abstract: 'Persistent gender gaps characterise labour markets in many African
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
countries. Utilising Eswatini''s first three labour market surveys
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(conducted in 2007, 2010, and 2013), this paper provides first
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
systematic evidence on the country''s gender gaps in employment and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
earnings. We find that women have notably lower employment rates and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
earnings than men, even though the global financial crisis had a less
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
negative impact on women than it had on men. Both unadjusted and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unexplained gender earnings gaps are higher in self-employment than in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wage employment. Tertiary education and urban location account for a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
large part of the gender earnings gap and mitigate high female
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
propensity to self-employment. Our findings suggest that policies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
supporting female higher education and rural-urban mobility could reduce
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
persistent inequalities in Eswatini''s labour market outcomes as well as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in other middle-income countries in southern Africa.'
