This book offers an analysis of the key issues faced by women in the labor market in the 21st century. It identifies the factors that inhibit women's participation in the labor market, studies occupational segregation by gender and analyzes labor transitions, questioning whether the experience for men and women differs. It also explores the effect of entrepreneurship support programs on women's economic and social positions, as well as the public policy implications of women's entry into the labor market. The book investigates working women in Mexico and also offers comparisons with countries such as Spain and developing countries within Eastern Europe. It explores a variety of topics, from a gender perspective, such as labor participation, the feminization of poverty, migration, wage gaps, changes in employment, informal work programs and public policy. Finally, the book offers a topical and timely analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic, tracking the gender inequalities among men and women in labor markets. The main market for the book is the global community of academics, researchers and graduate students in the fields of economics and, specifically, in the study of the labor market from a gender perspective. It will also be beneficial to government institutions responsible for the creation of public programs and policies, as well as non-governmental and non-profit organizations.

On a near-daily basis, data is being used to narrate our lives. Categorizing algorithms draw from amassed personal data to assign narrative destinies to individuals at crucial junctures, simultaneously predicting and shaping the paths of our lives. Data is commonly assumed to bring us closer to objectivity, but the narrative paths these algorithms assign seem, more often than not, to replicate biases about who an individual is and could become. While the social effects of such algorithmic logics seem new and newly urgent to consider, Collecting Lives looks to the late nineteenth and early twentieth century US to provide an instructive prehistory to the underlying question of the relationship between data, life, and narrative. Rodrigues contextualizes the application of data collection to human selfhood in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century US in order to uncover a modernist aesthetic of data that offers an alternative to the algorithmic logic pervading our sense of data's revelatory potential. Examining the work of W. E. B. Du Bois, Henry Adams, Gertrude Stein, and Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Rodrigues asks how each of these authors draw from their work in sociology, history, psychology, and journalism to formulate a critical data aesthetic as they attempt to answer questions of identity around race, gender, and nation both in their research and their life writing. These data-driven modernists not only tell different life stories with data, they tell life stories differently because of data.

A beautiful story about how sometimes our worst moments may be the bridge to our dreams. . . In exchange for being able to live on Cedar Creek Farm, thirteen year old Sarah Baker's parents must train horses and students in the property owners' equestrian facility. After being born in North Carolina and living nearly her whole life on the farm, Sarah finds out she's moving to Tennessee. And not only will she have to start a new life in another state, but she has to leave her precious horse, Jack, and her dog, Ginger, behind since she's going to live in a town, not a farm. Sarah is devastated, and she knows that she will never get to fulfill her dreams now- competing in the US Equestrian Nationals. When she moves to Tennessee, however, she finds a luxurious equestrian barn owned by a retired Olympic show jumper. There she finds a beautiful white mare, just as free-spirited and adventurous as Jack. Sarah, being a great rider herself, begins to secretly jump this mare in the woods located in the back of the property. After the owner of the farm finds her riding his horse, Sarah has no idea that her dreams of competing in the US Equestrian Nationals might just come true after all.

La desigualdad salarial ha crecido desde mediados de los anos 80, existe una discusion no concluida sobre los factores que estan detras. En Mexico la brecha salarial ha tenido efectos diferenciados por regiones, una de las explicaciones es el cambio tecnologico, ya que en los ultimos tiempos se ha basado en las habilidades de los trabajadores, esto ha transformado las calificaciones laborales favoreciendo a la categoria de los mas calificados produciendo un cambio tecnologico sesgado. La hipotesis a probar en esta investigacion predice que en Mexico el trabajo no calificado es sustituido por el calificado ante el reciente cambio tecnologico basado en la informatica y en las tecnologias de la informacion, provocando diferencias salariales entre los trabajadores dependiendo de su localizacion geografica. El objetivo central de esta publicacion es examinar la estructura y salarios de los trabajadores, asi como medir la desigualdad salarial y la sustitucion de la mano de obra por tipo de calificacion ante el cambio tecnologico en Mexico y sus regiones. Para cumplir con dicho objetivo se analizaron a los asalariados de 16 a 65 anos de edad en dos tipos de clasificaciones laborales."

El impacto de las TIC en la educacion plantea retos para descubrir nuevas formas de aprender. Por lo que el objetivo del estudio fue investigar si los alumnos de preparatoria aplican las habilidades en el uso de herramientas para la comunicacion via Internet en el aprendizaje de conocimientos escolares. Los alumnos han desarrollado habilidades en el manejo de las herramientas para la comunicacion via Internet, pero no han logrado ser aplicadas totalmente en el contexto escolar, aun cuando se contempla que los egresados sean capaces de utilizar herramientas tecnologicas y trasladar su aplicacion al contexto academico. Este estudio puede ser de interes para los profesionales en educacion y convertirse en referencia para profundizar acerca del uso de las herramientas comunicativas de la Internet en otros niveles o modalidades educativas."

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo determinar y apreciar la cantidad de saltos por jugador dentro del terreno de juego, ya que estos son datos determinantes para un entrenamiento mas eficaz del Voleibol Universitario actual en la Universidad de las Ciencias Informaticas UCI. Para cumplir con el objetivo de este trabajo se creo un procesamiento teorico de analisis de datos, asi como tambien la utilizacion de planillas de observacion especializadas que permiten recopilar todo los datos con los que pretendemos aportar a los especialistas algunos valores que caracterizan la saltabilidad del voleibol en la UCI, y que sin duda ampliara los conocimientos y experiencias de nuestros entrenadores para la preparacion de cada jugador y del equipo en general. Todo esto fue teniendo presente las exigencias y caracteristicas del sistema Rally Point adoptado desde enero del 1999 por la Federacion Internacional de Voleibol (FIVB) y aplicado en la UCI con sus modificaciones en el sistema de ganar los partidos."
