Volume 3, Number 1
June 1997

Welcome to the fifth edition of the Gender CG Newsletter. The newsletter is intended to be a hard-copy complement to the Gender CG Network, an electronic network that connects researchers working on gender and intrahousehold issues in the areas of agriculture, natural resources management, food security and nutrition. Our membership now stands at nearly 300. This edition reports on new topics discussed on the newtork since October 1996, including the allocation of funding from the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) for supplementary studies on gender analysis, announcements of new publications, conferences, and other resources that are of interest to our members.

The discussion that has occupied a significant amount of network time focused on the issue of mortality and time allocation of labor. A recent study's findings generated much discussion about the conposition of the household as it related to the division of labor and the methods for gathering information on the topic.
