Trade liberalization can create economic opportunities for poor
people. But are these opportunities available to men and women
equally? Do the gender disparities in access to education, health,
credit, and other resources limit the gains from trade and the
potential benefits to poor women? This volume introduces the gender
dimension into empirical analyses of the links between trade and
poverty, which can improve policy making. The collection of
chapters in this book is close to an ideal macro-micro evaluation
technique that explicitly assesses the importance of gender in
determining the poverty effects of trade shocks. Part I, relying on
ex ante simulation approaches, focuses on the macroeconomic links
between trade and gender, where labor market structure and its
functioning play a key role. Part II concentrates on micro models
of households and attempts to identify the ex post effects of trade
shocks on household income levels and consumption choices. It also
addresses questions about possible changes in inequality within
households due to improved economic opportunities for women.
'Gender Aspects of the Trade and Poverty Nexus' will be invaluable
to policy makers, development practitioners and researchers,
journalists, and students.
