摘要

宗教会影响性别差异吗?利用宗教裁判所审判的数据来定位意大利皮埃蒙特市的中世纪瓦尔登西亚社区和19世纪早期的女性识字率，我们发现，有瓦尔登西亚存在历史的城市在教育方面的性别差距水平较低，这种模式一直持续到今天。此外，这些城市的妇女受教育程度较高，更多地参与劳动力市场，并增加了政治代表性。我们的研究结果强调了文化和社会规范在塑造妇女赋权和性别平等成果方面的重要性。

Religion and women: How Waldensians reduced the gender gap

Does religion affect the gender gap? Using data on inquisition trials to locate medieval Waldensian communities in the Italian municipalities of Piedmont and early 19th-century female literacy rates, we find that municipalities with a history of Waldensian presence display lower levels of the education gender gap, a pattern that persists to the present day. Moreover, women in these municipalities have higher levels of education, greater labor market participation, and increased political representation. Our results highlight the importance of cultural and social norms in shaping women’s empowerment and gender equality outcomes.
