Gender Control and Labour Input: Who Controls the Proceeds from Staple Crop Production among Zambian Farmers?

Arthur M. Shipekesa and Thomas Jayne ()

No 140904, Food Security Collaborative Working Papers from Michigan State University, Department of Agricultural, Food, and Resource Economics

Abstract: Because gender roles and relations are dynamic, programs built on a solid up-to-date understanding of how men and women share labor responsibilities and the proceeds from their agricultural activities have the potential to bring forth positive outcomes. Better information on gender-based constraints and intra-household power dynamics form the foundation for programs that can enhance gender equity.
