The main findings of this essay emphasize the importance of women's empowerment, particularly in terms of group membership, in any initiative for promoting agricultural productivity. First, both the uncensored 5DE score and group membership are found to be positively associated with higher levels of agricultural productivity for all plots operated by women's households. Thus, positive spillover effects may exist, in terms of access to social capital or credit, that extend the benefits of women's empowerment outward to all household members. Second, no evidence of gender gaps in agricultural productivity is found in terms of women's actual participation in decision-making or women's ownership status for a particular plot of land, nor when based on female headship.

This dissertation consists of three essays that examine fundamental development challenges affecting women's and men's livelihoods in Ghana and Thailand. The first essay of this dissertation studies the effects of joint and individual land rights on men's and women's voice, or their ability to influence the use of agricultural earnings. It also investigates how men's voice and women's voice impact per capita consumption of market-produced, homegrown, and total food. Using the 2012 Feed the Future Baseline Survey from Ghana, this paper focuses on a sub-sample of married male and female farmers living in the Upper West, Upper East, Brong Ahafo, and Northern Regions of Ghana. The regression results indicate that land ownership, especially individual land rights, empowers both men and women by strengthening their ability to influence the use of agricultural earnings. Stronger influence over how agricultural earnings are used, in turn, enables both men and women to leverage the resources available to provide for household food security; per capita consumption of homegrown and total food raises when men and women have greater voice. These findings underline the importance of improving access to and ownership of land to economically and socially empower male and female farmers and to help address the chronic issue of food insecurity in Ghana. The second essay investigates how time in domestic and care work and in income-generating work activities is correlated with women's and men's abilities to become active members of economic and social groups. These groups include producers' and resource users' groups; religious groups; civic groups; and credit and savings groups. Using the 2012 Feed the Future Population Based Survey from Ghana, this paper focuses on a sub-sample of married women and men living in dual-adult households. The regression results indicate that women's time in domestic and care tasks is negatively correlated with the probability of becoming active group members in producers' and resource users' groups, civic groups, and religious groups. In contrast, the amount of time men spend in domestic and care work is not correlated with their group membership. While women's time in income-generating activities has no influence on their membership in producers' and resource users' and civic groups, their active membership in religious groups along with credit and savings groups complements their time in income-generating work. Men's time in income-generating activities increases their participation in these economic and social groups, especially in producers' and resource users' groups. Combining domestic and care work with income-generating work time, an increase in women's total workload decreases their membership in producers' and resource users' groups, civic groups, and religious groups and increases their participation in credit and savings groups. Men's total workload, on the other hand, increases their participation in producers' and resource users' groups, civic groups, along with credit and savings groups. These results point to the importance of accommodating women's work responsibilities as a strategy to increase women's opportunities to receive development services delivered through community-based groups. The third essay examines the relationships between children's time in work activities and the labor supply of their parents in the context of Thailand. Market work as well as domestic and care tasks are the two types of children's work activities considered in this analysis. The empirical analysis is based on the 2009 Labor Force and Time Use Surveys. The results indicate that children's time in market work is a complement to parents' labor supply. The complementary relationships are more pronounced between mothers' and older girls' labor supply and between fathers' and older boys' time in market activities, providing support for gender segregation in the relationships between parents' and older children's labor supply. In terms of domestic and care tasks, the regression estimates show that changes in parents' labor supply do not have significant influence on children's time in domestic and care tasks, particularly among girls, but boys' time in domestic and care tasks is found to be a weak substitute for parents' labor supply. The findings suggest that anti-poverty or expansionary policies that aim to increase adult labor force participation can have a spillover effect on children by increasing the need for older children to be involved in market work activities.

Women's empowerment increasingly appears in the headlines of development programs, in the pursuit of inclusive growth. This dissertation explores the determinants and consequences of one dimension of women's empowerment, women's ability to make choices within the household. Chapter 1 offers a critical review of the related literature. The chapters which follow consist of empirical analyses on Egypt and shed new lights on a understudied setting. Chapter 1 is a discussion of the concept under study and its measurement. It identifies means of actions available to individuals and policy-makers, limitations of the existing literature and future research avenues. Chapter 2 revisits the relationship between women's work and employment in Egypt, by addressing jointly the endogeneity and the heterogeneity of types of economic activities. The study shows that outside work has the greatest impact on women's participation in household decisions. Nevertheless, home-based work is able to increase joint decision-making on major investment decisions. Chapter 3 provides evidence on an unexplored channel: the role of the mother's empowerment in the transmission of shocks on youths' time allocation. We find that a positive shock on the father's labor market reduces daughters' participation in domestic work only when the mother has a high level of bargaining power. Chapter 4 explores how gender unbalanced migration affects the marriage market of the sending country. Results are consistent with a deterioration of women's relative position in the marriage market during high migration periods.

This thesis explores the long term effects of ancestral norms on contemporaneous outcomes, in the context of developing countries, with a specific focus on gender related outcomes. The 1st chapter explores the long-term effect of matrilineality on contemporaneous female HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa. I find that females originating from ancestrally matrilineal ethnic groups are today more likely to be infected by HIV. Matrilineal females' riskier sexual and contraceptive behaviours constitute the main explanatory mechanisms. The 2nd chapter explores how cultural norms and development policies interact in shaping women's empowerment and well-being in developing countries. My co-authors and I examine this question in the context of legal reforms and their differentiated impact on divorce and empowerment across traditional modes of post-marital cohabitation. We find that matrilocal women divorce more than patrilocal women following the reform and, when in stable marriages, experience a significant improvement in well-being and empowerment. The 3rd chapter examines the link between thedistribution of power in marriage and the decision to split-migrate (one spouse migrates alone) in Indonesia. Building on the second chapter, we find that the propensity of matrilocal husbands to split-migrate, relative to patrilocal husbands, increases by 41-76%, following the reform. We suggest that empowered women may have ex-ante gained control over outcomes that are costlier to monitor for husbands when they migrate. Hence, empowerment restores some efficiency in migration decisions by reducing the anticipated information asymmetry and the moral hazard associated with migration.

Several social programs have been implemented in developing countries with the aim of improving children's and women's well-being. Despite the existing evidence on the impact of these programs, there are still some knowledge gaps where this thesis aims to fill. First, programs such as Conditional Cash Transfers have been effective at increasing school attendance, but do not necessarily at achieving a large reduction on child labor. This thesis shows that the relative price of mothers and children labor is crucial to observe a reduction in child labor, due to the program. Children's working time is going to largely decrease in cases where mother's labor time is less expensive as compared to children's. Second, the evaluation of programs targeted to early childhood has been largely focused on nutrition, health, cognitive and non-cognitive skills, leaving aside parenting outcomes. Evidence found in this thesis shows that early childhood interventions impact parenting practices, particularly how children are disciplined. Parents of children who are largely exposed to these interventions use less physical violence as a way to discipline their children. Finally, women's empowerment plays a key role as an outcome and as a channel in the evaluation of these interventions. However, we lack information on how to approach and assess women's empowerment. This thesis shows that social capital seems to better capture women's bargaining power, as compared to traditional dimensions, such as participation in household decisions. This later analysis is done to understand the relation between women's empowerment and domestic violence.
