abstract: 'This paper examines the short-run and medium-run impact of spending in
social infrastructure, defined as expenditure in education, childcare,
health and social care, wages and gender pay gap on output and
employment of men and women for the case of South Korea. Based on a
gendered post-Kaleckian feminist macroeconomic theoretical model, we
estimate the macroeconomic effects of social expenditure, wages and
gender pay gap using a structural vector autoregression (SVAR) analysis
for the period of 1970-2012. The results show that an increase in the
public social infrastructure significantly increases the total
nonagricultural output and employment in South Korea both in the short
and medium run. Moreover, we find that higher social infrastructure
expenditure increases female employment more than male employment in the
short run and raises both male and female employment in the medium run
due to increasing output. Finally, the results show that South Korean
economy is gender equality-led in the medium run, although the effects
are economically small in comparison to the strong effects of increases
social infrastructure spending. The results indicate that sustainable
equitable development and a substantial increase in employment requires
a mix of both labour market and fiscal policies. (C) 2022 The Author(s).
