1 What about the Women? Female Headship, Poverty and Vulnerability in Thailand and Vietnam Tobias Lechtenfeld with Stephan Klasen and Felix Povel January 2011 OECD Conference, Paris
2 Thailand and Vietnam Study Area
3 Female-Headed Households Thailand Vietnam Population 63 Million 85 Million 25% of population in SE Asia Female Head 29.3% 17.4% in rural areas GDP Growth 7.4% 8.1% since mid-80s, annually Poverty 40% 74% headcount 1985 Reduction 12% 22% headcount 2008 Poverty reduction by 2/3 in only 2 decades How inclusive has growth been for typically poor and vulnerable groups: Female Headed Households, incl. Single Mothers, Widows?
4 Female-Headed Households 1. Theory Why could Female Headed Households be vulnerable? 2. Methods Poverty traps and Vulnerability 3. Data Households in Thailand and Vietnam 4. Results Shocks, Poverty traps and Income sources
5 Theory Why could Female Headed Households be most vulnerable? A. Differences between men and women (Gender-related Economic Gap) limited access to markets B. Differences between Male- and Female-Headed Households work burden lack of support
6 Theory A. Differences between men and women (Gender-related Economic Gap) access to land dominated by men, if female ownership, much smaller inheritance and land titling laws direct income effect (World Bank, 2007) formal credit markets (King et al., 2007) lack of collateral (Storey, 2004; Diagne et al., 2000) hard to start own business (King et al., 2007; Blackden Bhanu, 1999) insurance markets hardly functioning for men and women alike BUT: impact stronger for women lack of pension system lack of health insurance often access only through spouses (World Bank, 2001)
7 Theory A. Differences between men and women (cont) labour market different wages differential access to wage employment (Collier, 1994) less productive in employment girls receive less schooling (World Bank, 2001) less work experience (social stigma against labour) (King et al., 2007) less productive in farming adopt new production technology less likely (Chirwa, 2005; Asfaw and Admassie, 2004)
8 Theory B. Differences between Male- and Female-Headed Households double day burden handle domestic work and the role of main earner simultaneously (Moghadam, 1997). time and mobility constraints impacts negatively households income (Buvinic and Gupta, 1997). lack of support from social networks reduced family network to draw on (Bibars, 2001; Chant, 2008)
9 Empirical Evidence Poverty situation of female headed households Quisumbing et al.(2001): 10 country analysis, comparable methods Only in 2 of 10 countries FHH more poor Buvinic and Gupta (1997): review of 61 studies on FHH In 38 studies FHH more poor In 15 studies some FHH type more poor In 8 studies no evidence of increased poverty Situation largely country specific Lampietti and Stalker (2000), Ye (1998), and Haddad et al. (1996)

20 Analysis 3. Shock Severity: Asset Loss Tobit Regression Outcome: Asset Loss from Shock, in ln(usd PPP) Intuition Model - Shocks can directly destroy assets (floods, fire, theft, etc) - Shock causes income loss and increased expenditure, making it necessary to sell assets

27 Analysis 6. Consumption Smoothing (Townsend 1994) OLS Regression Outcome Changes in consumption over time Determinants - Income changes over time - Gender of headship Intuition Coefficients show the degree of uninsured exposure to risk
28 6. Consumption Smoothing ( ) (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) Female Head De Facto vs. De Jure FHH Subgroups OLS: Consumption Change Thailand Vietnam Thailand Vietnam Thailand Vietnam Income Change *** *** *** Female Head Female Head * Income Change 0.222*** * De Facto FHH De Jure FHH De Facto FHH * Income Change 0.425** De Jure FHH * Income Change 0.204** * FHH, absent husband FHH, widow FHH, single FHH, absent husb * Inc Change 0.423** FHH, widow * Income Change 0.181* * FHH, single * Income Change 0.344* Observations Adj R
29 Summary of Results Widows, Singles (de jure female headed households) more exposed to shocks less able to insure consumption against income shocks Absent Husbands (de facto female headed households) better off through remittances asset losses from shocks more severe but: counterfactual spurious: unclear why do husbands leave? Perceived vs experienced risk some difference between past shocks and future risk apparently gender related differences in risk perception
30 Conclusions 1. Welfare Generally female heads are not poorer Gender Analysis only useful when broken down in subgroups 2. Policy Headship is a useful concept for targeting Widows / Singles in need of social policy 3. Further Research Panel Analysis using 3 waves Selection process of migration decision of husband Are families able to weather through macro crises? Transmission of poverty to children (education, health)
