Exploring the Impact of Conflict Exposure during Formative Years on Labour Market Outcomes in Tajikistan
研究了1992-1998年塔吉克斯坦武装冲突对劳动力市场结果的性别差异影响,发现冲突期间处于学龄或刚进入劳动力市场的年轻女性在受影响更严重的地区就业概率高出至少10个百分点。
This study explores the effect of the 1992-1998 armed conflict in Tajikistan on the labour market outcomes by gender. The focus is on cohorts that were of school age during the conflict or recently entered the labour force. The regression analysis controls for the cohort and district-level exposure to conflict. Younger women but not men who also lived in regions more affected by conflict were at least 10 percentage points more likely to be employed than similarly aged women from lesser affected districts. These results suggest a change in female employment patterns potentially induced by war.
