In Cameroon a majority of women are unemployed and thus living below the poverty line. The economic challenges faced by women are disproportionate to those faced by men owing to the privileged access to education and vocational training given to the boy child. The alarming unemployment situation of women affect their offspring negatively in what could be described as a generational vicious circle of poverty. This scenario can be clearly illustrated in the life of an unemployed single mother/widow whom due to financial hardship is not able to educate her children or see them through any form of vocational training/business orientation. The tendency is that such children grow up as school dropouts being unemployed like their mothers and having very slender means as such being unable to properly support their own children; thus, the vicious circle of poverty continues in several generations. According to a 2019 Report on Cameroon by The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs:  While 39% of the national population lives below the poverty line, this rate rises to 51.5% for women. 79.2% of them are underemployed. Only 3% of women own a house without a property title and 1.6% own a property title in their name. Women make up 71.6% of workers in the informal agricultural sector. 32.5% of women over 25 have some level of secondary education (39.2% for men) Boys have a privileged access to education: Their gross enrollment rate is 125% in primary school (110% for girls). 65% are enrolled in secondary school (53% for girls). The worsening poverty situation of women has been further compounded by the ongoing socio-political Anglophone crisis in Cameroon in the North and South West Regions; Boko Haram Insurgency in the North and attacks in the East by arm rebels from the Central Africa Republic which causes women to flee their comfort zones to take up stay in unusual destinations with their dependent children.
