This seminar introduces a novel, policy-relevant measure of multidimensional empowerment based on the Alkire-Foster method and using data from partnered women aged 15-49 in 45 low- and middle-income countries: the Multidimensional Women’s Empowerment Index (MWEI). The MWEI identifies a woman as empowered if she achieves sufficiency in at least six of its eight indicators, corresponding to four basic life domains in which women can exercise power: health, material environment, social relationships, and physical integrity. In this seminar, Jhonatan Clausen and Nicolás Barrantes (Institute of Human Development of Latin America) will present the findings of their paper using the MWEI.
