Synopsis

In this volume economists, demographers, sociologists and anthropologists collaborate in the study of how resources are allocated within households in developing countries and why it matters from a policy perspective. Surveying a broad range of theory and evidence, the contributors examine the many social and cultural factors that influence decisions about the family and household level about the allocation of time, income, assets and other resources. Ths contributors show that a more complete understanding of intrahousehold behaviour can increase the likelihood that policies will reach the people they are intended to affect.
