英文文献摘要：
This paper examines the relationship between gender inequality and nutrition using direct indicators of empowerment such as mobility, decision-making power, and attitudes towards verbal and physical abuse. Our approach draws on the theory of the household as a utility maximizing unit that uses women’s status and characteristics as inputs to produce a final good, child health. Indices that capture distinct dimensions of women’s empowerment are used as explanatory variables along with controls for age and sex of the child, maternal height and education. Results from Logit models indicate that a greater degree of women’s empowerment is associated with better long term nutritional status of children. Attitudes towards domestic violence have a significant effect on chronic malnutrition and mobility; participation in decision making and ability to purchase food are important influences on dietary diversity. Our findings warrant further research and attention to inform the design and implementation of interventions. Specific research questions that emerge from these analyses relate to types of individual and community interventions that can reduce prevalence of violence and empower women in order to achieve better health and wellbeing outcomes; and policy actions, including legal instruments that can empower women and address the links between empowerment and nutrition.

本文利用诸如流动性、决策权、对言语和身体虐待的态度等直接赋权指标，研究了性别不平等与营养之间的关系。我们的方法利用家庭作为效用最大化单位的理论，利用妇女的地位和特征作为投入，以产生最终的好的、儿童的健康。这些反映妇女赋权不同维度的指数，以及对儿童年龄和性别、母亲身高和教育程度的控制，都被用作解释变量。Logit模型的结果表明，妇女赋权程度越高，儿童长期营养状况越好。对家庭暴力的态度对长期营养不良和流动性有显著影响;参与决策和购买食品的能力是影响饮食多样性的重要因素。我们的研究结果值得进一步的研究和关注，以便为干预措施的设计和实施提供信息。这些分析产生的具体研究问题涉及可降低暴力发生率和增强妇女权能以实现更好的健康和福祉结果的各种个人和社区干预措施;以及政策行动，包括能够增强妇女权能并处理增强权能与营养之间联系的法律文书。
