The last decade has been marked by a contrast between rising awareness of the importance of women’s contribution to the economy and continued deterioration of the world economy. Encouraged by the UN Decade for Women, many governments have set up Women’s Bureaux, or Departments for Women’s Affairs. Women’s groups across the world have campaigned for proper recognition of women’s work both as producers of goods and services, and as reproducers of human resources; and for access to the resources women require to improve the productivity of their efforts. There have been some successes in opening up new activities to women through special training programmes; and in enhancing women’s income earning opportunities through projects with women’s components, or specifically directed to women. Much of the energy of Women’s Bureaux in developing countries has been directed towards women’s projects, often in partnership with aid agency officials who have special responsibility for women and development. In market economy developed countries, much of the emphasis has been on introducing new equal opportunities legislation and enabling women to fight their cases through the courts.
