Understanding nutritional outcomes through gendered analysis of time-use patterns in semi-arid India

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to understand individual nutritional outcomes through an examination of gendered time use patterns. The analysis of the data from eight villages in the Semi-Arid Tropics (SAT), India confirm previous conclusions about the gendered influence of agricultural interventions, especially time demands on the rural poor. Agricultural interventions in the harsh, drought-prone environment of the SAT tend to increase the time burden on women. Sociological perspectives indicate that changes … Show more

“…As indicated by various authors, domestic responsibilities, such as childcare and caring for the sick, water and firewood collection, and cooking, are usually in the female domain; the cultural norms remain strong, dictating the role of the woman into reproductive responsibilities while excluding the man.

Women also participate in farm activities, but differences in time allocation can be observed depending on age, education, and social group.…”

“…Time-use analysis studies by researchers, such as [34,35], also show that women though are engaged in more unpaid work, but adding paid work outside the home adds to their burden. In addition to this, there is strong evidence that feminization in agriculture is happening as more women time is being spent on agricultural activities even though their wage rates are low [36].…”

“…Men's outmigration may create space for women to engage in agricultural management (Padmaja et al 2019). This includes not only primary agricultural production, but also marketing of agricultural products, negotiating labor contracts, supervising hired male labor, and interacting with extension and municipality agents.…”
