In ''Women, Development, and the UN—A Six-Year Quest for Equality and Justice'' she shows how women's contributions have changed and shaped developments and practices at the UN. She introduces the term "[[feminization of poverty]]" from the feminist economist point of view. "‘Feminization of poverty,’" Jain explains, "was used to describe three distinct elements: that women have a higher incidence of poverty than men, that women’s poverty is more severe than that of men, that a trend toward greater poverty among women is associated with rising rates of female-headed households."(Jain 2005) According to her, "feminization of work" connotes low-quality, lowly-paid work. Jain argues that "feminization" devalues the increased presence of women.<ref>Jain, Devaki. 2005.
