- Description
- This paper seeks to set out a framework for researchers who are interested in collecting data on individual level asset ownership and analysing the gender asset gap. It identifies the main policy issues, examines the current state of knowledge of the gender asset gap in developing countries and reviews best practices in existing surveys. It shows how various questions on individually owned assets can be incorporated into existing multi-topic household surveys with a minimum of effort and cost, including the example of a 1997-98 Vietnam survey questionnaires. The document, Policy Research Working Paper 4704, was published by The World Bank in August 2008.

- Description
- This study of three villages in Vietnam examines the influence that policies and programs (such as land classification, land use rights devolution and reforestation schemes) which were developed to help combat the issue of deforestation have influenced the behaviour of farmers. It suggests that these policies have not impacted on land use change in the ways that policymakers planned. This study was published by IWMI in 2007.
