“…Women reported higher levels of participation in decision-making for when and how to tend the crops, land purchase and sale, and credit requests for agricultural investment. This is consistent with an early study by Sajogyo et al (1979) who reported that women in West Java were influential in major household investment decisions such as a This variable is generated based on the differences between husband's and wife's answers related to whether or not he/she/the family is a member of any agricultural organisation. The value of 0 means that husband and wife have the same answers, which is both said "yes" or both said "no" b This variable is generated using PCA for 14 assets owned by each household (mobile phone, internet, vehicle, and some farm-productionrelated assets)…”

“…A clear division of labour by gender was observed with women occupied with weeding and pruning and men with land preparation and various chemical input applications, consistent with gender stereotypes of women being detail-oriented and careful and of men being strong (Koning et al 2000). Women are also perceived as better at managing financial resources, with women influencing decisions on major household and land investments (Sajogyo et al 1979).…”

“…A few studies on women's participation in decision-making and its welfare impacts focus on urban areas (Frankenberg and Thomas 2001;Jayachandran 2020;Rammohan and Johar 2009), while those looking into rural areas are limited and more focused on farm labour division by gender (see e.g. Jha 2004;Sajogyo et al 1979;White 1984).…”

Social norms and perceptions drive women’s participation in agricultural decisions in West Java, Indonesia

Increasing women’s participation in intrahousehold decision-making has been linked with increased agricultural productivity and economic development. Existing studies focus on identifying the decision-maker and exploring factors affecting women’s participation, yet the context in which households make decisions is generally ignored. This paper narrows this gap by investigating perceptions of women's participation and the roles of social norms in agricultural decision-making. It specifically applies a fine-scale quantitative responses tool and constructs a women’s participation index (WPI) to measure men’s and women’s perceptions regarding women’s participation in decisions about 21 agricultural activities. The study further examines the correlation between social norms in these perceptions as measured by the WPI for 439 couples in West Java, Indonesia. We find that first, men and women have different perceptions about women's decision-making in agricultural activities, but the same perceptions of the types of activities in which women have the most and the least participation. Second, joint decisions come in various combinations but overall, the women’s role is smaller. Third, social norms influence spouses' perceptions of decision-making participation, which explains most of the variation of the WPI. These results suggest that rigorous consideration of social norms is required to understand intrahousehold decision-making.

“…In effect it assumed that women in rural areas did not participate in development activities that were carried by men. These misperceptions about the lack of participation of rural women in rural economies were strongly challenged at the time by the feminist researchers (Gulati 1978;Staudt 1978;Mazumdar 1979;Okeyo 1979;Sajogyo et al 1979;Smock 1979;Guyer 1980;McSweeney and Freedman 1980).…”
