There is an enormous interest in development interventions aimed at reducing behavioural poverty traps, including by raising women's and girls' aspirations, or future-oriented goals.

These files consist of the do-files and data for reproducing results presented in the article, "The Gendered Impacts of Income Fluctuations on Household Departure, Labor Supply, and Human Capital Decisions" (Kosec et al., 2021).

Using primary survey data collected in Tajikistan, Nepal and Senegal, three countries with high male outmigration rates, this study analyzes the impacts of migration on the empowerment of women who remain in rural areas.

Agriculture in Central Asia is vulnerable to climate change due to rising aridity, declining availability of water resources for irrigation, and low adaptive capacity.

This paper examines the relationship between women’s empowerment and infant and young child feeding practices in Central Asia using Demographic and Health Survey datasets collected during 1995–2017.

How do fluctuations in income affect labor supply decisions, and how do their effects differ by gender? We analyze data from a 13-year rolling panel in Kyrgyzstan spanning 2004—2016.

This study uses individual level data from a 13-year, nationally representative rotating panel survey of Kyrgyzstan to estimate the effects of fluctuations in predicted income on health and nutrition outcomes from early childhood to adulthood.
