Augmenting division of labor Boserup (1970) Boserup, Esther.

According to Boserup's historical data, women living in such a structure also welcome one or more co-wives to share with them the burden of daily labor.

Boserup argued that women were marginalized in the modernization process and practices of growth, development, and development policy threatened to actually make women worse off.

When Ester Boserup published her book, Woman’s Role in Economic Development, there was a realization that development affected men and women differently and there began to be more of a focus on women and development.
