As a result of widespread mistreatment and overt discrimination,
women in the developing world often lack autonomy. Towards Gender
Equity in Development brings together leading scholars working on
gender issues to explore key sources of female empowerment and
discuss the current challenges and opportunities for the future.
Exploring three key domains, this book adopts a clear
multi-disciplinary approach to present different perspectives from
gender-focused economics and social research. It covers marriage
and women's relative bargaining position within the household; the
options available to women outside of marriage and in the context
of their community; and overarching discriminatory laws and
cultural norms. It engages with questions of how marriage, divorce,
and remarriage practices have evolved and with what effects for
women; how female empowerment can benefit from improving options
and economic and collective action opportunities; and how the
government can act as a lawmaker to contribute to modifying norms
and practices that disadvantage women.
