When we say food security, we often refer to fertilized, harmful food in areas where diseases are abundant and nutrition lacks. However, scientists often seem to forget about the food problems in the USA, Europe and other developed regions. In Africa, diseases and malnutrition are two of the key aspects of food problems; however, in USA, as an example, fast food and fertilized food are still huge problems causing dozens of unprecedented and inevitable health issues.

However, there is a real inequality in the labor market, which is often called gender inequality being associated with another term “gender pay gap”. Although there have been remarkable achievements in the equalizing gender opportunities in labor market, still certain aspects remain to be a handicap. It is an obvious fact that men are more likely to get paid highly than women are. In fact, the access that women have to high-paying jobs is very constrained or they often find part-time jobs only. Back in old ages when women did not participate in the labor market, there was neither a change for them to work nor any suitable job for their capacity due to lack of education or family related reasons. Despite nowadays the literacy rate of women has increased dramatically and many jobs for women have emerged in the market, we are still behind the target that we wish to reach. This paper is exploring the key determinants that hold women back from getting high-paying jobs in the labor market. In general, to my mind, that are three major reasons why women are not as active participants of labor market as men. These factors include socially accepted norms such as “women should not work in evenings”, religious reasons, and having a spouse (or a partner and kids)

Many stages of analysis processes were involved while checking potentiality of the project such as cost-benefit analysis, financial planning and feasibility check. Although the project was initially thought as privately-run infrastructure, later-on the project was considered to be a public-private partnership, in which the infrastructure was to be built and developed by private company for some decades and then given to the government for ownership and further advancements. Nonetheless, after operating the structure for 2 years (in 2009), the company that was in responsible for construction and operations encountered financial problems because of lower rate of ridership and global economic depression. In that case, the private corporation approached the Ministry of Transportation and Communications of Taiwan with the request that the corporation was unable to pay the loans back and therefore give the railroad to the government to operate. Also, the request that the compensation to be settled by an independent third party was strongly noted. Now the final question is what decision the Ministry of Transportation and Communications should take as a final response to the above-mentioned request.
