abstract: 'In this paper, we analyse the relationship between Chinese import
competition and gendered labor market outcomes within the context of a
developing country. To do this, we merge a rich manufacturing firm-level
panel data set from Ethiopia with trade data covering the years
1997-2010. Thus, we map out the effect of trade shocks from import
surges on labor force participation and compensation, decomposed by
gender. Results from the study show that rising import competition from
China had a heterogeneous effect on female and male labor market
outcomes. Import competition from China is associated with a negative
and statistically significant effect on female employment, but not male
employment. Looking at workers'' occupation, we find that for production
workers import competition is adversely related with female employment
outcomes while there is no statistically significant association with
employment of administrative workers. For wage inequality, male wages in
general are negatively associated with import competition, while we
found no effect on female wages.'
