It employs the family as the main unit of analysis because a large part of gender interactions occurs within this institution. This survey first summarizes recent studies on the distribution of power within the family and identifies several factors that have altered the bargaining position of men and women over the last decades. It then reviews empirical work on the contribution of men, as fathers and husbands, to the health and socioeconomic outcomes of women in both developed and developing countries. Finally, it discusses a set of economic policies that have intentionally or unintentionally affected men's attitudes and behaviors. The main implication is that policies meant to achieve gender equality should focus on men rather than exclusively target women.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABORTIONABUSEACCESS TO CONTRACEPTIONACCESS TO CONTRACEPTIVESACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCESS TO HEALTH CAREAIDS EPIDEMICALCOHOL ABUSEALLOCATION OF RESOURCESANTENATAL CAREBOTH SEXESCAPACITY BUILDINGCHILD CARECHILD LABORCHILD MORTALITYCHILDBEARINGCOMBAT GENDERCONTRACEPTIONCONTRACEPTIVE METHODSCONTRACEPTIVE USEDELIVERY COMPLICATIONSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT POLICYDISCRIMINATIONDISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMENDISEASESDIVORCEDOMESTIC ABUSEDOMESTIC VIOLENCEEARLY MARRIAGEEARLY MARRIAGESEARLY PREGNANCYECONOMIC EMPOWERMENTECONOMIC POLICIESECONOMIC RESOURCESECONOMIC RIGHTSEDUCATED WOMENEDUCATION FOR GIRLSEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEMPOWERING WOMENEMPOWERMENT OF WOMENEXPERIENCED VIOLENCEFAMILY COMPOSITIONFAMILY FORMATIONFAMILY HEALTHFAMILY MEMBERSFAMILY PLANNINGFAMILY PLANNING EDUCATIONFAMILY PLANNING PROGRAMSFAMILY PLANNING SERVICESFAMILY RESOURCESFAMILY SIZEFEMALE CHILDRENFEMALE EDUCATIONFEMALE LABOR FORCEFERTILITY BEHAVIORFERTILITY CONTROLFERTILITY DECLINEFERTILITY PREFERENCESFERTILITY REGULATIONFORMS OF DISCRIMINATIONGENDER BIASGENDER DIFFERENCESGENDER DISCRIMINATIONGENDER DISPARITIESGENDER EQUALITYGENDER EQUITYGENDER GAPGENDER INEQUALITYGENDER INEQUITYGENDER NORMSGENDER POLICYGENDER RELATIONSGENDER ROLESGENDER STEREOTYPESGIRL CHILDRENHEALTH CAREHEALTH EDUCATIONHEALTH INTERVENTIONSHEALTH SERVICESHIGH FERTILITY RATEHIVHOSPITALHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD WORKHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RIGHTSHUSBANDSIMMUNIZATIONIMPACT ON GIRLSIMPORTANCE OF EDUCATIONINCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIESINFANTINHERITANCEINTERNATIONAL FAMILY PLANNINGJOURNAL OF MARRIAGEKINSHIPLABOR MARKETLABOR SUPPLYLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLIFESTYLESLOW FERTILITYLOWER FERTILITYMALE PARTNERSMARITAL STATUSMARRIED WOMENMASCULINITYMATERNAL DEATHMATERNAL HEALTHMATERNAL HEALTH CAREMATERNAL MORTALITYMATERNITY LEAVEMEN AT RISKMINORITYMODERN CONTRACEPTIONMONOGAMYMOTHERNUMBER OF WOMENNUTRITIONOBSTETRIC COMPLICATIONSOLD AGEORAL CONTRACEPTIVESPARENTAL LEAVEPATERNITY LEAVEPEACEPENSIONSPOLICIES ON GENDERPOLICY ANALYSISPOLICY DISCUSSIONSPOLICY LEVELPOLICY MAKERSPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERPOLITICAL PARTICIPATIONPOOR GIRLSPOOR HEALTHPOPULATION AND DEVELOPMENTPOPULATION RESEARCHPOPULATION STUDIESPREFERENCE FOR SONSPREGNANCIESPREGNANCYPRENATAL SEX SELECTIONPREVENTION METHODSPRIVATE LIFEPROGRESSPUBLIC EDUCATIONPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC OPINIONPUBLIC SPHERERAPEREGIONAL INEQUALITIESREGULATORY BARRIERSREPRODUCTIVE CYCLEREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CAREREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH INTERVENTIONSREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH POLICIESREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH PROGRAMSREPRODUCTIVE NEEDSREPRODUCTIVE PREFERENCESREPRODUCTIVE PROCESSREPRODUCTIVE RIGHTSREPRODUCTIVE ROLESRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESPECTRESPONSIBILITY OF MENROLE MODELSROLE OF WOMENRURAL AREASSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOLSSERVICE PROVIDERSSEXSEX RATIOSEX RATIOSSEX SELECTIVE ABORTIONSSEX-SELECTIVE ABORTIONSEXUAL ASSAULTSEXUAL BEHAVIORSEXUAL HARASSMENTSEXUAL HEALTHSOCIAL CHANGESOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL IMPACTSOCIAL NORMSSOCIAL PROGRESSSOCIAL SCIENCESOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL STATUSSOCIOECONOMIC PROGRESSSOCIOECONOMIC STATUSSON PREFERENCESPOUSESPOUSESSTATUS OF WOMENTEENTELEVISIONTRANSPORTATIONTVUNEQUAL POWERUNEQUAL POWER RELATIONSUNITED NATIONS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON POPULATIONUNMET CONTRACEPTIVE NEEDURBAN AREASUSE OF CONTRACEPTIONVICIOUS CYCLEVICTIMSVIOLENCE AGAINST GIRLSVIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENVULNERABILITYWARWOMANWORLD ASSEMBLYYOUNG CHILDRENWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-6323
