abstract: 'A large number of countries experience negative saving-investment (S-I)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gaps, which can be detrimental to economic growth. Earlier literature
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
indicates that women save more than their male counterparts. In this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
study, our preliminary aim is to understand, whether female employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rates increase domestic savings that could potentially contribute
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
positively to the S-I gaps in the low and middle-income countries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Second, we aim to investigate whether the interaction of female
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment rates and S-I gap matters for economic growth. The entire
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
analysis relies on panel data from 74 low and middle-income countries
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
over the period 2000-2017. Various panel data techniques are applied,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and they reveal similar results. The main finding of the study shows
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that low levels of female employment rate, and therefore inferior female
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
earnings, are obstacles to an adequate amount of savings accumulation,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
necessary to close the savings-investment gap and thus, to enhance
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
economic growth.'
