Abstract
The household as a unit of analysis has achieved wide currency in social science circles in recent years. Researchers have shown that in many contexts, both rural and urban, the household is the locus of important productive processes. It has also been demonstrated to be the context within which many decisions related to productive strategies are made and where income is pooled and then allocated. Testimony to the growth of interest in household-based analyses is provided by the recent appearance of a number of edited volumes (Nettinget al.1984; Smithet al.1984) and review articles (Yanagisako 1979; Guyer 1981; Schmink 1984) on the topic.
