North‐South trade and female labour in manufacturing: An asymmetry
研究南北贸易对制造业女性劳动密集度的影响，发现出口增长提高了南方对女性劳动力的相对需求，但北方并未出现相应的相对需求下降，甚至蓝领工人中也是如此。
A simple method of measuring the impact of North‐South trade on the female intensity of manufacturing is applied to data for developed and developing countries. The results confirm that growth of exports has increased the relative demand for female labour in the South. However, there does not appear to have been a general counterpart reduction in the relative demand for female labour in Northern manufacturing, even among blue‐collar workers. There are several possible reasons for the apparent conflict between these findings and other evidence that in Northern manufacturing females have been disproportionately displaced by trade with the South.
