Gender Mainstreaming in Poverty Eradication and the Millennium Development Goals: A Handbook for Policy-Makers and Other Stakeholders (New Gender Mainstreaming in Development Series)

Neglect of gender inequalities in the distribution of resources, responsibilities and power in the processes of economic accumulation and social reproduction has a high cost for women, children and other dependents and for the development of society as a whole.

This book highlights the inter-connections between production and reproduction within different societies; womens critical role in straddling both and points to various synergies, trade-offs and externalities which these generate.

Naila Kabeers book will be of significant use to policy-makers, practitioners, researchers and other stakeholders committed to the pursuit of pro-poor and human-centred development.

Naila Kabeer , a Professorial Fellow at the Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex, is a well-respected academic working in the fields of poverty, economics, gender, and social capital.
