After reviewing theories about how women are likely to fare as a result of economic development, the editors and their contributors focus on the socioeconomic status of women and changes in it as a result of processes of economic development in individual countries in five continents. Economic development is supposed to remove impediments to the improvement in women's status. In some developing countries researchers have found that instead of lessening the forces of restrictions, economic development may, in fact, have strengthened them. The editors call for a greater involvement of women as active participants in the process of dismantling social, legal, and institutional barriers to women's development.
HANS C. BLOMQVIST is Associate Professor of Economics at the Swedish School of Economics and Business Administration in Vasa, Finland. Dr. Blomqvist is the author or editor of numerous journal articles and five books including Economic Development and Women in the World Community (Praeger, 1996). CLEMENT A. TISDELL is Professor of Economics at the University of Queensland, Australia and the author of numerous books and articles on economic, development and environmental subjects.
