Abstract

This study examines correlates of household welfare in female-headed households in three countries of sub-Saharan Africa – Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe – using data from the 2004 wave of the Afrobarometer survey (n = 3525). More specifically, we assess the role government interventions and informal assistance might play in predicting household welfare. The association between female headship of a household and aspirations for child future outcomes is also examined. Study findings suggest country variations in experiences of welfare and perception of child outcomes. We also note that certain individual and household characteristics are linked to both household welfare and perception of child outcomes. Practice and policy implications are suggested.

撒哈拉以南非洲女性户主家庭的福利和儿童结果预测指标
本研究利用2004年非洲晴雨表调查(n = 3525)的数据,考察了撒哈拉以南非洲三个国家(坦桑尼亚、赞比亚和津巴布韦)女性户主家庭福利的相关因素。更具体地说,我们评估了政府干预和非正式援助在预测家庭福利方面可能发挥的作用。还研究了女性担任家庭户主与对儿童未来成就的期望之间的关系。研究结果表明,各国在福利经历和对儿童成果的看法方面存在差异。我们还注意到,某些个人和家庭特征与家庭福利和对儿童成果的看法有关。对实践和政策的影响提出建议。
