RUI: Economic Development and Women's Labor Force Participation

这是一个本科院校研究奖(RUI)，旨在研究经济发展对性别不平等和女性劳动参与的影响。这项研究将集中于四个因素对劳动力参与和分配中的性别不平等的影响，即先前社会文化对妇女角色的重视的影响，一个社会的经济发展水平的影响，一个社会的经济依赖程度对其他国家的影响，以及一个社会所采用的贸易战略类型的影响。包含92个国家的数据的纵向数据集被用于面板回归分析，以确定基本模式和检验假设。大多数关于妇女地位与经济发展关系的研究都是基于案例研究，这些研究的结果往往是相互矛盾的。相比之下，这项研究将为许多国家提供长期的系统分析数据。这可能会澄清之前关于经济发展和性别不平等研究中的许多模棱两可的地方。

This is a Research in Undergraduate Institutions award (RUI) to study the effect of economic development on gender inequality and women's labor for participation. The study will focus on the effects of four factors on gender inequality in labor force participation and distribution, namely the effect of prior sociocultural emphasis on women's roles, the effect of a society's level of economic development, the effect of the degree of society's economic dependency on other countries, and the effect of the type of trade strategy employed by a society. A longitudinal data set containing data for 92 nations is used in panel regression analyses to identify basic patterns and test hypotheses. Most research on the relationship between women's status and economic development is based on case studies, and the results of these studies are often contradictory. This study, in contrast, will provide a systematic analysis data for many countries over a long period of time. This is likely to clarify many of the ambiguities in previous research on economic development and gender inequality.
