- Description
- This study explores the association between having a child before 18 and economic opportunity. Research suggests women receiving cash are more likely to be able to make decisions about their own healthcare and education. The study dives further into women’s economic empowerment by analyzing married women’s sole control over her cash earnings. A woman’s power to make her own decisions over her health, income, and life choices is a marker of empowerment and a core element of gender equality.
