Globalization and Gender Equality in Developing Countries

Type of Publication: Working Paper/Technical Report
URI (citable link): http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bsz:352-0-271172
Author: Potrafke, Niklas; Ursprung, Heinrich W.
Year of publication: 2011
Series: Working Paper Series / Department of Economics ; 2011-33
Summary:
This study empirically assesses the influence of globalization on the institutional root causes of gender equality as measured by the new OECD Social Institutions and Gender Index (SIGI). We capture the multifaceted concept of globalization with the KOF index and its three sub-indices which measure the economic, social and political dimensions of globalization. Observing the progress of globalization for a sample of almost one hundred countries at ten year intervals starting in 1970, we find that economic and social globalization exerted a decidedly positive influence on the social institutions which underlie gender equality.
