This paper will present and discuss empirical data suggesting
that couples are becoming more individualised in their financial
arrangements. Data on spending responsibilities and on access to
credit will be used to explore the implications of
individualisation.
Finally, a wider view of the issue will be developed, using
evidence on money management from other parts of the world, and
particularly from sub-Saharan Africa.
