Measure Notes:

Ascertain household assets: do you have…? Check who in the household has (a) access to/ use of, (b) control of, each asset. Is very much based on a subjective assessment, which will be compared to the respondent's own background and experience, so will be very difficult to assess substantial progress. Use of the asset may be as important as control of the asset. Women, for example, may not control the cow but have access to and control over the milk.
