Women’s Work – Routes to Social and Economic Empowerment

What Drives Female Labour Force Participation? Comparable Micro-level Evidence from Eight Developing and Emerging Economies
We investigate the micro-level determinants of labour force participation of urban married women in eight low- and middle-income economies: Bolivia, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Jordan, South Africa, Tanzania, and Vietnam. In order to understand what drives changes and differences in participation rates since the early 2000s, we build a unified empirical framework that allows for comparative analyses across time and space. We find that the returns t…
Randomization for women’s economic empowerment? Lessons and limitations of randomized experiments
Worldwide, policy-makers and academics alike are searching for ways to enhance women’s economic empowerment. One important route to economic empowerment – paid employment – still shows wide gender disparities. We discuss some lessons from randomized evaluations of microfinance, business training, and other interventions aimed at increasing women’s employment and earnings. We then point at important barriers related to women’s responsibility for c…
What Explains the Stagnation of Female Labor Force Participation in Urban India
Female labor force participation rates in urban India between 1987 and 2011 are surprisingly low and have stagnated since the late 1980s. Despite rising growth, fertility decline, and rising wage and education levels, married women's labor force participation hovered around 18 percent. Analysis of five large cross-sectional micro surveys shows that a combination of supply and demand effects have contributed to this stagnation. The main supply sid…
Education and Household Inequality Change
Rising returns to education have increased wage inequality in many developing countries, but their impact on inequality between households is less clear. This study asks how education contributed to household inequality in India during the period 1993–2004, using a regression based decomposition method. We find that rising returns to education of employees did not increase household inequality, because many household heads are self-employed. Inst…
