Women and Economic Policy
The Focus on Gender; series makes available in book form the contents of the Oxfam journal Gender and Development. Highlighting practice as well as theory, the thematic series makes the resource available to students, researchers, practitioners and policy makers interested in particular topics. This volume is structured around two main themes: macro-economic policy and gender relations; and income-generation projects and empowerment. Covering a wide range of countries, the articles look at many different aspects of women's lives, the effects of economic policies and how women are adapting and organizing to enable their families and communities to survive.
