The Socio-Economic Impact of HIV at the Household Level in Asia: A Regional Analysis of the Impact on Women and Girls
Published By: UNDP on eSS | Published Date: December, 01 , 2011An important element of the socio-economic impact of HIV is
how it disproportionately affects women and girls, in terms of
their vulnerability to infection, constrained access to services
and the additional household burden and care responsibility
among others. The report utilises data from five country reports (Cambodia,
China, India, Indonesia and Viet Nam) covering more than 72,000
household members in over 17,000 households. The analyses
focus on comparisons between HIV-affected and non-affected
households for impacts on women and girls regarding key socioeconomic
issues: income, employment, revenues, expenditures,
coping mechanisms, health, education, food security, family
composition, pregnancy and stigma and discrimination.
