| Name | Gender and Rural Households in Malawi |
| Description | Malusi, M. 2004. Gender and Rural Households in Malawi. Laurentian University. Ontario, Canada. There is growing interest in understanding gender relations in rural households. This document brings together information that should help in understanding of the day-to-day lives of rural men and women and how their conditions are influenced and shaped by gender. Priority has been given to information that is relevant to understanding household differentiation including structures and composition, headship status, income generation and resource distribution, decision responsibilities and patterns. The document attempts to pinpoint major issues related to household circumstances such as the dominance of men in controlling income and resources, economic insecurity and vulnerability of women in male headed households, power struggles within decision making levels and patterns and the problem of hunger and food insecurity repeatedly experienced by rural families.Gender and Rural Households in Malawi is the first publication of this nature in Malawi. It is envisaged that the document will be updated in the near future. In the meantime, we trust the contents will stimulate wide interest and discussions and will provide useful input in gender related initiatives and rograms. |
