abstract: 'There is increasing interest in the consequences of uncertainty, yet
|
|
|
|
research on its effects on gender equality is scarce. This study
|
|
|
|
investigates the impact of uncertainty on gender inequality using a
|
|
|
|
sample of 100 countries over the period 1991-2017. The analysis is
|
|
|
|
carried out for 22 indicators of gender inequality in four dimensions
|
|
|
|
(employment, health, education, rights) and five uncertainties (domestic
|
|
|
|
uncertainty, world uncertainty, world trade uncertainty, global economic
|
|
|
|
policy uncertainty, geopolitical risk). First, uncertainty appears to
|
|
|
|
increase gender inequality in employment by affecting vulnerable
|
|
|
|
employment, unemployment, and self-employment; and by reducing waged and
|
|
|
|
salaried employment, numbers of contributing family workers, labour
|
|
|
|
force participation, and employment in industry and services. Second,
|
|
|
|
uncertainty is found to be very harmful in its effect on gender equality
|
|
|
|
in health, as it decreases life expectancy and survival to age 65, and
|
|
|
|
increases the mortality of women. Third, uncertainty improves gender
|
|
|
|
equality in education, as it increases school enrolment at primary and
|
|
|
|
tertiary levels. Fourth, uncertainty improves the Women, Business and
|
|
|
|
the Law Index, but has mixed effects on women''s economic, political, and
|
|
|
|
social rights.(c) 2022 Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois.
