Critical Acclaim
‘How resources are distributed within households is notoriously difficult to analyse. The 15 chapters of this book offer a remarkable review of the conceptual and methodological challenges faced and the advances in research on intra-household management and allocation of resources, the importance of the issues raised and their implications for the assessment of individual economic well-being, autonomy and living conditions, and for public policies. This is essential reading.’
