abstract: 'Despite recent progress, women are still disadvantaged by their greater
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
domestic labor commitments and impaired access to well-paid jobs; and,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in extreme cases, denied the right to live. This has consequences for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the well-being of individuals and economic development. Although tools
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to evaluate country performance in gender equality, especially composite
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
indicators, have been developed since the 1990s, a historical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
perspective is lacking. This study introduces a composite index of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender equality covering 129 countries from 1950 to 2003. This index
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
measures gender equality in four dimensions (socioeconomic, health,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
household, and politics). The index shows substantial progress in gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
equality, though there is little evidence that less gender-equal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
countries are catching up. Goldin''s ``quiet revolution{''''} hypothesis is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tested as an explanation for this observation, but fails to provide a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
good explanation. Rather, the long-term institutional and historical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
characteristics of countries are the main obstacles to convergence.'
