subsistence side of household production is the preserve of
women who also work with their husbands, brothers and sons in
the production of commodities for market exchange.
The form of women's subsistence production varies in
different Third World countries but the form is generally

men to leave the family farm and to work on colonial
Plantations, export industries and even immigrate to Europe,
where their wages do not cover their families' consumption
needs and women's subsistence agricultural production
continues to support the rest of the family and even husbands
and sons in times of unemployment and illness. This type of
relationship is typical of South Africa, Mozambique, Algeria
and Kenya. (11) The situation in the Jordan Valley, while not

areas of Asia, inasmuch as it is characterised by irrigated

agricultural cultivation. (12) In this situation the family
