🏠MAGNET's new tool elicits subjective assessments that challenge the implicit assumption that respondents believe that women are better off owning assets individually instead of jointly with their spouse. Research reveals that in four out of five countries, the majority of respondents believe joint ownership is better, yet responses vary significantly by country context, asset type, and how assets would be divided. A critical tool for practitioners to understand community perceptions before designing asset allocation programs.
