Using cross-sectional regression analysis, we find that ownership of land by women positively contributes to women's absolute employment. Conversely, results from pairwise correlation show that a lack of ownership of land by women usually acquire land through either purchase from the market system or marriage, and even then their rights of ownership are usually very limited and precarious compared to the rights of men--back cover. 650 0 $a Land tenure $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 650 0 $a Women's rights $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781009371872 830 0 $a Cambridge elements. $p Elements in the economics of emerging markets. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619011430.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240502013551.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D81B6AF2C19D11EEA89D2B6520ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
