| description | State led rural development programs have been major contributors
to the economic development of East Asian countries. However, the
study and practise of development have revealed that men and women
are differently affected through the process of national economic
development. In the case of rural development, it has been found that
gender blind social and economic development efforts do not take
into account the discrepancies in power, opportunities and roles that
women experience. This research looks at two exemplary state led rural
development programs from Northeast and Southeast Asia to provide
a gendered look at the outcome of the Saemaul Undong and FELDA
programs. It discusses the theoretical evolution on the importance of
taking a gendered perspective in rural development. Then it provides
an overview of the policies directed at women in Saemaul Undong
and FELDA followed by a discussion of the outcome. It finds that
these programs were progressive especially in the explicit inclusion
of women and youth into its administrative structure at a time when
this was not common in South Korea and Malaysia. This contributed
to changing how these societies fundamentally views what women are
capable of especially in the case of capital production. |
