The Changing Economic Role of Women in the Urbanization Process: A Preliminary Report from Zimbabwe

Abstract

This article represents the preliminary discussion of an investigation into the changing economic role of women within the urbanization process in Zimbabwe. Since its settlement by white colonialists less than a century ago, Zimbabwe has experienced continuous transformations in almost all facets of its political, economic and social life, but during the 13 years of UDI these accelerated enormously and have continued at this pace since independence in 1980. Among the social groups affected by such changes, women, particularly those moving into the cities, seem to have experienced radical upheavals in their societal roles.
