“…There is evidence that, among grandmothers, grandfathers, and mothers, only the grandmothers are less happy when they have to take the role of the head of the family. This evidence is inconsistent with that of Klasen, Lechtenfeld and Povel (2011). By using the amount of money each household spend in each day as the measure of the consumption (or wealth), Klasen et al (2011) provide evidence that female-headed households in Burirum, Ubon Rachathani, and Nakhon Phanom are richer than maleheaded households.…”

Abstract-In this study, two research questions "what is the level of villagers' happiness?" and "which factors influence their happiness?" are posed. To address these two research questions, this study uses mixed-methods research approach. Field survey, interview, and questionnaire are performed to collect both qualitative and quantitative data. Final sample includes 155 people.Unlike previous studies which classified their sample according to age and sex, this study classifies its sample into six groups according to their duty of life. The six groups include grandmothers, grandfathers, mothers, fathers, daughters, and sons. It is found that grandmothers are less happy when they have to take the role of the head of the family. Going to pray at the temple only increases the mothers' happiness. Interestingly, there is contradictory evidence of the extent to which loan influences grandparents' happiness. Having a loan makes grandmothers happier but grandfathers less happy. On the other hand, the greater amount of loan they have leads the grandmothers to be less happy but leads the grandfathers to be happier. Grandfathers' happiness is also associated with family relationship and social activities. Interestingly, having hobby makes the grandfathers less happy.

“…Segundo, la desigualdad de género persiste en la propiedad de ganado, donde los hombres son dueños del ganado mayor como bovinos y equinos, en tanto las mujeres son propietarias de ganado menor como cabras u ovejas, y aves de corral (ARRIAGA et al, 2005;NJUKI;SANGINGA, 2013). Tercero, tienen un limitado acceso al mercado formal de crédito, lo cual se relaciona con la falta del título de propiedad (KLASEN; LECHTENFELD; POVEL, 2015;FLATØ;MUTTARAK;PELSER, 2017). Cuarto, presentan menores niveles de escolaridad en comparación con los hombres LAMANNA, 2009;TANWIR;SAFDAR, 2013).…”

“…Al respecto, Klasen y Lamanna (2009) señalan que promover la educación de las mujeres reduce los niveles de fertilidad, de mortalidad infantil y promueve la educación de la próxima generación. Quinto, tienen menos acceso al mercado de trabajo y menores salarios que los hombres cuando trabajan (OOSTENDORP, 2009;LECHTENFELD;POVEL, 2015). Sexto, tienen acceso limitado a las tecnologías de la información y comunicación (FLATØ; MUTTARAK; PELSER, 2017).…”

Los hogares rurales diversifican sus ingresos como estrategia para minimizar los riesgos, reducir la variabilidad y asegurar un nivel mínimo de ingreso. Con información panel de la Encuesta Nacional a Hogares Rurales de México, el presente estudio examina, bajo una perspectiva de género, los factores que determinan la participación en el sector no agropecuario. Los resultados señalan que en las ocupaciones asalariadas no agropecuarias, los hombres participan con menores niveles de escolaridad y la condición de indígena limita la incorporación de ambos géneros. En actividades no agropecuarias por cuenta propia son esenciales la riqueza acumulada del hogar y los servicios financieros, de comunicación y transporte.

Feminization of Poverty

The “feminization of poverty” has been a longstanding, if deeply contested, trope in gender and development (GAD) discourse since the mid‐1990s. This entry traces the origins of the term and provides a critical review of some of the key debates which have occurred around its theoretical assumptions and empirical bases. Particular attention is paid to methodological and data difficulties in substantiating trends in the “feminization of poverty,” to the problems of its purported links with a virtually ubiquitous increase in the number and share of households headed by women in global south regions, and to the quandaries presented by the “feminization” of poverty reduction programs nominally designed to change poverty's predominantly “female face.” Support for more gender‐sensitive, multidimensional approaches to poverty which go beyond income to embrace other factors relevant to women's disadvantage, such as time and power, is indicated to enhance empirical and conceptual robustness and policy responses alike.
