Abstract

This study aims to discuss women's leadership in education, specifically at the University of Calabar, Nigeria (UNICAL). The role of women in education, previously considered a barrier, was later successfully overcome. This study examined educational institutions in Nigeria from 1975 to 2025. It highlights the barriers women have confronted over time, the milestones they have achieved, and the promise the future holds for female leadership and scholarship. UNICAL is a pioneer institution in Nigeria, which has succeeded in catalyzing gender dynamics and growth. It is little wonder, therefore, that it has produced notable females who have achieved tremendous feats in academia both nationally and internationally. Through a historical and qualitative lens, this research examines the impact of scholars such as Professor Florence Banku, the first female and 11th Vice Chancellor of the University of Calabar, Professor Aniebiet Inyang Ntui, the University Librarian; Professor Stella Ikhesor Ekpe, Dr. Bernadine Nse Ekpenyong, and a host of other notable females. The results of this study's investigation reveal the challenges women have faced in securing education, leadership roles, and influencing the overall academic culture at UNICAL. By documenting this narrative of excellence and analyzing the pattern of inclusion, this work will contribute to the broader discussion on gender equity in the Nigerian and African Higher Institutions. It offers recommendations for strengthening female academic participation in the years to come.

Abstract

This study is based on the rise of the gig economy in Indonesia, particularly in the online transportation sector, which offers work flexibility but often comes with economic vulnerability for its workers. Online drivers face income uncertainty and a lack of social security, threatening the welfare of their households. This study uses qualitative methods with a literature review and in-depth interviews to examine these issues. The theoretical framework combines the concepts of the precariat, digital political-economic analysis, and human security perspectives to understand the vulnerabilities experienced by workers. The results show that the flexible work system based on digital platforms creates economic uncertainty for online driver workers. This situation is characterized by fluctuating and unguaranteed income, a partnership status that is vulnerable to termination at any time, and very limited social protection. In conclusion, the pseudo-flexibility in this gig economy model creates precarious conditions that undermine the economic security of online drivers and negatively impact their families' welfare. Therefore, structural efforts are needed to improve protection and certainty for workers in Indonesia's gig economy ecosystem.
