“…The involvement of women in social actions and health promotion programs ensures the success of these efforts. For the social and economic development, the participation of women stands necessary along with giving them empowerment and an unbiased gender environment (Bennett, 2002;Cherayi & Jose, 2016;Kar, Pascual, & Chickering, 1999). Parasar (2004) examined the link between mother empowerment and child nutrition and immunizations in India.…”

In Sub-Saharan Africa, two out of five children are malnourished and malnutrition causes almost half of the child deaths (45%). Mothers are the primary caretaker of children's health, but unfortunately, most of the mothers, are not empowered in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study examined the role of mother’s empowerment in the reduction of malnutrition (stunting, wasting, and underweight) among children under five years of age in twenty-two Sub-Saharan African countries. Cross-sectional data from the most recent Demographic Health Survey (2011-2016) of twenty-two countries are used to analyze the relationship between mother's empowerment and child malnutrition through the binary logistic regression analysis. Results show that the countries with low empowerment, the prevalence of malnutrition is high. Mother empowerment is found to be a statistically significant predictor in reducing malnutrition. Mother’s education, body mass index, and age at first birth proved to be a strong predictor for reducing malnutrition. Household wealth index and household locality also have a statistically significant impact on the reduction of malnutrition. At the household level, malnutrition of children can be minimized by empowering boosting their self-esteem, self-confidence, economic resources, social resources, awareness and decision making.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: (1) mendeskripsikan karaktersitik industri kreatif di Sumatera Barat, dan (2) menganalis faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi serapan tenaga kerja wanita dalam pengembangan industri kreatif di Sumatera Barat. Kemampuan serapan tenaga kerja wanita (promoting gender balance) dihubungkan dengan karakteristik kewirausahaan, karakteristik usaha dan karakteristik wilayah. Penelitian ini menggunakan data survei industri mikro kecil (SIMK) 2014. Metode pengujian hipotesis dalam penelitian ini menggunakan analisis deskriptif dan analisis regresi linear berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa karakteristik pengusaha (gender dan partnership), karakteristik usaha (asset dan sub sektor) serta karakteristik wilayah (GDP/capita) memiliki pengaruh dan signifikan secara statistik terhadap serapan tenaga kerja wanita pada industi kreatif di Sumatera Barat. Pemerintah sebaiknya melakukan upaya pemberdayaan tenaga kerja wanita melalui penguatan aspek usaha, kewirausahaan dan kewilayahan khususnya untuk mewujudkan pembangunan industri kreatif secara inklusif.

“…Our paper contends, however, that the gains enabled by the Alliance's psychosocial approach to empowerment training, with its focus on recruiting women as ICS retailers, come at the risk of losing sight of another critical dimension of empowerment -the economic dimension -that is consistent with its overall objective of increasing women's influence in the ICS value chain. The rhetoric of empowerment in all its forms (social, political, economic, psychological, relational, and so on) fits especially well with gender equality objectives, as it presupposes a capacity to overcome the deficits that women start out with in the marketplace and other societal arrangements (Kabeer 1999;Arestoff and Djemai 2016;Cherayi and Jose 2016). Notwithstanding the visions of radical transformation it conjures, however, empowerment is often difficult to realize and measure in practice, and -as we will show in the case of the Alliance -gains made in one sphere or setting can be offset by losses or setbacks in another (Ganle, Afriyie, and Segbefia 2015;Lenao and Basupi 2016).…”

“We Learnt that Being Together Would Give us a Voice”: Gender Perspectives on the East African Improved-Cookstove Value Chain

et al. 2019

Improved cookstoves (ICS) have been promoted for several decades, with little success. Advocates looking to drive uptake encourage greater involvement of women in ICS enterprises, on the largely unproven premise that women's participation in the value chain will enhance their financial bottom line while giving a boost to ICS sales. This paper tests the validity of that premise, using qualitative evidence from East Africa. The analysis shows gender-differentiated outcomes for enterprises across the value chain. Women-led enterprises are significantly underrepresented at higher levels of the chain, where sales volumes are highest. Value-chain positioning also influences access to key inputs like finance, potentially reinforcing the gender divide in enterprise performance. The findings challenge the dominant narrative in the ICS field about the inevitability of the link between market participation and economic empowerment for women and indicate a need to look beyond conventional market models to enhance financial outcomes for women.
