Women’s Empowerment and Wellbeing: Evidence from Africa
利用塞内加尔家庭调查数据，研究家庭内女性赋权对已婚女性福祉的影响，发现赋权效应至少与家庭收入等传统发展指标同等重要。
We use household survey data from Senegal to model the effects of empowerment within the home on married women’s wellbeing. The estimated effects of empowerment are at least as large as more conventional development indicators, such as household income. The size of the empowerment effect is robust to alternative estimation techniques, including an Instrumental Variables estimator.
