Gender, Time Use, And Poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa

Klappentext This title examines the links between gender, time use, and poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa. It contributes to a broader definition of poverty to include "time poverty," and to a broader definition of work to include household work. The papers present a conceptual framework linking both market and household work, review some of the available literature and surveys on time use in Africa, and use tools and approaches drawn from analysis of consumption-based poverty to develop the concept of a time poverty line and to examine linkages between time poverty, consumption poverty and other dimensions of development in Africa such as education and child labor. Provides information on a critical dimension of poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa - time poverty. This book examines the links between gender, time use, and poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa, and develops the concept of time poverty to inform poverty analysis and poverty reduction strategies in the region.
