abstract: 'Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the themes of
relationship between female labor force participation (FLFP) and
economic growth, gender disparity in work participation; and to identify
the factors which determine females to participate in labor market. The
paper uses a framework incorporating a U-shaped relationship between
FLFP and economic growth, gender wise wage disparity and economic,
social, cultural and other factors which affects FLFP.
Design/methodology/approach Thematically, the selected literature falls
into three main categories: the relationship between FLFP and economic
growth; disparity in work participation in terms of male and female
wages; and drivers or determinants of FLFP which have been described
using international documents and experiences of the different
countries. The review closes by identifying gaps in the existing
research base and by suggesting areas for inquiry that have been
untouched and warrant further research.
Findings The key findings emerging from this examination of literature
show that the FLFP rate exhibits a U-shaped during the process of
economic development. Also, there are evidences of gender pay disparity
across the sectors which have been justified by documenting a large
number of existing literatures. Demographic factors (including
fertility, migration, marriages and child care), economic factors
(including unemployment, per capita income, non-farm job and
infrastructure) and other explanatory variables which include the
regulatory context encompassing family and childcare policies, tax
regimes, and presence of subsidized health-care for workers determine
the FLFP.
Practical implications This paper suggests that in order to bring
equality in gender pay gap, there is a requirement of replacing the
traditional value system. There is need to provide an environment in
which women are encouraged and supported in their efforts, in which
women have equitable access to resources and opportunities.
Social implications This paper addresses the impact of education,
culture and child care subsidies on female labor participation. They
positively impact FLFP and such a link has not been sufficiently
addressed in prior literature.
Originality/value In contrast to previous studies which document a
broad-based picture of female work participation, this type of research
deals with the link between economic growth and female labor
participation, gender wage disparity and determinants of it which has
been largely unexplored so far.'
