abstract: 'This paper examines the short-run and medium-run impact of spending in
|
|
|
|
social infrastructure, defined as expenditure in education, childcare,
|
|
|
|
health and social care, wages and gender pay gap on output and
|
|
|
|
employment of men and women for the case of South Korea. Based on a
|
|
|
|
gendered post-Kaleckian feminist macroeconomic theoretical model, we
|
|
|
|
estimate the macroeconomic effects of social expenditure, wages and
|
|
|
|
gender pay gap using a structural vector autoregression (SVAR) analysis
|
|
|
|
for the period of 1970-2012. The results show that an increase in the
|
|
|
|
public social infrastructure significantly increases the total
|
|
|
|
nonagricultural output and employment in South Korea both in the short
|
|
|
|
and medium run. Moreover, we find that higher social infrastructure
|
|
|
|
expenditure increases female employment more than male employment in the
|
|
|
|
short run and raises both male and female employment in the medium run
|
|
|
|
due to increasing output. Finally, the results show that South Korean
|
|
|
|
economy is gender equality-led in the medium run, although the effects
|
|
|
|
are economically small in comparison to the strong effects of increases
|
|
|
|
social infrastructure spending. The results indicate that sustainable
|
|
|
|
equitable development and a substantial increase in employment requires
|
|
|
|
a mix of both labour market and fiscal policies. (C) 2022 The Author(s).
