The answer is feminization of poverty.

The feminization of poverty is a trend wherein the women, from all over the world, represents the disproportionate percentage of the poor. The percentage of the poor is changed to become biased against the women or female households. This can be contributed as a gender inequality in terms of determining poverty.
