Documentation and Analysis of the Invisible Work of Invisible Women: A Nigerian Case-Study.

Pittin, Renee

International Labour Review, v123 n4 p473-90 Jul-Aug 1984

Data are presented from research on women's work in a Northern Nigerian city in which Muslim women are kept in seclusion. Focus is on errors in survey design, administration, and analysis, which occur when biased techniques are used to measure women's work and income-producing activities. (Author/SK)
