摘要

本文研究了 2009-2015 年塔吉克斯坦冬季能源危机期间电力配给对女性就业的影响。电力供应的减少导致女性就业率下降,因为女性离开劳动力队伍成为家庭主妇。这种负面就业影响是妇女特有的,似乎不是由劳动力需求变化、非自愿失业、劳动力迁移或生育模式驱动的。然而,女性就业率下降的同时,省力电器的采用率也降低了。这些研究结果表明,电力供应将妇女从无偿家务劳动中解放出来。此外,这些研究还表明,电力供应的质量对于发展中国家实现电气化的全部益处至关重要。

Electricity and female employment: Evidence from Tajikistan’s winter energy crisis
This paper studies the impact of electricity rationing on female employment during Tajikistan’s winter energy crisis, 2009–2015. Reduced access to electricity led to a decline in female employment as women left the workforce to become homemakers. The negative employment effect is specific to women and does not appear to be driven by changes in labor demand, involuntary unemployment, labor migration or fertility patterns. However, the decline in female employment is accompanied by a lower adoption of labor-saving electrical appliances. These findings suggest that electricity provision releases women from unpaid domestic work. Furthermore, they suggest that the quality of the electricity supply is vital for realizing the full benefits of electrification in developing countries.
