We decompose poverty-inequality linkages of sources of deprivation by men-headed and women-headed households in Cameroon. Results indicate that (a) women-headed and gender-neutral households face more human and household capital deprivation and higher levels of inequality than their men-headed counterparts; and (b) whereas decreasing inequality between the men-headed and women-headed households would reduce the incidence and depth of human capital deprivation, reducing inequality among the men-and women-headed households will reduce the incidence and depth of household capital deprivation. Policies should simultaneously reduce household capital deprivations among men-headed and women-headed and human capital deprivation between these households.
Abstract
We decompose poverty-inequality linkages of sources of deprivation by men-headed and women-headed households in Cameroon. Results indicate that (a) women-headed and gender-neutral households face more human and household capital deprivation and higher levels of inequality than their men-headed counterparts; and (b) whereas decreasing inequality between the men-headed and women-headed households would reduce the incidence and depth of human capital deprivation, reducing inequality among the men-and women-headed households will reduce the incidence and depth of household capital deprivation. Policies should simultaneously reduce household capital deprivations among men-headed and women-headed and human capital deprivation between these households.
