ABSTRACT
Families' come in a variety of different forms and they manage the money in a variety of different ways. The new family citizenship, on the contrary, consists of access to certain rights, which are positive and relational rights granted to the family nucleus as such, in addition to and without reducing individual rights. Different systems of money management reflect broader social structural inequalities and can lead to inequalities within the family. The management of money and the control of household finances were linked in important ways. When husbands managed finances, they were also likely to control them and to have power over financial and other decisions within the household. The joint, and to a lesser extent, the male-managed pools, on the other hand, were associated with greater equality, both in terms of financial deprivation and in access to personal spending money.
