The need for improvement is a determination that signi es the need to promote the potential

addition to the poor health and, particularly, nutrition of many in the south, plays major roles in

whether a nation will prosper. Furthermore, consideration needs to be given to the fact that
PayPal
when women are deprived of the ability to be productive members of society, there are
Certi ed
limited resources that the state can utilize. When women are not allowed to be productive
members of society, they are not only becoming depressed, but they are also not helping the
economy of their nation move forward. So, on an economic level, it is imperative that women
are given an opportunity to participate in the economy.

Without there being an increased investment in the south for various planning
processes that are designed to stimulate economic growth, human development such as
population planning, poverty reduction, and management of the nations environment and
natural resources, a nation will not ourish. In order to satisfy these needs, women need to be
included in the workforce and they need to be educated. GAD says that this is not possible
without increasing the investment in women and paying close attention to the needs,
concerns and contributions of women in society. There are also various public policies and
investments that should help to promote the development of women in the society and the
economic payo s of having them involved reveals itself in higher economic growth rates,
reduced health and welfare costs, improved productivity, mortality rates, and low maternal
and infant morbidity. When money is dedicated to including women in the economic goals of
a nation, the results are better educated people who are healthier and able to participate in a
literate workforce.

GAD also provides an e ective framework for examining the various development
issues and projects in the south by showing that improved health among women can reduce
the countrys rapid population growth, which is a major issue in the south. This will also help
improve the welfare of the families and children, while reducing the health care costs and
poverty. Education also has a positive impact on society, GAD has revealed. When investment
is made in the education of girls, the return lasts for generations. The girls bene t from there
being an enhanced capacity to earn in the future. There are more opportunities in the labor
market, more control over their personal lives, and far fewer health risks that come with
childbirth and pregnancy. The society also bene ts because the education that the girls
receive will likely slow the population growth. GAD shows that it also improves health and
education for the next generations. When girls are educated, it is a long-term investment
because while the results might not be seen immediately, they are evident in the future.

GAD also shows that when women have greater access to nancial services, they are
contributing more to the reduction of poverty and this can help women to become better able
to contribute to the family welfare and household income. This makes the move out of poverty
much easier for the families in the south. These types of nancial services will help the
intermediaries, because GAD research has shown that women are actually better savers, and
this can lead to the better mobilization of the savings. Also, the more women savers there are,
there will likely be fewer bad debts, which is bene cial for the nancial sector of the nations

economy.

With the south undergoing rapid economic and social changes, there are many
obstacles that are presented in relation to women. However, with the application of GAD,
governments and non-governmental agencies can begin to take a hard look at the changes
that need to be made in societies in order for there to be changes that can really make a

di erence not only in the lives of the women in these countries, but also in the economic
outlook of these nations. The major social issues that are evident in the south can be xed with
the proper application of the research that comes out of GAD. Without including women in the
economy of these nations, each countrys population is being underutilized by approximately
half. Old-fashioned ways of womens traditional roles in society doesnt allow for realized
prosperity of the nation, and particularly the general well-being of those who live in the
country. Women need to be recognized in the south as being important components, because
without that recognition, these nations will continue to su er.
