Social protection and the empowerment of rural women in Africa

With regard to genderdifferentiated impacts on child-specific outcomes, in Lesotho the programme had a strong positive impact on school enrolment and time spent in school (mainly driven by girls) and on a reduction of farm work (mainly driven by boys) for children aged 13–17. These gendered outcomes were also influenced by the household structure (male- or female-headed), in that the outcomes in female-headed households tended to favour boys (possibly because these households are typically more labour-constrained and relied more on the labour of boys prior to the transfer), and also by who receives the benefit within a dualadult household (mother or father): receipt by the father was found to have more positive impacts on girls’ schooling and on decreasing the incidence of farm labour among boys, while simultaneously increasing the labour input from boys in domestic tasks.
