Abstract
The paper, which serves as a gender
background paper for the 2021 Malawi Poverty Assessment, is
structured as follows. It first presents the data and
empirical strategy. Chapter two presents poverty data and
discusses the intersection of poverty and gender. Poverty by
household composition is essential for understanding
gendered differences in poverty. From there, chapter three
explores gender disparities in economic opportunities,
following the analytical framework cited earlier. The
authors will then move to potential drivers of economic
outcomes: endowments (chapter four) and agency (chapter
five). The last section offers conclusions.
