• W86885846 abstract "Introduction After a period of sustained growth, which Cameroon experienced up to the middle of the 1980s accomplishing an annual average growth of 7 percent over a ten-year period, the situation deteriorated from 1986 onward and the country has suffered a severe economic and social crisis, (Baye 2004). Since 1985, there has been a sharp reversal in economic performance. The Gross Domestic Product per capital declined by 6.3 percent per year from 1985 to 1993 and this translated into a 6 percent rate of decline in private consumption per capita. How has Cameroon's regressing economy for the past twenty five years in which its citizens have been making an effort to adapt to a constantly reducing domestic consumption due to the deterioration of the job market affected gender gap and participation in the prevalent values in Douala? Amin (2001) affirms that households headed by men have a relatively higher prevalence of poverty (40.6 percent) than households headed by women (38.7 percent). Poverty is 1.5 percent higher among men's households. Total expenditures per day adult equivalent of households headed by women are 2.1 percent higher in relative value than those headed by men. Poverty in terms of basic needs is lower in households headed by women than those headed by men. Men head 3 out of 4 households and nearly 8 out of 10 poor people live in households headed by men. Just like Amin (2001) Baye (2004) explains that males are poorer than females in Cameroon and states that there is no feminisation of poverty in Cameroon. According to Nana-Fabu (2009) the feminisation of poverty in Cameroon simply refers to the increasing proportion of the poor in Cameroon who are women. According to her, women of late in Cameroon have been over-represented among the poor. They lack the skills and socioeconomic opportunities to empower them fight against poverty. Their work is isolated and devalued. As a result, they are trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty and misery: low income, low savings, low investment and low productivity despite their hard work. Is there really a feminisation of poverty in Cameroon when Amin (2001) and Baye (2004) say poverty is higher in households headed by men than those headed by women? The current study first of all establishes gender inequality in terms of education, income, occupation and then finds out whether such disproportion affects women's participation in the leading desired values in Douala. The following hypotheses were formulated: There is a positive relationship between gender and income, education and occupation. Gender disparity positively influences one's participation in the main values in Douala. The Questionnaire Poverty is relative to a society and epoch. Sociologically speaking, one is poor when one cannot attain the desired values of one's society (Holborn et al 1991). Thirty randomly selected respondents were asked the psychological and social essentials for ordinary living patterns in Douala before formulating the questionnaire. One after every twenty of them was picked. The results indicated that for one to live a better life in Douala, one must have a good salary, transportation means, be in good health, own a decent house which is airy, spacious, clean, well-built, secured, well-electrified, air-conditioned and with potable water, buy fashionable things (durable goods), have enough to eat, satisfy one's primary needs, attend good schools and colleges. Under leisure activities respondents mentioned reading, travelling, watching TV programmes, visiting friends and drinking with them, visiting recreational centres and doing sport. The desired values were grouped into four appropriate categories: Domestic comfort, feeding habits, health seeking behavior and leisure activities. Domestic comfort was broken down into three components: Homeownership (measured using homeownership, rent, living under someone and in a family house as well as homelessness which is perceived in Cameroon as a lack of an abode be it in a poor or rich neighbourhood. …" @default.
