Abstract: Using data from the Demographic and Health Surveys from Malawi and Peru, we identify human recognition deprived women and analyse social-demographic and socioeconomic factors influencing human recognition deprivation. We find educated spouses/partners are less likely to provide negative human recognition to women. We also observe women’s education has a small non-monotonic impact on the likelihood of human recognition deprivation. Women are also likely to be deprived if they were married more than once, have alcoholic partner/spouses and exert retaliatory behaviour. Additional heterogeneous outcomes exist for agricultural women in both countries. We argue that women’s human recognition can be improved overall with social policies/programs tackling alcohol use, violence and education in both countries.
