{{Short description|Field of research and study}}
'''Gender and development''' is an interdisciplinary field of research and applied study that implements a [[Feminism|feminist]] approach to understanding and addressing the disparate impact that [[economic development]] and [[globalization]] have on people based upon their ___location, gender, class background, and other socio-political identities. A strictly economic approach to development views a country's development in quantitative terms such as job creation, inflation control, and high employment – all of which aim to improve the ‘economic wellbeing’ of a country and the subsequent quality of life for its people.<ref name=":2">{{cite web|url=https://www.iedconline.org/clientuploads/Downloads/IEDC_ED_Reference_Guide.pdf|title=The International Economic Development Council's Economic Development Reference Guide|website=International Economic Development Council|access-date=28 November 2018|archive-date=18 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171118034420/http://www.iedconline.org/clientuploads/Downloads/IEDC_ED_Reference_Guide.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref> In terms of economic development, quality of life is defined as access to necessary rights and resources including but not limited to quality education, medical facilities, affordable housing, clean environments, and low crime rate.<ref name=":2" /> Gender and development considers many of these same factors; however, gender and development emphasizes efforts towards understanding how multifaceted these issues are in the entangled context of culture, government, and globalization. Accounting for this need, gender and development implements [[Ethnography|ethnographic]] research, research that studies a specific culture or group of people by physically immersing the researcher into the environment and daily routine of those being studied,<ref>{{cite journal|last=Sangasubana|first=Nisaratana|date=11 March 2011|title=How to Conduct Ethnographic Research|url=https://nsuworks.nova.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1071&context=tqr|journal=The Qualitative Report|volume=16|pages=3–4|via=ProQuest}}</ref> in order to comprehensively understand ''how'' development policy and practices affect the everyday life of targeted groups or areas.
