| Abstract: | The study has investigated the comparative importance of financial access in promoting gender inclusion in African countries. Gender inclusion is proxied by the female labour participation rate while financial channels include: financial system deposits and private domestic credit. The empirical evidence is based on non-contemporary Fixed Effects regressions. In order to provide more implications on comparative relevance, the dataset is categorised into income levels (middle income versus (vs.) low income); legal origins (French civil law vs. English common law); religious domination (Islam vs. Christianity); openness to sea (coastal vs. landlocked); resource-wealth (oil-poor vs. oil-rich) and political stability (stable vs. unstable). Six main hypotheses are tested, notably, that middle income, English common law, Christianity, coastal, oil-rich and stable countries enjoy better levels of “financial access†-induced gender inclusion compared to respectively, low income, French civil law, Islam, landlocked, oil-poor and unstable countries. All six tested hypothesis are validated. This is the first study on the comparative importance of financial access in gender economic participation. |

| Abstract: | For raising and educating their minor children, parents have rights and duties, including the right to have personal relations with the minor if, as a result of a divorce, the child lives with one of them. In this respect, the law establishes that the parent at which the child does not reside has the right to have personal connections (relations) with the minor at his or her home. During the period when the state of emergency was established in Romania, the right of the child and of the parent to accomplish their natural connections in the best possible conditions was made with difficulty, but the courts ruling the best measures for such situations were decisive. This study analyzes how the minor’s visitation schedule can be carried out by the parent with whom the child does not actually live, in case of declaring a state of emergency in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic when, for a certain period of time, in order to prevent the spread of the virus and to ensure the public health of its citizens, public authorities have restricted the exercise of several human rights. |
