is on educational gaps rather than effects on labor market behavior (Atal et al, 2009; Bando, 2019; Libertun de Duren et al, 2020; Nopo, 2012; Schimanski et al, 2018). It has placed the attention of regional scholarship on the challenges that higher‐education policies face—a need to advance equity and quality.…”

The expansion of higher education across the globe changed the dynamics of social inclusion and exclusion during the last century. As a result of the increase in higher‐education enrollment, societies have reduced social gaps in education and labor. Moreover, higher‐education expansion policies have led to a diversification in the quality of higher‐education institutions and workforce configurations, which has allowed for the increased participation of women in the education and labor market. Evidence on higher‐education expansion has shown only a minor decrease in gender gaps in the labor market. One explanation is the presence of credential market configuration, where degrees signal social status. This research focuses on how educational credentialism affects the gender wage gap, using the CASEN Household Survey of Chile. It aims to assess the effects of a credential on earnings, using a regression framework and data set between 2013 and 2017. The results point to a differential effect of credentials across genders, interpreted as a systematic bias toward human capital pricings, with particular effects on the gender wage gap.
