摘要：We decompose poverty - inequality linkages of sources of deprivation by men - headed and women - headed households in Cameroon. Results indicate that (a) women - headed and gender - neutral households face more human and household capital deprivation and higher levels of inequality than their men - headed counterparts; and (b) whereas decreasing inequality between the men - headed and women - headed households would reduce the incidence and depth of human capital deprivation, reducing inequality among the men - and women - headed households will reduce the incidence and depth of household capital deprivation. Policies should simultaneously reduce household capital deprivations among men - headed and women - headed and human capital deprivation between the se households.
