Abstract:This study examines the impacts of changes in resources and awareness of gender equality held by spouses on the decision-making of family purchases in a transitional rural Chinese society, which is in "a modified patriarchy" stage. Using the logistic regression method with multi factors and steps to analyze the data of survey conducted in JC district, Anhui in 2005, the study reveals that the higher the wives' education is, the more likely they are making decisions alone or jointly with their husbands on daily consumption and purchases of durable goods; the more equitable the spouses view their relationships, the more likely the wives are making decisions alone or jointly with their husbands on daily consumption and purchases of durable goods.
