Gender gap in wealth accumulation in Ghana

In her lecture in the series "Freiburger Afrikagespräche" the economist Prof. Abena D. Oduro from the University of Ghana, Legon (Accra), shows the gender gap that exists with regard to the possession of material and symbolic resources in Ghana. She discusses the importance of marriage and inheritance for the distribution of these resources and shows at which levels the existing imbalance influences the lives of women in Ghana. Oduro is Director of the Merian Institute for Advanced Studies in Africa (MIASA), headquartered at the University of Ghana. The University of Freiburg along with the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS) and the Arnold Bergstraesser Institute (ABI) is in charge of setting up and coordinating the international research college.
