Gender and Pro-Poor Growth

An imperative teat in recent years has been the gratitude by governments that there is a gender dimension to poverty. Men and women experience poverty differently, become poor through different processes and face unusual vulnerabilities and risks. Women\'s poverty is multifaceted by gender disparities in productive resources, infrastructure and labor markets, all of which engender hurdles to feasible economic participation. Surmounting these barriers is critical for moving women out of poverty and fostering broad-based sustainable growth.
