Among the least impact studied climate change is the social and economic impact on women. Nitya Rao, professor of Gender and Development at the University of East Anglia has been studied for decades, gender and development; with the recent the important impact that the global temperature changes on local and national economies, have decided to analyze the effects of climate change on women in particular. She and her team looked at data collected countries hotspots documented in Asia and Africa 25 case studies in 11, as the state of climate change women measured by their ability to influence strategic decisions and this makes their livelihood, it takes Agency about their financial situation and work to improve their social and economic positions, among others. “What we found is that climate change and environmental pollution are common factors existing disadvantages or gender and development inequalities intensify,” he says. This is especially true in the poorest parts of the world, where families depend on agriculture and to make the money work orders, and where male migration, labor markets dominated by men and patriarchal institutions already put stress on families , especially women who are struggling to survive around. Climate change, exacerbated these charges, found Rao. It could lead, for example, as the warming global temperatures by drought collected more uncertainty or floods wipe out jobs a year in a matter of weeks – breadwinner, often male, rather must move away from family for months at a time in a gain of income. Women remain after the children and earn what they can, because often men are not able to send their wages regularly at home. Even if they can, says Rao, hard work in the industry who are not familiar, such as construction or mining, often compromises their health, and many families have to spend an increasing amount of medical expenses. “Even if they bring money, not all of what is necessarily go to the budget,” says Rao. Labor markets around the world also usually discriminate against women, forcing them to find a low-paying job or dangerous and often illegal, like selling drugs or prostitution. Since the weather is unpredictable, deep pressure women in agriculture-based economies with varying temperatures. Government regulations for banks and land ownership are also working against them. Only 15% of the land in the world is owned by women, for example, air and hot spot is no different. Since the members of the male family in possession of the title to ownership of land, banks often refuse women seek loans that they would use their crops as collateral or future. If you are looking for any loans from legitimate institutions, these women are forced to turn to private lenders require higher interest rates and more women can be damaged, the financial risk. “There is already These disadvantages for women, but with the unpredictable weather, sometimes women have to take preventive decisions about whether their crops will survive, or if their livestock will survive the season, and are sometimes forced to take risky decisions,” said Rao. “So, the uncertainty that comes with climate change is particularly difficult for women.” In many poorer countries, services such as child care, drinking water and affordable food programs accessible are privatized and expensive, making them beyond the reach of poor families, they need more. The provision of these services could ease more significantly the climate-related stress for women spread. In their analysis Rao and his team have some programs to start finding these cultural and institutional burdens on women. In some parts of northern India, for example, there are ways to get male members of the family based efforts to find a job away from home, to leave their credit cards to their wives, then that access to money allow cash to hire workers when they need funds. “What I see happening on the ground, at the household level, makes me optimistic,” says Rao. “I was also surprised to find that the standards in rigid paternalistic companies shut down completely supports the emancipation of women. But unfortunately, weather-based adjustments for the implementation at the local level, you get to the men’s elite who speak, who are the village leaders, and to support the climate pressure and the need for women to ignore. “As men and women more and more young people who penalize their support for cultural and financial standards change voice that women could change, though, he says Rao. to collect most of the data for the study, points out, most of the people who attended were grateful for the opportunity to provide their views and be heard. “They said that no one bothers to talk to them,” says Rao. “These are views that are missing in the research and production of real change.” Picture of zhuyongming copyright-Getty Images
