How social structure influences the way people share money

Summary

Nutrition label

79% Informative

In East Africa , money moves in very different patterns depending on whether societies are structured around family units or age-based groups.

In kin-based societies, money is transferred within the family but not the age cohort.

In Uganda , an additional year of pension payments to a senior citizen reduces the likelihood of child malnourishment by 5.5 percent .

Understanding social structure should be a high-order concern for making policies more effective, says Jacob Moscona .

"In these two ways of organizing society, different people are on average more vulnerable," he says.

In kin-based groups, some entire families are doing much worse than others, while in age-based societies the age sets often cut across lineages or extended families.
