Case Studies
Many developing countries in the world convey dominant prevalence of the feminization of poverty. Countries in East Asia, Africa, and Europe deprive women of access to higher income and important capabilities. Women in these countries are disproportionately put at the highest risk of poverty and continue to face social and cultural barriers that prevent them from alleviating themselves out of poverty.

Famous quotes containing the words case and/or studies:
“In the case of news, we should always wait for the sacrament of confirmation.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)
