This book examines ‘gender’ from a purely developmental perspective. It looks at the processes involved in the development of gender, addressing sensitive issues and complex questions. Gender has an important role to play in the development of the society. Thus far, the demographic research on gender issues has been relatively less data intensive compound to other disciplines of economic analysis. Available data suggest that traditional woman’s status indicators, such as education, exploitation, employment, etc. are not enough to capture the nuances of gender power relations and the way in which they govern gender behaviors and empowerment. This book highlights these critical issues measuring and analysing the gender empowerment.
