More DescriptionThis volume extends the research programme on women's empowerment originally brought to prominence at the Cairo International Conference on Population and Development in 1994. Contributors spanning a broad geographical scope have been brought together by editors Harriet Presser and Gita Sen, creating a book that refines the definition of the concept of empowerment and how it can be measured. In addition, it examines how useful it has been in the understanding of demographic process, and evaluates the usefulness of the concept for establishing population policies. It will be of interest to readers in both the research and policy communities.
