Download or read book Rural Women at Work written by Ruth B. Dixon-Mueller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2011. This study is Volume I of the Global Environment and Development 7 volume set. One of the most promising areas identified in the initial study was female labor-force participation. If good jobs at decent wages were offered to women, particularly those living in rural areas, would such employment have an effect on family size? Would their jobs compete for the women's time as mothers and housewives, offer them an alternative route to acquiring status and a sense of purpose, and perhaps also provide the women with an independent source of income which would enable them to achieve more control over their lives? But, as the original volume makes clear, the situation is more complicated than it first appears to be.
Download or read book Enhancing Women s Participation in Economic Development written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1994 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This seventeenth edition of the World Development Report focuses on services that are essential for households, business, and governments to function-- transport, telecommunications, water and sanitation, power and gas, and major water works. --Quantity vs. Quality-- Infrastructure is one of the areas in which government policy and finance have an important role to play because of its pervasive impact on economic development and human welfare. World Development Report 1994 presents new strategies for developing infrastructure in more effective, less wasteful ways. The Report shows that the quantity of investment cannot be the exclusive focus of policy. It is also vital that the quality of infrastructure service be improved. Readers are provided with a review of developing countries' experience with infrastructure development and an assessment of its current state. The Report asserts that the time is ripe for change. It considers new ways of meeting public needs for services from infrastructure--ways that are more efficient, more user-responsive, more environmentally friendly, and more resourceful in using both the public and private sectors. --Changing the incentives-- To promote more efficient and responsive delivery of infrastructure services, the Report points to the need to change incentives through the application of three instruments--commercial management, competition, and stakeholder involvement. The Report also identifies trends that will facilitate improvements in the performance of infrastructure. These include innovation in technology and regulatory management, the new willingness of governments to involve the private sector, and increased concern about social and environmental sustainability. Benefits from improved performance would unquestionably be large. Approximately $200 billion is invested in the sector annually in the developing world, and the savings that would accrue from better provision and performance would be substantial.
Download or read book Gender and Governance in Rural Services written by The World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2010-01-27 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Gender and Governance in Rural Services' provides policy-relevant knowledge on strategies to improve agricultural and rural service delivery with a focus on providing more equitable access to these services, especially for women. It focuses India, Ethiopia, and Ghana, and focuses on two public services: agricultural extension, as an example of an agricultural service, and on drinking water, as an example of rural service that is not directly related to agriculture but is of high relevance for rural women. It provides empirical microlevel evidence on how different accountability mechanisms for agricultural advisory services and drinking water provision work in practice, and analyzes factors that influence the suitability of different governance reform strategies that aim at making service provision more gender responsive. It presents major findings from the quantitative and qualitative research conducted under the project in the three countries, which are analyzed in a qualitative way to identify major patterns of accountability routes in agricultural and rural service provision and to assess their gender dimension. The book is intended for use by a wide audience interested in agricultural and rural service provision, including researchers, members of the public administration, policy makers, and staff from nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and international development agencies who are involved in the design and management of reform efforts, projects, and programs dealing with rural service provision.

This book was released on 2019-12-31 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments and development organizations worldwide are considering group-based platforms as alternatives to government- or market-based approaches for service delivery. This paper analyses the correlates of women’s membership in self-help groups (SHGs) using two datasets from India. Older women and those in villages without banks are more likely to join SHGs. Different findings across the two datasets highlight the drawbacks of using program evaluation data for guiding geographic targeting and placement of SHG programs. Our results emphasize the need to understand regional variations in membership and the unique characteristics of women, households, and villages when designing and targeting SHG platforms, particularly when using them for service delivery.
