研究菲律宾南部女性在家庭决策中的参与情况,发现与父母同住(无论女方还是男方父母)会提升妻子的决策参与度,且女方父母影响小事、男方父母影响财务大事。
Abstract This article analyses the dynamics of women's participation in the decisions made in the household by looking at the effects of events that transpired in the recent period. Results suggest that the wife's participation status is positively affected by the presence of parents, either hers or the spouse's, in the household. Results also show that the wife's parents significantly affect participation in minor issues while the spouse's parents significantly affect the more relevant financial issues. The article also offers a cursory discussion on the role of household headship.
