利用加纳四轮横截面数据,检验关于农业中女性角色的传统观点是否随时间变化,发现这些观点并非总是成立,且性别差异在不同主题、生态区、族群和家庭类型中变化显著。

Abstract

Abstract Many stylized facts about women in agriculture have been repeated for decades. Did nothing really change? Is some of this conventional wisdom simply maintained over time, or has it always been inaccurate? We use four rounds of cross‐sectional data from Ghana to assess some of the facts and to evaluate whether gender patterns have changed over time. We focus on five main themes: land, cropping patterns, market participation, agricultural inputs, and employment. We add to the literature by showing new facts and evidence for more than 20 years. Results show that stylized facts do not always hold, and that some of these “facts” change over time. We find significant variation in the extent of (changes in) gender discrepancies across themes, different agro‐ecological zones, ethnicities, household types, and women's role in the household.
