Men who do not own house (% of men): Q4 is the percentage of men who don’t own any house, which legally registered with their name or cannot be sold without their signature, either solely or jointly with someone else or both. Each wealth quintile represents one fifth of households with quintile 1 being the poorest 20 percent of households and quintile 5 being the richest 20 percent of households. Development relevance: Ownership of assets, particularly high-value assets, has many beneficial effects for households, including protection against financial ruin. For women in particular, asset ownership is a source of economic empowerment and provides protection in the case of marital dissolution or abandonment. There is increasing evidence that ownership of property by women has positive consequences for women’s empowerment, nutritional and health outcomes, and children’s schooling. Statistical concept and methodology: Men who do not own house is the number of men who say they don’t own any house either alone or jointly with someone else or both, expressed as percentage of men who have been interviewed. ‘Ownership’ implies that the house is legally registered in the man's name or, since official property records do not always exist or are not maintained, the house is recognized as his and cannot be sold without his signature or equivalent. ‘House’ includes all dwelling types including apartments, duplexes, and houses that are semi-detached or detached, etc., as well as other types of dwellings that are specific to country.
