摘要

The study evaluates the impact of technological change in agriculture (rice) and increased commercialization on intrahousehold decisiomaking, resource control, and patterns of labor activity. The study was born of an increasing concern about the dual issues of gender bias and intrahousehold inequalities in access to, and control of, resources, and their relationship to technological change in agriculture. The analysis focuses on the example of a rice irrigation scheme established in The Gambia in 1983. The first of the changes is that the new technology has led to a transformation in the status of the rice crop. No longer a mixed private/communal crop, the new rice has become almost exclusively a communal food crop. Secondly, control over the rice crop has passed from women to men. This is because responsibility for the provision of communal food falls primarily to the male household head. The assignment of the new rice as a full-fledged communal crop means that there has been a substantial increase in the burden of communal farm work for both men and women (in terms of labor days), but relatively more for women. While women have less opportunity to grow a private rice cash crop, many have expanded their private production of upland cash crops such as groundnuts and cotton.
