It recognizes women's triple role, and seeks to meet strategic gender needs indirectly through bottom-up mobilization around practical gender needs...

The Anti-Poverty Approach. Anti-poverty is the second WID [Women in Development] approach, the "tone down" version of equity, introduced from the 1970s onwards. Its purpose is to ensure that poor women increase their productivity. Women's poverty is seen as the problem of underdevelopment, not of subordination. It recognizes the productive role of women, and seeks to meet practical gender needs to earn an income, particularly through small-scale income-generating projects. It is most popular with NGOs [non-governmental organizations]. 2, record 8, English, - anti%2Dpoverty%20approach

The Equity Approach. Equity is the original "WID" [women in development] approach, introduced within the 1976-85 UN [United Nations] Women's Decade. Its purpose is to gain equity for women in the development process. Women are seen as active participants in development. It recognizes women's triple role and seeks to meet strategic gender needs through direct state intervention, giving political and economic autonomy to women, and reducing inequality with men. It challenges women's subordinate position, has been criticized as Western feminism, is considered threatening and is unpopular with governments. 2, record 11, English, - equity%20approach

The Welfare Approach. Introduced in the 1950s and 1960s, welfare is the earliest policy approach concerned with developing countries. Its purpose is to bring women into development as better mothers. Women are seen as passive beneficiaries of development. The reproductive role of women is recognized and policy seeks to meet practical gender needs through that role by top-down handouts of food aid, measures against malnutrition and family planning. It is non-challenging and therefore still widely popular. 2, record 14, English, - welfare%20approach

The key to an effective program of research that would apply a gender analysis to important economic issues over a longer period of time will be to take a fresh look at issues that have long been a concern for women, such as unpaid work, poverty, and inequality in the paid work force, and women's economic autonomy, while at the same time encouraging a thoughtful analysis of emerging trends such as globalization, population aging, and reductions in the role of government. 1, record 15, English, - emerging%20trend

The Women's Secretariat of the Government of Alberta coordinates the province's Stepping Stones Program, which provides occupational role models to girls and boys in junior and senior high school. Through classroom presentations, students meet and interact with women who are successfully pursuing occupations considered non-traditional for their gender. Students learn about the changing workplace, and young women, in particular, see that career choice need not be limited by gender. They are encouraged to explore all occupational options, and to choose a career based on their interests, abilities and aptitudes. 1, record 17, English, - Stepping%20Stones%20Program
