- 요약In my dissertation, titled "Essays on Women's Employment, Poverty, and Health Outcomes (with evidence from India)," I study the trade-offs people make between employment, social norms, and well-being and health outcomes, particularly for women. I also examine the role of technology solutions in shifting women's labor market outcomes. Using a combination of randomized control trials and longitudinal household survey data, I analyze the economic, social, and health-related factors influencing employment decisions for the poor.The first chapter highlights the strong link between poverty, health, and employment outcomes. For poor households, health shocks that lead to work absences can create a significant economic burden. Therefore, implementing wage loss insurance could help increase employment among the poor without pushing them further into debt due to illness.In the second and third chapters, my co-author Lisa Ho and I examine the barriers constraining women out of the workforce in India and explore potential strategies to increase their labor force participation. We design and offer digital jobs made up of back-end piece-rate work to women currently out of the workforce to perform on their own smartphones. As the settings have strong social norms against women's paid work, we design jobs complying with existing norms. Through two large-scale randomized field experiments, one in Mumbai and the other in West Bengal, we alter the job contracts women are offered in order to effects on job take-up. Given that more than 75% of women of working age are out of the workforce in India, entry into the workforce itself is a first-order concern.We find that women's high fixed costs of entry can be overcome through home-based jobs and by providing women safe local office spaces. Once women enter the workforce, even with home-based jobs, they are more willing to work outside the home through a "gateway effect." Our experimental evidence uncovers the complex dynamics affecting women's employment decisions and in helping close the large gender gap in labor force participation in settings with strong social norms, such as India.
