abstract: 'Latin America experienced a decline in household income inequality in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the 2000s, in sharp contrast to growing inequality in other regions of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the world. This has been attributed to macroeconomic policy, social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
spending, and increased returns to education. This paper explores this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
issue from a gender perspective by econometrically evaluating how
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
changes in economic structure and policy have impacted gendered
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment and unemployment rates, as well as gender inequality in these
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
variables, using country-level panel data for a set of 18 Latin American
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
countries between 1990 and 2010. Three variables stand out as having
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
consistent gender-equalizing effects in the labor market: social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
spending, minimum wages, and public investment. Less important or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
consistent were the effects of external factors (such as terms of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
trade), economic structure, and GDP growth.'
