Response Paper: Different Time Periods, Different Locations But the Same Problem: Response to Anastasia Kiourtzoglou

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Drawing on studies of Ghana’s informal economy, this piece illustrates the similarities in women’s invisibility across time and space. In Ghana, the majority of women work in the informal economy. Although there are more women involved in trade than men, men tend to be found in the more lucrative segments of trade. Even when they work in the same segment as women, men engage in what is known as re-gendering so as to set themselves apart from their female colleagues. The piece concludes by calling on activists to push for the passage and implementation of laws that secure gender equality.
