More than half of the world's farmers are women. They are the majority of the poor, the uneducated and are the first to suffer from drought and famine. Yet their subordination is reinforced by well-meaning development policies that perpetuate social inequalities. During the 1975-85 United Nations Decade for the Advancement of Women their position actually worsened. This book analyses three decades of policies towards Third World women. Focusing on global economic and political crises - debt, famine, militarization, fundamentalism - the authors show how women's moves to organize effective strategies for basic survival are central to an understanding of the development process.

Poverty is increasing throughout the world. Increasing numbers of the world's poor are women. For the 19902, when (according to the International Labor Organization in Geneva) 90% of the unpaid labor of the world is done by women, Hilda Scott produces startling evidence to show that the position of women is deteriorating and will continue to do so. She looks at the facts on job segregation, pay and conditions, and assesses the effects of technology, showing how women the world over are literally working their way into poverty. She proposes a way of looking at women's poverty that will give us a new approach to poverty in general. -- Back cover.

The 'feminisation of poverty' is viewed as a global trend, and of particular concern in developing regions. Yet although popularisation of the term may have raised women's visibility in development discourses and gone some way to 'en-gender' policies for poverty reduction, the construct is only weakly substantiated. This work covers this topic.
