This unique research design made it possible to compare groups and identify the impact of employment. We asked both groups of women the same questions to measure a variety of indicators of women's empowerment. These questions were around economic decision making , their influence on number of children they would have, and their levels of political interest and participation.
Contrary to expectations, our research found no evidence to suggest that the job offers had any positive effect on political participation. We saw no effect of employment on women's bargaining power or gender equality norms. We even found a reduction in women's participation in community meetings.
