Childless and sonless in India: Implications for subjective well-being in mid- and older adulthood
Gendered time use, body mass index, and well‐being among adolescents in resource‐poor settings in India: The adverse role of domesticity
We investigated how adolescents' time allocation across daily activities influences their body mass index and well-being by paying explicit attention to gender and activities relevant to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We hypothesized that the inequitable domestic burden shouldered by girls adversely affects their health and well-being. Using data from three waves of the Young Lives Longitudinal Survey (2009, 2013, and 2016) tracking 18…
Modern Marriage in a Traditional Society: The Influence of College Education on Marriage in India
India has witnessed a dramatic expansion of higher education, and women have emerged as noteworthy winners in the process. This paper focuses on the role of female college education on four dimensions of marriage: age at marriage, autonomy in the choice of spouse, work and financial empowerment, and quality of marital relationship. The study uses a sample of 35,561 currently married women from the 2011-2012 wave of the nationally representative I…

Early marriage and health among women at midlife: Evidence from India
Objective This article links stress and cumulative disadvantage associated with early marriages with lower self‐rated health, greater functional limitations, and chronic diseases among middle‐aged women in India. Background Early marriage has been a defining feature of the marital landscape in India, but the literature is myopic in its assessment of the implications of early marriage by focusing primarily on the reproductive and sexual health out…
Fathers’ Migration and Academic Achievement among Left-behind Children in India: Evidence of Continuity and Change in Gender Preferences
This article examines the link between paternal migration and children’s arithmetic and reading achievement, using the 2005 and 2012 waves of the national India Human Development Survey (IHDS). Additionally, it investigates if fathers’ migration is associated with increased investments in children’s education and time spent on educational activities. Using propensity score matching, this article finds that fathers’ current and long-term migration…
Maternal education and the multidimensionality of child health outcomes in India
Maternal education plays a central role in children’s health, but there has been little research comparing the role of maternal education across health outcomes. It is important to distinguish child health outcomes from medical care outcomes. Health outcomes such as short-term morbidity and stunting are multifactorial in origin and determined by a range of factors not necessarily under a mother’s control. Mother’s education, given the necessary s…

For Better or Worse: The Health Implications of Marriage Separation Due to Migration in Rural China
Massive rural-to-urban migration in China has led to spatial separation of millions of married couples. In this article, we examine the question of whether the well-documented health benefits of marriage extend to left-behind individuals in rural China who are spatially separated from their spouses. Using longitudinal data that span 16 years (China Health and Nutrition Survey 1991, 1993, 1997, 2000, 2004, 2006), we compare the self-reported healt…
