• Women, Weather, and Woes: The Triangular Dynamics of Female-Headed Households, Economic Vulnerability, and Climate Variability in South Africa (2017, background): “Correspondingly, international studies show that female-headed households are predominantly heterogeneous and whether they are poorer than other household types or not depends considerably upon routes into headship (Chant, 2004).”
• From Structural Adjustment to Social Adjustment (2008, background): “…households headed by women, and those women engaged in productive activities are less likely to be beneficiaries of the programme (CIESAS, 2002: 39), which is interesting given the often-assumed status of female-headed households as the ‘poorest of the poor’ (see Chant, 2003b, 2004; Jackson, 1998).”
