Naila&nbsp\;Kabeer is Professor of Gender and Development at the Gender Institute\, London School of Economics and Political Science. She is interested in various aspects of inequality and how they play out within households\, labour markets and the wider economy. Professor Kabeer has also investigated different forms of collective action by poor and marginalized groups seeking a more just distribution of power\, resources and political voice and what this tells us about the relationship between individual empowerment and societal justice. Professor Kabeer has sought to link her research with the real world of policy and practice through regional training and advisory work with governments\, international and bilateral organizations\, and national NGOs. She is on the board of the Women&rsquo\;s Rights Program of the Open Society Foundations\, the International Centre for Research on Women and the ILO&rsquo\;s Better Works Program. She is also on the editorial committee for the Feminist Economics journal.
