Market access and gender roles in the Jatun Mayu watershed communities of Tiraque, Bolivia
(Special Event)
This presentation by Nadezda Amaya, a graduate student in Agricultural Economics, addresses the widely-held assumption that considers Andean societies to be strongly male-dominated and relegates the role of women to reproductive responsibilities only. This study considers the roles, responsibilities, actions and decision-making of small farmers and merchants in rural Bolivia, and the household dynamics and gendered social networks that facilitate or impede access to local and regional markets.
