Gender and decision making in Balinese agriculture

Abstract: To be analytically useful, the concept of the division of labor needs to take into account decision making as a gendered activity. Decision making is all-important in the retinue of agricultural activities, but gender dynamics in various social units differentially affect the participation of women in it. In Bali, households and irrigation communities, called subak, each manage different aspects of rice cultivation. Distinct sets of factors account for the dissimilar participation of women and men in decision … Show more

“…Since decision making precedes the undertaking of any form of action, it is a crucial activity within the sphere of economy. Although anthropologists, especially those concerned with economic anthropology, have paid attention to decision making in firms and households (e.g., Barlett 1980aBarlett , 1980bBarlett , 1989Cancian 1980;Gladwin 1980;Jha 2004;Ortiz 1970Ortiz , 1980Ortiz , 2005Wilk 1987), the subject of decision and choice has not been as salient as topics such as production, work, or consumption. Rather, the subject has tended to be dealt with indirectly (for a recent discussion, see Hann and Hart 2011), and only occasionally explicitly within the field of economic anthropology.…”

“…This ignorance happened while the role of women in crop production has been considered as the foundation of studies regarding women's participation in the development process since 1970s (e.g., Barrientos et al 2005;Birah et al 2016;Carr 2005;Egharevba and Iweze 2004;Jha 2004;Kerr et al 2007;Lope-Alzina 2007). Women provide half of the world food production and agricultural labor (FAO 2009), while they have a limited access to essential production resources, such as land, labor, and inputs (FAO 2010;World Bank 2007).…”

“…Although different studies (e.g., Barrientos et al 2005;Birah et al 2016;Carr 2005;Egharevba and Iweze 2004;Jha 2004;Kerr et al 2007;Lope-Alzina 2007) provide valuable information regarding the role of women in agroecosystems sustainability, the wide gap in gender-based energy analysis has not been noted yet. This ignorance is not rational, while the excessive energy usage (Roy et al 2009;Tandon and Singh 2009) in agro-ecosystems has profound and alarming effects on the environment and human health (Haas et al 2001;Ju et al 2009;Wood et al 2006;Zhang et al 2013).…”

“…A growing body of literature reveals that households are not necessarily homogeneous units with unified interests and that to understand the significance of gender in farming and in development a more complex understanding of intra-household dynamics is needed (Bossen 1989, Bridger 1996, Crewe and Harrison 1998, Dixon 1985, Guyer 1986, Henderson 1995, Heyzer 1986, Holzner 2008, Jha 2004, MacPhail and Bowles 1989, Morell 2007, Pine 1996, Poats et al 1988, Quisimbing et al 1995, van Koppen 2000, Shortall 2002). …”
