This project involves the dissertation research of an anthropology student at City University of New York. The project analyzes the development of the alpaca knitwear industry in highland Bolivia, where hand-knitting for export has become an important source of employment for local women. The project will examine how home-based production has provided a based around which women have organized, and how knitting has affected the status of women in the community. The project will examine the impact of development projects working with knitters. The research will advance our understanding of the effects of intensification of artisan production on women's status and workloads. Methods include participant observation, structured interviews with a sample of workers and their households, and analysis of development agencies and wholesalers in the artesian knitting industry. This research is important because many development projects are similar to this, providing income-generating skills and outlets for women in agrarian or developing economies. Understanding the impact of the development on the household lives of women will provide valuable information to development planners.

本项目涉及纽约城市大学人类学学生的论文研究。 该项目分析了玻利维亚高原地区羊驼毛服装业的发展情况，在那里，出口手工编织已成为当地妇女就业的一个重要来源。 该项目将研究家庭生产如何为妇女组织起来提供基础，以及编织如何影响妇女在社区中的地位。 该项目将审查与开发商合作的开发项目的影响。 这项研究将增进我们对手工艺生产密集化对妇女地位和工作量的影响的理解。 方法包括参与观察，结构化访谈的样本工人和他们的家庭，并分析发展机构和批发商在自流编织业。 这项研究很重要，因为许多发展项目与此类似，为农业或发展中经济体的妇女提供创收技能和出路。 了解发展对妇女家庭生活的影响将为发展规划者提供宝贵的信息。
