Abstract

This comprehensive study on gender and development-induced relocation examines 98 papers from the Scopus.com collection. Between June and July 2022, a search of the academic literature was conducted using a set of preliminary key words. Mendeley Desktop 1.19 has been used to expedite this electronic search. In order to minimize bias in the identification, selection, synthesis, and summary of literature, the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis for protocols 2015 checklist is utilized in this study. Comparative case studies at the local project level, qualitative cross-sectional surveys, reviews, and mixed technique research are the most effective among a variety of studies carried out in various nations, even though there is no overt methodological bias. The main deprivations that displaced women suffer from more frequently than their male counterparts are a lack of access to land, housing, and employment; loss of access to public property; marginalization; a lack of capacity for making decisions; a lack of social cohesion; and unequal labor division. Because of internalized discrimination, women may find it more difficult to overcome these barriers. The authors of this study produce policy recommendations by carefully analyzing the empirical literature.
