Esej o The Feminization of Poverty: Gender Inequality in the Global Economy

Structural Disparities in the Global Wealth Gap

The term "the feminization of poverty: gender inequality in the global economy" describes a persistent phenomenon where women represent a disproportionate percentage of the world’s poor. This trend is not merely a byproduct of individual misfortune but a structural consequence of patriarchal economic frameworks that have historically marginalized female labor. While global poverty levels have fluctuated due to industrialization and aid, the gendered gap in wealth remains remarkably resilient. This disparity arises from a confluence of systemic factors, including labor market discrimination, the undervalued nature of reproductive labor, and legal restrictions on asset ownership. Understanding these dynamics is essential for addressing the broader crisis of global inequality.
