regarding the eradication of poverty outlined in the Programme of Action of the
World Summit for Social Development 53/ and in the Platform for Action

eradication of poverty, including, inter alia, measures to:
(a) Develop and implement education, training and retraining policies for
women and girls;
(b) Undertake legislative and administrative reforms to give women full
and equal access to economic resources, including the right to inheritance and
to ownership of land and other property, credit, natural resources and
appropriate technologies;

(d) Develop national strategies for promoting employment and selfemployment, including entrepreneurial and organizational skills, in order to
generate income for women;

social protection during unemployment, ill health, maternity, child-bearing,
widowhood, disability and old age and that women, men and society share
responsibilities for child and other dependant care;
(f) Restructure and target the allocation of public expenditures to
promote women’s economic opportunities and equal access to productive resources
and to address the basic social, educational and health needs of women,
including access to safe water, particularly of those living in poverty;
(g) Develop gender-based methodologies and conduct research for use in
designing more effective policies to recognize and value the full contribution
of women to the economy through both their unremunerated and renumerated work
and to address the feminization of poverty, in particular the relationship
between unremunerated work and women’s vulnerability to poverty;
(h) Develop gender-based methodologies and conduct research to address the
contribution of women to the economy, the feminization of poverty, and the
economic and social impact of debt and structural adjustment programmes in all
developing countries, particularly in Africa and the least developed countries;
(i) Analyse, from a gender perspective, macroeconomic and microeconomic
policies, and the allocation of public expenditures, which should be designed
and implemented with the full and equal participation of women so as to avoid
negative impacts on women living in poverty;
