Abstract
This study examined the gendered dimensions of poverty in South Africa and their implications for poverty reduction interventions in South Africa. The study identifies and analyses national approaches to understanding and addressing poverty and their integration of gender. It also identifies and analyses approaches to understanding and addressing poverty and their integration of gender in three countries: Chile, Brazil and India. From these understandings, the study develops recommendations for developing integrated approaches to understanding poverty and its links to gender inequality and for developing and implementing ameliorative strategies. The research questions, in particular included: * What are the gendered dimensions of poverty and their implications for poverty reduction interventions in South Africa? * What poverty reduction policy and interventions exist to change the material realities of women and men's lives in South Africa? * How have other (selected) countries understood and addressed poverty, and how do their strategies aim to change the gendered lives of women and men?-
