We assess the influence of environmental
degradation on intrahousehold labour time allocations in
rural south Pare, Tanzania. We distinguished three types of
areas, namely, severely degraded, medium degraded and
non-degraded environmental conditions. The unit of
analysis is the household composed of both parents and at
least one schoolchild. The results, among others, show that
environmental products collection and/or grazing time by
the household members is, almost in all groups and in
accordance to gender-biased activity, significantly
influenced by the environmental conditions.
