文摘

We use surveys of husbands and wives in Tanzania to explore rural household decision-making. We find perceptions of household decision-making authority differ depending on the spouse asked. Factors associated with a wife’s authority include age, education, health, children, and labor hours. The allocation of intra-household authority also varies across thirteen different decision questions. A lack of “intra-household accord” over authority may be a barrier to empowerment efforts.
