本文探讨了丈夫外出务工对留守妇女生活的影响。利用 2005 年印度人类发展调查的数据，我们关注女性生活的两个方面：女性对自己生活的自主权和控制权；和女性劳动力参与率。结果表明，家庭结构是丈夫缺席影响女性的关键中介因素。不居住在大家庭中的妇女面临着更高级别的责任和更大的自主权，而生活在大家庭中的妇女则没有这些要求或好处。
This paper examines the impact of husbands’ migration on the lives of women left behind. Using data from the India Human Development Survey 2005, we focus on two dimensions of women’s lives: women’s autonomy and control over their lives; and women’s labour force participation. Results suggest that household structure forms the key mediating factor through which husbands’ absence affects women. Women not residing in extended families are faced with both higher levels of responsibilities and greater autonomy, while women who live in extended households do not experience these demands or benefits.
