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.'
