Womens' Roles and Population Trends in the Third World

<p>First published in 1982 this collection was the result of an ambitious and wide-ranging inter-disciplinary research programme conducted by the International Labour Office (ILO) on the relationship between women’s roles and demographic change with a view to influencing contemporary government and non-government policy and future research in the field. The ILO held an informal gathering of leading researchers in the fields of economics anthropology sociology and demography and this volume represents a unique and practically-orientated collection offering valuable insights into contemporary perspectives on women’s studies and population dynamics. </p>
