Women’s purportedly disproportionate and rising share of poverty - as encapsulated in the widely popularised term the ‘feminisation of poverty’ – has conferred unprecedented prominence upon gender in poverty analysis and policy. However, the ‘feminisation of poverty’ is often used in a cursory and unsubstantiated manner and, in its implicit privileging of income, does not necessarily highlight aspects of poverty which are most relevant to poor women at the grassroots. Although the UNDP’s gender indices go some way to reflecting broader aspects of gendered poverty, particularly in respect of capabilities and opportunities, there is scope for improvement. In the interests of working towards gender indices which are more responsive to crucial gender gaps in poverty (understood not only as income deficiency, but in a more multidimensional fashion, and which give weight to the onus of dealing with poverty), the main aims of this paper are three-fold. The first is to draw attention to existing conceptual and methodological weaknesses with the ‘feminisation of poverty’. The second is to offer some thoughts on how the ‘feminisation of poverty’ could be re-cast to more effectively capture trends in gendered privation among the poor. The third is to propose directions for the kinds of data and indicators which might be incorporated within the GDI or GEM, or used in the creation of a Gendered Poverty Index (GPI).

10. 1.3 Literature Review
The idea of a „feminization of poverty‟ dates back
to the 1970s but was popularized from the
1990s on by some United Nations documents.
The concept became renowned as a result of a
study by Diane Pearce, which focused on the
gender patterns in the evolution of poverty
rates in the United States between the
beginning of the 1950s and the mid-1970s. It
was initially used to mean “an increase of
women among the poor” and “an increase of
female headed households among the poor

26. Feminization: Feminization is the shift in
gender roles
and sex roles in a
society, group, or organization towards a
focus upon the famine. This is the opposite of
a cultural focus upon masculinity.
Poverty: Poverty is the state of being
without, often associated with need, hardship
and lack of resources across a wide range of
circumstances.
