Se analiza la participacion de la mujer en el sector informal de la economia y se presenta un ejemplo de una encuesta entre mujeres involucradas en el procesamiento de gari en pequena escala. De 40 mujeres entrevistadas, el 37.5 por ciento fueron productoras de gari involucradas en todas las 6 etapas principales del procesamiento (pelado y lavado, rallado, deshidratacion, tamizado, secamiento y frito). Se desglosan las horas dedicadas a cada etapa y se discuten los problemas involucrados en el uso de equipos, la actitud hacia la nueva tecnologia y los problemas de produccion. Se enumeran las soluciones propuestas por las mujeres. Las recomendaciones discutidas se relacionan con la organizacion de las mujeres en cooperativas, las facilidades de credito, el suministro de insumos, la mecanizacion selectiva de los procesos, los sistemas de transporte y mercadeo efectivos, reorientacion sociocultural de la sociedad, e integracion de las actividades de las agencias relacionadas con mujeres.

Trabajo presentado en Oyo State Co-operative Seminar
Women's participation in the informal sector of the economy is analyzed, and an example of a survey among women involved in gari processing on a small-scale level is presented. Out of 40 women interviewed, 37.5 percent were gari producers involved in all 6 major processing stages (peeling and washing, grating, dehydration, sieving, drying, and frying). A breakdown of hours devoted to each stage is presented; and the problems involved in the use of equipment, attitudes toward new tecnologies, and production problems are discussed. The solutions proposed by women are listed. Recommendations discussed relate to the organization of women in cooperatives, credit facilities, supply of inputs, selective mechanization of processes, effective transportation and marketing systems, sociocultural redirection of society, and integration of activities of women-related agencies.
