“…Housing, being the basic unit of analysis of urban life, is recognized as an important social determinant of health and well-being (Vásquez-Vera et al, 2023). Studies over time have explored the relationship between housing and well-being, including female perspectives, recognizing the crucial role of these perspectives (Baker et al, 2017;Kalabamu, 2006;Miled, 2020;Mubiru et al, 2022;Tang et al, 2022;Vásquez-Vera et al, 2023). These studies highlight a strong link between housing and individuals' mental, social and physical well-being.…”

The study investigated women's perceptions of their experiences of wellbeing and resilience in homes in Corane, Mozambique, adopting a qualitative, basic and descriptive approach. Initially, semistructured interviews were carried out with five women, in addition to a public workshop to hear the women's opinions and a twoday home immersion in a family headed by a woman. The results revealed several limitations faced by women in the Corane housing context. Issues related to durability, acoustics and comfort were identified as significant challenges with regard to the appropriate housing model. Furthermore, the urban insertion of housing showed deficiencies in public equipment, acoustic aspects, public safety, drainage and urban afforestation. The socioeconomic conditions of women were also addressed, highlighting restrictions related to income generation. An important contribution of the study was the presentation of fundamental solutions and strategies for gender-responsive housing models in Corane. By considering women's perspectives, these solutions can guide the redefinition of IDP resettlement programs in the future. However, despite the socioeconomic opportunities created, cultural issues still limit women's participation in income generation in Corane, often leaving them dependent. While divorced or single women actively seek to become selfsufficient, married women tend to depend more on exchanging products and donations.

“…The growth in Sub-Saharan urban population is characterized by differing gender, cultural, socio-economic status, and household headship. With such trends, it is paramount to understand how households make crucial choices concerning available housing options (Mubiru et al, 2022). Often, the poor tend to escape poverty by migrating out of rural areas.…”

The Influence of Household Endowment on Settlement Choices in Cameroon

Household endowment has become a strong determinant of settlement choices. In spite of this trend, a quantitative assessment of the association between household endowment and settlement choices for policy implication is negligible in Cameroon. This paper seeks to bridge this gap by providing evidence on the extent to which household endowment influences settlement choices in Cameroon, using data from Cameroon’s 2011 Demographic and Health Survey, supplemented with a multiple indicators cluster survey. The survey used a national sample of 14,214 households, with sub-samples of 15,426 women and 7,191 men. Three questionnaires were used to collect information for the survey: a household questionnaire, an individual women’s questionnaire, and an individual men’s questionnaire. Choice of settlement was the dependent variable; with urban settlement being the base category. The independent variables included income level measured as wealth index, educational attainment, occupation and other demographic factors. Data was analysed quantitatively using Stata 14 and the binary probit estimation technique. The results indicated that educational attainment, income, gender, age of head of household and household size had a positive influence on the likelihood of urban settlement choices; while marital status and occupations had a negative effect on the likelihood of urban settlement choices. Based on these results, it is recommended that the government should enhance the potentials of rural areas to make them more attractive for settlement, a situation which will reduce urban population pressure and attract rural development. Besides, the government should construct social infrastructures and amenities in the rural areas to hearten household choice of rural settlement.
