Gender Mainstreaming in Poverty Eradication and the Millennium Development Goals by Naila Kabeer

Gender Mainstreaming in Poverty Eradication and the Millennium Development Goals by Naila Kabeer

Neglect of gender inequalities in the distribution of resources, responsibilities and power in the processes of economic accumulation and social reproduction has a high cost for women, children and other dependents and for the development of society as a whole. This book highlights the inter-connections between production and reproduction within different societies; women's critical role in straddling both and points to various synergies, trade-offs and externalities which these generate. Naila Kabeer's book will be of significant use to policy-makers, practitioners, researchers and other stakeholders committed to the pursuit of pro-poor and human-centred development.

"A gender perspective means recognising that women stand at the crossroads between production and reproduction, between economic activity and the care of human beings, and therefore between economic growth and human developmentThey are workers in both spheres - those most responsible and therefore with most at stake, those who suffer most when the two spheres meet at cross-purposes, and those most sensitive to the need for better integration between the two." Gita Sen
