This paper considers the relationship between work status and decision-making power of the head of household and his spouse. Consistent with the hypothesis that greater economic resources yield greater bargaining power, I find that the spouse of the head of household is more likely to be involved in decisions when she has been employed. Similarly, the head of household is less likely to be the sole decision-maker when his spouse works. Results using the survey responses of the head of household and his spouse are fairly similar, indicating that this relationship is robust to concerns about reporting biases.
