Women's empowerment is a dynamic process that has been quantified, measured and described in a variety of ways. We measure empowerment in a sample of 3500 rural women in 128 villages of Bangladesh with five indicators. A conceptual framework is presented, together with descriptive data on the indicators. Linear regressions to examine effects of covariates show that a woman's exposure to television is a significant predictor of three of the five indicators. A woman's years of schooling is significantly associated with one of two self-esteem indicators and with freedom of mobility. Household wealth has a significant and positive association with a woman's resource control but a significant negative association with her total decision-making score.
妇女赋权是一个动态过程,已经通过多种方式进行了量化、衡量和描述。我们使用五个指标,对孟加拉国128个村庄的3500名农村妇女样本进行赋权衡量。本文提出了一个概念框架,并给出了指标的描述性数据。用于检验协变量影响的线性回归表明,妇女接触电视的情况是五个指标中三个指标的重要预测因素。妇女的受教育年限与两个自尊指标之一以及行动自由显著相关。家庭财富与妇女的资源控制呈显著正相关,但与她的总决策得分呈显著负相关。
