This study assesses the sex-disaggregated effect of access to energy across the country. The analysis focuses on three main factors: the challenges that female-headed households (FHHs) face in accessing reliable electricity and heating services; whether FHHs struggle more than male-headed households (MHHs) to pay for utilities; and how often FHHs use coping mechanisms such as reducing food, health care, and other purchases to meet basic needs. The analysis suggests that FHHs have similar access to energy as MHHs but find it harder to pay for utilities and basic needs. FHHs are more likely than MHHs to reduce their food consumption and borrow money to pay for basic needs. Poor FHHs with employed household members are more likely to reduce their food consumption than MHHs with no employed household members. 2020-02-11T19:44:15Z 2020-02-11T19:44:15Z 2019-12 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/768871580801924356/Energy-Vulnerability-in-Female-headed-Households-Findings-from-the-Listening-to-Citizens-of-Uzbekistan-Survey http://hdl.handle.net/10986/33314 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Energy Study Europe and Central Asia Uzbekistan
