Women and Adjustment Policies in the Third World Hardback
Edited by Haleh Afshar, Carolyne Dennis
Part of the Women's Studies at York Series series
Hardback
Description
The Third World debt crisis, the International Monetary Fund and World Bank's adjustment policies have compelled many countries to move towards a contraction of public sector expenditure in favour of market orientated development policies.
Women in general and the poorest amongst them in particular have borne a disproportionate burden of the ensuing hardships.
This book addresses the shortcomings in the current gender blind analytical frameworks of governments and financial organisations and offers alternative strategies for combating recession and poverty.
