translate English to French: The evidence they provide of gender inequalities in the distribution of basic needs and capabilities in the household – together with studies showing that households do not necessarily pool their incomes – presents a serious challenge to the unitary model of the household favoured by conventional economists.
Conjuguées aux études montrant que les membres du ménage ne mettent pas forcément leurs revenus en commun, ces approches infligent donc un sérieux démenti au modèle du ménage unifié que privilégient les économistes conventionnels.
