Highlights • We use surveys of husbands and wives in Tanzania to explore rural household decision-making.• We find perceptions of household decision-making authority differ depending on the spouse asked.• Factors associated with a wife’s authority include age, education, health, children, and labor hours.• The allocation of intra-household authority also varies across thirteen different decision questions.• A lack of “intra-household accord” over authority may be a barrier to empowerment efforts.
