The Journal of Human Resources, Vol. 25, No. 4 (Autumn, 1990), pp. 635-664. Resource Allocation Within the Household. In this section we examine decisions about the allocation of resources within the household. We can think about allocation decisions as they pertain to consumption (cf., anthropological studies of food consumption), asset allocation, and investments in children, but we will focus in particular on allocation decisions regarding children.
I want first to go over some of the common elements and issues found in economic perspectives on these questions. Then I'll provide a verbal (i.e., nontechnical) review of a few representative studies and their findings. Subsequently, we'll look at evidence from Kinshasa on some related issues, including resource transfers across households. Economic perspectives on resource allocation within the family A common feature of economists' studies of resource allocation within the household is the presence of interdependent utility functions. An alternative criterion would be to base allocation decisions on efficiency. MUh * MPch + MUc = p - MPhw * MPch . Power-of-purse.pdf. India women spending 30% The Female Economy - Sponsored by SAS. Globally, they control about $20 trillion in annual consumer spending, and that figure could climb as high as $28 trillion in the next five years.
Their $13 trillion in total yearly earnings could reach $18 trillion in the same period. In aggregate, women represent a growth market bigger than China and India combined—more than twice as big, in fact. Given those numbers, it would be foolish to ignore or underestimate the female consumer. And yet many companies do just that, even ones that are confident they have a winning strategy when it comes to women. Consider Dell’s short-lived effort to market laptops specifically to women. Most companies have much to learn about selling to women. Here’s what we found, in brief: Women feel vastly underserved. It’s still tough for women to find a pair of pants, buy a healthful meal, get financial advice without feeling patronized, or make the time to stay in shape. Meanwhile, women are increasingly gaining influence in the work world. EASSDA. Wcms_233096.pdf. Unit 1: A conceptual framework for gender analysis and planning:gender roles.

Gender roles Gender roles Gender roles are learned behaviours in a given society/community or other social group that condition which activities, tasks and responsibilities are perceived as male or female. Gender roles vary considerably across settings and also change over time. Age class race ethnicity religion and other ideologies geographical environment economic environment political environmentTypes of gender roles The concept of gender roles has been developed from the work of Caroline Moser.
Gender planning recognises that in most societies low-income women have a triple role: women undertake reproductive, productive, and community managing activities, while men primarily undertake productive and community politics activities. 131157. 131157.
