Are There Gender Differences in Demand for Index-Based Livestock Insurance?
利用埃塞俄比亚南部牧民的家庭调查、行政记录和定性访谈数据，研究性别与基于指数的牲畜保险需求之间的关系，发现男女获取保险的机会均等，性别差异有限。
Risk management plays a role in avoiding and escaping chronic poverty throughout the world, particularly for women, who are disproportionately negatively affected by shocks. Using three years of household survey data, administrative records and qualitative interviews, this paper examines the relationship between gender and demand for index-based livestock insurance (IBLI) among pastoralists in southern Ethiopia. IBLI appears to be equitably accessed by men and women alike and we find limited evidence of gender-differentiated demand for IBLI. We also find only modest differences associated with age and share of income from livestock.
