Better infrastructure is expected to raise female labour force participation. One way to measure it is the “women most-say index” developed by Montag (Montag 2011). The index counts the number of cases in which the respondent identified herself as the one who has the most say in a household in response to the following 5 questions: What do you cook on a daily basis; whether to buy an expensive item such as a TV or fridge; how many children do you have; what do you do if a child falls sick; and who should your children marry?
