| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of the research is to empirically explore the impact of dowry on women's welfare in the marital household, and to lead to the related policy implications.
The unique household survey was conducted in rural Punjab, Pakistan, which is used in the empirical analysis. According to the empirial results that take endogeneity of dowry into account and control the financial level of households, a higher amount of dowry increases women's decision-making power and freedom of movement in the marital household, and decreases time spent for household chores. I presented the research paper at the conferences in Japan and abroad, and submitted it to the academic journal.
