商品描述

The book traces long-standing societal unjust structures and transformations in South Asia to highlight persistent inequality and lost potential, with a central emphasis on gender disparities and their impact on well-being/ill-being. Focusing on recent decades marked by rapid technological change, it highlights missed opportunities, particularly the failure to invest in women. The book analyzes this neglect and its substantial social costs, examining impacts on health, education, and labor productivity through the lens of cultural norms, policies, and institutions. Beyond quantitative analysis, the book incorporates key political developments and accounts of women engaged in social activism to highlight the resilience and agency of women across the region. In doing so, it presents long-term trends and historical trajectories, while identifying critical moments of missed opportunity. Ultimately, the book conveys a clear message to social planners: women should not be treated as a standalone concern, but rather integrated at the core of all development agendas, a prerequisite for achieving inclusive and sustainable societal prosperity.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書追溯南亞長期存在的社會不公結構和變遷，以突顯持續的貧富不均和失去的潛力，並以性別差異及其對福祉/不福祉的影響為中心重點。書中聚焦於近幾十年快速技術變革的時期，強調錯失的機會，特別是未能對女性進行投資。這本書分析了這種忽視及其重大的社會成本，通過文化規範、政策和制度的視角檢視對健康、教育和勞動生產力的影響。除了定量分析外，書中還融入了關鍵的政治發展和參與社會運動的女性的故事，以突顯該地區女性的韌性和主動性。在此過程中，它呈現了長期趨勢和歷史軌跡，同時識別出關鍵的錯失機會時刻。最終，這本書向社會規劃者傳達了一個明確的信息：女性不應被視為單獨的關注點，而應融入所有發展議程的核心，這是實現包容性和可持續社會繁榮的前提。
