摘要

由于妇女赋权与发展和人口统计相关,特别是在西非,妇女赋权一直是人们关注的主题。妇女赋权通常被视为妇女的个人属性,与社会经济和人口特征相关。然而,我们假设西非地区存在妇女赋权的地理环境,在那里,赋权过程具有文化背景,并植根于当地。这种地理格局可以通过该地区的空间关联进行观察。本研究使用了 14 个西非国家过去十年的人口与健康调查数据,并结合先进的统计方法和空间评估,采用创新的多阶段方法分析了西非地区的妇女赋权指标及其空间变异性。首先,我们使用多元分类方法来识别对增强权能问题的回答模式,并得出增强权能分类方案。接下来,我们利用这些分类绘制西非地图,描述该地区妇女赋权的空间变化。最后,我们对数据拟合了多项式结构地理加成回归模型,分析妇女赋权的空间变化,同时控制某些社会经济-人口特征。我们的结果表明,即使控制了个人的社会经济人口特征,妇女对赋权调查问题的回答也确实存在地域差异。这一结果表明,妇女赋权除了与社会经济和人口特征有关外,还可能与地方文化的方方面面有关。

The Geography of Women's Empowerment in West Africa.

Women's empowerment has been a subject of interest because of its relevance to development and demography, particularly in West Africa. Women's empowerment is typically conceptualized as an individual attribute of women, associated with socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. However, we hypothesize a geography of women's empowerment in the West African region, where empowerment processes are culturally situated and embedded in place. Such a geography would be observable via spatial associations over the region. This study uses Demographic and Health Survey data from 14 West African states over the past decade and an innovative multi-stage approach combining advanced statistical methods and spatial assessment to analyze indicators of women's empowerment and its spatial variability across the West African region. First we use a multivariate classification method to identify patterns in responses to empowerment questions and derive an empowerment classification scheme. Next we use these classifications to render a map of West Africa depicting the spatial variation of women's empowerment in the region. Ultimately, we fit multinomial structured geo-additive regression models to the data to analyze spatial variation in women's empowerment while controlling for certain socioeconomic-demographic characteristics. Our results demonstrate that women's responses to empowerment survey questions indeed vary geographically, even when controlling for individual socioeconomic-demographic attributes. This finding suggests that women's empowerment may relate to aspects of culture embedded in place in addition to the ways it relates to socioeconomic and demographic characteristics.

期刊介绍: Spatial Demography focuses on understanding the spatial and spatiotemporal dimension of demographic processes.  More specifically, the journal is interested in submissions that include the innovative use and adoption of spatial concepts, geospatial data, spatial technologies, and spatial analytic methods that further our understanding of demographic and policy-related related questions. The journal publishes both substantive and methodological papers from across the discipline of demography and its related fields (including economics, geography, sociology, anthropology, environmental science) and in applications ranging from local to global scale. In addition to research articles the journal will consider for publication review essays, book reviews, and reports/reviews on data, software, and instructional resources.
