Clean Energy Access: Gender Disparity, Health and Labour Supply
利用印度尼西亚全国清洁烹饪燃料推广项目,研究发现清洁能源获取改善了女性健康并增加了其工作时间,同时也增加了男性的工作时间和兼职倾向。
Abstract Women bear a disproportionate share of the health and time burden associated with lack of access to modern energy. We study the impact of clean energy access on adult health and labour supply outcomes by exploiting a nationwide rollout of a clean cooking fuel program in Indonesia. We find that access to clean cooking fuel led to an improvement in women’s health and an increase in their work hours. We also find an increase in men’s work hours and in their propensity to have an additional job, primarily in those households where women accrued the largest program benefits.
