Replication Data for: Aspirations and Women's Empowerment: Evidence from Kyrgyzstan

These files consist of the do-files and data for reproducing results presented in the article, "Aspirations and Women's Empowerment: Evidence from Kyrgyzstan" (Kosec et al, 2021). The data files were constructed from the fourth and fifth rounds of the Life in Kyrgyzstan Study (LiKS), collected in 2013 and 2016, respectively. LikS is a longitudinal, multi-topic survey respresentative at both the national and area (East, West, North, South) levels. These two rounds of the Liks were used in the analysis because they contain a common set of nine questions related to gender attitudes, and on 17 questions related to who makes household decisions, answered by all adults aged 18-54. A new aspirations module was added to the 2016 round not fielded in any other LiKS rounds. All household members aged 18–54 were asked about the levels of 1) current, 2) desired, and 3) expected (in 10 years) achievements in the areas of household income, household asset wealth, average education of family members, personal social status, and personal security. The details about the questions are included in the Appendix B and C of the article.

本数据集包含用于复现《抱负与女性赋权：来自吉尔吉斯斯坦的实证证据》（Kosec等人，2021年）一文研究结果的do文件（do-file）与原始数据。所用数据来源于2013年与2016年分别采集的《吉尔吉斯斯坦生活状况研究》（Life in Kyrgyzstan Study, LiKS）第四轮与第五轮调查数据。LiKS是一项纵向多主题调查，在全国及区域（东、西、北、南）层面均具有代表性。本次分析选用该调查的这两轮数据，原因在于二者均包含一套共9道与性别态度相关的题目，以及17道关于家庭决策主体的题目，所有18至54岁的成年受访者均需作答这些题目。2016年轮次新增了一套抱负相关模块，该模块未在其他任何LiKS轮次中施测过。所有18至54岁的家庭成年成员均需回答关于以下五个领域的成就水平问题：1）当前成就、2）期望成就、3）未来10年的预期成就，具体领域包括家庭收入、家庭资产财富、家庭成员平均受教育水平、个人社会地位以及个人安全感。相关题目的详细说明已收录于本文的附录B与附录C中。
