Women who do not own land (% of women age 15-49): Q3
Women who do not own land (% of women age 15-49): Q3 is the percentage of women age 15-49 who don’t own any land, 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: Women who do not own land is the number of women age 15-49 who say they don’t own any land either alone or jointly with someone else or both, expressed as percentage of women age 15-49 who have been interviewed. ‘Ownership’ implies that the land is legally registered in the woman’s name or, since official property records do not always exist or are not maintained, the land is recognized as hers and cannot be sold without her signature or equivalent. ‘land’ includes all agricultural or non-agricultural land. Non-agricultural land refers to rural land that is not used for growing crops, and most land in urban areas.
