| Country | : | India |
| Authors | : | Rupa Basu |
Abstract: In both developed and developing countries women have always been associated with small-scale and home-based businesses for supplementing the household income. However, in recent times, many women are consciously giving up jobs for becoming entrepreneurs in formal as well as informal sectors. It is expected that by the year 2018, 9.72 million small, business-related jobs will be created and female entrepreneurs will contribute more than 50% in this job creation.

| Title | : | Effects of Imprisonment on Inmates at Industrial Area Remand and Lang'ata Women Prisons in Kenya |
| Country | : | Kenya |
| Authors | : | Agasa, Edwin Osebe |
Abstract: This study is an evaluation of the Social, Economic, Psychological, Physical and Health effects of imprisonment on male and female inmates in Industrial Area Remand and Lang'ata Women's prisons in Kenya. It is anchored on the classical theory of punishment which explains crime as a rational behaviour that individuals enter into knowing that action is a choice between pleasure and pain. It is descriptive in nature and uses both probability and non-probability sampling procedures to select 34 male and 24 female respondents. It employs both qualitative (personal interviews) and quantitative (both open ended and closed questions) methods for data collection. Results show that the effects of imprisonment vary on age, gender, marital status, occupation, and parental status of the respondents and duration of confinement. Male inmates aged 51-60 years and female respondents aged 18-25 years are assaulted most.
