- Description
- This edition provides an introduction to gender and development issues in the developing world and in the transition countries of Eastern and Central Europe. The book includes discussions on changes in theoretical approaches, gender complexities and the Millennium Development Goals: social and biological reproduction and variation in education and access to housing: differences in health and violence at major life stages for women and men and natural disasters and gender roles in rural and urban areas. The text is particularly strong on environmental aspects and builds on this to consider the effects of climate change and declining natural resources illustrated by a case study of changing gender roles in fishing in India. There is also enhanced coverage of topics such as global trade, sport as a development tool, masculinities, and sustainable agriculture. Maps, statistics, references and boxed case studies have been updated throughout and their coverage widened.

- Description
- This volume brings together the work of leading researchers working on the question of gender equity in international health. In the first section of the book the authors detail how poverty, unequal access to resources, discrimination in work, and violence lead to gender disparities in communicable diseases, occupational health, environmental health, mental health, and reproductive health. The second section reviews implications of key policies such as health sector reform, privitization, and economic liberalization for gender equity in health. Some chapters focus particularly on how gender interacts with other social discriminations, such as economic class and race, to influence health access and status. Other contributions discuss the consequences for research and policy of excluding a gender equity analysis

- Description
- This publication represents one of UNESCAP’s efforts at developing a set of indicators with which to assess the degree of implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action. The set of indicators is also developed on the basis of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as well as the Jakarta Declaration and Plan of Action for the Advancement of Women in Asian and the Pacific. The ever-growing need to develop systems of gender statistics and indicators has underscored the importance in selecting indicators that are appropriate for the intended purpose as well as technically sound. In developing these indicators, the criteria of selection depended on their usefulness to the countries in Asia Pacific region and the current availability of information and official statistics.
