This project focuses on women’s health and welfare in developing countries. We investigate the persistence and determinants of a number of women hurting customs, such as early marriage, teen-age fertility, intimate partner violence and female genital cutting, and the effectiveness of policy interventions to change the relevant norms and behaviors.
