Abstract

A brief overview is given of the linkages between rural women's work in providing basic needs for their families in a deteriorating environment, and increasing poverty, showing the necessity of paying attention to women's tasks and living conditions in policy and planning for sustainable development.This leads on to the problematic concept of participation. In this connection two cases, a negative and a positive one, are used as illustrations. Some research issues are discussed. Suggestions are made on how to organize and stimulate the participation of women in activities directed at sustainable development.
