Abstract 0001901This study will investigate the role of women's bargaining power (intra-household power dynamics) in shaping access to resources and children's health in Tanzania. The researcher will test two competing hypotheses concerning the factors that influence women's marital bargaining power in a rural community. The study is based on previous research that argues that where women have greater bargaining power (and thus access to resources), child health improves. Using behavioral ecology theory, the research will examine how women's bargaining power shapes maternal work efforts, paternal contributions to the household, and ultimately child health. Methods include a village survey, demographic analysis, time allocation studies, and structured interviews with samples of the population. This study contributes to debates in economics and anthropology concerning how individuals in households, particularly less powerful members such as women and children, achieve and utilize bargaining power to access resources (and thus health).

摘要0001901本研究将探讨妇女的议价能力（家庭内部权力动态）在塑造获得资源和儿童的健康在坦桑尼亚的作用。研究者将检验两个相互竞争的假设，即影响农村社区妇女婚姻谈判能力的因素。 这项研究是基于以前的研究，认为妇女有更大的讨价还价能力（从而获得资源），儿童健康改善。利用行为生态学理论，这项研究将研究女性的议价能力如何影响母亲的工作努力，父亲对家庭的贡献，以及最终的儿童健康。方法包括一个村庄的调查，人口分析，时间分配的研究，和结构化的人口样本访谈。这项研究有助于经济学和人类学的辩论，关于家庭中的个人，特别是妇女和儿童等权力较小的成员，如何实现和利用讨价还价的能力来获得资源（从而获得健康）。
