Measuring Gender Disparity in Educational Attainment Worldwide, 1950–2015: Evidence Toward Achieving Sustainable Development Goals 4 and 5
To help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals related to inclusive and equitable quality education and gender equality, it is essential to understand the extent and patterns of gender disparities in education. This study measures such disparities using the between‐gender education Gini derived from a decomposition of education Gini by gender, and examines its relationship with mean years of education. The decomposition analysis reveals that a…
Educational Expansion and Declining Expenditure Inequality in Nepal Over the Past Two Decades
Nepal has made significant progress in reducing inequality in economic well‐being. Meanwhile education has expanded substantially. This study analyzes the role of educational expansion in reducing expenditure inequality using data from the three rounds of the Nepal Living Standards Survey. It conducts a two‐stage hierarchical inequality decomposition analysis by location and education. The expansion of basic education in rural areas contributed s…
Why has inequality in the Philippines declined? A two-stage hierarchical inequality decomposition analysis by location and education
The Philippines has been successful in reducing inequality over the last two decades. This study conducts a two-stage hierarchical inequality decomposition analysis by location and education to explore the determinants of declining expenditure inequality using the Family Income and Expenditure Survey. In the period 1997-2006, falling inequality among urban households with tertiary education is the dominant determinant by explaining 74% of declini…
Pro-poorness of rural economic growth and the roles of education in Bhutan, 2007–2017
Among south Asian countries, Bhutan has the second lowest poverty incidence; but, there is a large difference in poverty incidence between urban and rural areas. While urban areas registered a very small poverty incidence, 12.0% of rural population were still below the national poverty line in 2017. Poverty is by and large a rural phenominon in Bhutan. Against this background, this study examines whether Bhutan’s rural economic growth was pro-poo…
Economic Tertiarization and Regional Income Inequality in a Decentralized Indonesia: A Bi-dimensional Inequality Decomposition Analysis
Spatial Inequalities in Indonesia, 1996-2010: A Hierarchical Decomposition Analysis
Educational Expansion and the Role of Education in Expenditure Inequality in Indonesia Since the 1997 Financial Crisis
Urbanization, educational expansion, and expenditure inequality in Indonesia in 1996, 1999, and 2002
This paper considers urban–rural location and education as the main factors of expenditure inequality, and attempts to examine inequality changes associated with urbanization and educational expansion in Indonesia. The urban sector's higher educational group is found to have contributed significantly to overall inequality. Its within-group inequality increased significantly. This, together with educational expansion, led to a conspicuous rise in …
Regional Income Inequality in Indonesia and the Initial Impact of the Economic Crisis
This paper estimates regional income inequality from 1993 to 1998, using a Theil index based upon district-level GDP and population data. Between 1993 and 1997, when Indonesia's annual average growth rate exceeded 7%, regional income inequality rose significantly. A two-stage nested inequality decomposition analysis indicates this was due mainly to an increase in within-province inequality, especially in Riau, Jakarta and West and East Java. In 1…
Spatial Patterns of Expenditure Inequalities in Indonesia: 1987, 1990 And 1993
This article investigates the contribution of inter-regional disparity to total national inequality in household expenditure, by decomposing national inequality into within- and between-province components. This is done by applying the Theil inequality decomposition technique to household expenditure data from the National Socio-Economic Survey. Whereas inter-provincial disparity accounted for 12–14% of total inequality among urban households and…
Interregional Inequalities in Indonesia: A Sectoral Decomposition Analysis for 1975–92
In this paper we examine interregional income inequalities in Indonesia from 1975 to 1992, Williamson's weighted coefficient of variation is used to measure interregional income inequality. We also perform a sectoral decomposition analysis to investigate the extent to which industrial sectors contribute to the overall weighted coefficient of variation. One major finding is that, although interregional income inequality remained fairly stable in n…
Spatial Development Processes with Renewal in a Growing City
Optimal spatial development processes with renewal in a growing city are studied by solving a long-term planning problem of urban land use in a monocentric city. Spatial development processes are classified according to the relative values of renewal cost and the relative length of the growth period of the city. Renewal processes are generally observed in the course of the spatial development processes unless renewal cost is extremely high. Since…
