Review evidence

The often overlooked contributions of women to Third World economies are explored in this brief of three individual papers. Emphasis is placed on the importance of informal economies, in which women play a leading role, and the rise of which is seen as resulting from two factors. The first is anti-development, which occurs when "distributional coalitions" of economically successful individuals or firms work to retain their status by denying others, particularly women, the means through which they became successful. The second factor is the government policies which, influenced to a great extent by these distributional coalitions, retard economic growth; a list of such policies is provided and exemplified by reference to individual countries, including some which deviate from the general rule. Evidence of the growing recognition of informal economies by Third World governments and of the growing success of women in reversing anti-development policies is provided.

Timelineyears: award years, end from document years

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.

Part of Food for Peace (official source)
Began during the Jimmy Carter administration (1977–1981). Based on its first award year, 1979. This places the program in time only; it does not mean that administration started it.
