Feminization: Women
built 657 days ago
In many parts of the world today there is an increasing trend towards what has been termed the 'feminization of agriculture'. As men's participation in agriculture declines, the role of women in agricultural production becomes ever more dominant. War, sickness and death from HIV/AIDS have reduced rural male populations. Another major cause of this phenomenon is the migration of men from rural areas to towns and cities, in their own countries or abroad, in search of paid employment.

The authors show convincingly that the feminization of poverty, although most advanced in America, is an international trend. By examining the same set of factors in seven countries, they unravel the reasons why. Their special contribution is the integration of developments in each country's labor market with gender, social policy, and inequality. Lucid, careful, and systematic, the book builds a compelling explanation for the needless impoverishment experienced by millions of American women and offers a sensible, realistic agenda for its reduction.

The exception to the de-feminization trend ... offer some support for England's argument about wage effects. If changes in women's earnings (relative to men's) are largely responsible for the reversal in the sex poverty ratio, we would not expect to observe a reversal among the age groups who are less likely to be working, namely among retired persons. From 1970 to 1996, the sex-poverty ratio did not decline for women over 65 years. Since elderly women are less likely to be employed, and quite likely to be living without men, they did not benefit from the improvements in employment and earnings that accrued to women in the 1970s and 1980s.

A second big area which can lead to the feminization of the Church is theology. A paradigm shift in theology is called for. At present most theology taught in seminaries and in lay theology courses tends to be androcentric or patriarchal in its assumptions. Most importantly, although women are allowed to study the Bible and theology, they are generally not appointed to teaching positions in theology in catholic seminaries.

According to Douglas, both middle-class white women and the clergy were responsible for the feminization of American culture during the Victorian period. The two groups joined forces as they realized that their traditional roles were becoming obsolete in the face of household and religious innovations. Feminization was conceived as a reactionary tactic, a way to keep women and clergymen relevant to society through the pulpit and the pen.
