综述了贸易自由化与收入性别不平等之间关系的理论与证据,发现贸易扩张总体上有利于发展中国家女性就业,但可能扩大性别工资差距。

Abstract

Abstract We provide a comprehensive up-to-date review of the large body of theory and evidence on the linkages between trade liberalisation and gender inequality in income, as well as two of the latter's key underlying determinants: wages and employment. On balance, the evidence for developing countries points to an overall beneficial impact of trade expansion on female employment, both relative to male employment and in absolute terms, although largely concentrated in unskilled manufacturing. By contrast, the bulk of the evidence suggests a widening gender wage gap as a result of freer trade.
