This book is intended both for practitioners of development and as an introductory text for social science students, particularly those in developing countries. It traces the way perceptions of women in development have been affected by development thinking over the last three decades and argues the need for a gender perspective in development planning, in order to support and enhance women's participation and empowerment. Initially women were largely seen as recipients of welfare and as mothers, but were otherwise invisible. Increasingly their productive contribution has been recognized. Separate chapters analyze their contribution in agriculture, industry and the informal sector. The problems involved in gathering gender-sensitive data are examined in relation to women's economic activity and the household, and the balance of power between the sexes. Finally, the argument is made that sustainable change in women's material conditions will never come about without women's collective empowerment so that the underlying structures which produce imbalance between the genders are dismantled.

The private and social returns are high on investements to improve women's economic productivity-particularly education.

BL Distinguished editors and contributors BL Addresses questions of some urgency for the question of women's quality of life BL Inter-disciplinary, ranging over philosophy, economics, political science, anthropology, law and sociology BL Combines theory with case-studies BL Accessible to non-specialist reader BL Sequel to The Quality of Life, edited by Martha Nussbaum and Amartya Sen, applying the 'capabilities' approach outlined in that volume BL Topical - challenges 'politically correct' relativist approaches and discusses the validity of charges of 'cultural imperialism' levelled at Western aid and intervention policies. Women, a majority of the world's population, receive only a small proportion of its opportunities and benefits. According to the 1993 UN Human Development Report, there is no country in the world in which women's quality of life is equal to that of men. This examination of women's quality of life thus addresses questions which have a particular urgency. It aims to describe the basic situation of all women and so develops a universal account that can answer the charges of 'Western imperialism' frequently made against such accounts. The contributors confront the issue of cultural relativism, criticizing the relativist approach which, in its desire to respect different cultural traditions, can result in indifference to injustice. An account of gender justice and women's equality is then proposed in various areas in which quality of life is measured. These issues are related throughout to the specific contexts of India, Bangladesh, China, Mexico, and Nigeria through a series of case studies. Disciplines represented include philosophy, economics, political science, anthropology, law, and sociology. Like its predecessor, The Quality of Life, this volume encourages the reader to think critically about the central fundamental concepts used in development economics and suggests major criticisms of current economic approaches from that fundamental viewpoint.
