Households headed by women are a growing presence worldwide. This is the first book to focus on their diversity and dynamics in developing countries. Set within the context of global trends and debates on female household headship, and using case-study material based on interviews with low-income women in Mexico, Costa Rica and the Philippines, the analysis explores the reasons for the formation and increase in women-headed households in different parts of the world, and their capacity for survival in societies where male-headed households are both the norm and ideal.

Extrait de la préface : "This book examines the socioeconomic status of female-headed households (FHHs), aspects of their poverty, and the implications of those for sustainable rural development. The Indian State of West Bengal has been used as a case study. The assumption that FFHs dominate the porrer section of the community and have less access to esources than others is tested. We also assess the effectiveness of development programs, that is, trickle-down and sustainable rural development. With this information we define the porr and identify appropriate poverty alleviation programs."

The research has focused on the socio-economic situation of female headed households. It identifies factors that make women to be a lone mother. It costs light on their socio-economic situation and the problems of heads of FHH. It has discuses the coping strategies adopted to tackle the problems Among the various factors that result in being female headed households, divorce took a large share. Financial problems, infidelity, sexual incompatibility, drunkenness of husbands and different abuses perpetrated against wives lead to the disruption of marriage. Moreover, the death of husband, childbearing outside the wedlock, abandonment by a partner, separation and polygamous marriage are also identified reasons for the emergence of causing female headship. Female headed households are living in different socio-economic condition. Regarding their economic conditions, the majority are self-employed while others are employed, wage earner, and unemployed. As found out in the research in relation to their occupation, most of them are engaged in petty trading activities while others are office workers, and daily laborers.
