Gender Mainstreaming in Poverty Eradication and the Millennium Development Goals - 1 views

  • Chapter 1 provides a brief history of the changing policy discourse and the processes that led to the greater visibility of both poverty reduction and gender equality
  • Chapter 2 charts the gradual evolution of macroeconomic analysis from its earlier gender-blindness to current attempts to make it more gender aware.
  • Chapter 3 sketches out an ‘institutional framework’ for the analysis of gender inequality within the economy and explores its variation across the world.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Chapter 4 turns to a more detailed examination of the relationship between gender inequality and poverty at regional and national levels, drawing on findings from three different approaches to poverty analysis: the poverty line approach; the capabilities approach (using human development indicators); and participatory poverty assessments.
  • Women’s role as economic actors – and its critical importance to the livelihoods of the poor across the world – is considered in Chapter 5.
  • Chapter 6 focuses on the human development concerns of the MDGs.
  • Chapter 7 reinforces the critical importance of certain resources to women’s capacity to exercise agency, but this time focuses on forms of agency that are in the interests of women themselves – in other words, those that serve the goals of women’s empowerment and gender justice.
  • The final chapter (Chapter 8) attempts to draw out the implications of the relationship between gender equality and pro-poor growth for policy efforts to achieve the MDGs.
  • Millennium Development Goal (MDG) on poverty eradication.

    poverty is my main topics for my essays. so i think this is interesting to me

    "In September 2000, at the United Nations Millennium Summit, 189 governments across the world made a commitment to take collective responsibility for halving world poverty by 2015."
  •  
    So far, one of the few countries making progress on-track to achieve this goal is (surprisingly) Bangladesh (cited in Yunus, Mohammad. _Creating a World Without Poverty_)
