Abstract: |
The study concluded that most of the
studies of the impact of adjustment on women have
treated the gender issues as a derivative or secondary
subject in the analysis of adjustment. However this
study concluded that economic liberalization policies
without due consideration of gender issues can lead to a
chain of events with prolonged economic retrogression.
Thus affirmative action policies for greater education
of women and their greater integration into the
workforce should be taken. |
