| Summary: | The aim of this paper was to provide a demographic profile of Haitian women household heads and identify factors associated with this phenomenon in Haiti. Data used in this article came from demographic and health surveys carried out in Haiti in 1994 and 2017 by the Haitian Institute for Children (HIC). Data analysis was done at two levels: a descriptive level and a multivariate explanatory level through multilevel regression models. The results revealed that there have been changes in the profile of female heads of households between 1994 and 2017. In addition, results showed that place of residence, age, education level, household size and wealth index are factors significantly associated with the feminization of heads of households in Haiti. |
