Abstract

This panel includes three presentations from papers published in the Journal of African Development Special Issue 23:2-01 in 2022 entitled: Promoting Health, Human Capital and Gender Issues in Africa. The papers provide insights on challenges and limitations of existing development policies and programmes. They also demonstrate how patriarchal structures, unequal gender relations and current economic policies are inter-related, and can undermine commitments to gender equality and sustainable development. They highlight the need for alternative, gender-equitable economic strategies, to improve health outcomes, build human capital, and eliminate gender inequalities within and between African countries.

Paper 1 by co-editors, Leith Dunn and Abidemi Fasanmi, provides the background, conceptual framework, context, challenges (including COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on selected African countries); opportunities and strategies used to address social, economic and gender inequalities in Africa. It concludes with insights to rethink economic development policies, using gender equitable feminist strategies to improve health, human capital and sustainable development outcomes.

Paper 2 is entitled: Intrahousehold Gender Relations, Child Labour and Schooling in Rural Ethiopia by Bilisuma Bushie Dito. Using data from the 2009 Ethiopian Rural Household Survey (ERHS), this study investigated how child labour and schooling vary with intrahousehold gender relations in rural Ethiopia and highlighted the gendered processes behind human capital formation in rural Ethiopia.

Keywords: Child labor, schooling; Intrahousehold gender relations; rural Ethiopia; Sub-Saharan

Africa.

Paper 3 is entitled: Gender Differential Effects of Technical and Vocational Training: Empirical Evidence for Tanzania by Cornel Joseph and Vincent Leyaro. Data from Tanzania’s 2014 Integrated Labour Force Survey (ILFS) was used to investigate the gender differential effects of TVET on employment mobility and earning gaps. Results showed that investing in girls’ education and skills training, play significant roles toward progress on gender equality, poverty eradication, and inclusive economic growth.

Key words: Africa, health, human capital, gender equality, feminism
