Abstract
Case studies of African households frequently suggest that the identity of persons earning income affects how that money is spent.' In particular, it is often claimed that relative to women, men spend a greater proportion of the income they earn on goods such as alcohol, cigarettes, status consumer goods, and female companionship'. By contrast, women are more likely to purchase goods for children and for general household consumption.
