abstract: 'We use microdata to calculate the gains of eliminating gender and ethnic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labor market gaps in Malaysia for the period 2010-2017. We document
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significant gaps in terms of participation in the labor market and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
entrepreneurship, distinguishing between employers and self-employed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Female-male ratios are 64\% for labor market participation, 82\% for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
self-employment, and 32\% for being employers. Across different age and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ethnic groups, gender gaps in labor force participation are particularly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pronounced for older workers and in entrepreneurship for Chinese
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
workers. Our results indicate substantial income gains if gender and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ethnic gaps were eliminated. Eliminating the entrepreneurship gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gaps increases income per capita by 6.54\% in the long run. When we also
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
include the employment gender gap, the long-run gains are 26.18\%. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
elimination of ethnic gaps could in the long run result in a smaller but
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
still sizeable increase in income per capita of 11.5\%.'
