Summary: This study used value chain analysis to examine the sustainability of the fuelwood value chain in Yobe, Nigeria, in relation to economic, environmental, and social aspects. The findings revealed that registered licensed actors and non-licensed actors were involved in fuelwood business activities. Profit distribution along the value chain was unequal, with 65% of the total profits going to transporters. Natural forests served as the main source of fuelwood, and there were 18 preferred tree species commonly traded. Women had limited participation in the formal fuelwood value chain, mainly concentrated in the informal sector. The study's findings can inform policymakers on enhancing sustainability in terms of profit sharing, forest resource exploitation, and gender equality.

Summary: Data from the Chinese Household Income Project survey reveals that self-employed women have lower levels of well-being compared to their male counterparts. Self-employed men have higher levels of health, standard of living, satisfaction, and life satisfaction compared to wage-employed men. However, self-employed women have lower levels of health and life satisfaction compared to wage-employed women. Additionally, their well-being would not improve if they were selected for wage employment. Therefore, self-employed women face a double challenge of lower well-being than both self-employed men and wage-employed women.

However, it is important to recognize that community gatekeepers may inadvertently perpetuate cultural norms that normalize violence against women. Policymakers and practitioners should build upon the perspectives and attitudes of community leaders in order to challenge and deconstruct gendered subordination.
