家庭能源贫困对女性健康的影响与机制分析

缓解能源贫困成为中国减排和减贫双重目标下的关键突破口。当前能源贫困问题严峻、能源扶贫成效欠佳，且受制于性别不平等的社会规范，能源贫困对健康的危害呈现显著性别差异。从性别视角探索多元能源扶贫长效机制；从预防机制角度，保障女性福利是前沿热点研究。剖析清洁能源获取、性别平等和良好健康三大可持续发展目标之间的复杂互动关系是探索社会可持续发展实现路径的重要科学命题。项目拟将性别平等程度纳入效用函数，从污染物接触频率和清洁能源偏好两个渠道，系统揭示能源贫困、性别平等和女性健康的内在机理。通过多维度、多指标衡量家庭能源贫困及其动态变化；多层面、多视角构建性别平等指标体系，综合运用数据匹配、函数建模、计量分析和随机对照实验等技术方法，实证研究性别平等在能源贫困对女性身心健康双重影响中的作用渠道。藉此归纳提炼社会规范在能源贫困产生及其影响中的作用机制，为构建兼顾绿色环保和性别平等的公共卫生体系提供决策依据。

Alleviating energy poverty presents challenges to achieve the targets of “emission reduction” and “poverty reduction” in China. Recently, however, the progress towards alleviating energy poverty has been remarkably slow. Moreover, due to gender inequality, the causal relation between energy poverty and health shows significant gender differences. Thereby, by exploring multiple approaches to deal with energy poverty and establishing a preventive mechanism for protecting women’s welfare are directions of the frontier research. Additionally, analyzing the complex nexus among various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): clean energy access (SDG 7), gender equality (SDG 5) and good health (SDG 3) is of great importance towards sustainable development of the society. In doing so, by adding gender equality into the utility function as well as exploring the mechanisms of women's closeness to polluted energy and the preference of clean energy, this grant application theoretically reveals the interlinkage among energy poverty, gender equality and the health of women. Thereafter, this project makes a comprehensive assessment of energy poverty with multi-dimensional approach and demand-based indicators. In addition, gender equality is measured by multi-levels and multi-facets. By adopting Data Matching, Function Modeling, Econometric Analyzing and Randomized Control Trials (RCT), in the empirical analysis, this project researches on the impact of energy poverty on both physical and mental health of women. Furthermore, we verify effects of gender equality on the causal relationship above. On this basis, this project explores the role of social norms in shaping energy poverty and its adverse influences. In terms of public policy, the insights obtained from the project could propose to establish a public health system by combining environmental sustainability with gender-based equality.
