Prepare to alter alot of baby diapers!
Your bundle of happiness will certainly need around 6000 nappy adjustments before graduating to undies. That's a lot of dirty nappies and, relying on which ones you use, either a great deal of waste or a great deal of cleaning!
After that there's the poo factor– that nappy has actually obtained ta be up to the job. The things we do for love.
A stitch in time saves 9 … minutes of rest
Obtaining a nappy strategy in position prior to infant comes will certainly conserve you time, money and also power, as well as will certainly have a huge impact on your ecological footprint. Having stated that, it's never ever far too late to change nappy groups or blend it up a bit depending on your issue for the environment versus your concern for your peace of mind … and your need for sleep.
First of all, let's learn more about nappies.
Excellent ol' disposables. With actually just one style, they take in wetness promptly to stop leakages and 'secure it in' to maintain your bub fairly dry; are very easy and also fast to secure; remain shut throughout use; as well as fit different sizes and shapes. As well as they're extremely practical, specifically when out and around– especially so since they're available in every grocery store and also corner store. They don't call them convenience stores for no factor!
Reusable modern towel nappies
Modern towel nappies (MCNs) are coming to be a lot more popular and also, to be clear, we're not chatting the old terry-towelling squares. MCNs are the new whiz-bang variation featuring a water-resistant cover, watertight elasticised leg openings and also absorptive padding as well as lining.
The various designs
There are more than 200 brand names– most of which are made by work-at-home mums who market them online on stores like Etsy.
All-in-ones have a moisture-resistant external layer stitched with an absorbent inner to develop the nappy– they could take a bit to dry.
All-in-twos, also called snap-in-ones, consist of a lined water resistant external layer and absorbing internal layers, which "break in" with press studs. They could be uncoupled for laundering, so they dry faster compared to all-in-ones.
Pocket nappies have a waterproof outer layer stitched with a soft internal lining, which develops the covering. Between these two layers there's a pocket for the absorptive inserts. These are eliminated for washing then replaced, which could be a little bit fiddly but on the bonus side they dry quickly.
Antique terry-towelling square nappies are also still available. They can take a little technique to fold as well as fit right, yet they are a cheaper multiple-use alternative compared to MCNs, and contemporary fasteners suggest you do not also need to utilize safety pins.
I can see there are benefits to both– how do I choose in Dillingham Alaska?
There are a number of factors to consider, so let's take a look at them.
The upfront price of recyclable nappies is quite high, but in the future it's potentially more affordable compared to disposables– decreasing in cost exponentially with every kid.
Fabric nappies do need a bit more job, and also might be a pain when you're out. Just like a weary bub.
High quality, well-fitting nappies– whether cloth or non reusable– will keep infant completely dry, and also won't create nappy breakout.
Ecological effect
Non reusable nappies truly do not have the very best eco-friendly credibility, yet there are alternatives to reduce their impact:
Some brands are naturally degradable, though conditions in land fill make this deterioration tough to happen.
Some have compostable or recyclable product packaging.
Acquiring locally-made nappies, instead of imported, saves on transportation carbon price.
Despite the ecological costs of fabric manufacturing and also nappy laundering, towel nappies that are dry-pailed as well as mostly line-dried still come out in advance of disposables.
Disposables come in different sizes to suit your expanding bundle-that's- now-turning-into-a-handful, and ultimately you could move right into pull-up trousers from some of the same brands.
MCNs are available in taken care of dimensions, or a one-size-fits-most (OSFM), which has added fastenings for readjusting the nappy as your baby expands.
Fixed-size nappies indicates getting new collections as your child expands larger, so it can cost more. On the various other hand, if you're having more than one kid, you'll utilize the outgrown ones once again.
You'll only need one collection of OSFM nappies, however their longer use implies even more damage, and also they may just last through one child's infancy.
Diaper Materials
The sort of material made use of impacts drying time. All-natural fibres normally take longer to completely dry than synthetics, and also you'll wish to make certain you have enough nappies to obtain via a few days of wet weather condition if you do not have a dryer.
Paper or fabric nappy liners make your washing life simpler by keeping solids off the nappy. Flushable ones make clean-up a cinch!
The absorptive products (covering linings, pads and boosters) consist of bamboo, cotton, hemp or fleece, with breathable polyurethane laminated material (PUL) or lanolised wool commonly made use of for covers– if you have an interest in that type of point.
I want a judgment– which nappy is best?
For environmental and also economic reasons, you cannot go past MCNs.
For ease-of-use and benefit, disposables are the means to go.
Of course it doesn't need to be one or the other: you could utilize towel nappies in your home during the day, and disposables when out as well as about, vanishing, during the night, at childcare, as well as throughout extended periods of rainfall when you 'd rather not make use of the clothes dryer.
If you're uncertain:
Acquire a solitary nappy of each kind that stimulates your rate of interest.
Some MCN companies sell trial packs with examples of the different styles.
Work with a test pack from a nappy library, a service provided by nappy business and also community teams: search the internet for 'modern towel nappy collection' to find one near you.
Just how do I recognize I've selected the right nappy?
Whatever you have actually decided on, below's the list for a great nappy:
No leaking around the legs.
No fluid leaking via the cover.
Not also limited or also loose around hips and legs.
No rubbing or chafing from the nappy or bolts around the legs or hips.
Infant's skin feels reasonably completely dry when the damp nappy is eliminated.
The nappy holds enough liquid to be sensible (ie you do not need to change frequently).
Child could relocate legs freely and also, at later stages, crawl and also walk without being bothered by the nappy.
One last point, are recyclable nappies as much dirty work as they seem?
There's a simple five-step method called dry pailing, which followers say make light work of heavy soils.
Firstly, use flushable linings to catch solids.
Separate the parts (cover as well as extra padding) of the wet nappies, or if they're all-in-ones miss ahead to step 3.
Rinse in chilly water if required.
Put them right into a container with a cover.
Toss the tons right into the washering each day.
With any luck you now have a happy, completely dry baby and also the only thing you have to worry about is how you'll discover time to Instagram every minute!

Chelsea forward Eden Hazard wants to join Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as one of the world's leading players.
The Belgian has been in blistering form this season, scoring 11 goals in 34 appearances, but is not content with sitting on his laurels.
The Primera Division pair have won the last six Ballons d'Or between them and Hazard is keen to replicate their incredible attacking statistics.
"These players are the best on the planet," he told the BBC's 'Football Focus'.
"They score one, two, three goals every game. It's something you've got to aim for – to go up to get to their level. They are obviously top, top level players."
The 23-year-old believes that he is already on his way to the upper echelons of the game but accepts that catching the Real Madrid and Barcelona stars at the pinnacle will require plenty more work.
"I'd probably say I'm up there with some of the best but we've got to realise there are lots and lots of good players in the world," Hazard continued.
"To get to their level, it's a case of working hard every day in training, enjoying myself and expressing myself as much as I can on the football field.
"What I would like to do is shed the adjective 'young' because that would mean I've crossed that barrier and gone one step further in my career."

Magazine article American Banker
Banks' 'Goodwill' Idea Leaves FASB Cold
Article excerpt
The Financial Accounting Standards Board expressed doubt Wednesday about an industry alternative to its proposal that would eliminate pooling-of-interests accounting for mergers. Representatives of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co., Goldman Sachs & Co., Deloitte & Touche, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and Arthur Andersen recommended that goodwill be recorded on the books as an asset and tested for reductions in value. The presentation contrasts the FASB's original proposal, under which goodwill -- the difference between a company's acquisition price and its underlying assets -- would be written off over a 40-year period under the purchase method of accounting. Elimination of pooling has been controversial because many companies argue that amortizing goodwill under the FASB's proposal automatically assumes it to be a diminishing asset. The presenters recommended a model "impairment" test Wednesday that would let companies evaluate goodwill and then account for gains or losses in its value. Though FASB Chairman Edmund L. Jenkins said the presentation would be a part of future deliberations on the issue, he noted that similar proposals have produced negative feedback. "Most companies have told us they'd rather write (goodwill) off immediately than take an impairment charge at an uncertain later date," Mr. Jenkins said. Representatives from Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs argued that goodwill should not be amortized, because it introduces more error into analysts' attempts to predict earnings from financial statements and fails to accurately reflect economic reality. …

S/ smart squares
smart squares are muslin squares made of 100% cotton.
in the back of each square an elastic is sewn in a corner in order to use the square in different ways.
1. regular muslin square: you can use the square as a regular muslin and burp cloth
2. bandana: you can fold the square into a triangle (leaving the elastic at one of the two corners) and pass one end of the triangle into the loop of the elastic in order to make a bandana around your child's neck. It can be useful when your child is teething or to cover his or her neck when it is cold
3. neck napkin: you leave the square completely unfolded and pass the opposite corner of the elastic in the elastic's loop in order to make a long napkin when you child starts to eat proper food. that way you keep the mess away!
the elastics are from Japan and are very resistent to use, hot water and tumble dryer. Do not put the iron directly on the elastic though.

Do you often take reckless and unnecessary risks that put you in danger?
Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience."
— Paulo Coelho
Coelho is not the first, nor will he be the last, to speak about why taking risks is integral to our success stories. Muhammad Ali also once said: "He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life."
Perfect. You can't argue with these gems of knowledge. They are true: we cannot achieve much in life without getting out of our comfort zones, unless things are served to us on a platter.
But we all know there's a difference between taking good risks and attempting reckless ones. Here, we will talk about those people who can't distinguish between the two. Those who take unnecessary risks, which are sometimes not only plain stupid, but also dangerous and fatal. We're talking about risks that cause damages.
Now that we have distinguished between good risks and bad ones, let's now find out how by looking at handwriting we can know whether someone takes risks to get ahead in life or screw up his life.
Very few of us will disagree with the belief that life is all about limitations in right doses. Even the best of risk takers do not beyond a point and their moves are mostly calculated and thoughtful. But those who make reckless risks without an iota of planning or preparations fall on their faces and often end up with a bloody nose, if not literally in all cases.
In graphology, or handwriting analysis, a person's ability to understand and respect his limitations is seen in the way he uses margins on all sides of the page — top, bottom, left and right. The presence of margins, or the lack of it, in a handwriting sample points to some very crucial personality traits of the writer, and his inclination/aversion to take calculated/dangerous risks is seen in the right margin of the handwriting.
Also Read: Signature Analysis
For example, people who leave a lot of margin on the right tend to be overcautious all the time, whereas those whose pens usually crash into the right edge of the paper are the ones who do not differentiate between good and bad risks. They fail to comprehend that though it's important to push the boundaries in pursuit of excellence and success, it is equally important to know when to stop.
To know about crushed right margin and many other types, read this wonderful article by Write Choice author Bhavana Bhat on margins in handwriting.

In order to develop an essay, you may need to bring in additional experiences, observations, and thoughts-information that reflects not only your specific experiences, but also the general human experience. An essay always uses your own personal insights and thoughts as its basis, but it also broadens out so that those thoughts have relevance for others. (dave barry's syndicated newspaper columns provide a good example. I'm thinking of one essay in particular that described his experience with a new wood toilet, the kind that doesn't use much water and thus doesn't flush very well. He used his own experience as the basis for a broader reflection on problems with modern technology and problems with legislation, things that most adults can relate to in some way.). So, how do you work with your prewriting to make that shift from self to subject? Review it to identify the various main ideas that are embedded in the prewriting. Write the ideas in thesis form. That is, make an assertion that explains your own insight or idea about the topic, and write that assertion in complete sentence form.
The point of prewriting is to record an array of thoughts so that you have a pool to draw from for your essay. You may have recorded a mish-mash of information and ideas. I know that I think of my prewriting as a splatter. My prewriting tends to be the stuff that's in my head that I just have to spill out on paper (okay, so i have messy stuff going on in my head). The task then becomes to sort through that stuff, choosing some pieces and discarding others, so that I'm moving from a hodgepodge of information to a focus that I can develop and support for an essay. In essence, to work with prewriting, you need to move from self to subject. As important as each piece of prewriting is in helping you identify ideas for writing, a prewriting entry alone may not provide enough information to write a whole essay. Prewriting is confined only to your own experiences, observations, and thoughts.

You want to work quickly without rushing. Review your initial map by thinking about how each idea connects to the main word. Connect concepts, and organize the ideas by level of importance or where they fight fall in your essay or paper. Continue prewriting by reworking and organizing the map until you can generate a working review outline from. Prewriting strategy #4: using listing and outlining. By creating an outline or list as a prewriting exercise, you are putting ideas that relate to your essay topic into a more organized structure. You can do this as your main prewiring strategy, or you can use what you developed in one of the other strategies.
For listing, create a list of areas within your topic while using parallel structure for consistency. Create a hierarchy of what is in your list by creating levels and sublevels based on importance. Make sure to keep areas that are of equal importance listed at the same level. From the list you create, you can create a working outline on which to base your next steps. Regardless of the prewriting strategy you use, use this process to narrow and define your topic and prepare you for writing your essay. At the end of the prewriting phase, you should be able to develop a working outline from which you create your first draft.
Do not stop and examine what you write. Write freely and quickly to write down everything that comes to mind. When your allotted time is up, go back to look at your initial summary sentence for your essay topic. Change the summary based on any key ideas or thoughts that might have shifted, narrowed or defined your topic even more. Take your prewriting thoughts and put them into a working outline. Prewriting strategy #3: making a mental map.
Making a mental map as a way to engage in prewriting involves using a piece of blank paper or a chalk board. Start by writing down the most important word or phrase you associate with your topic. Draw a circle around it to which you can make connecting lines. Think of ideas that can branch off. Draw as many connections as possible, connecting ideas with lines to create a map while also leaving plenty of white space to grow your map. Erase, and rework the map as necessary throughout this prewriting process, but avoid spending too much time thinking on any one topic.

Ask questions, and answer them if you can. The main idea is to write for the full amount of restaurant time without worrying about grammar and word choice; just put your shakespeare ideas down to pick from and organize afterword. Once you are done brainstorming, look over the information you wrote down, and look for main ideas that stand out or words or ideas that you can develop into individual aspects of your topic to develop into a working outline. Prewriting strategy #2: focusing your freewriting. Like with brainstorming, freewriting requires you to set about 5-15 minutes for the prewriting process. Prior to beginning, summarize your topic into one sentence. Once the clock starts for your freewriting session, do not stop writing.
narrows and defines your topic. There are several ways you can approach prewriting. The goal, however, is the same with each approach: to hone in on the specifics of your topic, and discover the structure and presentation of how you want your essay or paper to look. Prewriting gets you organized, but before employing any of the below strategies, focus mentally by clearing your mind and removing distractions. Prewriting strategy #1: brainstorming, give yourself anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes to write freely. Before you start this prewriting exercise, write or type one sentence that summarizes your topic. Keep any research you have already conducted in mind, and start freewriting. Write down everything that comes to mind about your topic.
There are many different prewriting techniques, and they appeal to different types of thinkers. It is not necessary to use the same prewriting technique all the time; different types of writing, in fact, may benefit more from one of the particular prewriting techniques listing below. Freewriting Writing about the topic continuously and without self-censorship or concern for spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Clustering (Mapping) Using a diagram to arrange and connect points related to the topic. Questioning Producing a series of questions related to the topic. Brainstorming Noting points brought up by discussing the topic with others. Listing Creating a simple vertical list of ideas related to the topic. Outlining Employing an informal version of the traditional writing outline.
Advantages and, disadvantages of travelling
There are a number of different ways the steps summary of the writing process can be defined and sequenced. I prefer the arrangement shown below because it can easily be recalled with the mnemonic device. Prewriting generating ideas about the topic. Organizing Arranging ideas, drafting putting ideas into sentences and paragraphs. Revising rewriting for logic, clarity, and cohesion. Editing Proofreading and correcting spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors. Prewriting is the essential first step to the writing process. The goal of prewriting is to generate ideaslots of ideasand access unconscious material. Thus it is important that the critical mind be turned off during this stage of the writing process.

Gibberish gushing
Gushing forth the pleasantries of the office tittle tattle — morning, how are you, what did you do last night. Ignoring the burst of smiling and the head down on the laptop as people respond and not an ear pricked in the direction.
Lapsed time turned opened and BBC news read, emails deleted. Cups of coffee, latte fuelled agro by the tills. Double de-caff bollocks please with flip of croissant if you please, says the grey man in the grey suit carrying the grey briefcase inside the grey laptop. Life doubled and measured by the number of crap suits that we attire ourselves with.
Ties and shirts, that's it with silver cuff-links. Stupid, fatuous garbage we bagged to the hilt with money we owe. Gullible to to ad-mans tongue of what we MUST have. The fast cars with guzzling engines and polluting lungs for all of us to breathe. The fast cars speeding along empty roads carving the nonsense and dullness that is left and the rage of being told the lie.
Fancy magazines trash our stores of stuff, more stuff and more. Stop.

Cleveland Cavaliers fans still appear to be salty that Kyrie Irving didn't want to defend "The Land" anymore.
And now that Irving is a member of the Boston Celtics, he's the perfect target for some easy jabs from the Cavs faithful.
Exhibit A: This clever subway advertisement.
Now, we have no idea why a New York subway train is promoting the Cavs, but either way, whoever bought this advertisement gets points for creativity.
The ad obviously takes a shot at Irving's ruse(?) that he believes the Earth is flat, and while it's low-hanging fruit, any fan who is willing to purchase subway ad space probably has more tricks in the bag.
Irving was traded for Isaiah Thomas (mentioned on the seat), Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic, the Brooklyn Nets' 2018 first-round draft pick and the Miami Heat's 2020 second-round pick in August, as he wanted to step out of LeBron James' shadow.
We don't expect Cavs fans to move on anytime soon.

At the beginning of the last century women in Norway had few rights
and opportunities. Norwegian women played no part in the political
life. The right for women to vote was first accepted in 1913 and
the first female member of parliament was elected in the 1920`s.
Female participation in working-life was dependent on social status
and the family economy. No matter social status married women remained
out of work. The family economy was dependent on the fathers income
and he therefore also controlled the family's total consumption.
Those women who chose to divorce their husbands experienced great
financial and social difficulties. Many women chose to remain in
a difficult marriage rather than get a divorce and all the problems
that would follow this choice.
After the second world war Norway was faced with the extensive
task of rebuilding the country. The idea of the welfare state was
developed and realised after the war and during the 50s and 60s.
Employment for all was an important prerequisite for the successful
development of a welfare state. This meaning employment for all
men! In relation to women the political aim and a sign of high status
was having a husband supporting wife and children. Those women choosing
to work were quite unique and few in numbers. In the 1960s less
than 20% of the female population were employed. Even less than
20% of the married women were employed. More than any other European
country the Norwegian society depended on the housewives! Due to
the development of the welfare state and financial progress families
could offer their children education beyond primary school. Education
was mainly offered the sons - the destiny of the daughters were
to be mothers and housewives. Slowly also young women were offered
higher education.
During the late 60s and early 70s many changes occurred in Europe,the
United States and the rest of the world. Students attacked the established
society and got increasingly involved in political issues. Women's
rights and liberation were put on the agenda in many countries.
Also the United Nations and the European Union focused on gender
equality, women's rights and living conditions. Also Norway put
the issue of gender equality on the agenda. Women's organisations
had been working for gender equality and women's rights since the
beginning of the century. They now experienced prosperity and increased
attendance. New organisations and female wings of political parties
were established. Their work was aimed at both the public and within
the political parties, and demands were put forward for political
codetermination and statutory protection against gender discrimination.
In Norway The Gender Equality Council was established in 1972.
The functions of the Gender Equality Council was to strengthen women's
rights and promote change leading to gender equality. In 1973 a
committee was established to prepare a proposal for the Gender Equality
Act. The committee put forward its proposal in 1975 and the Act
of today does not differ greatly from this initial proposal. The
political parties agreed that gender equality was an important issue,
but as to whether Norway needed a Gender Equality Act there was
some disagreement. The different opinions also involved the issue
regarding whether the Act should be neutral in relation to gender
or if it should only prohibit discrimination of women.
The Gender Equality Act passed in the Parliament in 1978 and entered
into force in 1979, four year after the proposal was presented to
the Parliament. A result of the Act was the appointment of the first
Gender Equality Ombud in 1979.
There is no doubt that women's organisations in Norway played an
important role in the work for gender equality, the Gender Equality
Act and the Gender Equality Ombud. The work of women's organisations
has also been decisive in the work to promote law-reform related
to gender equality .The Gender Equality Act - which is my field
of work - has entailed great changes in Norwegian society, but not
entirely on its own. Our constant political focus on women's and
mens rights and positions, the importance of amending legislation
and promoting a change in attitude and behaviour regarding gender
equality have also been of great importance.The Gender Equality
Act has given us a statutory basis for demanding equal treatment
of women and men in working-life. Especially relating to equal pay
and appointments. The Act has also made it possible for the Gender
Equality Ombud to put forward the topic of non-discriminatory treatment
of women and men in relation to amending or introducing legislation
in other areas of the law. The Gender Equality Act applies to discrimination
between women and men in all areas of the society and as a consequence
of this my work is almost unlimited.
The Gender Equality Act gives the Gender Equality Ombud two main
tasks. The primary task of the Gender Equality Ombud is to ensure
that the provisions of the Act are followed. Any individual, organisation
or group of people feeling discriminated against may bring cases
before the Ombud. In addition to this the Ombud shall work to promote
gender equality in the society as a whole. This entails that the
Ombud must join in the general debate and express her views regarding
gender equality. The Ombud must also ensure that the Gender Equality
Act and the Ombud is made known to the public. During the past 20
years since the Act entered into force the Ombud has dealt with
many complaints regarding discrimination; especially discrimination
within the working-life. Additionally all our former Ombuds have
been public figures through media's interest in gender topics. The
Ombud gives her opinion on gender related politics through hearings
related to new legislation and proposed public undertakings.
Compared to the situation 50 years ago women now experience a different
situation and hold other positions. Today more than 70% of the female
population are employed, and their financial independence has as
such improved. The female participation in the working life is also
high for those with small children.Women are employed in all areas
of the work-force, but there are certain areas of the working life
where women are in majority or minority. The Norwegian working life
is divided due to gender. The jobs typically held by females are
in the public sector, work of a caring nature and teaching. In the
private sector females hold jobs in the commodity trade. Almost
half of the female work force work part time. This is mainly due
to the fact that women still have the main responsibility for children
and other household chores. Most women therefore hold "two"
jobs, and the only way to combine them is to reduce the working
hours for one of them.
One of the reasons that so many women work is the introduction
of the welfare system in the 1960 and the more recent developments
in this system. We have good systems for leave of absence with pay
in conjunction with pregnancy and birth. In 1977 our Act relating
to worker protection and working environment entered into force
and allowed for leave of absence with pay in conjunction with giving
birth. Parents are entitled to leave of absence for 52 weeks with
80% of their original pay. The pay is covered by our National Insurance.
The right to leave of absence is compulsory for the mother three
weeks prior to giving birth and 6 weeks after giving birth. The
father has an exclusive right to four of the 52 weeks. If the father
does not wish to use this right it may not be transferred to the
mother. The additional 39 weeks may be shared amongst the parents
as they wish.The four week father quota was introduced in 1993 and
to day more than 80% of the fathers use this right. This right is
used both by fathers holding high positions in the economic life
and politicians. A few years ago our Minister of Finance chose to
stay at home for four weeks with his new born child. As already
mentioned the father may also choose to stay at home with his child
for a longer period of time. This is a simple procedure, but still
most women choose to stay at home for most of the time.The possibilities
to combine work and politics with childcare entails that also younger
women and men can participate in important social development.
The present Norwegian Government consists of many women and many
of the Ministers have small children. They combine important political
work with that of being a parent. During the past few years we have
had a few female Ministers taking leave of absence after giving
birth while still being a Minister. There is no general dissatisfaction
or disagreement to this arrangement, although I consider this arrangement
impossible only 20 - 30 years ago.The length of the leave of absence
in conjunction with pregnancy and birth makes it possible to combine
children and staying in the work force. This again has led to an
increasing number of child-births in Norway. Our birth rate is today
1.75 and with this number we are one of the European countries with
the highest number of child-births seen in relation to the population
as a whole. As a comparison , and to my knowlegde, Japanese women
on average give birth to 1.32 children. This may be due to the fact
that Japanese women to a greater extent must choose between work
and children, and that some due to this situation wait until they
are older before founding a family.
Even if women take part in the work force at almost the same rate
as men, we still experience great differences as to which positions
are held by women and those that are held by men. Most highest positions
in both the private and the public sector are held by men. The female
participation in such top positions are only 6%-7% in the private
sector and 20-25% in the public sector. One could hope that this
low number was due to differences in education and work experience.
But the bitter fact is today that more women than men complete higher
education at our Universities. Women have also been in the work
force so long that one can not claim that the lack of female leaders
is due to their lack of experience. One reason so few women hold
high positions may be that there is still scepticism as to women's
competence in working life. The complaints received by my office
clearly show that women are discriminated against when appointed.
In numbers these complaints are received more often than any other
Norway is often describes as a country based on gender equality
due to the fact that many women are active in the political field.
This is indeed true. Our present Government consists of 8 women
and 11 men. The women constitute 42%. In our Parliament, Stortinget
37% of the representatives are women. On the local level we have
42,8% women in the county council and 35,4% in the municipal council.It
is important to note that there are no formal quota requirements
for elected political positions. The large number of women participating
in the political field are due to non-legal mechanisms. In particular
efforts within the political parties, pressure from women's organisations
and "vote for women" campaigns. The major political parties
have their own internal female quotas of at least 40% in connection
with nominations to elections and the composition of our governing
bodies at all levels. Since 1986 there has been a customary practice
for the Prime Minister to have at least 40% female Ministers in
his or her Government. In my opinion these rules have played an
important role and proved to be quite effective.
Even if we have achieved some of our goals and experience admiration
for our work relating to gender equality we still have more ground
to cover and challenges to be met in the future. Women still have
the main responsibility for children and the home. Men have changed,
but less so than women. Men are to a greater extent involved in
their children's everyday life, but many men still believe that
their main occupation should be working rather than caring for children.
A combination of work and childcare is considered to be too difficult.
I believe that this has more to do with tradition and a stereotypical
understanding of the different sexes rather that an understanding
based upon reality. In the future, we must put more focus on the
man and the future male role-model. My office experience that men
feel that they are discriminated against when it comes to childcare
and the right to spend time with their children after divorce. After
a divorce many men loose contact with their children and find it
difficult to be considered capable of taking care of their children
on equal terms with the mothers.
We still have a substancial gender pay gap in Norway. Womens salary
is 86% of that of men. This tell us that there are still great differences
in what men and women are paid in Norway. Equal pay for work of
equal value is an area that the Ombud has taken into consideration
many times over the past years and which still needs a constant
focus. The different pay-checks are often due to the fact that women
and men hold different jobs. The jobs traditionally held by women
are those of a caring nature or in teaching and are often paid less
than those jobs typically held by men. In addition to this women
often work part time and as a result of this they are paid less.But
even if women do the same kind of work as men they may still be
paid less. The right to equal pay for work of equal value is stated
in the Gender Equality Act as well as many international instruments.
My office regularly receive complaints from women both in private
and in public companies that are paid less than those men they compare
their work with. We investigate and in some of these cases we found
that there's a violation of the Act. We then actually demand the
employer to increase the woman's salary.
In Norway we often experience that the work for and focus on gender
equality is considered an issue for mature women. Young women and
men consider gender equality an old fashioned topic that already
has been achieved and that we no longer need to promote. It is therefore
a challenge for everyone working for gender equality in Norway today
to reach out to the young people.
Conluding comments
The Gender Equality Act has been one of the main strategies to achieving
equal opportunities. Probably the most important aspect of this
Act is that it has provided for an ombud to enforce it. Having such
an institution, free of charge, allows people to complain of situations
in which they feel discriminated because of gender, and the threshold
for correcting inequalities is lower. This means that the discrimination
becomes visible and can be redressed.
The Norwegian view is that to achieve gender equality in a society,
it is not enough merely to focus on the situation of women, or to
introduce temporary special measures in favour of women. Men's lives
and male roles must also be placed on the agenda. A major remaining
obstacle to gender equality is the low degree of men's participation
in care-related work. Thus in Norway men's participation in this
type of work, both in the family and in society, is encouraged.
Our present Minister for Gender Equality have recently presented
a gender equality report to our Parliament, and in this document
she introduces the need for an expansion of the father's quota from
four to ten weeks. I am sure that such a change will lead to important
changes in the role of men and by that impovement of gender equality
in Norway.
Another important decision made by the Government is proposal is
the to put forward to the Parliament a new legislation on quotas
in boards of private and public companies.Our Minister for Trade
and Industry stated on 7th march last year that if the companies
do not manage themselves within the end of 2005, there are going
to be a stautory duty to have at least 40% of each sex in every
private and public board. My hope is that this new legislation will
improve the position of women within business life.
Even though we are becoming steadily closer to the goal of equality
between women and men in Norway, we have learned that promoting
gender equality in society as a whole is an unending project.
