Resumen
Descripción
We assess the influence of environmental
degradation on intrahousehold labour time allocations in
rural south Pare, Tanzania. We distinguished three types of
areas, namely, severely degraded, medium degraded and
non-degraded environmental conditions. The unit of
analysis is the household composed of both parents and at
least one schoolchild. The results, among others, show that
environmental products collection and/or grazing time by
the household members is, almost in all groups and in
accordance to gender-biased activity, significantly
influenced by the environmental conditions.
