- W2225821476 abstract "This study examines the economic role of women in households in Ghana and the implications for child and household welfare. Data are obtained from the 1987/88 Ghana Living Standards Survey (GLSS) among households. Generally more than one member makes economic contributions to a household in Ghana. It is argued that focusing on headship alone may give a misleading view of the division of economic responsibilities within households. The literature review points out that women typically have less land capital access to credit and education than men. Women also are less productive in turning time into cash income. Coresidence with other adults provides women with greater access to cash income and a larger pool of labor for sharing domestic chores. The issue is minimizing disadvantage rather than maximizing advantage. The question is what features of household headship and division of economic responsibility contribute to economic vulnerability. Data quality tests of expenditure and consumption data indicate underestimation due to recall error. 29.2% of households were headed by women. Almost 50% of households headed by working-age women had no other adult present. 66% had no working-age male. In 70% of male-headed households wives had the primary economic role and all of the domestic role. The poorest households had older heads or widowed heads. The least poor households were headed by married women with female sole authority and spousal support. Consumption was highest in households where women were co-heads or primary heads. Female households that were better off had women as the main cash workers with direct access to resources. Households with older heads had lower levels of adjusted expenditure. Households with older male heads and a shared main worker role were worse off than female-headed households." @default.
