Abstract

This study explores the intra-household inequalities in Egypt, considering the gender role attitudes, female asset ownership and the domestic violence wives experience from their husbands. We apply a standard intra-household collective model and estimate the spouses’ labour supply equations. The empirical analysis relies on the Egypt Economic Cost of Gender-Based Violence Survey (ECGBVS) conducted in 2015. The cost may reach 2,500 Egyptian pounds per year if women have undergone any form of domestic violence from their partner, including physical, psychological, or sexual abuse. On the other hand, female asset ownership empowers women and enhances their bargaining power. The findings may provide insights on the development of policies, particularly about welfare indicators and actions aimed at reducing poverty. Intimate partner abuse can also hinder women’s participation in the labour market, leading to increased absenteeism, less productivity, and lower income.
