520			_aTraditional family norms often have persistent effects on household decisions. We question whether kinship ancestries of postmarital residence still affect household consumption sharing. We estimate a model of resource allocation using expenditure surveys for Ghana and Malawi, two countries in which patrilocal and matrilocal traditions coexist. Ancestral patrilocality coincides with a 10% lower resource share for women, contributing to a higher prevalence of poverty among women. Women’s resource shares increase with age, a pattern more pronounced for matrilocal groups. These results indicate how a combination of cultural and demographic factors may be used to improve policies targeted at poor individuals.- Reproduced https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/7266
