abstract: 'The focus of this study is the implications of structural transformation
|
||||
|
||||
for gender equality, specifically equal pay, in Sub-Saharan Africa.
|
||||
|
||||
While structural transformation affects key development outcomes,
|
||||
|
||||
including growth, poverty, and access to decent work, its effect on the
|
||||
|
||||
gender pay gap is not clear ex-ante. Evidence on the gender pay gap in
|
||||
|
||||
sub-Saharan Africa is limited, and often excludes rural areas and
|
||||
|
||||
informal (self-)employment. This paper provides evidence on the extent
|
||||
|
||||
and drivers of the gender pay gap in non-farm wage- and self-employment
|
||||
|
||||
activities across three countries at different stages of structural
|
||||
|
||||
transformation (Malawi, Tanzania and Nigeria). The analysis leverages
|
||||
|
||||
nationally-representative survey data and decomposition methods, and is
|
||||
|
||||
conducted separately among individuals residing in rural versus urban
|
||||
|
||||
areas in each country. The results show that women earn 40 to 46 percent
|
||||
|
||||
less than men in urban areas, which is substantially less than in
|
||||
|
||||
high-income countries. The gender pay gap in rural areas ranges from (a
|
||||
|
||||
statistically insignificant) 12 percent in Tanzania to 77 percent in
|
||||
|
||||
Nigeria. In all rural areas, a major share of the gender pay gap (81
|
||||
|
||||
percent in Malawi, 83 percent in Tanzania and 70 percent in Nigeria) is
|
||||
|
||||
explained by differences in workers'' characteristics, including
|
||||
|
||||
education, occupation and sector. This suggests that if rural men and
|
||||
|
||||
women had similar characteristics, most of the gender pay gap would
|
||||
|
||||
disappear. Country-differences are larger across urban areas, where
|
||||
|
||||
differences in characteristics account for only 32 percent of the pay
|
||||
|
||||
gap in Tanzania, 50 percent in Malawi and 81 percent in Nigeria. Our
|
||||
|
||||
detailed decomposition results suggest that structural transformation
|
||||
|
||||
does not consistently help bridge the gender pay gap. Gender-sensitive
|
||||
|
||||
policies are required to ensure equal pay for men and women.'
