Feminization of poverty in developing countries
MARKOVÁ, Veronika
The title of the bachelor thesis is Poverty Feminization in Developing Countries. It is focused on theory and is divided into three parts. The aim of the thesis was to provide complex information about the poverty feminization concerning women all over the world with a significant impact on women in developing countries. The first part of the bachelor thesis deals with the poverty issue and fight with poverty which is enabled by development assistance, direct investments, debt relief or good countries management via their governments. Furthermore, this part is devoted to concepts, causes, consequences, measurement and indexes of poverty. The second part of the bachelor thesis describes specific poverty contexts in developing countries. It excludes developing countries that are also described as third world countries, Global South countries, eventually fourth world countries or lower developed countries. The developing world in spite of urbanization development, during which more and more people migrate from villages to cities, copes with different problems of urban and rural poverty. The fundamental problem for people living in developing countries and especially for those who belong to the billion of the poorest ones is poverty traps that they often get into. These traps are meant to be armed conflicts, natural resources, lack of access to the sea and bad government of small countries. Developing countries must deal with the debt issues, when the main creditor becomes the International Monetary Fund that assembles a repayment schedule but its main concern is its interests. These countries are under an obligation to preferentially repay the provided loans to the International Monetary Fund. The third part of the bachelor thesis is directly focused on poverty feminization in developing countries. From the general point of view, the poverty feminization is a worldwide problem which concerns single women and single mothers. In the developing countries, women are distinctively restricted in education and because of gender stereotypes they cannot execute the same professions as men. This part also describes gender and inequality between men and women which can be shown in restricted access of women to incomes, resources, services or laws. In relation to the inequality, women are threatened by women's laws breaking such as the law to owe a land or property. Secondly, women may be threatened by violence, trafficking in women or movement restriction. The key area in the framework of the poverty feminization is insufficient possibilities of women's education.
