Abstract

Women remain disadvantaged by underdevelopment in the health sector, by the unequal distribution of unpaid care work, and by disparities in educational attainment and economic opportunities. As roughly 40% of workers in agriculture, which accounts for 35.8% of Ethiopia’s GDP, over half of all women receive no payment, and those who are paid earn less than men. The mapping process found that action research with policy makers can play a crucial role by emphasizing increased poverty related to unpaid care work, job market segregation, the lack of adequate social protection and child care, gender-based violence, and gender discrimination as social norms.
