The Impact of War and Outward Male Migration on Female Human Development in El Salvador

Abstract

An investigation into the impact of war and outward male migration on female human development in El Salvador. The objective here is to examine the lives of Salvadoran women, their roles in development, and outside factors influencing those roles. Specifically this investigation seeks to address the question: What is the impact of outward male migration and the post-conflict context of El Salvador on female human development? I hypothesize that improvements in women's human development in El Salvador are partially due to outward male migration and the post-conflict situation.
