abstract: 'Latin America has seen vast improvements in gender educational and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health equality. Favorable supplyside conditions, however, have not
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
translated into greater gender economic equality, a process that also
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
depends on structural economic change and global macroeconomic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conditions. In this paper, we assess the role of a variety of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
macro-level policies and structures in influencing trends in women''s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
access to high-quality jobs for a sample of 15 countries in Latin
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
America over the period 1990-2018. Using micro-level data, we first
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
evaluate women''s relative share of good jobs, defined in terms of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women''s weekly earnings in an industry or occupation relative to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
national median wage. Further, we econometrically estimate the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
association between a variety of macro-level variables and the relative
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
quality of women''s jobs. Results indicate that the most significant and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
robust positive correlate of women''s relative access to good jobs is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
public social spending as a share of GDP. Other important
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
macro-covariates include measures of labor market regulation, monetary
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and fiscal policy, and macroeconomic structure and global orientation,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
including financial openness. The results suggest that macro-level
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
structures and policies related to globalization that hamper the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
achievement of greater gender equality can be offset by appropriately
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
targeted government policies.(c) 2022 Published by Elsevier Ltd.'
