abstract: 'It is widely recognized that women in developing countries have dual
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
roles as generators of household income and as primary caregivers to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
their children. Many policies directed at reducing poverty or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
malnutrition involve one or the other of these roles. Programs to reduce
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
child malnutrition, for example, typically target mothers as caregivers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, because of the time constraints women face, there are potential
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conflicts between women''s different activities about which policy makers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are rarely informed. Nutrition interventions have not usually considered
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the barriers to participation in such programs facing mothers who,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
either by choice or necessity, have entered the labour force (Leslie,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1988; Engle, 1994). Similarly, policies directed at improving female
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment opportunities typically ignore women''s important role in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
household activities related to children''s healthy development.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this paper we address a potentially important implication of women''s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
multiple roles and the time constraints they face: that female labour
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
force participation, by reducing the time available for household
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
activities related to child development, may glace young children at
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nutritional risk.'
