Abstract: This issue is particularly crucial in the present climate of privatization associated with structural adjustment policies. The intellectual tradition behind these policies assumes that the withdrawal of state subsidies to health, education, and nutrition can be compensated by individual expenditures if incomes continue to rise. However, if rising incomes are controlled by male household heads, benefits may not reach women and girls.
