英文文献摘要:
This study investigates the effect of inequality on female employment in 42 countries in sub-Saharan Africa for the period 2004-2014. Three inequality indicators are used, namely, the: Gini coefficient, Atkinson index and Palma ratio. Two indicators of gender inclusion are also employed, namely: female employment and female unemployment rates. The empirical analysis is based on the Generalised Method of Moments (GMM).The following main findings are established. First, inequality increases female unemployment in regressions based on the Palma ratio. Second, from the robustness checks, inequality reduces female employment within the frameworks of the Gini coefficient and Palma ratio.
本研究调查了2004-2014年撒哈拉以南非洲42个国家的不平等对女性就业的影响。使用三个不平等指标,即:基尼系数、阿特金森指数和帕尔马比率。性别纳入的两个指标也被采用,即:女性就业和女性失业率。经验分析基于广义矩法(GMM)。以下主要发现被证实。首先,在基于帕尔马比率的回归分析中,不平等增加了女性失业率。其次,从稳健性检验来看,在基尼系数和帕尔马比率的框架内,不平等降低了女性就业率。
