Abstract

How can the land right affect the urban poor women? This paper examines the relationship between the land right and women's empowerment using survey date form the compound in Lusaka, Zambia, where 30-year occupancy license has been issued to residents from 1979. It presents evidence that land ownership has changed and more women than expected own land especially by inheritance from father, or by acquisition from local authority. It also indicates that women's land rights have a positive effect on women's empowerment: more women participate in family decision-making. Further, women's empowerment leads to good living condition: more households have water tap. But because of women's low-income, their access to the land right, and its influence on women's empowerment is limited.
