The aim of this research project is to examine the interrelationships between the income that women generate, how they generate that income, and the wealth that women hold with their control over their own time. This project uses a multicountry (Ethiopia, Ghana, Mali, South Africa, and Tanzania) and multilevel study design to examine women’s economic empowerment through the lens of their control over time spent on income-generating activities, household production activities, and personal care. The research process and uptake initiatives include research partnerships with scholars from the region, two policy roundtables, one capacity-building workshop in the region, as well as joint publications with regional research partners.
