| Description | Quisumbing, A. (Ed). 2003. Gender, Household Decisions, And Development: A Synthesis Of Recent Research. International Food Policy Research Institute.Many decisions that affect the well-being of individuals are made within families or households. The processes by which resources are allocated among individuals and the outcomes of those processes are commonly referred to as “intrahousehold resource allocation.” Since the early 1990s, a growing literature has paid increasing attention to the role that intrahousehold resource allocation plays in affecting the outcome of development policy. The growth of this literature has been catalyzed by many factors: (1) the development of new models of household decisionmaking; (2) an increased awareness that paying attention to intrahousehold allocation issues matters in the design and implementation of development policy; (3) the growing availability of data from developing and developed countries with which to test alternative household models; and (4) the use of qualitative methods, arising from increased collaboration with anthropologists and other social scientists, to understand non-economic dimensions of human behavior. The main objective of this book is to synthesize new knowledge on intrahousehold allocation, drawing from the gender and intrahousehold research program of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and based on specially-designed household surveys in developing country. |
