DESCRIPTION
This book analyzes the concepts that have transformed the woman question into the current notion of gender mainstreaming for example take the question of redefinition of economic activity – large area of women’s work- considered "non-economic" in traditional definitions. Another concept can be illustrated by the tools and techniques devised to measure and quantify women's economic contribution to gross domestic product (GDP) and the system of national accounts (SNA). What difference does it make if an economy accounts for all women's work, paid and unpaid, inside and outside the house? The answer given by several surveys and reports show that its relevance lies in a very simple conclusion: women are poorer than men anywhere, everywhere. No matter which process of the development paradigm is analyzed, its hidden economic reality touches the profile of women.
