Demographic dynamics in Southeast Asia: The gender factor

The Gender Studies Programme at ISEAS was established in 2005 to contribute to the literature on gender research, publishing and policy consultations. The programme, headed by Dr Theresa Devasahayam, covers two areas: women and politics; and health and social vulnerabilities of marginalised women, including chronically poor women, low-skilled women, migrant workers, sex workers, older women, trafficked women, and internally displaced and refugee women. These areas are explicitly chosen to fill a gap in the research in the region, and are explored from a diversity of theoretical perspectives and disciplinary approaches
