| Description: |
An examination of the hardships endured by women, especially in Third World countries, due to the gender-blind analytical frameworks of government and international financial organizations. The authors in this volume offer alternative strategies for combating recession and poverty. |
| Synopsis: |
The Third World debt crisis, the International Monetary Fund and World Bank's adjustment policies have compelled many countries to move towards a contraction of public sector expenditure in favour of market orientated development policies. Women in general and the poorest amongst them in particular have borne a disproportionate burden of the ensuing hardships. This book addresses the shortcomings in the current gender blind analytical frameworks of governments and financial organisations and offers alternative strategies for combating recession and poverty. |
