Womens Economic Empowerment in the Indian Ocean Region
This volume brings together influential contemporary research and discussion papers to explore the issue of womens economic empowerment in the Indian Ocean rim. Womens economic empowerment has become a central policy concern of many Indian Ocean rim countries, such as Australia, and of the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA). This book highlights a range of perspectives on the issue by examining a variety of case studies. Its aim is to provide research that helps develop evidence-based policy-making, to assist in the better implementation of gender responsive policy frameworks and budgets. The book covers themes such as: regional governance approaches to fostering womens economic empowerment; the obstacles to informal trade; gender bias in policy development; and differing roles and purposes for womens education. This volume is essential reading for all those interested in policy affecting development; trade; womens education; professional training and training; governance structures and practices; and gender equality in the Indian Ocean region.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of the Indian Ocean Region.
