Structural Drivers of the Feminization of Poverty

The phenomenon of the feminization of poverty: gender inequality in the global economy describes a landscape where women bear a disproportionate burden of global deprivation. This disparity is not incidental; it roots itself in the structural architecture of the global economy. Central to this issue is the "double burden" of unpaid care work. Globally, women perform the vast majority of domestic labor, which functions as an invisible subsidy to the formal economy. This labor significantly reduces their capacity for paid employment, often relegating them to precarious, low-wage roles in the informal sector. Consequently, the gender pay gap remains a persistent feature of modern economics, as women’s career trajectories are frequently interrupted by caregiving responsibilities. This systemic exclusion limits female autonomy and stunts macro-economic growth.
