Género, estado civil y la acumulación de activos en el Ecuador: una mirada a la violencia patrimonial por Deere, Carmen Diana, Contreras, J., Twyman, Jennifer

“…Nonetheless, there are major differences in the average value of wealth attained depending on a person’s marital status (being much higher among those who are married in comparison to living in a consensual union) and in the size of the gender wealth gap (being greatest among those who are married, widowed or separated).Drawing upon the results of our qualitative field work in three provinces, we illustrate how these gender wealth gaps by marital status may be the result of patrimonial violence. …”
