Technical change and intra-household welfare : a case study of irrigated rice production in South Sulawesi, Indonesia

by Fiona MacPhail and Paul Bowles

In this article the effect of an agricultural technical change on intra-household welfare is discussed. Existing theories of the household suggest that the distribution of resources within the household is a function of household members' employment. The difference in male and female employment levels under rainfed and irrigated rice production are investigated in a case study of two villages in South Sulawesi. (DÜI-Sen)
