Concerns of Food Security, Role of Gender and Intra-household Dynamics in Pakistan
The process of decision making in a family has an important bearing on the intra-household dynamics and welfare of the household. Most models of household decision making assume that the family as a whole is the decision making unit and there exists a single household utility function. Each member of the household jointly maximises the level of utility for a given income.
