In recognition of the growing importance of small business ownership by women to the economic well-being of national economies, considerable academic attention has been given to identifying the reasons why women enter self-employment. However, little is known about the motivations for women to become franchisors. This represents an important gap in the literature. While the absence of research may be due to early beliefs that women are risk averse individuals that tend to limit the growth of their enterprises, more recent studies conclude that women perceive small business ownership as a vehicle for rapid growth and wealth creation. On this basis, franchising should represent an appealing business expansion strategy as it minimizes capital, labor, and managerial limitations on firm grow...

Families are the safety nets for society. They handle whatever problem there is no program or organizational response to solve in the larger society. Normative arrangements for exchange and transfer that have served families well for many generations are under considerable strain as demographic, medical and economic change has increased the length of time generations care for each other, the severity of problems that people are surviving while continuing to need care, and the complexity of making long term plans in a globalization setting. This review and analysis will look cross culturally at both traditional arrangements and new expectations and strategies. The cases as seen in several contemporary societies, of grandparents caring for grandchildren will be highlighted in terms of res...

In the US in 1997, the pregnancy rate for Hispanic teens was 97.4 per 1000, while the figure for black teenagers was 88.2; the rate was sharply lower for non-Hispanic white American teenagers, 36.0 pregnancies per 1000 (Stephanie & Ventura, 2000). The obligation of women to marry earlier, for example before the age of 16 years, was frequently observed in families speaking Arabic and Kurdish, which is representative of a pervasive neglect of women's human rights. Spontaneous abortion, preterm delivery, combined fetal death and infant mortality, and loosing pregnancies any time during their childbearing years are the health risks of adolescent pregnancies (Bukulmez & Deren, 2000; Cansun & Kadayifcioglu, 2000; Kir & Gulec, 2005; Shawky & Milat, 2000).

The 1991 Gulf War and Sanctions Refusing any possible negotiations or diplomatic settlement, the Anglo-American response to Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait was a bombing campaign.1 Subsequent declassified documents reveal that in US-led campaign, its forces deliberately destroyed Iraq's water treatment capacity, knew the necessary chemicals were blocked by sanctions, and fully understood the implications for Iraqis.2 The Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) identified Iraq's water treatment systems as vulnerable because of their reliance on foreign materials already blocked by sanctions. Further US intelligence documents, observing the degradation of Iraq's water supply under the bombing continued, noted the particular impact on children.5 Within months of the war, the UN s...
