    This book synthesizes IFPRI's recent work on the role of gender in household decisionmaking in developing countries, provides evidence on how reducing gender gaps can contribute to improved food security, health, and nutrition in developing countries, and gives examples of interventions that actually work to reduce gender disparities.

    There is renewed interest in the intrahousehold allocation of welfare, particularly among economists studying poor countries where even slight differences in the allocation of household resources can have dramatic consequences on child and female nutrition, morbidity, and mortality (Haddad and Hoddinott 1994; Rose 1999; Dercon and Krishnan 2000). The evidence collected so far tends to demonstrate that the allocation of consumption and leisure among household members varies systematically with their relative contributions to household total income (Thomas 1990; Alderman et al.

     It is well recognized that secure land and property rights for all are essential to reducing poverty because they underpin economic development and social inclusion. Secure land tenure and property rights enable people in urban and rural areas to invest in improved homes and livelihoods. Although many countries have completely restructured their legal and regulatory framework related to land and they have tried to harmonize modern statutory law with customary ones, millions of people around the world still have insecure land tenure and property rights.

    This paper evaluates the impact of

    administration of marital property, removing the ability of
    a spouse to deny permission for the other to work outside

    This paper presents trends in monetary
    and nonmonetary dimensions of wellbeing in Ethiopia using
    data from the Household Consumption and Expenditure and
    Welfare Monitoring surveys implemented in 2000, 2005, and
    2011. The paper provides evidence on changes in overlapping
    deprivations using a non-index approach to multidimensional
    poverty. It assesses the performance of various dimensions
    in education, health, and living standards, taking one
