Summary
In 1999, Amartya Sen wrote, “ . . . women are increasingly seen, by men as well as women, as active agents of change: the dynamic promoters of social transformations that can alter the lives of both women and men”. Does gender inequality have economic and social effects on women and the community as a whole (Klasen 2002; Kabeer and Natali 2013). Gender inequalities, i.e., the result of social organisation and cultural tradition, take the form of fewer opportunities for women to access and use tangible and intangible resources than men, which limits women’s chances of gaining more power both in production and consumption of wealth.
