The interlinkages between gender and poverty have, until recently, escaped careful analytical scrutiny. The contributors to this edited volume critically reflect on some of the key methodological and analytical issues that a gendered analysis of poverty needs to address. These foundational issues have serious implications for public action in this area.

"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  Be the first to write a customer review
