Although increasingly responsible for the family's economic welfare, women tend to be denied access to new technology and credit, relegating them to low productivity levels, low status, and poor paying jobs. This paper analyzes constraints on women's access to technology and credit and offers recommendations for improving their position. The co-existence of the traditional/subsistence sector of food production and domestic care, primarily undertaken by women, with a large scale modern sector is a major constraint to women's access to technology. Men's involvement in the cash economy and the exclusion of women contributes to increased female-headed households and lowered women's status. A second constraint is women's lack of economic leverage through capital, land, or credit, to effectively demand new technology. A third constraint is the targeting of men as the producers of cash crops in rural technology transfer programs, while designing for women family welfare or economically marginal programs which emphasize their role as mothers rather than as producers. The fourth constraint is the lack of recognition given to women in national technology acquisition policies. Thirty-three

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
