Tax policy and feminism: competing goals and institutional choices

Article Abstract:

Many feminist tax reform proposals fail to consider the limited impact that tax law changes can have on economic behavior and on entrenched social roles. Tax incentives favoring working women or caregivers compromise equal treatment principles, and equal treatment proposals such as individual filing do little to address family labor issues. Integrating appropriate tax law changes with changes in other legal regimes offers the most promise for improving women's economic well-being and power. Any feminist tax reforms must be based on sound empirical and normative evidence.

Article Abstract:

The administration of the universal service system for telecommunications which was developed under the Communications Act of 1934 has been substantially altered by the Telecommunications Act of 1996. However, the conflicts between state and federal regulation continue. Consumers and the industry would best be served by the adoption of a suggested experimentalist solution based upon federal coordination and cooperative efforts.

The international human rights of the child: do they protect the female child?

Article Abstract:

International conventions protecting children and women do not adequately address the particular discriminations and human rights violations perpetrated against female children. Existent conventions could provide some relief if they were integrated and did not contain the many reservations rendering them ineffectual. Issues which should be integrated include those of health, economics, culture, politics, and education.
