| description | This study investigates the attribution effect of access to innovation on assets acquisition and development among rural women. The study analyzed gender differences in access to innovations and its consequence on assets ownership among rural males and females. Primary data for the study were sourced through a structured questionnaire. The data was fitted to a propensity score matching model in order to isolate the effect of access to innovation on gender differences in an asset acquisition. The findings showed that rural development drive requires innovative intervention in the rural areas and its effect could be more favorable to males than females in terms of productive asset acquisition and development. But, no significant difference (5% level) was established for non-productive asset acquisition across gender. There is a need for gender-inclusive strategies for rural development. |
