{{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Women make up 40
percent of the world's work force in agriculture, a quarter in industry, and a
third in services. {{/U}}Women farmers in the developing countries grow at least
50 percent of the world’s food, as much as 80 percent in some African
countries. {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}In
addition to income and generating activities ( in cash and kind), women’s
household activities include caring for the sick, house maintenance, and such
vital work as caring for children, preparing food, and fetching firewood and
water.{{/U}} Yet women's productivity remains low. both in income-generating work

the World Bank's overall strategy for poverty reduction that calls for broadly
based, labour-absorbing economic growth and improved human resource
development. {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}If
long-change in the conditions of women is to be achieved, the actions and
attitudes of men must change, and it is important that men be brought along in
the process of change.{{/U}} For example, family planning information campaigns
should be aimed at men as well as women because it is when men and women are
able to make joint informed decisions on family size, child spacing, and
appropriate methods of contraception, that these programs are most
successful. Likewise, problems affecting women are often
close-related to the social relationships between men and women.
{{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}For example, many women’s
health problems are embedded in unequal gender relation in work loads,
responsibilities for family welfare, and access to resources and
decision-making. It is impossible to deal effectively with women's health
problems through approaches that deal only with women.{{/U}}
