# Notes
## Perez2022
summary: multi-disciplinary systematic review of association between income, employment, urban poverty. n=243 articles, academic focus on advanced economies; finds significant role of employment in life of urban poor;
findings: most relevant barriers for improving labour market outcomes: lack of access to public transport, geographical segregation, labour informality, inadequate human capital
[@Perez2022] identify a multitude of factors which ultimately affect income, employment and urban poverty.
Among them:
gender inequality, through traditional gender roles and lack of empowerment, a lack of childcare, or inequal domestic work;
low human capital, which can originate through pre-existing inequalities,
spatial inequality, through lack of access to transportation, residential segregation or discrimination, limited access to work,
the inter-generational persistence of poverty as well as the impacts of pre-existing inequalities such as lower human capital or larger household sizes;
and external factors such as extreme weather events or inflation.
Strategies to reduce poverty/unemployment are:
participation in informal sectors or illegal activities,
credit programs,
consumption from informal food sources,
family and institutional support for childcare,
guaranteed minimum income or universal basic income and/or living wage,
income diversification,
commuting subsidies,
housing mobility programs, and
migration.
## Zeinali2021
systematic review of female leadership in health sector (LMICs) using intersectional analysis
main findings: main barriers at intersection of gender and social identity of professional cadre, race/ethnicity, financial status, culture;
main barriers limiting women's access to career development resources: mentorship, sponsorship opportunities, reduce value, recognition, respect at work for women;
channels: increased likelihood for women to take on 'dual burdens' professional work and childcare/domestic work, biased views effectiveness of men/women's leadership styles.
## Pinto2021
systematic review of impact of basic income interventions (n=86; 10 different interventions) on labour market, health, educational, housing and other outcomes
main findings: workforce participation was main dependent variable for studies, evaluation shift over time to include wider array of outcomes reflecting reigning perspective of BI investments possibly lowering health & social care spending; large focus on advanced economies (US)
## Finlay2001
narrative review of connection between women's reproductive health and women's economic activity (and gender equality); looking at (causal) effect of fertility (timing, spacing, number of children) on female labour force participation changes (career advancement, job quality, hours worked); separation between LI,MI,HI countries
main findings:
- low-inc countries women have to adopt individual strategies of balancing child rearing and labour force part. through selection of job type, relying on other household women for childcare, birth spacing due to mostly informal work
- middle-inc countries women have to juggle child rearing, labour force part. with overall income inequality; early childbearing and lone motherhood perpetuate poverty
- high-inc countries, SP policies can assist women in managing childrearing and work balance but underlying issues of gender inequality remain
- all: childbearing interrupts career advancement
## Chaudhuri2021
systematic review on effects of food insecurity (common byproduct of poverty) on health and social outcomes, focusing on women and children
main findings:
- female coping behaviours are non-food (livelihood alterations: outdoor employment, asset base selling, borrowing food/money, purchasing food on credit) or food-based (reducing daily intake sizes/frequency, food rationing; nutritional switch; food sharing);
- (obligatory) outdoor employment mostly as farm labourers, can result in time poverty
- children coping behaviours are begging, stealing, food seeking (with relatives/friends/charitable institutions), dropping out of school
- health outcome includes disrupted socio-cognitive development among children
## Chang2021
systematic qualitative review of effects of return to paid employment and breast-feeding (n=26)
main findings: women experienced physical and emotional difficulties, described gender and employment inequalities in accessing and receiving the support they needed; importance of having workplace legislation in place (and individual motivation) to facilitate breastfeeding during employment; support from employers/colleagues/family members & access to convenient child care helped facilitate breast feeding on return to paid employment
channels:
- gender role expectations viewing women as responsible for domestic work or childcare (especially in LMICs)
- shorter maternity leave times discourage decision towards breast-feeding
## Silvaggi2020
systematic review looking at effect of brain tumors on on work ability of those affected (and BT survivors) (n=7)
main findings: impact of neuropsychological functioning on work productivity, change of employment status for long-term survivors (?most often? job loss), issues related to return to work process
channels: depressive symptoms/cognitive deficits, high short-term mortality, environmental barriers
policy recc: vocational rehabilitation
## dePaz-Banez2020
systematic review of effects of UBI on labour supply (n=38)
main finding: not found any evidence of significant reduction in labour supply, instead labour supply increases globally among adults, men, women, young, old; some insignificant (functional) reductions for: children, elderly, sick, those with disabilities, women with young children to look after, young people who continued studying - do not reduce overall supply since offset by otherwise increased supply
## Lindsay2018a
systematic review of role of gender in employment for disabled young adults (n=48)
main finding:
- majority (21) reported young men with disabilities better employment outcomes than women, fewer (8) showed reverse, minority (5) reported no difference
- men with disabilities often work more hours and have higher wages
- youth with disabilities half as likely to be employed as typically developing peers; starting life with disability often compounds disadvantages
channels:
- social supports
- gender role expectations
- lowered expectations
- overprotection from parents/guardians discouraging independence
## Kumari2018
systematic review looking at relationship of female labour force participation and economic growth, gender disparity in work participation
main findings: U-shaped part. rate; evidence of gender pay disparity across sectors
channels affecting FLFP:
- demographic factors (fertility, migration, marriages, child care)
- economic factors (unemployment, per capita income, non-farm job, infrastructure)
- regulatory context (family and childcare policies, tax regimes, presence of subsidized healthcare)
policy recc: changes to FLFP require replacement of traditional value system based on inequality of sexes (with females playing subordinate role)
