If a woman wage goes into a male family member account, which right becomes weak?

Correct answer: Right to control income

When a woman’s wages are deposited into a male family member’s account rather than her own, she may have less independent say over spending, saving, and using that income. Therefore, her right to control income becomes weaker. The right to equal pay concerns discrimination in the amount of wages, not the account into which wages are deposited. Exam tip: Access to income and decision-making over its use are key indicators of economic empowerment.
