520 _aBy looking into the diversified profiles and characters of female-headed households located in urban (Phnom Penh city) and rural (Battambang Province) area this research aims to negate the perceived notion of homogeneity of female-headed households that they are "poorest of the poor" or "one of the several groups of poorest of the poor" or "better off'. Studying important historical and archival documents this study first examines how female-headed households in Cambodia have been treated and imaged in different program and policy interventions of government and development partners since 1979. This examination reveals that female-headed households have been imaged and considered in different importance from different perspectives since that time. Early governments imaged female-heads of households as master of Khmer national development and considered as integrated force for developing the country. Since then female-heads of households have been treated and considered as like as other women and their issues have been emerged with women issues by the preceding governments. In the later part this study accomplishes the heterogeneities that exist in the livelihood of different types of female-headed households namely: divorced, widowed, single-parent, abandoned and women with out-migrant and disabled husband. Female-headed households located in rural and urban areas were compared for examining their heterogeneity in this study in terms of their educational level, income and occupations, stigma and human capital related constraints they face in work, workplace and social functioning. Femaleheads of different types in different locations lead differentiated livelihood and they are differently placed to different social, cultural and economic constraints. This research shows how the women in female-headed households organize and lead their livelihood in the contexts of different social and economic constraints they face and opportunities they enjoy. Finally this study claims that since female-headed households are socially, cultural and economically heterogeneous more subtle and thorough approach is needed for appropriate program interventions for female-headed households.
