| Summary: | Some studies generally argued that in rice-based farming
communities women's access to land enhances their ability to
influence men in decision-making in the rice production process
and in social reproduction (income allocation) in the
households. This study was basically an attempt to decipher
the gender relations between husband and wife and sought to
provide a tentative analysis of the position of Filipino women
in the household and in the community.
Generally, this study examined the relationship between
women's access to land as owners and tenants and their
influence in decision-making in rice production and social
reproduction. In particular, it tried to determine the extent
of women's access to land and the factors which promote or inhibit such access; to determine whether the different
tenurial statuses of women land owners and tenants have varying
degrees of influence in decision-making in production and
social reproduction; to determine the involvement of women and
their changing role in rice production; and to examine the
degree of women's influence in social reproduction. |
