Change in domestic fuel consumption in central Mexico and its relation to employment and nutrition

M. I. Evans

ILO Working Papers from International Labour Organization

Abstract: Building on earlier empirical work by the same author, the study describes changes over time in two villages in Central Mexico having differential access to household fuel supplies and to income-generating opportunities. While not disproving any links between fuel consumption and nutrition, points to other key issues, especially in relation to women's employment and their wage earning capabilities, now necessary to provide sufficient cash to survive in the modern market economy.
