abstract: 'In this paper, we analyse the relationship between Chinese import
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
competition and gendered labor market outcomes within the context of a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
developing country. To do this, we merge a rich manufacturing firm-level
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
panel data set from Ethiopia with trade data covering the years
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1997-2010. Thus, we map out the effect of trade shocks from import
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
surges on labor force participation and compensation, decomposed by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender. Results from the study show that rising import competition from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
China had a heterogeneous effect on female and male labor market
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outcomes. Import competition from China is associated with a negative
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and statistically significant effect on female employment, but not male
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment. Looking at workers'' occupation, we find that for production
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
workers import competition is adversely related with female employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outcomes while there is no statistically significant association with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment of administrative workers. For wage inequality, male wages in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
general are negatively associated with import competition, while we
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
found no effect on female wages.'
