Tracking Gender Equity Under Economic Reforms: Continuity and Change in South Asia

Ratna M. Sudarshan (Editor) Swapna Mukhopadhyay (Editor)

Synopsis This book supplements the already rich literature on gender by attempting to put in place a consistent framework for gender analysis by demonstrating the importance of identifying the context of such analysis, and by highlighting the necessity of differentiating â€˜genderâ€™ per se from its various â€˜indicatorsâ€™. It seeks to put in place a new agenda of gender research by expanding the existing set of gender indicators to include gender-related stress, anxiety and violence. The viability of this approach is demonstrated through a coordinated set of household surveys â€“ carried out in export processing zones and export processing units â€“ designed for inter-country comparisons between Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
