Meeting Miguel 2024-01-26

achieved:

• before end of year:

  • hammered out a preliminary state of the art

  • we have a synthesis that roughly follows our framework

  • 800 remaining to be screened/extracted

• focus now:

  • table reviewing main findings and strength of evidence
  • screen the remaining 200 studies
  • improve the writing on the synthesis itself
    • to adhere a little closer to framework categorization

• questions:

  • large segment of 'model-only' studies, mostly from macroeconomics
    • they do not form part of our main extracted sample pool but I just refer to them
  • logistical:
    • create extraction matrices with main/statistical findings
      • are we going to put those in the main Appendix? or do we just pass on the CSV extraction as the data?
    • is there a specific length I am going for for the end result?
    • is it fine if for now I leave intro/conclusion more vague to fit in with rest of the document
  • what we do not have anything on yet:
    • ILO Convention recommendations
    • Transition to the formal economy
    • fair trade

findings - channels - policy recc gender inequality

• supply-side effects, esp maternal (family planning incentives; job protection; equal opportunity household carework)
• persistent discrimination and cultural views (strenghtening female agency, vicious circle of low FLFP and education)
• organisational disadvantagement in new economy (promoting female networking needs, self-promotion, managerial discretions)

spatial inequality

• spatial component of non-spatial policies ()

TODO

• sort synthesis closer to framework
• create main findings table
• extract as much as possible
• create external (representativeness) / internal (strength of method) validity viz
