dc.description It is estimated that approximately 30% of the world’s households are headed by women and it is widely agreed that women-headed households are more common in urban than in rural areas. The literature on gender and socioeconomic issues reveal high inequalities. This study examined gender differences with regard to access to socioeconomic services in unplanned and un-serviced areas of the Dar es Salaam City. Data were collected from 1,182 sample households selected randomly. Results show no significant difference in incomes and access to socioeconomic services, although women headed households were slightly less accessed than men respondents in accessing socio-economic services.
