title: [Population resettlement and changes in female roles in the Sahel].
abstract: "What are the implications of population resettlement schemes from poor regions to more fertile regions on the condition of women?  Using the Sahelian experience, the article suggests that, even though resettlement is generally accompanied by significant increases in household resources, it does not necessarily imply an improvement in the status of women."  The Sahel region encompasses parts of Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Chad, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, and Senegal. (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)
