Overview

Comparative analysis reveals gender inequality increases energy poverty in Southeast Asia and Sub‐Saharan Africa, suggesting urgent policy interventions.

Key Points

  • A 1% increase in gender inequality leads to a 1.09% rise in energy poverty in Southeast Asia.
  • Renewable energy consumption has a strong negative effect on energy poverty, especially in Southeast Asia, with a reduction of 0.66%.
  • Economic development exhibits a non-linear relationship with energy poverty, initially worsening deprivation before improving with higher income.
  • Gender disparities are a critical determinant of energy access outcomes, necessitating gender-sensitive energy policies and investments.
