Gender Relations and Household Economic Planning in the Rural Philippines Research in Palawan during January to April 2002 was supported by a Fulbright research award and a sabbatical leave from Arizona State University (ASU). I am grateful to the Council for International Exchange of Scholars, the Philippine American Educational Foundation, and ASU for this assistance. Additional research for this paper was made possible during June 2003 by an A. T. Steele Grant from the Center for Asian Studies at ASU and, during May–August 2005, by a Faculty Research Abroad award from the US Department of Education. I am similarly grateful for this additional support. For their assistance during fieldwork I thank Jovy Borres, Julieta Canta and Lilibeth Uapal. Thanks are also due to University of Hawaii Press for permission to use, in altered form, material that originally appeared in A generation later: Household strategies and economic change in the rural Philippines.

Аннотация:
This paper lies at the intersection of the considerable scholarly literatures on household livelihood strategies and on the role of women in Southeast Asia. Focused ethnographically on rural Philippine households engaged primarily in various combinations of fishing and farming activities, and analytically on how gender relations figure in the decisions that the co-heads of these households make regarding their economic plans for the future, it considers how the livelihood diversification that characteristically accompanies rural development affects – and is in turn affected by – the conjugal relationship.
