abstract: 'Women''s participation in the labour market in Central America, Panama,
|
|
|
|
and the Dominican Republic (CAPADOM) is low by international standards.
|
|
|
|
Increasing their participation is a goal of many policymakers who want
|
|
|
|
to improve women''s access to quality employment. This study uses data
|
|
|
|
from CAPADOM to assess whether gender equality in the law increases
|
|
|
|
women''s participation in the labour force and, if that is the case, the
|
|
|
|
extent to which this boosts GDP per capita. To do so, the authors use a
|
|
|
|
panel VAR model. The results show that CAPADOM could increase female
|
|
|
|
labour participation rate by 6 percentage points (pp) and GDP per capita
|
|
|
|
by 1 pp by introducing gender-related legal changes such as equal pay
|
|
|
|
for equal work, paid parental leave, and allowing women to do all the
|
|
|
|
same jobs as men.'
