This study investigates the connectivity between economic autonomy, employment type and relationship style within household. Results generated through the analysis of cross-sectional data of 1868 respondents revealed that both men and women enjoyed a reasonable extent of economic autonomy which is influenced by employment type, pair of employment type between spouses and relationship style.
