abstract: 'Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the differences in the
|
||||
|
||||
effects of gender equality legislation on employment outcomes among
|
||||
|
||||
female and male workers in industries with different intensity of
|
||||
|
||||
foreign investment (namely, foreign direct investment (FDI)-intensive
|
||||
|
||||
industries and non-FDI-intensive industries). The specific employment
|
||||
|
||||
outcomes that were studied to compare the effects of the legislation are
|
||||
|
||||
the working hours, employment opportunities, and wages of female and
|
||||
|
||||
male workers in Taiwan.
|
||||
|
||||
Design/methodology/approach - Using data from the annual Manpower
|
||||
|
||||
Utilization Survey, the authors applied a
|
||||
|
||||
differences-in-differences-in-differences estimation method to test the
|
||||
|
||||
effect of gender equality legislation on employment outcomes. By using
|
||||
|
||||
multinomial logit, the authors measured the effect of the legislation on
|
||||
|
||||
employment opportunities. To correct for simultaneity and selectivity
|
||||
|
||||
problems/biases, the authors adopted Heckman two-stage selection
|
||||
|
||||
procedures. Likewise, the authors used weighted least squares to solve
|
||||
|
||||
heteroskedasticity in the wage and working hour equations. Further, the
|
||||
|
||||
instrumental variable (IV) method was used to correct for simultaneity
|
||||
|
||||
bias in the equation on working hour. The authors applied three stages
|
||||
|
||||
estimation method following Killingsworth''s (1983) approach to measure
|
||||
|
||||
the effect of the legislation on wages and working hours.
|
||||
|
||||
Findings - The authors found the restrictions enforced by the gender
|
||||
|
||||
equality legislation (namely the Gender Equal Employment Act (GEEA),
|
||||
|
||||
enacted in 2002) in Taiwan to have made certain impact on the workers''
|
||||
|
||||
working conditions in FDI-intensive industries. The major finding
|
||||
|
||||
indicated that in a country like Taiwan, where the legislature tried
|
||||
|
||||
tilling the perpetual gender gap in its labour market, by passing a law
|
||||
|
||||
to counter inequality, could finally narrow the gender gap in wages
|
||||
|
||||
among workers in the FDI-intensive industries. Although initially after
|
||||
|
||||
the enactment of the GEEA (between 2002 and 2004), the gender gap in
|
||||
|
||||
part-timers'' wages has widened, yet over a period of time the gap in
|
||||
|
||||
their wages too has narrowed down, particularly during 2005-2006. The
|
||||
|
||||
legislation, however, could not improve the job opportunities for
|
||||
|
||||
full-time female workers'' in FDI-intensive industries. Besides, post
|
||||
|
||||
2002, the female workers were found to have worked for shorter hours
|
||||
|
||||
than male workers, which according to us, could be largely attributed to
|
||||
|
||||
the enforcement of the GEEA.
|
||||
|
||||
Practical implications - An in-depth analysis of the labour market
|
||||
|
||||
effects of gender equality legislation should be useful to policymakers,
|
||||
|
||||
especially those interested in understanding the impact of legislative
|
||||
|
||||
measures and policy reforms on labour market and employment outcomes
|
||||
|
||||
across industry types. If enforcement of a gender equality legislation
|
||||
|
||||
has succeeded in reducing the gender gap more in one set of industries
|
||||
|
||||
than the others (e.g. foreign owned instead of domestic industries), as
|
||||
|
||||
the authors noticed in this study, then the same should have a bearing
|
||||
|
||||
on revamping of future enactment and enforcement too.
|
||||
|
||||
Originality/value - Current study findings would not only provide the
|
||||
|
||||
broad lessons to the policymakers in Taiwan, but the results that have
|
||||
|
||||
emerged from a country case study could be referred by other growing
|
||||
|
||||
economies who are enthusiastic about improving female workers'' working
|
||||
|
||||
conditions through legislative reforms.'
