Which approach focusses on the feature that reproduction and economic roles are linked to gender inequalities of masculinity and feminity ?
Answer: D
The approach is Gender and Development (GAD).
GAD, which emerged in the 1980s, shifted attention from 'women' to gender relations. It examines how women's reproductive and productive roles are bound up with unequal relations between men and women, and argues that development must change those power relations, not just add women to existing projects.
The welfare approach treated women mainly as mothers and recipients of aid. Women in Development (WID) sought to integrate women into development through economic participation without questioning gender relations. The efficiency approach justified investing in women because it makes development more efficient. None of these links reproduction and economic roles to gender inequality as GAD does.
