An Investigation of the Household Economy: Coffee Production and Gender Relations in Papua New Guinea
利用巴布亚新几内亚高地两年的家庭内部数据,研究性别关系如何影响家庭咖啡生产,发现女性劳动回报低和任务分配不均是家庭咖啡种植成功与否的关键因素。
Using two years of intra‐household data from one area of the Papua New Guinea Highlands this article examines the impact of gender relations on household coffee production. Poor relative labour returns for women and the unequal distribution of tasks within the household were found to exert considerable influence on the level of household success in cultivating coffee. The article concludes with the construction of a model linking the intra‐household distribution of economic benefits, determinants of household resource allocation and underdevelopment.
