The Gendered Nature of Natural Disasters: The Impact of Catastrophic Events on the Gender Gap in Life Expectancy, 1981–2002 (2007, background): “Although some have questioned the full extent to which existing evidence backs up the claim of a strong gender bias in poverty (Chant 2006), there is general agreement that poor people on average are more likely to be female.”
From Structural Adjustment to Social Adjustment (2008, background): “At the same time a ‘feminisation of responsibility and obligation’ has been documented where women are assuming greater liability for dealing with poverty and have progressively less choice other than to do so (Chant, 2006).”
Women, gender and the informal economy:An assessment of ILO research and suggested ways forward (2008, unknown): “…Pacheco, 2003b; Silveira and Matosas, 2003), due to both vertical and horizontal segregation in employment and continuing gendered inequalities associated with women's unpaid reproductive work (Lund and Srinivas, 2000; see also Boulde, 2006; Chant, 2006, 2007a, c; Gates, 2002; Perrons, 2005).”
Young rural women’s participation in the e-wallet programme and usage intensity of modern agricultural inputs in Nigeria (2018, background): “This study is mindful of Chant (2006, 2008), who argues that the ‘feminization of poverty’ is often referred to without adequate specification or substantiation, and does not necessarily highlight aspects of poverty that are most relevant to women at the grassroots.”
The Political Economy of “Transnational Business Feminism” (2015, background): “This term is meant to refer to the “ways in which development operates through women-oriented policies that in turn serve to maintain traditional gender roles of social reproduction and create a third shift of voluntary, unpaid labour for women” (Roy 2010, 70; see also Chant 2006).”
