poverty

  • 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.

    "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_)

questions learning

shared by J.Randolph Radney on 31 Oct 09 - Cached
  • I gained the respect of my teachers, probably because of this attribute of asking questions, for I certainly wasn’t a model student.
  • Good teachers admire learners who ask pertinent questions.
  • Asking a question offers a teacher the opportunity to fulfil that so-often-difficult-to-attain goal of the pedagogue. The goal is to teach relevantly. While it’s true that learners tend to engage more in learning when they interact during a ‘lesson’, I’m not so sure that speaking up or even asking a question is necessarily exclusive for learning to occur.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • I’m not entirely opposed to the suggestion that questioning is a way to learn. Nor am I questioning the idea that learners will learn nothing if they don’t ask questions. My hunch is that questions are asked in the mind all the time. The trick of learning relevantly lies in asking the right questions.

    Hi, Diana! You can start your blog any time from now till the end of the semester. I would like you to email me with your blog once you have started, and I will credit your grade (participation) in the course accordingly. A couple of students have started blogs (but they are both '060 students, so you can still be the first among the '050 students) :)
