At the end of the twentieth century, after four world conferences on women, debates on the impact of economic development on the lives and status of women including their lifeoptions and opportunities for betterment continue unresolved. Is patriarchy on the decline, or is it merely its form that is changing? What effect does development have on gender relations, and how do patriarchal structures affect the development process?The chapters in this book were written for a UNU/WIDER research conference convened to explore two parallel phenomena: the changing position of women and gender relations and the relevance of the concept of patriarchy, and the impact of developmentand especially industrialization and wage workon women and gender. They address questions through theoretical, historical, and empirical approaches, and provide critical analysis and macro and microlevel data for Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, subSaharan Africa, the Indian subcontinent, the Nordic region, and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Following an introduction and overview (Part 1), the book is divided into two main parts. Part II offers historical and theoretical perspectives on the evolution of women's positions in the course of development, with contributions by Sylvia Walby, John Lie, Elizabeth Dore, Sheila Carapico, Leela Kasturi, and Jane Parpart. Part III focuses on industrialization, state policies, and women workers, with contributions by Ruth Pearson, Helen Safa, Rita Gallin, Valentine Moghadam, Guy Standing, and Tuovi Alln. The book ends with an appendix of statistical tables providing descriptive data on women in the countries under consideration and others.The contributors are wellknown academics and researchers who utilize the methods of economics, sociology, history, and feminist analysis in their case studies of economic development and women's positions.
