Men are poor but women are poorer: Gendered poverty and survival strategies in the Dangme West District of Ghana

The paper seeks to bring out the multidimensionality of poverty from the perspective of both men and women in the Dangme West District of Ghana,
through their day-to-day experiences of poverty and how this leads to different livelihood strategies among men and women.
It is argued that gender inequalities, the patriarchal system and the traditional gender roles of women
create a situation where women’s experiences of poverty tend to be more severe than those of men.
