“…In the literature on intrahousehold economics, only a few authors explicitly recognize the importance of social norms and model them. Of those that do, some treat them as exogenous (Lundberg and Pollak 1993), while a few recognize the possibility of their being endogenous (e.g., Agarwal 1994a;Folbre 1995Folbre , 1997Hart 1993;Katz 1996).…”

“…Conventionally, economists assume that individual preferences and social norms are exogenously given. In bargaining models, too, when social norms have been introduced as factors, as by Lundberg and Pollak (1993), they have been assumed to be exogenous, although rare analytical descriptions recognize their endogeneity (Folbre 1995;Agarwal 1994a). In fact, social norms are not immutable and are themselves subject to bargaining and change, even if the time horizon for changing some types of norms may be a long one.…”

“…If a husband becomes incapacitated, loses his source of employment, or loses access to resources for income generation, the wife may become the de facto household head. Women in polygamous marriages may experience limited access to their husband's resources and consequently become de facto household heads because they must bear the responsibility for providing for the children as well as themselves (Folbre 1991).…”

“…The variation is attibuted to different locations (rural and urban) and different interpretations of what constitutes women-headed households (Lycette 1994;International Affairs 1995;Gibbings 1996;Swift 1996). In Kenya, the percentage of women-headed households increased from 22% of all households in 1980in , to 39% in 1990in (Barnes 1983African News 1995;Folbre 1995). These women are either widowed, divorced, separated, or never married, but they assume full responsibility for the well-being of the people with whom they share residence (Social Statistics and Indicators 1995).…”

“…El parentesco, el sexo, la edad y la habilidad 5 de los miembros de la familia son dimensiones importantes que han de tomarse en cuenta no sólo respecto de la estructura de los hogares sino también respecto de la capacidad de negociación, la toma de decisiones y el acceso y uso de recursos materiales y simbólicos dentro del hogar. El sesgo de género se manifiesta en el acceso a la propiedad de la tierra y de la vivienda, y en tos contratos y arreglos implícitos y explícitos acerca de la distribución de recursos dentro de la familia, los que tienen un impacto mayor en las instituciones sociales y en la perpetuación de las diferencias(Folbre, 1995).La desigualdad dentro de la familia es por lo tanto un tema reciente y guarda relación con los estudios de género y con el interés por mejorar las condiciones de vida de las mujeres y los niños. 6 La extrema carga laboral de las mujeres y el tiempo que ellas destinan al trabajo doméstico, así como el trabajo de niños y adolescentes en épocas de crisis, pusieron en tela de juicio la distribución del poder dentro del hogar, junto con la distribución del trabajo doméstico entre los miembros de la familia y la forma de compatibilizar estas labores, especialmente en los hogares pobres, con el trabajo fuera del hogar.…”
