abstract: 'How do perceptions of one''s relative economic status affect gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
attitudes, including support for women''s economic participation and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
involvement in decision-making in their community and household? We
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conducted a 2018 survey experiment with female and male adults in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
approximately 1000 households in Papua New Guinea. Employing an
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
established survey treatment to subtly alter respondents'' perception of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
their relative economic wellbeing, we find that increased feelings of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
relative deprivation make both men and women significantly more likely
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to support girls'' schooling and women''s paid employment, suggesting that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
relative economic insecurity can actually prompt support for women''s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
economic participation. However, increased feelings of relative
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
deprivation may trigger greater intrahousehold tension. While increased
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
perceptions of relative deprivation cause women to want more household
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
decision-making authority, men''s attitudes toward women''s proper roles
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in decision-making are unchanged. In other words, increased support for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women''s economic participation among men appears to stem mainly from a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
desire to raise household income, and not to alter the general role of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women in society. The results underscore the multifaceted nature of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender attitudes, and how support for women''s economic participation may
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rise without simultaneous increases in women''s agency in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
decision-making. (C) 2020 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd.'
