Measuring Women’s Disempowerment in Agriculture in Pakistan
Published By: IFPRI on eSS | Published Date: February, 01 , 2016This paper calculates a Women’s
Disempowerment Index to examine women’s control over production, resources, income, household
decisions, and time burden. The index is based on a slightly modified methodology than that used for
WEAI calculation by Alkire et al. (2012). The analysis is based on a sample of 2,090 households in the
rural areas of Pakistan. Data used for the study were collected in three rounds of the Pakistan Rural
Household Panel Survey from 2012–2014 by International Food Policy Research Institute/ Innovative
Development Strategies for its Pakistan Strategy Support Program.
