abstract: 'The paper examines the level and changes in female and male
participation rates, employment segregation and female relative to male
wages across the world economy. It finds sufficient evidence to support
the view that labor markets in developing countries are transformed
relatively quickly in the sense that gender differentials in employment
and pay are narrowing much faster than they did in industrialized
countries. The paper evaluates the inefficiencies arising from
persisting gender differentials in the labor market and finds them to be
potentially significant. The estimates also indicate that the resulting
deadweight losses are borne primarily by women while men gain mainly in
relative terms - there are no real winners from discrimination. The
paper concludes that growth benefits women at large, inequalities can
have significantly adverse effects on welfare, and market-based
development alone can be a weak instrument for reducing inequality
between the sexes. To break the vicious circle of women''s low initial
human capital endowments and inferior labor market outcomes compared to
men''s, the paper proposes greater access of girls to education and of
women to training, enforceable equal pay and equal employment
opportunities legislation, a taxation and benefits structure that treats
reproduction as an economic activity and women as equal partners within
households, and a better accounting of women''s work to include invisible
production. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights
