Abstract

Understanding whether adverse shocks have gender-differentiated effects is crucial for building the resilience of women. This chapter reviews the relationship between income shocks induced by extreme weather events in Africa and women empowerment as measured through human capital variables, marriage and fertility decisions, exposure to violence and economic independence. It also discusses the channels explaining the effect of weather shocks on women empowerment and provides policy recommendations on how to address the challenges this relationship poses.
