This paper implements a methodology to produce disaggregated estimates of inequality in three developing countries: Ecuador, Madagascar and Mozambique.
The impacts that corporate cotton production may have on men and women's ability to control household resources is examined. Traditionally, land in the region of Mozambique studied here has been inherited via matrilinear descent. As a result women have traditionally had a great deal of control over the production of both cash and subsistence crops. Women wield a great deal of power over income due to their contribution to cotton production. The introduction of corporate cotton production has provided men with access to their own land for cotton production. It is feared that this increased production of cash crops by men may take some power away from women in terms of their influence over decisions regarding family income.
