“…For example, in Vietnam, although women constitute almost 50% of employees in the MSW management industry (4,500 as itinerant buyers and 500 as shopkeepers) and contribute significantly to MSW management, these female workers suffer from low payment and are more vulnerable to the system changes because of low education levels and lack of capital (Mehra et al, 1996). In addition, female waste workers commonly suffer from gender discrimination (Nunn, 2013).…”

Currently, municipal solid waste (MSW) is experiencing a massive increase in both the amount and composition throughout the world. Effective and efficient MSW management has been widely accepted as an emergent factor for future social development, which requires not only technical innovation, but also the involvement of all stakeholders as well as social, economic, and psychological components. On account of this reality, there is an urgent need for research related to the social dimensions of MSW management. In this paper, a systematic literature review was carried out to characterize and critically evaluate the published literature on the social dimensions of MSW management from 1980 to 2014 in terms of vulnerability, public participation, public attitude and behavior, and policy. A keyword search was first performed by using the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) Web of Science, which retrieves 1843 documents. After removing the papers that were not closely related to the topic, 200 articles were retained for an in-depth review. In each category, major research issues and observations were summarized, and important insights were obtained. Besides compiling a related list of key references, the analysis results indicate that the global distribution of social dimensions reports on MSW management is inequitable and the research on the social dimensions of MSW management is insufficient, which may attract increased research interest and attention.

“…For Hoang and Parreñas, 25 hostess work augments and bolsters senses of masculine value for customers. Such work complements geographer Neil Nunn's 26 insistence that geographers working on gender engage more directly with women's roles in reproducing masculinity.…”

Liberty call at sunset: U.S. military retiree bars and the outsourced reproduction of ageing masculinities in Subic Bay, Philippines

This article examines the gendered service economy of bars and restaurants catering to ageing US military retirees in Olongapo City, Philippines. During the Cold War, Olongapo housed Subic Bay Naval Base, one of the largest overseas US military installations, and today thousands of former American service members have retired here. A focus on retiree bars reveals how Filipina bartenders and waitresses facilitate an ageing masculinity for these expatriates wherein men’s internalized senses of social, economic, and sexual marginality in the US are seemingly suspended or deferred in the Philippines. Geopolitical histories of US militarism in Asia-Pacific, unequal military basing agreements, and Subic’s so-called hospitality industry endure decades later to naturalize the hierarchies of accommodation between local hostesses and foreign customers. Drawing on – and further developing – geographic scholarship on ageing and masculinities and focusing on the so-called hospitality industry’s shift over time reveals the expectations placed on service workers to accommodate men’s changing needs and desires. Years after Subic’s closure, interviews with bartenders and customers illuminate how decades of entanglement with US militarism have outsourced some of the reproductive labor that sustains this population of ageing retirees in Subic. More than mere bodies sustaining and serving the outsourced needs of ageing service members, however, through bar work Filipina hostesses experience changes to their own geographies of belonging and leverage opportunities to realize their own dreams and desires. The relations in Subic’s retiree bars attest to US militarism’s intimate afterlives and its enduring dependence on the gendered and racialized labor of local populations.
