虽然许多研究审查了撒哈拉以南非洲劳动力市场结果方面的性别差距，但大多数研究都是在特定国家内进行的，因此很难全面了解世界这一地区妇女的状况。本章对关于撒哈拉以南非洲就业和工资方面性别差距的现有文献进行了批判性审查。它审查了在经济和文化相当多样化的情况下，妇女在劳动力市场上相对于男子的地位的变化。审查证明，各国差距的模式和相关因素有些相似，大致指向有助于实现可持续发展目标5和8的政策，以缩小差距。尽管如此，要对撒哈拉以南非洲的性别差距问题进行更知情的诊断，就需要超越现有数据集的数据集，以及更深入地挖掘差距的因果机制的分析方法。
Although many studies have examined gender gaps in labour market outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa, most have been conducted within specific countries, making it difficult to form a global picture of women’s position in this part of the world. This chapter provides a critical review of the extant literature on gender gaps in employment and wages in sub-Saharan Africa. It examines, in the midst of considerable economic and cultural diversity, the regularities in women’s position in the labour market position relative to those of men. The review attests that the pattern and correlates of the gaps are somewhat similar across countries, broadly pointing towards policies that contribute to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals 5 and 8 in order to arrest the gaps. Nonetheless, a more informed diagnosis of the gender gap problem in sub-Saharan Africa requires datasets that go beyond what is currently available, and analytical methods that dig deeper into the gaps’ causal mechanisms.
