Mainstreaming Gender in Social Protection for the Informal Economy
New Gender Mainstreaming Series on Development Issues
Naila Kabeer (2008)
In Mainstreaming Gender in Social Protection for the Informal Economy Naila Kabeer explores the gendered dimensions of risk, vulnerability and insecurity and hence the need for a gender perspective in the design of social protection measures. Her emphasis is on the informal economy because that is where the majority of women, and indeed the poor, are to be found while also being where official efforts for social protection are most limited.
