Labour-Intensive Jobs for Women and Development: Intra-household Welfare Effects and Its Transmission Channels
研究贫困女性获得低技能工作对家庭和个人的福利影响，发现收入、消费和贫困效应显著为正，但女性及其家人休闲减少，且影响通过收入效应和议价效应传导。
We examine the welfare impacts of poor women getting low-skilled jobs and find large positive income, consumption and poverty effects at household and individual levels. However, the women workers, their husbands and oldest daughters reduced their leisure, but the women to a much larger extent. Investigating the transmission mechanisms suggests that the impacts did not only go through income effects, but also through a bargaining effect. Getting the job improved the bargaining power of the wife through several mechanisms, which in turn added substantially to the positive impact on household consumption.
