abstract: 'This paper analyzes the differential employment impacts on women and men
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
brought about by the East Asian crisis and the preceeding periods of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
boom-bust cycles and increased openness. It is found that the growth
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
period in the second half of the 1980s favored male employment more than
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
female employment. The economic decline due to the East Asian crisis
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reversed this process and increased male unemployment more than female
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unemployment (especially in urban areas), despite a more rapid
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
displacement of women workers from the manufacturing sector. One
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
contributing factor to this is the resilience of the community, social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and personal services, and wholesale and trade sector during the crisis.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Evidence-such as increased female labor force participation and longer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
working hours for women relative to men during the crisis-points to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increased female employment and work hours in the labor market as a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
major coping mechanism during the crisis. The paper therefore argues
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that the boom-bust cycles in the macroeconomy are not gender neutral and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
contributes to increasing earnings and labor time disparities between
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women and men, to the detriment of the women. (C) 2000 Published by
