Type: article
Abstract: Improved agriculture technologies are key factors to better increase welfare, especially in agricultural sector, where most of the population in developing countries suffer from high workload and little returns.On the other hands, the role of Women in agriculture is significant.Several empirical literatures indicate that adoption of agricultural technologies can affect welfare positively in general, but because of its complex and multidimensional nature women's empowerment was not brought to the agenda in program evaluation context in many cases.The current review provides a general overview of connection between improved agricultural technologies and women's role in agriculture.It also explores how the measurement of women's empowerment is one of the challenges in women's study.
