Cette revue de littérature présente les enjeux autour des inégalités de genre et de l'autonomisation des filles et des femmes dans les pays en développement en termes d'emploi, à travers une étude des publications de l'Agence Française de Développement (AFD). Entre discriminations légales, ségrégation professionnelle, division genrée du travail et les « doubles journées », l'accès des femmes au marché du travail et à l'emploi décent dans les pays en développement peut conduire à une (re)production des inégalités de genre. Favoriser une distribution plus égalitaire des rôles dans la société et la déconstruction des stéréotypes de genre sont des pas en avant fondamentaux pour enrayer ce processus, qui va de pair avec une éducation égale pour les filles et les garçons, un accès à l'emploi décent et rémunéré, une participation politique des femmes, et des changements juridiques et légaux appropriés par la société. Adopter une approche holistique dans l'analyse, la programmation, la mise en œuvre et le monitoring de l'égalité de genre semble alors indispensable.

This book contains an Open Access Chapter In 1995, the Fourth World Conference on Women: Action for Equality, Development and Peace affirmed the need to address gender inequalities and foster gender integration. Ever since, the field of gender professionals has been growing, yet the experiences, insights and data gathered have not been systematically examined and incorporated into an accessible body of knowledge. Working to address this, expert contributors demonstrate the depth and breadth of gender and practice. Including examples from Brazil, Cameroon, Ecuador, Nigeria, Sao Tome and Principe, the USA, and Vietnam, as well as chapters that take a global perspective, the research here looks at issues and activities relating to infusing gender in knowledge management, training, and practice. Including subjects such as education, agricultural production, and tourism, this volume offers a variety of perspectives that will appeal to any researcher in gender. Throughout the volume, expert practitioners situate their real-world experiences in the broader intersectional framework employed by their academic colleagues, offering policy makers, students, scholars, practitioners, and activists concrete examples of how and why gender is central to development.

Why do Japanese women enjoy a high sense of well-being in a context of high inequality? Beyond the Gender Gap in Japan brings together researchers from across the social sciences to investigate this question. The authors analyze women's values and the lived experiences at home, in the family, at work, in their leisure time, as volunteers, and in politics and policy-making. Their research shows that the state and firms have blurred "the public" and "the private" in postwar Japan, constraining individuals' lives, and reveals the uneven pace of change in women's representation in politics. Yet, despite these constraints, the increasing diversification in how people live and how they manage their lives demonstrates that some people are crafting a variety of individual solutions to structural problems. Covering a significant breadth of material, the book presents comprehensive findings that use a variety of research methods-public opinion surveys, in-depth interviews, a life history, and participant observation-and, in doing so, look beyond Japan's perennially low rankings in gender equality indices to demonstrate the diversity underneath, questioning some of the stereotypical assumptions about women in Japan.
