As quoted by OECD, women reinvest 90% of their income in their families and communities, compared with 30%-40% invested by men. Investing in women is an investment in current and future generations. This is why countries need a carefully crafted response to the global financial crisis, which threatens to plunge a further 22 million women into unemployment, according to a recent report by the International Labour Organization. Clearly they need to move beyond the notion of 'gender neutral' responses, and ensure that women have access to credit and opportunities to participate in decision-making processes, particularly in responding to crisis.

The trade and investment impact will accumulate, with reduced remittances and fewer workers migrating. According to the IIF, the level of private capital likely to be invested in developing countries in 2009 will be down by 82%, relative to 2007. Two key variables in the official assistance scenario for developing countries are the flow of overseas development assistance and the availability of International Monetary Fund credits. Despite G-20 measures and fiscal stimulus across a number of ma...
