- Women are the major contributors particularly in agriculture to community productivity but their contribution was not reflected in national statistics
- Feminist revolution, neglect the productive role of women so that it consequently negatives impact on women.
- Economic growth is not concentrated on women role so that access of women on resources become weak.
- Trickle down approach/welfare approach of development could not address the women issues
