Globalisation and the Gender Earnings Gap: Evidence from Sri Lanka and Cambodia
利用柬埔寨和斯里兰卡的家庭与劳动力调查数据，发现多纤维协定期间存在高工资溢价且性别工资差距缩小，但协定结束后溢价减小且差距扩大，表明服装出口仍惠及女性但她们易受全球价格波动影响。
Using household and labour force surveys from Cambodia and Sri Lanka, we find large positive wage premiums and a closing of the male-female wage gap during the Multi-Fibre Arrangement (MFA) period, but smaller premiums and a widening wage gap after the end of the MFA. Our results suggest that apparel exports continued to benefit women in developing countries post-MFA but women – both in and out of the apparel industry – are susceptible to changes in global apparel prices.
