Abstract
|
|
|
|
| This chapter crossreads among feminist economics, intrahousehold allocation and climate change literature to study intrahousehold decision-making processes regarding adaptation in Morogoro region. Using an Actor-Partner Interdependence Model and data from 41 focus groups and a survey with 340 couples, it investigates how spouses influence each other’s adaptation decision-making power. The analysis uncovers the role played by both wives’ and husbands’ income generating activities, independent asset ownership, educational level and life cycle elements. Findings highlight that the most influential drivers of women’s adaptation decision-making power are working outside of the home, especially when their husbands are not; higher educational levels, and being married to a husband with higher educational levels: owning physical assets in their own names; and particularly being older grants women more voice. |
