Women's economic empowerment and inclusive growth: labour markets and enterprise development

Publisher: International Development Research Centre (IDRC)
Author: Naila Kabeer
Type: Report
Date: 2012

The paper suggests a research agenda that focus on constraints and choices that determine gendered patterns of labor market outcomes, both in terms of labor force participation as well as the segmented nature of the occupational structure. How do labour markets play out in different contexts and what the precise barriers and blockages to women’s mobility to better jobs or transition to higher value added enterprises? What changes are likely to ease the constraints on women’s labor market options? And what forms of collective action around gender issues can drive positive change, at transnational, national and local levels?
