| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study has mainly three achievements:(1)Intervention offering the workshop in which girls and their parents could connect with female role model, (2)Phone-based survey to explore the effects of COVID-19 induced lockdown and school closure on children, (3)Empirical analysis on female labor force participation (LFP) in the patriarchal South Asian society.
(1) originally hypothesized that, in the patriarchal society, the intervention to girls with parents, but not girls alone, would be effective to enhance girls’ LFP. However, the empirical results show that the intervention to girls alone significantly and strongly enhanced their LFP. (2) showed that during the school closure, girls' time spent on household chores increased substantially more than boys', and the risk of female child marriage has increased among the households who had financial shock due to COVID-19 lockdown. (3) showed that increased girls’ agency, but not their academic or vocational skills, enhanced their LFP.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
①について、家父長的な社会規範に影響を与えることを目的とした介入実験の成果はまだ解明されておらず研究途上であり、学術的な意義は大きい。②について、コロナ禍のロックダウン・学校閉鎖がもたらした弊害については、学力の低下や児童婚の上昇など、UNICEFやUNFPA、UNESCOといった国際機関が警鐘を鳴らしている。本研究はその影響を実証したものであり、国際開発への政策的意義は大きい。③について、家父長的社会では、単なる学校教育による女子への人的投資では足らず、女子のエンパワメント教育の重要性を実証しており、学術的、国際開発への政策的意義ともに大きい。
