Abstract

Though much scholarly attention has been paid to the emergence of female-headed households in Latin America, there is debate over where to place these households within discussions of poverty and resource deprivation. Two issues complicate this debate: first, the lack of multi-resource models in quantitative analyses to fully assess types of resource accumulation, and second, the broad failure for analyses of female-headed households to differentiate between different kinds of female-heads of household. This research note employs the operationalization and regression analysis of four different types of resource capital to evaluate relative levels across age-differentiated female-heads of households. Specifically, resource holdings of female-heads ages 18–44, 45–59, and 60 and older are compared across five measures of monetary, physical (two measures), social, and human capital. Findings indicate areas of deprivation, but no consistent lack of resources in one age group. Using theoretical and methodological foundations derived from the independent scholarship of González de la Rocha, Moser, and Rakodi, the analysis and results of resource capital in this study are discussed through a lens of equal vulnerability, rather than a lens of equally effective survival strategies.
理论和方法考虑
虽然学术界对拉丁美洲出现的女性为户主的家庭给予了很大的关注,但在讨论贫穷和资源剥夺问题时如何看待这些家庭仍存在争议。有两个问题使这场辩论复杂化:第一,在定量分析中缺乏多资源模型,无法充分评估资源积累的类型;第二,对女户主家庭的分析普遍未能区分不同类型的女户主。本研究报告采用四种不同类型资源资本的操作化和回归分析来评估不同年龄女性户主的相对水平。具体来说,对年龄在18-44岁、45-59岁和60岁及以上的女性的资源持有量进行了五项指标的比较,包括货币、物质(两项指标)、社会和人力资本。调查结果表明,在某些领域存在资源匮乏,但在某一年龄组中并没有持续缺乏资源。利用来自González de la Rocha, Moser和Rakodi独立学术的理论和方法基础,本研究中的资源资本分析和结果是通过平等脆弱性的视角来讨论的,而不是通过同样有效的生存策略的视角。
