Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: The focus is on the social discrimination trap, which highlights the ways in which men and women’s, girls and boys’ experiences of poverty differ in important ways. It is also discussed how understanding the gender dimensions of chronic poverty is important not only for tackling the greater levels of deprivation and vulnerability that girls and women routinely face in many country contexts, but also for tackling poverty more broadly. [Policy Brief No. 12].
