520			_aThe research titled "gender, women and poverty in the Windward Island, " conducted by Cecilia Babb and commissioned by United Nations Fund in women and the United Nation Development programme in March 1998, examines the intersection of gender, poverty, and development in the Caribbean's Windward Islands. The study highlights how women experiences poverty differently from men, focusing on socio-economic factors that contribute to gender disparities in income, resources access and decision-making power. It identifies structured causes of poverty, such as traditional gender roles, limited formal employment opportunities for women, and lack of access to credit and land ownership. The report offers policy recommendations to reduce gender-based inequalities, including improving education and vocational training, promoting inclusive economic policies and adopting gender-sensitive poverty alleviation strategies.
