- Description
- The first section of this overview explores the dominant analysis taking hold around women’s economic empowerment and highlights critical issues that remain as yet on the margins of debate and action. It seeks to promote a nuanced understanding of the gendered barriers that prevent some women from benefiting from economic opportunities or from being empowered despite access to these opportunities. It goes on to suggest a practical starting point for overcoming some of these barriers: tackling the ‘double burden’ of paid work and care work that is shouldered by so many women. The second section provides an annotated bibliography of resources related to the issues covered in the overview.
