OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Measuring women's empowerment in low- and middle-income countries
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.
