In Indonesia, much of the oil palm land is cultivated by smallholder farmers. While household income effects of oil palm cultivation were analyzed in previous studies, effects on intra-household gender roles are not yet well understood. Here, we use sex-disaggregated survey data from farm households in Sumatra to examine how oil palm cultivation – in comparison to cultivating traditional crops – is associated with women’s and men’s time allocation and decision-making power. Women in oil palm cultivating households spend much less time in farming and more time for household chores and leisure than women in households only cultivating traditional crops. These differences increase with the share of the farm area under oil palm, as oil palm requires less labor than traditional crops. While a reduction in women’s workload can have positive social effects, lower involvement in farming can also be associated with a loss in female autonomy. Indeed, our data suggest that oil palm cultivation is associated with women having less decision-making power in terms of farm management and income control. These insights can help to design policies for more gender-equitable rural development."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.foodpol.2022.102276"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/116317"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation","SFB 990: Ökologische und sozioökonomische Funktionen tropischer Tieflandregenwald-Transformationssysteme (Sumatra, Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C07: Einflussfaktoren von Landnutzungswandel und sozioökonomische Auswirkungen für ländliche Haushalte"],["dc.relation.issn","0306-9192"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_journalarticles"],["dc.title","What about her?

One particular focus is on the role of different types of nutrition knowledge. The analysis builds on household-level and individual-level data collected in urban Kenya in 2012 and 2015. Various regression models are developed and estimated. Results show that maternal nutrition knowledge – measured through an aggregate knowledge score – is positively associated with child HAZ, even after controlling for other influencing factors such as household living standard and general maternal education. However, disaggregation by type of knowledge reveals important differences. Maternal knowledge about food ingredients only has a weak positive association with child HAZ. For maternal knowledge about specific dietary recommendations, no significant association is detected. The strongest positive association with child HAZ is found for maternal knowledge about the health consequences of not following recommended dietary practices. These findings have direct relevance for nutrition and health policies, especially for designing the contents of educational campaigns and training programs."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.appet.2017.05.042"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/12882"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","GRO-Li-Import"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.doi","10.1016/j.appet.2017.05.042"],["dc.relation.issn","0195-6663"],["dc.relation.issn","0195-6663"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Department für Agrarökonomie und Rurale Entwicklung"],["dc.title","Maternal nutrition knowledge and child nutritional outcomes in urban Kenya"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Fostering female employment is often seen as an avenue to serve both these goals, especially if it helps to empower the mothers of undernourished children. However, maternal employment can influence child nutrition through different mechanisms, and the net effect may not necessarily be positive. We develop a theoretical model to show that maternal employment can affect child nutrition through changes in income, intrahousehold bargaining power, and time available for childcare. The links are analyzed empirically using panel data from farm households in rural Tanzania. We find that the links between maternal employment and child height‐for‐age Z‐scores (HAZ) are non‐linear. Off‐farm employment is negatively associated with child HAZ at low levels of labor supply. The association turns positive at higher levels of labor supply and negative again at very high levels. The associations between maternal on‐farm work and child nutrition are weaker and not statistically significant. These findings can help to better design development interventions that foster synergies and avoid potential tradeoffs between female empowerment and child nutrition goals."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/ajae.12113"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/81641"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-399"],["dc.publisher","Wiley Periodicals, Inc."],["dc.relation.eissn","1467-8276"],["dc.relation.issn","0002-9092"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Department für Agrarökonomie und Rurale Entwicklung"],["dc.rights","This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution‐NonCommercial License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited and is not used for commercial purposes."],["dc.title","Links between Maternal Employment and Child Nutrition in Rural Tanzania"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
