Description

Abstract: Women have always done "economic" work - growing crops, collecting wild food, and producing useful goods and services for sale - along with the work of preparing food for their families and caring for children and the elderly. Societies have long recognized and accepted the contrast between the multiplicity of roles that women undertake and the more single-minded application to paid work that men adopt. Less well known is the fact that in developing countries, economic activity, whether in agriculture, small-scale business ventures, or wage employment, is much less rewarding for women than it is for men.
