P R E F A C E

One of the prime objectives of the Caribbean Documentation Centre is to provide national planners, policy-makers, researchers and their libraries and information centres, with an outreaching information service in those areas of co-operation which member governments of the Caribbean Development and Co-operation Committee (CDCC) have identified as crucial for regional, economic and social development.

As one means towards achieving this objective, the Centre produces periodic select bibliographies. The following bibliography is the seventh in the series, and contains references held by the centre on the subject of Women and Development.

In general, references prior to 1970 are not cited. Abstracts are included where available.

Examines the social structure of the Caribbean, characterized by the usual features of underdevelopment and the measures proposed to alleviate these problems, against which the author examines the role of women in a changing society as partners with men and as workers. Includes a summary of discussion which covers recommendations made. These are that educational training and texts be amended to remove inherent assumptions that women's roles are inferior to those of men; that family life education be incorporated at all levels; that a study be undertaken on the implications of family disruption and instability for the development of Caribbean socities and that a Regional Centre be established for collection and distribution of literature and assistance in the development of relevant programmes.

Demographic foundations of new sex roles. In: Population and Development Review, Vol. 8, No. 3, September 1982. pp. 495-511.

Increased life expectancy and widening sex differentials in morality in modern society are producing changes in the population distribution by age and sex that have wide implications for the relations between men and women. The changes give rise to a surplus of males at young ages and a large surplus of females at old ages. Because men customarily marry women younger than themselves, female surpluses among the older unmarried population are extremely large. Policy measures to reverse the age gap at marriage are implausible. Instead, social responses to the situation take the form of unconscious adaptations in sex roles, including a lessening of the importance of marriage for women and efforts to eliminate any sex-based division of labor.

Drayton, KathleenWomen, power and the social construct of reality. In: Bulletin

of Eastern. Caribbean Affairs, Vol. 9, No. 2, June 1983. pp. 15-24.

This article examines the sexual division of labour and the consequent exercise of political power mainly by men. It is pointed out that the belief that socialism would enable women to share power is not necessarily as simple as that. It is stated that in both capitalist and socialist societies, it is women who perform the major tasks of social reproduction in its braodest sense. Yet it is not recognised.that women already play a major role in the develop­ment of societies, It is also pointed out that feminism, as a conscious politicial movement is bourgeois in origin, hence the trend towards legal, reform as the vehicle for equality. However, working class women in the Caribbean have always struggled, against slavery and more recently through trade unions and political movements. The article concludes that women need structures and organizations in the first place as support groups but they need them as well to organize within and against the structures of male power.

Structures of inequality. In: Assignment Children, No. 49-50, Spring 1980. pp. 95-106.

While women and girls constitute one-half of the world's pop­ulation, ILO studies have shown that they receive only one-tenth of the world's income and own less than one-hundreth of the world's property.

In this paper are discussed some of the major inequalities built into the structures of many Third World countries, which alienate women from economic development strategies and programmes in both rural and urban areas. Some of the false assumptions concerning women's needs are also highlighted.

Attention is called to the importance of ensuring that the New International Economic Order does not bring about a "new" order for men only.

Examines the role of women as responsible citizens with particular reference to participation in politics. Contends that Caribbean women find themselves today catapulted into the arena of international politics even though they have had little opportunity to engage in local and national politics. They however must be prepared to engage in politics at all levels.

Looks at the role of the Caribbean Women's Association (CARIWA) and women's involvement in community and national development. Suggestions arising out of discussions as to the provision of community education, rural programmes, information dissemination, use of the mass media in the development of women are outlined. Recommendations include the provision of career guidance for girls, the designation of Women's Awareness Week, the establish­ment of national commissions to prepare action plans for the involvement of women at all levels and the inclusion of women on national boards.

In this article the writer states that prior to March 13, 1979, the Grenada Government relations with women were characterized by sexual exploitation and exclusion from active participation in political, economic and social developments. It credits the People's Revolutionary Government with reversing.that cycle and catalogues the major gains achieved by women in the past two years.

The commitment of the principle.of sexual equality can be found throughout socialist programmes and législation. It is seen as an integral part of their claim to be socially revolutionary and it is proclaimed as much in the new post-revolutionary states of the Third World as it is in the USSR and Eastern Europe. Yet although

Reports on the activities of the Commission during 1980.Early in its deliberations the Commission identified sexual discrimination, domestic violence and rape as areas of particular concern. Six ad hoc committees were set up to examine and report on legal status, rural women, education and employment, and health and welfare; to mount a public awareness programme on the Commission's work; and*to prepare reports on the Commission's findings. Based on its preliminary investigations the Commission: proposes to undertake a pilot survey of rural areas to determine more precisely the needs and aspirations of rural women and to undertake research in existing employment opportunities for women; recognizes that women have a special place in the arts and that the need exists to harness their talents so as to make skills marketable; considers family health care, day-care centres and the procedures relating to maintenance payments as primary concerns for health and welfare. Recommendations are made concerning agriculture, health and welfare, handicraft and the arts. The report also includes a status report tracing.the background of the development of the country in general and women in particular, the effects of industrialization and the legal rights of women.

Fertility decline in Cuba: a socio-economic interpretation.In: Population and Development Review, Vol. 8, No. 3, September 1982. pp. 513-537.

The crude birth rate in Cuba, which had been in the mid-20s per thousand population during the 1950s, climbed to the mid-30s in the years immediately following the Cuban Revolution and then fell starting in the late 1960s, to reach a low of 14 per thousand in 1980, one of the most rapid declines on record.While observers have often attributed the fertility decline to modernization over the last two decades, the authors argue for a more complex explanation in which baby boom and bust arose from objective factors in social and economic trends and subject­ive factors related to public consumption aspirations and expecta­tions. In this view, the baby boom was a response to the economic achievements and social welfare reforms of the early years of the revolution and the feelings of optimism they engendered in the public. The subsequent dramatic downturn in fertility was a response to deteriorating economic conditions and wide public perception of unmet aspirations, as well as modernization.

Women in Jamaica: patterns of reproduction and family. Millwood,New York, United States, KTO, 1978. 346p.

This study provides the basis for an understanding of the position of women in Jamaica with special reference to their reproduction performance and family relationships. Bringing together both publish­ed and newly-acquired data, it covers many significant aspects of the lifestyles of West Indian women. Data collected on the formation of family unions, the extent and character of changes in the family structure, the three types of unions (married, common-law and visiting), the periods of time spent in each, as well as their relative stability have been discussed. Also included are many social and biological aspects of reproduction and child care in the society, such as pregnancy wastage, infant mortality, breastfeeding, support of children, family planning, menstrual patterns and knowledge of reproduction and menstruation. A summary of findings reveals that the visiting union is more common when compared with studies on Trinidad; effective contacts between father and children average 4 hours per week; the married union shows the highest educational performance followed by the visiting and the common-law unions; 1 0 % and 1 2 % of the respondents exhibited an adequate knowledge of reproduction and menstruation respectively; for infants delivered by nurses in hospital, the level of mortality is 37 per 1000 as compared with 67 per 1000 delivered in homes by nanas. Concludes that steps to upgrade knowledge of untrained midwives to help contain environmental factors affecting infant mortality be considered; that programmes of fertility control incorporate campaigns aimed at disseminating an appropriate understanding of the fundamental processes of reproduction and menstruation.

Dixon, Ruth BoWomen in agriculture: counting.the labour force in developing

countries» In: Population and Development Review, Vol. 8 , No. 3, September 1982. pp. 539-566.

Although the undercounting.of women in the labor force by censuses and labor force surveys has attracted considerable comment in the past decade, evidence of its prevalence has been sporadic.This paper compares the total counts of men and women in the farm labor force (self-employed, wage laborers, and unpaid.family helpers) obtained from population censuses and surveys, from estimates prepared by the International Labour Office, and from censuses of farm holdings coordinated by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations - each of which follows different definitions and procedures. Whereas the three sources reveal quite similar counts of men in the labor force on average, they differ remark­ably in their counts of women. New estimates based on the more inclusive practices of the FAO censuses substantially raise the proportions female in the agricultural labor force above those reported by the ILO. These new estimates are relevant to agri­cultural development planning and to theories of gender roles and labor allocation.

This paper focuses on poor rural women and the ways in which poverty, technology and the generation of income affect their lives. The first part raises three policy issues centred around the need to: (1 ) maximize women's productivity and access to cash earnings in both traditional and new areas of economic enterprise through technically efficient and potentially profitable new devices and know-how; (2) enable women to gain access to information and to acquire and control technology; and (3) achieve a balance between the introduction of new technologies and the displacement of female labor associated with mechanization and automation.

h»

Women make.up. 40% of.the Cuban, population ..- assuming that the task ahead ..is . the full integration of women into the revolutionary

f effort to create the material and social foundations of communism,the paper examines changes that have taken place in women's participation in the labour force since the revolution. Women's education and-employment in pre- and revolutionary Cuba are compared: while the goals of education have been largely successful, women's participation in the labour force has not been without contradictions. Biological determinism continues to underlie the reasoning.which. Justifies the reinforcement of a sexual decision of labour and women's domestic obligations - the "second shift" - which are responsible for the high»drop-out rate.of women workers and the under-representation of women in the leadership ranks. The c o n t r a d i c t i o n s undermining the collectivization of household tasks in the public.sector and the recent national campaign against sexism are discussed and it is concluded that the degree to which these are resolved will be the measure of Cuba's success in a c h ie v in g a truly.liberated society.

Contends that in Caribbean socities, women predominate in the service sectors such as domestic household help, sales, hotel service workers and higglering and also in the civil service, teaching and nursing. Analyses some of the reasons for the great imbalance in the labour force. Active discrimination and exploit- tation are evident in certain areas* but points out the attitudes of women play an important contributory role. They are socialized into believing that they must be relegated to the back seat and that leadership in all spheres belongs to - the domain of men.Argues that a total change.in women's positions especially in employment will only materialize with a new economic order - one that does not merely involve the transfer of resources from rich to poor but one which involves the total mobilization and transformation of our societies. In the meantime however, West Indian women have to be agents of that change and proposes.some short-term proposals which can be pursued within the present economic and social structure to improve the position of women in employment.

Examines the legal rights and responsiblities of women in marriage; when the marriage is dissolved; with respect to children within the marriage unit, and those born out of wedlock. The property rights of women in the event of a marital breakdown, are defined as well as the rights and responsibilities of women in "common law" relationships. Discussion highlights the point that laws alone are not enough to achieve equality for women, and points out areas of discrimination with which women are faced before thelaw. Recommendations focus on the need for legal reform in areas ^where the law does not provide for independence and equality for women.

Concludes that although in principle, there is nothing to prevent women from playing a greater role in the political, economic and social development of Jamaica, there are, however, a number of practical obstacles to the attainment of this goal.One major obstacle is the inadequate number of child care facilities for working mothers. Another is the inadequacy of training programmes for women in vocational, technical and management skills. But perhaps the most important obstacle is the traditional attitude of men and women towards their respective roles in society. More intensive efforts must therefore be made to change the attitudes of men and women at all levels of Jamaican society, to allow for the total accept­ance of women in all facets of political, economic and social activity in Jamaica. Appendix 1 presents a chronology of legislation affecting the status of women in Jamaica.
