Abstract:
|
Studies have shown that Africa over the years has stagnated in poverty and according to UN the region has still gotten worse. To this point, it is therefore worth accepting that approaches used in developing African have left the core issues in development of the same.African economies have continued depending on informal sector and have much of their output and employment figures emanating from the sector. Secondly at the heart of the informal sector are women who have been marginalized in these initiative. The only hope for the emancipation of African is human resource development. This paper therefore adopted Malawi as a case study in human resource development. It presents the critical role women play in the economy and how their contribution has not been recognized. The recommendation is the development of a family enrichment model in human resource development for women in Africa |

Description:
|
The case of African's poverty calls for the realization of where women are: their contribution to the economy, marginalization and deprivation from social and financial service among some. The social economic indicators have given a picture that of good men and bad women; where women are charcterized as the burden of all ills of Africa. However developmental initiatives have continued to sidelined the women who are characterized at the deserving agents. This paper therefore it can be stated that the poverty of the Sub-Saharan African is perverse among women, who are also largely confined in the informal sector economy. This further suggests that the under development of African can be linked to the contribution of women to the economy |
