    This book explores how rural gender relations are changing in a globalizing world. It integrates experiences across the globe through the discussion of four key themes in rural gender research: agriculture, international development, gender identities and mobility. The first section (chapters 2-6) examines how mobility affects men and women in rural areas. It explores gender differences in mobility patterns and analyses how mobility affects rural gender identities and relations. The second section (chapters 7-11) focuses on agricultural change, the response of individuals within farm households and the implications for gender relations in rural areas. The third section (chapters 12-17) focuses on the construction of identities and the changes occurring in the definition of rural femininity and masculinity as a result of rural transformations. The fourth section (chapters 18-23) examines the role of international development policies in advancing women's well-being in the less developed parts of the world and some of the unintended consequences of such interventions. The contributors to this book present empirical work from the global North and South.

    The low income earners have been excluded from financial services due to their limited ability to access credit as they lack good financial options. Their income is volatile, fluctuating daily and they lack reliable ways to harness the power of their low incomes. This challenge can be met through use of mobile technology to collect data on the socioeconomic activities of the low income earners at minimum costs. The success of the mobile financial services in Kenya cannot be understated coupled with increase in mobile penetration. A mobile based technology for micro-credit already exists through M-Shwari started in the year 2012 on the M-pesa platform to further increase financial inclusion. This paper pro- poses a decision support system that is mobile based for credit scoring, classification and peer group lending of the low income earners in Kenya. This facility is referred to as Mobile Micro Credit System. We hypothesize that, first, mobile micro-credit lending for low income peer groups is similar to that of the conventional individual lending. Second, credit scores and credit quality levels among low income men and women is the same. Third, a mobile based micro credit can further enhance financial inclusion among the low income earners. A comparison is made between the peer groups and individual customers in terms of their credit scores and credit quality levels. The data for the study was extracted from the financial diaries dataset by Financial Sector Deepening. Customers were clustered in peer groups and as individual households based on gender groupings of men only, women only, or men and women. The credit scoring factors were estimated and resulting data trained the hidden Markov model, the classification technique used. The hidden Markov model emit- ted the credit scores and the credit quality levels of the individual households and the peer groups in which the groups had stronger credit scores and credit quality levels compared to those of the individual households. Peer groups for women only, and those of men and women had superior credit scores when compared to men only peer groups. The optimal peer group size for lending is between four and eight members. The current mobile financial services offer a baseline to implement a mobile micro credit service for the low income earners. This is an incentive for financial services providers to consider providing mobile based micro credit loans to low income earners.

    Ebenso alt wie das Reden über Männlichkeit dürfte das Phänomen der medial ausgerufenen Krise der Männlichkeit sein, einer zutiefst nostalgischen Litanei, die von diversen Mitspielern produziert und regelmäßig wiederbelebt wird. Sie trägt verschiedene Gesichter in den Medien und reicht vom Entfesselungsaufruf, wie ihn Männerzeitschriften kultivieren, wenn sie ihre Verweichlichungshysterie mit Bildern bärtiger Großstädter am Holzkohlegrill oder am Steuer eines Geländewagens zu besänftigen suchen, bis hin zur rechten Polemik eines Akif Pirinçci, der in seinem Skandalbuch Deutschland von Sinnen (2014) dem „zur Memme transformierten deutschen Mann“ nachtrauert, der sich unter der vermeintlichen Knute von Feminismus, Political-Correctness-Zeitgeist und dem Diktat „abnormale[r] Sexualität“ selbst abhandengekommen sein soll. Derlei kontroverse Einlassungen stehen durchaus symptomatisch (wenn auch besonders zugespitzt) für die andauernden publizistischen Erfolge von Titeln wie Männerbeben (2007), Was vom Manne übrigblieb (2008), So wird der Mann ein Mann! (2010), Das entehrte Geschlecht (2012) und Der ungezähmte Mann (2018) – Manifeste, die regelmäßig auf den Bestsellerlisten auftauchen und immer dann den ,Krisenmann‘ heraufbeschwören, wenn Debatten über Gewalt im großstädtischen Raum oder männliche ,Bildungsversager‘ geführt werden.
