Abstract
Mainstreaming gender analysis into all aspects of policy making, including infrastructure
and economic policy, is a key aspect to achieving gender equality. The main objective of this paper
is to examine the impact of several public infrastructures on well-being by gender, applying the
Capability and Subjective Well-being approaches. An index of access to infrastructure is constructed
and its effect on well-being is estimated using a new survey dataset from Spain. The results from the
logistic regression model show that access to infrastructure positively affects subjective well-being,
particularly of female respondents. All dimensions of infrastructure matter more for women’s wellbeing
than men’s. Important differences in the impact on well-being by the types of infrastructures
analyzed and the impact differs significantly by age are obtained. The findings suggest that designing
public infrastructure policies can contribute to reducing gender well-being gap.
