    Impact of Gender Inequality on the Republic of Korea's Long-term Economic Growth: An Application of the Theoretical Model of Gender Inequality and Economic Growth

    Kim, Jinyoung; Lee, Jong-Wha; Shin, Kwanho | January 2006
    Abstract
    This paper presents a theoretical model that can analyze the impact of gender inequality on long-term economic growth. The model is calibrated to fit to Korean data. We find that gender equality policies that lower discrimination in the labor market or that increase the time spent by a father on child-rearing can contribute positively to female labor market participation and per capita income growth. The simulation results show that when the disparities between men and women at home and in the labor market are completely removed, the female labor force participation rate increases from 54.4% to 67.5%, and the growth rate in per capita income rises from 3.6% to 4.1% on average over a generation.

      This paper introduces a model of gender inequality and economic growth that focuses on the determination of women’s time allocation among market production, home production, child rearing, and child education. The theoretical model is based on Agénor (2012), but differs in several important dimensions. The model is calibrated using microlevel data of Asian economies, and numerous policy experiments ...

      Inclusive Growth and Gender Inequality in Asia’s Labor Markets 

      Rodgers, Yana van der Meulen; Zveglich, Joseph Jr. E. (Asian Development Bank, 2012-12-01)
      This study examines gender inequality in labor markets in Asia and the Pacific, with a focus on the structural drivers of women’s labor force participation. Demographic survey data indicate that in Asia’s lower-income countries, economic necessity is an important push factor behind women’s employment. Also, being married and having young children both reduce the likelihood that a woman is employed. ...
