| 研究実績の概要 |
In FY 2019, we completed our empirical analyses and published a working paper in GRIPS Discussion Papers Series. Our empirical results show that married women in households with male outmigrants in Nepal are less likely to be in polygamous relationships and are more likely to have the final say on their own health issues. However, these women are less likely to have freedom to visit their family or relatives, which is probably due to increased cohabitation with their parents-in-law. We published a working paper which contain our analyses, relevant interpretation, literature review, and discussion.
In FY 2019, we also began to disseminate our results at academic seminars to receive feedback and comments. We presented our research at Tribhuvan University in Nepal to get insights from Nepalese scholars. They provided us with some critical comments about outcome measures as well as instrument variables employed in the paper. We could not address all the comments due to lack of proper data. However, we included ample discussion about our outcome measures and robustness tests of instrument variable estimation. We also provided discussion about points to be answered by future research projects.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
In FY 2020 and FY 2021, we plan to submit our work to internationally peer-reviewed journal to officially disseminate our findings and policy implications. We also plan to circulate our work in various academic seminars and workshops to learn other scholars' insight as well. However, attending conferences could be difficult this year due to uncertainty related to global pandemic.
