Abstract

Seventy per cent of the world population consists of rural communities, subsisting on agriculture, forestry, fisheries and livestock for their livelihoods. The poorest within these communities are often women and young girls—the very ones who hold the socioeconomic fabric of rural communities together. How can the deepening poverty of rural communities be addressed? Can rural employment help to lift women out of poverty? What keeps rural women tied to positions of economic disadvantage? What impact are the changing patterns of rural employment in a rapidly globalizing world having on the lives of women and men? How can policy help poverty alleviation and equitable growth?
