Document Summary
How does the development in cameroon compare to that of the central. Problems with gdp approach life quality for any particular group of people: gross domestic product divided by number of people. On a global level, women suffer more in terms of: nutrition and health, personal safety, literacy and education, discrimination in public life. Women work more, receive less, have fewer opportunities. That women are less advantaged than men, is one of the most robust generalizations across all societies at all times: 1999 human development report: there is no country that treats its women as well as its men. Standard measures of development do not reflect these facts about gender inequality: even household studies fail to bring out difference in life quality between women and men (nutrition, vulnerability to domestic abuse, etc. ) Everywhere, women trail behind national averages on virtually all relevant life quality indexes: even in canada: significant wage gap, career opportunity gaps, etc.
