5.1.4 Economic Activities Undertaken:<br />

Women economic groups in each district are engaged in various<br />

and varied economic activities as indicated by Table LXXVIII<br />

(a,b,c,e and f) below. Analysis of 1978 and 1988 Census<br />

Reports indicates that the proportion of women in the<br />

economically active regional population increased significantly<br />

between the year 1978 and 1988. On account of their active<br />

involmvement in income geneating activites, it may be rightly<br />

assumed that women in the rural areas of <strong>Kilimanjaro</strong> region<br />

roughly earn about 30% of their family income. However, a study<br />

is needed to confirm this assumption.<br />
