Abstract
This article explores determinants of women's autonomy in Egypt around the beginning of the 'Arab Spring' in 2011. We show that women's autonomy over time is a product not only of their individual characteristics, but also of the household and community environment in which they live. Using the 2006 and 2012 Egyptian Labor Market Panel Survey (ELMPS) and multilevel models, results demonstrate that women's autonomy changes over time. There are large and consistent variations in women's autonomy by household region of residence and wealth. For example, women in the rural and urban Upper Egypt region are less autonomous than women in the Cairo region, and women in wealthier households are less autonomous compared to the poorest households. Programs aiming to increase women's autonomy focus exclusively or primarily on women's own characteristics. These results indicate that strategies to improve women's autonomy should be mindful of the multiple dimensions of autonomy and have a programmatic focus on changing household and social environments.
