Abstract This paper examines distribution of bequest in terms of who receive bequests and when bequests are distributed in rural household in Tanzania. Descriptive and inferential method of analysis is employed to analyse data from 810 individuals gathered through structured questionnaire. It employs Chi-Square Test to infer the hypothesis that all family members receive bequests. Triangulation of data is done through focus group discussion and survey questionnaire. The data was collected in thirteen districts. Accordingly, results show that bequests are distributed to all children regardless of gender and age but depending on type of bequests both in-vivos transfers and intergenerational transfers exist. Top Keywords Bequest, saving, in-vivos transfer, intergenerational transfer. Top |
