Abstract

This paper investigates women’s economic empowerment in Sudan, with a particular focus on their agency and assets. The analyses use the nationally-representative Sudan Labor Market Panel Survey 2022 data and compare agency and assets by gender. Rights to parcels, livestock, durables, mobile phones, and financial assets are explored, along with gender role attitudes, justification of domestic violence, mobility, and decision-making. The findings show how agency and assets evolve over the life course differently for men and women, with empowerment often diminishing at marriage for women but rising for men.
