| Summary, etc |
Based on a study from a village in Maharashtra where impressive gains in economic development have occurred in recent decades, this book examines the impact of son preference on fertility and rural women's economic empowerment and other aspects of reproductive behavior. It provides evidence of the added value of their employment beyond the traditional wage labor and domestic spheres, and argues that policies aimed at closing gender gaps in social inequalities must be complemented by policies fostering employment opportunities for women. This work goes even further than economic arguments by demonstrating, on the basis of a robust statistical analysis, that women's education and their professional labor force participation contribute to better health and wellbeing of rural society, including through reductions in fertility, son preference, and infant and child mortality. |
