Abstract

ABSTRACT The study aims to reveal the impacts of land ownership on rural Bangladeshi women’s household incomes and decision-making capacity. Data were collected by using the Simple Random Sampling technique from the selected participants in Tangail district. The Propensity Score Matching (PSM) results demonstrate that land ownership had no significant impact on enhancing woman’s own income. The existing patriarchal norms restraint women from controlling their land; even their decision-making capacity regarding large purchase, crop cultivation, children’s well-being, and mobility remains very limited. Legislation concerning gender equal inheritance rights and longer action-plan for gender transformation are required for a change.

土地所有权真的能提高农村妇女的经济地位和决策能力吗？来自孟加拉国的证据

摘要本研究旨在揭示土地所有权对孟加拉国农村妇女家庭收入和决策能力的影响。数据是通过简单随机抽样技术从Tangail地区的选定参与者中收集的。倾向得分匹配结果表明，土地所有权对提高妇女自身收入没有显著影响。现有的父权制规范限制妇女控制自己的土地；即使是他们在大宗采购、作物种植、儿童福祉和流动性方面的决策能力也非常有限。需要制定关于两性平等继承权的立法和更长的性别转变行动计划。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Poverty is the first refereed journal to recognize the inequalities in our social, political, and economic structures, presenting progressing strategies that expand society"s increasingly narrow notions of poverty and inequality. The journal"s broad understanding of poverty—more inclusive than the traditional view—keeps the focus on people"s need for education, employment, safe and affordable housing, nutrition, and adequate medical care, and on interventions that range from direct practice to community organization to social policy analysis. The journal"s articles will increase your knowledge and awareness of oppressive forces such as racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia that contribute to the maintenance of poverty and inequality.
