Empowering women is an important goal of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, and studies have proposed various strategies to achieve this goal. However, few have examined the role of smartphone use in empowering women in decisionmaking and its mechanism. Therefore, this study analyzes how smartphone use affects women's decisionmaking power and explores whether this influence is due to women's off-farm employment mechanisms. For this purpose, the study uses the survey data of 1110 households in rural China and the endogenous treatment regression model for analysis. The control function approach addresses the selection bias of off-farm employment. The results show that smartphone use significantly increases women's decision-making power, partially channeled through increasing women's off-farm employment. The mechanism effect is robust to using both binary and intensive measurements of off-farm employment. Therefore, a policy to improve access to internet facilities and smartphone use could improve women's decision-making power through employment in the off-farm sector.

“…Previous studies have revealed that there exist gendered‐differentials in dietary diversity and nutrition intake when women are empowered by raising their share of farm revenue (Nikiema & Sakurai, 2021), increasing their relative bargaining power within the household (Pandey et al, 2021), and enhancing their labor force participation (Sangwan & Kumar, 2021). Are there any differences in outcome variables (dietary diversity, nutrition intake indicators, and total calorie intake) between males and females?…”

Improving dietary diversity and nutrition intake among rural households is essential to promote sustainable rural development. In this study, we examine whether nutrition knowledge training increases rural households' dietary diversity, nutrition intake, and total calorie intake. We consider three macronutrients (proteins, fats, and carbohydrates) and three micronutrients (vitamin C, iron, and zinc) to capture nutrition intake. The doubly robust inverse probability weighted regression adjustment estimator is employed to estimate survey data of 765 rural households collected by the Institute of Food and Nutrition Development, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China. The results show that nutrition knowledge training enhances household dietary diversity, improves the intake of macronutrients in terms of proteins and fats and micronutrients in terms of zinc, and increases total calorie intake. In addition, the intake of nutrients and calories of males responds to nutrition knowledge training while that of females does not. The dietary diversity of females increases with nutrition knowledge training, whereas that of males is unaffected. {EconLit Citations: I12, I18, Q12, E24}.

“…Furthermore, time allocation by women between productive and reproductive activities might vary based on agriculture season and regions under study. While our findings pertain to the Kharif season one round of survey, to account for the above, and capture seasonality of production and consumption, data have been collected for the Rabi season as well, which might shed more light on the complexities of intra-household dynamics, role of women and agriculture and its subsequent impact on nutrition security (36)(37)(38) .…”

Objective: In South Asia, while women make substantial economic contributions through their participation in agricultural sector, these contributions are undercounted as most of their work is underpaid or unpaid. This paper examines how mothers allocate their time to productive and reproductive activities and its association with a household’s ability to achieve high household diet diversity score. Design: The analysis uses data on household consumption and expenditure including food during the kharif (June to October) season (seeds are sown) and a modular time-use survey. Setting: Two districts of rural Bihar, India. Participants: Mothers with children less than 5 years of age and supported by the head of the household from 2026 households. Results: The estimates indicate that the high household diet diversity (High HDDS≥10) is associated with greater time spent in reproductive activities by all women (OR=1.12, 95% CI: 1.06-1.18). However, with increasing time spent in productive activities by the women the odds of achieveing ‘High HDDS’ reduced (OR= 0.83, 95% CI: 0.77-0.89) in adjusted logistic regression analysis. Conclusion: The findings highlight propensity to achieve “High HDDS” in Bihar increased with mothers allocating time towards reproductive activities, while it had an opposing effect with mothers allocating time on productive activities. Our study highlights that the policies that encourage women’s participation in agriculture or livestock should acknowledge the unpaid nature of some of the productive activities and design programs to improve economic agency of women to actuate the true potential of agriculture-nutrition pathways.
