论文摘要
妇女代理机构定义为构思有目的计划并执行与此类计划一致的行动的能力，可以在确定健康状况方面发挥重要作用。本文使用在孟加拉国达卡市的一项调查中进行的女性受访者的数据，探讨了妇女机构与她们身心健康的关系。调查结果表明，高级机构的女性平均会经历明显较小的精神困扰。违反直觉，这些妇女更有可能报告身体健康状况不佳。作为解释，我们提出了有目的的有目的的行动，这是一个潜在的原因，在这种原因中，她们在将来构想了目的并制定了当今可行的行动。因此，这些妇女更喜欢举报疾病并获得所需的治疗方法，以确保未来的健康状况。这阐明了我们对可持续发展的理解，并强调了妇女机构在可持续人类发展中的关键作用。
Women agency defined as the ability to conceive of purposeful plan and to carry out action consistent with such a plan can play an important role in determining health status. Using data from female respondents conducted in a survey in the city of Dhaka in Bangladesh, this paper explores how women agency relates to their physical and mental health. The findings indicate women with high agency to experience significantly lesser mental distress on average. Counterintuitively, these women are more likely to report poor physical health. As an explanation, we propose purposeful action among women with high agency as a potential reason, wherein they conceive purpose in the future and formulate action that is feasible today. Hence, these women prefer to report illness and get the required treatment to ensure better future health. This illuminates our understanding of sustainable development and emphasises the critical role of women agency for sustainable human development.
