abstract: 'Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explain relations between
|
|
|
|
socioeconomic factors and gender longevity gap and to test a number of
|
|
|
|
contradicting theories. Design/methodology/approach Fixed effects models
|
|
|
|
are used for cross-country panel data analysis. Findings The authors
|
|
|
|
show that in developed countries (Organization for Economic Cooperation
|
|
|
|
and Development and European Union) a lower gender longevity gap is
|
|
|
|
associated with a higher real GDP per capita, a higher level of
|
|
|
|
urbanization, lower income inequality, lower per capita alcohol
|
|
|
|
consumption and a better ecological environment. An increase in women''s
|
|
|
|
aggregate unemployment rate and a decline in men''s unemployment are
|
|
|
|
associated with a higher gap in life expectancies. There is also some
|
|
|
|
evidence that the effect of the share of women in parliaments has a
|
|
|
|
U-shape; it has a better descriptive efficiency if taken with a
|
|
|
|
four-year lag, which approximately corresponds to the length of
|
|
|
|
political cycles. Practical implications - The findings are important
|
|
|
|
for policy discussions, such as designs of pension schemes, gender-based
|
|
|
|
taxation, ecological, urban, health and labor policy. Social
|
|
|
|
implications - The factors that increase male and female longevities
|
|
|
|
also reduce the gender longevity gap. Originality/value The results
|
|
|
|
contradict to a number of studies for developing countries, which show
|
|
|
|
that lower economic development and greater women discrimination result
|
|
|
|
in a lower gender longevity gap. Peer review The peer review history for
