皇冠体育app Contested Relationship Between Paid Work and Women鈥檚 Empowerment: Empirical Analysis from Bangladesh
This paper uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative data from Bangladesh
Abstract
皇冠体育app debate about the empowerment potential of women鈥檚 access to labour market opportunities is a long-standing one but it has taken on fresh lease of life with the increased feminization of paid work in the context of economic liberalization. This paper uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative data from Bangladesh to explore this debate, distinguishing between different categories of work and using measures of women鈥檚 empowerment which have been explicitly designed to capture the specificities of local patriarchal constraints.
This work is part of the 鈥楥hoice, constraints and the gender dynamics of labour markets in Bangladesh鈥� project supported by the Economic and Social Research Council and the UK Department for International Development.
