“…The implementation of clean energy policies through solar photovoltaic projects can effectively reduce the poverty level of economic, social, and human capital [10]. Poverty alleviation should consider household characteristics such as size, migrant status, gender, education level, land access, and livestock ownership [11], [12], [13]. Infrastructure projects sustain local industrialization and absorb labor so that they can contribute to reducing local multidimensional poverty by improving living standards [14].…”

Regional development in the Lebong Regency faced limited land constraints because 61.8% of the area was designated for forest land use. Using secondary data analysis, this study aimed to describe the poverty profile and identify poverty reduction programs in the Lebong conservation region. This study found that the poverty rate in Lebong was still much lower than that in Bengkulu Province, but still higher than the national poverty rate. People in poverty were generally poorly educated and worked as owners and sharecroppers/farm laborers in the agricultural sector. They had a higher share of food consumption and weak access to adequate water and latrines. Most of them have not been covered by social protection programmes. Poverty reduction programs have been directed at tackling multidimensional poverty, starting from aspects of consumption poverty and other dimensions, such as health, education, and access to basic infrastructure. Poverty reduction focuses on improving quality and competitive human resources, strengthening infrastructure to support economic development and basic services, transforming governance, and accelerating poverty alleviation. This study recommends that poverty reduction programs be conducted in a coordinated manner in an integrated action plan under the Regional Poverty Reduction Coordination Team. This study also supports social forestry schemes for villages around protected forest areas to improve productive land access.

BACKGROUND: Women’s low economic participation in Pakistan and even lower in the formal sector is a perpetual phenomenon leading to their underdevelopment, which has microeconomic and macroeconomic implications. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the nature of women’s work and the intersection of their non-market and market activities at micro, meso, and macro levels which influences women’s chances and choices of decent economic participation. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the interdependence of women’s market and non-market work to explore how gender intersects with their economic autonomy. METHODS: Using qualitative approach, in-depth interviews of 30 purposely selected respondents from the informal sector were thematically analysed. RESULTS: Results indicated that the interdependence of women’s non-market and market work is the outcome of the gendered dichotomy that creates work-life conflict to create women’s economic dependence and male hegemony. Moreover, although a common phenomenon, women from underprivileged backgrounds are more likely to bear the brunt of systemic deprivation leading to economic underdevelopment. CONCLUSIONS: Pakistan’s inherently masculinised society and economy mutually benefit from women’s unpaid and informal work. Facilitated through gender norms, the patriarchal social ideology and the capitalist economic system collaborate to exploit women and their work in both domains.
