Assessing poverty alleviation strategies for their impact on poor women: A study with special reference to India
The book Assessing Poverty Alleviation Strategies for Their Impact on Poor Women: A Study with Special Reference to India critically examines how various poverty reduction programs affect women living in poverty, particularly within the Indian socio-economic context. It evaluates government and non-governmental initiatives—such as microcredit schemes, rural employment programs, and social welfare policies—to determine whether they effectively address gender-specific needs and structural inequalities. The study highlights how women often face multiple barriers, including limited access to resources, education, and decision-making, which hinder their economic empowerment despite participation in development programs. Drawing on empirical data and field research, the book underscores the importance of integrating a gender-sensitive approach into poverty alleviation policies to ensure that they not only improve income levels but also enhance women’s autonomy, social status, and overall well-being.
