Gendered Poverty and Well-Being

"The contributors critically reflect on key methodological and analytical issues of a gendered analysis of poverty. The conclusion is that it is impossible to integrate gender into an understanding on poverty unless the reading of evidence and the analysis are grounded on the relational processes of accumulation and impoverishment. These are foundational issues, and have serious implications for public action to reduce/ eradicate the different kinds of poverty that men and women experience." Oxfam, Review of Journals

"It is an extremely rich resource for anyone concerned with issues of gender and poverty. Researchers and practitioners will find in it a wealth of reliable information, clear concepts and robust arguments." Ines Smith, Oxfam GB
