This paper is a critical review of the
literature on the issue of how male behavior affects female
outcomes in the promotion of gender equality. It employs the
family as the main unit of analysis because a large part of
gender interactions occurs within this institution. This
survey first summarizes recent studies on the distribution
of power within the family and identifies several factors
that have altered the bargaining position of men and women
over the last decades. It then reviews empirical work on the
contribution of men, as fathers and husbands, to the health
and socioeconomic outcomes of women in both developed and
developing countries. Finally, it discusses a set of
economic policies that have intentionally or unintentionally
affected men's attitudes and behaviors. The main
implication is that policies meant to achieve gender
equality should focus on men rather than exclusively target women. |
