Gender, spending and decision-making are up for discussion in this week’s Garment Worker Diaries blog. In the first part of the blog, we focus on the most costly expenses garment workers incur from week to week. And in the second part of the blog, we discuss how garment workers decide to make those expenditures. Some interesting results arise when it comes to money transfers garment workers send to members of their households and to their networks outside the house.
We’ll also be sticking with this subject next week as we analyze worker spending decisions through the lens of a segmentation of women workers based on their role in their household.
As always, you can send any questions you have for MFO, SANEM, the workers or about the project to [email protected].
