Gender

About

This section on agriculture is further subdivided in sub-sections around key topics and policy debates. Section a. provides some key reports and data on issues of gender and agriculture. Section b. includes papers on a topic which has received a lot of attention in the past decade—whether there are productivity differences between male and female farmers, and what might explain these differences.  Doss (2015) provides a nice overview of these debates.  Section c. provides references for analyses of key asset differences in agriculture, including some of those highlighted in the productivity debate.  Section d. includes papers looking at both the way that gender relations in agriculture may affect intrahousehold bargaining and the converse—how intrahousehold relations may affect relations in agriculture.  Finally, section e. includes one paper looking at the important, but understudied, issue of care in rural households.
