Journal Title: Аграрна економіка - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
The article presents the main results of the study of the presence of gender inequality in the Ukrainian village as a brake factor for the balanced development of rural areas in the country. The results of identification of the essence and forms of gender inequality in rural areas, its socio-psychological roots and causes of existence are summarized. The evolution and diversification forms and spheres of gender inequality in the village are presented and analyzed, the main indicators of the level of this inequality are studied and systematized, and the main directions and ways of its reduction and overcoming are grounded, as well as a set of possible measures for realization of these ways is outlined. It has been argued that gender inequality is more pronounced in rural areas, than in other regions, especially in the city, and that the main forms and areas of manifestation of this inequality have a certain degree of natural history and the nature acquired during the development of society. That is, the phenomenon of the existence of gender inequality is a consequence of the action of objective physiological and psychological factors, as well as the result of stereotyped thinking and worldview without attention to the presence of new aspects of modern living conditions and work in the countryside. These conditions have always been and remain quite specific and different from living and working conditions in urban areas, although in the process of evolution of rural life, this specificity and difference have acquired a new character. The basis of the rural economy is still agriculture, that is – work on the ground, and agriculture will continue to be the base of the rural economy in the near future. Therefore, the development of the agricultural economy will, to a decisive extent, determine the success of the implementation of the concept of sustainable development of these rural regions. So, development of agriculture as well as the sustainability of the development of rural areas as the whole will depend on the level of the problem of gender inequality regulation since gender inequality is a concrete manifestation of social injustice and without social aspects of life and work in village there are no reasons to talk about some sustainability of the development of its three spheres.
