本研究探讨了全球化对性别不平等的影响。具体而言，我们认为，在资本市场一体化方面，全球化通过改变资本密集型部门的劳动力需求，改变了工资率的性别差距。因此，全球化通过改变男女的谈判地位，对资本输入国和资本输出国的劳动力供应和生育决定产生了相反的影响。此外，通过考虑资本输入国和资本输出国的产业结构特性，我们的结果表明，全球化导致了世界各地生育率的下降。
This study explores the effects of globalization on gender inequality. Specifically, we depict that, in terms of capital market integration, globalization alters the gender gap in wage rates through changes in labor demand for capital-intensive sectors. Consequently, globalization leads to opposite effects on the couple's labor supply and fertility decisions in capital-importing and capital-exporting countries, via changes in the bargaining positions of men and women. Moreover, by considering the properties of the industrial structures of capital-importing and capital-exporting countries, our result shows that globalization induces empirically observed declines in fertility rates throughout the world.
