Gender inequality assumptions and interrelationships.

This part of the syllabus asks you to examine the issue of Gender Inequality.

You could look at assumptions as myths or factoids.

Here are some that you can challenge.

1. Women need special help to be productive members of society in an equal footing with men.
2.  Educate women, and fertility rates will automatically drop.

3. Development helps women, rather than women help development.

4. Women in the Muslim world socialized to expect second-class status.

5. Gender issues are confined to LEDC's.

6. Women in the Muslim world place gender inequality among their societies' biggest problems?
7. Migration can help reduce poverty and its is mainly men that migrate. 
8. It is better to focus on men when trying to develop ICT in LEDCs.

Use this Presentation and respond to the above assumptions.  You should also try to explain how the gender inequality issues are linked with each other.  Simply improving one factor is not enough.
