Abstract
This chapter presents research questions emanating from descriptions of three Nicaraguan work situations—a microenterprise development program, garment assembly factories, and a coffee plantation—as well as those that emerged from Schein’s study of women and work groups in Nicaragua. These questions form the basis of an I-O research agenda for understanding the issues of women and work in developing countries.
