How women are paid and valued in the fields, factories, and offices has direct bearing on women workers’ status within and outside the workplace. The statistical profile of women’s work in South Asia reveals ahigh maternal mortality rate, adverse sex ratios, low levels of literacy, the highest work participation of women in agriculture, and women’s estimated earned income as less than half that of men, signifying the undervaluation and unpaid nature of women’s productive economic …

The Conservation Of Mayan Artifacts, Russell M. Franks Jan 2006

The Conservation Of Mayan Artifacts, Russell M. Franks

Russell M. Franks
