      abstract = {This open access book examines the relationship between  trade and women's economic empowerment by focusing on small  and medium enterprises (SMEs) in six countries: Cambodia,  Ghana, Madagascar, Nigeria, Senegal and Vietnam. The  authors make use of both survey data and qualitative  analysis to understand why and how trade can create more  jobs for women, and how the jobs created are contributing  to women's empowerment. They propose strategies and  policies for ensuring that women can benefit from trade.  After providing the context for the research and reviewing  the literature on trade and gender in the introductory  chapter, the second chapter analyzes survey data collected  for this project. This is followed by a qualitative  analysis of the six country cases in the next two chapters:  Cambodia and Vietnam (Chapter 3), followed by Ghana,  Madagascar, Nigeria and Senegal (Chapter 4). The final  chapter concludes with a summary of our findings and policy  recommendations.
