This book links gender issues to the life-courses of women and men.
Gender-based discrimination is experienced differently according to
age, generation, and status in the family. In particular, female
children and elderly women perform an enormous amount of the
world's work. endure appalling abuse of the human rights, and
receive disproportionately few benefits from development. Writers
here call for development policy and practice to recognise this
vast contribution, and enforce the rights of women of all ages to
an equal share of development outcomes. Other topics included here
are the use of life-histories in understanding social and economic
change; the economic survival of older people and children in an
era of AIDS; the vulnerability of older men to gender-based abuse;
girl-trafficking and AIDS; educating adolescent girls and boys to
eradicate gender inequality; and the role of employment in changing
young women's status in society. Countries featured include
Bangladesh, Mexico, Jordan, Tanzania, and Nepal. Authors include
Maribel Blasco and Ann Varley, Sabina Rashid, and Sylvia Beales.
