abstract: 'Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to focus on the investigation of
|
|
|
|
gender inequalities in the labour market at the regional level in Greece
|
|
|
|
throughout the years preceding and following the economic crisis.
|
|
|
|
Design/methodology/approach - Utilising microdata from the European
|
|
|
|
Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU- SILC)database from
|
|
|
|
2005 up to the most recent available, the authors construct the Total
|
|
|
|
Earnings Gap Index, a composite index at the individual level which
|
|
|
|
incorporates gender differentials in aspects related to employment, work
|
|
|
|
intensity and earnings. This approach is further complemented by the
|
|
|
|
results of the econometric analysis (a probit model for the probability
|
|
|
|
of being in employment and a Heckman selection model for the
|
|
|
|
determinants of hourly pay and hours worked), which portray the impact
|
|
|
|
of gender on a set of labour-related characteristics.
|
|
|
|
Findings - The findings of the analysis indicate a widespread reduction
|
|
|
|
of the gender gap; however, this appears to be mainly the result of a
|
|
|
|
sharper fall in employment among men, hence pointing towards a ``race to
|
|
|
|
the bottom{''''} process which presents few - if any - signs of an
|
|
|
|
increase of women''s economic independence. The emerging picture points
|
|
|
|
towards a trend of regional convergence in gender gaps, while also
|
|
|
|
highlighting that similar gender equality outcomes are, in certain
|
|
|
|
cases, shaped by radically different dynamics.
|
|
|
|
Originality/value - This paper uses an innovative composite index which
|
|
|
|
provides a multi-dimensional depiction of gender inequality in the Greek
|
|
|
|
labour market. This index has been introduced by Eurostat and has been
|
|
|
|
applied at the country level, with this paper being the first - to the
|
|
|
|
authors'' knowledge-to apply it at the regional level. Additionally, by
|
|
|
|
examining years before and throughout the crisis, the present analysis
|
|
|
|
adopts a dynamic perspective, offering valuable insight into the seismic
|
|
|
|
shifts that Greece''s labour market structure has undergone during this
|
|
|
|
period.'
