Explanation:

The “feminization of poverty” is an idea dating back to the 1970s. It was popularized in the early 1990s, not least in the field of UN agency research. The feminization of poverty is a change in poverty levels from an unfavorable bias towards women or female-headed households. But specifically, the feminization of poverty is an increase in the difference in poverty levels between women and men, or, on the one hand, between female-headed households, and, on the other hand, those headed by men or couples. The term can also be used to mean increased poverty due to inequalities between men and women, although we prefer to call this the feminization of the causes of poverty.
