In Her Name: Measuring the Gender Asset Gap a Pilot Study to Collect Sex-Disaggregated Asset Data in Ecuador, Ghana, and India
| It is increasingly recognized that ownership, access, and control over productive assets is an important determinant of a woman's wellbeing. Indeed, a woman's assets not only contribute to her individual wellbeing, but also that of the entire household, especially the future of her children. However, little data is available either as benchmarks or to understand the extent of women’s lack of asset ownership. We address these gaps in three different countries and settings: Ecuador, India, and Ghana, with an overarching goal of enabling sex-disaggregated asset data collection in national and international household surveys. |
