Synopsis

Improving the quality and quantity of policy-relevant data on women by training researchers to undertake problem-centred, applied, interdisciplinary research is the theme of this book. Individual chapters discuss such topics as why a women-specific focus is necessary, why it has been difficult to use conventional methods and how household research may contribute to improving the quality of data.

About this title

Review

'Via the individual chapters and editorial interventions, the collection develops a coherent and compelling rationale not only for research on women but for gender-aware and household level research. It offers practical tools and methodological advice in research design, data collection and analysis as well as illustrative examples through the various chapters which reflect both sectoral and interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral research....A valuable tool for teachers and practitioners, and because it goes beyond the question of "why" gender inequality should be contested and addresses the issue of "how" this might continue to be done' - Development and Change
