Definition. Measurement. Methods

I am thinking about adding a definition to "women's empowerment" since it doesn't have one yet. I will also attempt to add to the measurement section regarding critiques and elaborating the GMI. I will also be adding to the methods section soon. I think some reorganizing might be due. let me know.

Rbuell (talk) 08:13, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! I restructured the contents, so let me know what you think about the new organization. I also included a new section: ongoing projects, so any feedback would be appreciated! I don't think I'll do anything to the measurement section, but I'll definitely keep my eye out for what's going on! I have reworded the "Role of Education" section, but feel free to make your own changes to it as well. Let's keep each other company! Jenny1004jeon (talk) 05:36, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article requires a lot of work. I just removed an unsourced statement: «without women's empowerment, women wouldn't feel equally important to the process of development as men». Men writing about what women supposedly feel is hardly helpful. Nemo 05:40, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of work needed

There is a lot of work needed on this article, to turn it into an encyclopaedic format rather than the personal essay it currently reads as. It is currently not within Wikipedia's guidelines of neutrality and a lot of the article seems only vaguely related to Women's Empowerment specifically, and is more about societal sexism in general. I do not have time to rewrite the whole article but if anyone keen does, it would definitely be worth doing!

Hi, Cardamom tea. I've started working on the tonal issues on the page. Gender Roamer (talk) 23:45, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Gender Roamer! Much appreciated. 81.106.30.110 (talk) 16:03, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You're Cardamom tea? You're welcome. Now I have more rephrasing to do. Gender Roamer (talk) 23:48, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

All right. I gave the page thorough editing. As of this post, it looks like this. I also removed the essay warning, but the tone still sounds a bit like being preached to. Maybe that's just part of the tone that comes with the subject. So if someone wants to add that tag again, I'll accept it, but I don't know how to completely fix that side to the topic. I think, though, that my editing of the page improved it a lot. Gender Roamer (talk) 02:53, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edits from a class (?) coming? I'll stick with the page to keep tonal issues at bay. Gender Roamer (talk) 21:42, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, a class: Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/UC Berkeley/Global Poverty and Practice (Spring 2021). Gender Roamer (talk) 21:44, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, seems to have lots of edits by a random class... not sure they improve it much... Cardamom tea (talk) 15:10, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How are additional 58 million and 235 million statistics calculated?

Can anyone help? I'm trying to work out how the following statistics are calculated: "If half of small-scale producers benefited from development interventions that focused on empowering women, it would significantly raise the incomes of an additional 58 million people and increase the resilience of an additional 235 million people."

Reading the overview document ^[1] and the full report ^[2] I see a meta-analysis of impacts achieved by 24 projects funded by IFAD (p187, and Appendix 4), which show a 4.56% increase in income and a 19.03% increase in resilience for projects with a women's empowerment focus (i.e. decision-making power over income and/or resources attributed to women only or jointly with men is at least equal to the aggregated mean value (for all projects), which I suspect is a different (looser?) criterion than that used elsewhere to classify only 6% or projects as being focused on women's empowerment). I guess the 4.56% and 19.03% results are applied to statistics about small farms (the report specifically mentions over 80 percent of the estimated 570 million farms worldwide are smallholder farms of less than 2 hectares citing ^[3]). It is also assumed that half of such smallholders are reached by gender mainstreaming interventions and the other half are reached by interventions treating gender as fundamental. But from here I don't see how to calculate the additional 58 million people for increased income and 235 million people for resilience.

I've re-produced the table produced by the meta-analysis (with additional comments describing the indicators) of the the different impacts of projects without a women's empowerment focus compared to a women's empowerment focus. I'm not sure if it would be helpful to add it to the article:

	No women’s empowerment focus projects		Women-empowering focus project
Indicator	Projected number of people	Percentage of total beneficiaries	Projected number of people	Percentage of total beneficiaries	Difference in projection between projects with women’s empowerment focus and others	Predicted increase in percentage points of people that achieved results beyond threshold
FIES (Food Insecurity Experience Scale): At least 10 percent more food secure	53,133,009	47.49	59,239,076	52.95	6,106,067	5.46
HDDS (household dietary diversity): At least 10 percent with improved nutrition (diversified diet)	976,061	0.87	11,375,355	10.17	10,399,294	9.30
Income: At least 10 percent increase in income	68,774,573	61.48	73,880,395	66.04	5,105,822	4.56
Market access: At least 20 percent improved market access	65,039,137	58.14	60,476,286	54.06	-4,562,851	-4.08
Productive capacity: At least 20 percent increase in production	63,061,939	56.37	56,564,368	50.56	-6,497,571	-5.81
Recovery from shocks: At least 20 percent improved resilience	33,371,174	29.83	54,661,170	48.86	21,289,996	19.03
