Description:
This book examines female-headed households (FHHs) in the world economy, aspects of their poverty, and the implications of those for sustainable development. Following a general discussion of FHHs in the world community, the work discusses FHHs in two regions of India, one being an example of unsuccessful development and the other of successful development. Female-headed households dominate the poorer section of communities studied and have limited access to resources. In addition, the benefits of government development programs have not reached remote areas. The trickle-down approach has not worked, but sustainable development programs focusing on women's development have helped to lift the economic status of women.
