Gender Gaps in Landownership across and within Households in Four Asian Countries
利用孟加拉国、塔吉克斯坦、东帝汶和越南的全国代表性数据，研究个人和家庭特征如何影响男女在家庭间和家庭内的土地所有权，发现已婚女性在所有国家都拥有土地，但女性拥有的土地少于男性，且随着家庭土地持有量增加，女性土地占比下降。
Using nationally representative data from Bangladesh, Tajikistan, Timor-Leste, and Vietnam, this paper investigates which individual and household characteristics influence men’s and women’s landownership across and within households. Often neglected in household-level statistics, married women in all countries are landowners. Across different household structures, women own less land than men, and less land relative to the household average as household landholdings increase. Increasing gender inequality with household wealth cannot be consistently explained by an increasing share of household land devoted to crops. Findings support the need to strengthen women’s land rights within marriage and to protect them should the marriage dissolve. <i></i>
