本文试图对女性自主对生育的影响进行实证评估。它认为,通过照顾贫困妇女的基本自由,通过加强妇女获得和控制关键资源的机会--她们实现福祉的能力--我们不仅实现了福利目标,还促进了生育率的降低。这篇论文的发现肯定了后开罗话语对健康和妇女教育的重视。调查结果还表明,有必要扩大工作重点,将促进妇女自主的其他举措包括在内,并充分利用各种赋权可能性。版权所有(C)1996爱思唯尔科学有限公司
This paper seeks to assess empirically the impact of female autonomy on fertility. It argues that by attending to fundamental freedoms for impoverished women, by enhancing women's access to and control over critical resources - their capability to achieve well-being - we not only meet welfare goals but also promote a reduction in fertility. The findings of this paper affirm the post-Cairo discourse emphasizing health and women's education. The findings also suggest the need to broaden the focus to include other initiatives that foster women's autonomy and to engage the full range of empowerment possibilities.
