IFPRI/Aga Khan Foundation Workshop – Women in Agriculture in South Asia
August 12-14, 2008, New Delhi, India
Throughout the South Asian region, women account for about 39 percent of the agricultural workforce, working as managers of land to agricultural laborers. The well-recognized low status of women in South Asia also has implications for women’s involvement in agriculture and the returns to women of their inputs into agriculture.
