“…Concluding that higher levels of tolerance can be caused by greater levels of exposure to different people and divergent viewpoints, much of his initial research has been supported by subsequent studies. Education has frequently been explored as a correlate of political tolerance (Duch and Gibson 1992; Golebiowska 1995; Karpov 1999a; Wilson 1994), as has socioeconomic status (Karpov 1999a, 1999b; Katnik 2002), age (Karpov 1999a, 1999b; Wilson 1994), and region of the country (Ellison and Musick 1993; Fletcher and Sergeyev 2002).…”

Previous research has overwhelmingly found that Evangelical Protestants are generally less tolerant of outsiders than those of other religious traditions such as Catholics or Mainline Protestants. Using data from the 2005 Baylor Religion Survey, I examine the extent to which political tolerance is related to a bonding type of social capital that is typical of Evangelical Protestantism. Findings support most of the previous research into the relationship between religion and political tolerance, and support the hypothesis that social embeddedness within one’s congregation predicts intolerance among Evangelical Protestants, but not among those of other religious traditions. Implications for research into religious friendship networks and their potential dysfunctions are discussed.

“…In Kyrgyzstan, emigration peaked in the early 1990s when socioeconomic hardship 3 and uncertainty about the future caused hundreds of thousands of people to leave the country (see Figure 2a). Not surprisingly, the emigration flows immediately following the disintegration of the Soviet Union mostly comprised Russians and other Europeans who felt an increasing unease resulting from the nationalist outlook of the Kyrgyz governments, along with economic hardship (Fletcher and Sergeyev 2002). More recent emigration flows, however, have contained an increasing share of native Kyrgyz, who are attracted by the better employment and business opportunities in the neighboring countries.…”

“…Economic conditions, and with them labour markets, vary largely within the country. The North is historically more economically developed than the South and urban areas more than rural areas (Fletcher and Sergeyev, 2002;Anderson 10 Other ethnicity is mainly composed of Dungans, Uigurs, Tajiks and Kazakhs, but contains a number of other small ethnic groups as well.…”

“…Following Mincer (1958), we include her educational attainment (dummies for dierent stages of education: low, medium, and high) and age (as a proxy for experience). Kyrgyzstan is a multi-ethnic society with ethnicity-specic gender norms related to the labour market (Anderson et al, 2015;Fletcher and Sergeyev, 2002). We thus control for the ethnicity of the women.…”

To account for the endogeneity of women's co-residence with parents or in-laws, we exploit a tradition in Central Asia, namely that the youngest son of a family usually lives with his parents. Using data from Kyrgyzstan, we therefore instrument co-residence with being married to a youngest son. We find the effect of co-residence on female labour supply to be negative and insignificant. This is in contrast to the previous literature, which found substantial positive effects in less patrilocal settings. Women who co-reside in Kyrgyzstan have more children, spend similar time on housekeeping tasks and child care, and invest more time in elder care compared with women who do not co-reside.These mechanisms appear to be inherently different from those in less patrilocal settings where co-residing parents relieve the women from household chores.
