Challenges faced by Women in Fiji: Major emphasis on Education, Investment, Health and Social Attitudes
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Women play an important role towards economic growth and development; Women in Fiji are no exception to this. While many researchers have focused on impact of international trade on women’s welfare, very little or no emphasis has been made on the challenges these women face in the areas of Education, Investment, Health and Social Attitudes especially for a small developing country like Fiji. This further motivated the researchers as it needed to be investigated if these factors were influencing women in Fiji in positive/negative ways from equally participating and contributing towards economic growth and development. Through this research it was revealed that women in Fiji face various challenges particularly in the areas of Education, Health and Investment both at family as well as at society level. The findings and recommendations from this research could be used by key policy makers to empower women in Fiji to more actively participate and contribute towards economic growth and development which in long term could help in poverty reduction and improve standard of living.
