Studies of couple's decision-making power consistently show that women disproportionately occupy subordinate positions. Using survey data (N = 400) from an ethnographic study on Ghanaian female fisherfolk, we examine the influences of women's financial contributions, ownership of production assets and gender role attitudes, and how they interact with the bodily capacities required to perform different fishery tasks to shape women's decision-making power. Findings show that financial contributions and ownership of production assets remain salient determinants of women's fishery decision-making power. However, their participation in strenuous tasks dampens the positive relationship between their financial contributions, gender role attitudes and decision-making power, such that financial contributions become insignificant. Women's decision-making power varies according to the sex-typed division of labor in small-scale fishing, and those who violate it are ‘punished’—as evident in their decreased decision-making power. Attention to the co-implications of socio-economic forces and material factors such as women's embodied experiences highlights (1) the specificities of occupational sex segregation and decision-making in agricultural sectors of developing economies and (2) how such entanglements can be reconfigured to enhance women's decision-making power in such contexts.

女性的行为、信仰和经济贡献——夫妻决策中什么更重要？加纳小规模渔业中的性别不平等☆

对夫妻决策权的研究一致表明，女性不成比例地占据从属地位。使用调查数据 ( N = 400) 根据对加纳女性渔民的民族志研究，我们研究了女性的财务贡献、生产资产的所有权和性别角色态度的影响，以及她们如何与执行不同渔业任务所需的身体能力相互作用，从而影响女性的决策力量。调查结果表明，财政贡献和生产资产的所有权仍然是妇女渔业决策权的重要决定因素。然而，他们参与繁重的工作削弱了他们的经济贡献、性别角色态度和决策权之间的正相关关系，以至于经济贡献变得微不足道。女性的决策权因小型渔业中的性别分工而异，. 关注社会经济力量和物质因素（例如女性的具体经历）的共同影响，强调 (1) 发展中经济体农业部门职业性别隔离和决策的特殊性，以及 (2) 如何重新配置​​这些纠缠以在这种情况下增强妇女的决策权。
