GENDER DIVISION, RURAL PEOPLE, KALUNGU COUNTYSynopsis
This study set out to establish the reasons as to why ,gender division of labour has affected women's participation in income generating activities and their decision making powers over major economic issues in the household.Existing literature, revealed that gender divisio of labour is very old, that although women participate in income generating activities, there are very few of them who have control over the income that cornes from these activities and that the decision making powers of women are often circumscribed by customs and state laws which give men an effective control of productive assets,and eproductive relations. However most of the Literature focuses on Urban area. There is need therefore to focus on a predominantly rural area. Marxist theory of materialism, Socialist feminist theory of women's·oppression and Hirst's ideology of cultural representation were used in the analysis of the findings.. Masaka. District was purposively selected for the study.
