Engaging Men for Women’s Economic Empowerment
Promoting women’s socioeconomic empowerment means increasing women’s control over the resources and decisions that are important for their well-being. Achieving these goals requires engaging men, since men often have influence over the lives of women in t heir households and communities. This overview examines evidence on the effectiveness of three different types of approaches that have been tested: Adding an engaging men intervention to complement a program designed to support women’s individual economic activities: Studies of these interventions show mixed results. Some have had success while others highlight the risk that this type of intervention could reduce women’s autonomy; Complementing support for household production or consumption with programming that encourages cooperative management or joint planning: These types of interventions are promising, especially for increasing women’s role in the management of household resources, although they have had limited impact on women’s individual-level economic outcomes; and Encouraging men to recognize or enhance their wives’ rights to ownership of important assets: There is very limited research available on this category of intervention, although available evidence is promising. Additional research in other contexts is necessary.

Promoting women’s socioeconomic
empowerment means increasing women’s control over the
resources and decisions that are important for their
well-being. Achieving these goals requires engaging men,
since men often have influence over the lives of women in t
heir households and communities. This overview examines
evidence on the effectiveness of three different types of
approaches that have been tested: Adding an engaging men
intervention to complement a program designed to support
women’s individual economic activities: Studies of these
interventions show mixed results. Some have had success
while others highlight the risk that this type of
intervention could reduce women’s autonomy; Complementing
support for household production or consumption with
programming that encourages cooperative management or joint
planning: These types of interventions are promising,
especially for increasing women’s role in the management of
household resources, although they have had limited impact
on women’s individual-level economic outcomes; and
Encouraging men to recognize or enhance their wives’ rights
to ownership of important assets: There is very limited
research available on this category of intervention,
although available evidence is promising. Additional
research in other contexts is necessary. |
