From the particular point of view of women's lives, development policies, carried out by FRELIMO, initially socialists and later neo-liberal, didn't make so much difference, which the author explores grounded in ethnographic material from various regions of the country.Based on fieldwork carried out in Mozambique between 1981 and 1984 and through extensive analysis of data on women and gender relations, the author discusses the so-called development processes in Africa, taking in consideration their deployment in Mozambique and its effects on women.

Past, present and future of strong Nigerian girls: A study on education and fertility rates of the Giant of Africa
No full textDenne kandidat afhandling undersøger de faktorer som underlægger den reducerencende effekt kvinders uddannelsesniveau har på fertilitetsraten i Nigeria. Hvordan pigers deltagelse i udannelsesprogrammer udfoldede sig over årtierne mellem 1950erne of 2010erne, samt hvilke underliggende grunde spiller ind i landets stadigt høje fertilitetsrater. De faktorer som kan sænke fertilitetsraten identificeres I teori sektionen og er blevet undersøgt vha. “Nigerian Demographic Health Survey” meningsmålingerne fra årene 1999 og 2018. Den geografiske placering af kvinderne,spædbørnsdødelighed og kvinders ønskede antal børn er vist at være fremtrædende faktorer som markant forøger fertilitetsraten.Herudover gennemgås succesen af store skolereformer som “Universal Primary Education” og “Universal Basic Education” i deres effekt på pigers deltagelse i uddannelsesmulighederne.This thesis aims to investigate the factors that contribute to the reductional effect women’s educational level have on fertility rates in Nigeria. How girls’ participation in education changed in the decades between the 1950s to the 2010s and what underlies the country’s still immense fertility rates. The factors that could decrease fertility rates have been identified by the theoretical framework and have been investigated using the Nigerian Demographic Health Surveys from 1999 and 2018. Geographic location of the women, infant mortality rates and women's desired number of children were determined as salient factors that highly contribute to fertility rates.In addition, the success of large-scale education reforms such as the Universal Primary Education and Universal Basic Education programmes were established in elevating girls’ participation in education
