Abstract

How do culture and development interact to determine women's empowerment? I develop a simple model of women's labor supply in which economic development simultaneously reduces the stigma against women working and relaxes the consumption constraint that often forces poor women to work. The model predicts that women's labor supply will follow a U-shaped relationship, falling and then rising as development proceeds. In addition, in countries with more patriarchal values, women's labor supply will be lower, fall over a greater income range, and then rise more slowly on the upward sloping portion of the curve. I investigate and confirm these predictions in a broad sample of countries employing six different measures of historical patriarchy as well as a composite measure of patriarchal history. These findings indicate that as economic development proceeds, women's labor supply will diverge across countries as differences in the intensity of patriarchal values play an ever larger role in the allocation of women's labor.

父权制、发展与妇女赋权的分歧
文化与发展是如何相互作用来决定妇女赋权的?我建立了一个简单的妇女劳动力供给模型,在这个模型中,经济发展同时减少了对妇女工作的偏见,并放松了往往迫使贫困妇女工作的消费限制。根据该模型的预测,妇女的劳动力供给将呈 U 型关系,随着经济的发展先降后升。此外,在父权价值观较为浓厚的国家,妇女的劳动力供给将较低,在较大的收入范围内下降,然后在曲线的上坡部分缓慢上升。我采用六种不同的历史父权制衡量方法以及一种父权制历史的综合衡量方法,在广泛的国家样本中调查并证实了这些预测。这些研究结果表明,随着经济的发展,重男轻女价值观在妇女劳动力分配中的作用越来越大,各国妇女的劳动力供给将出现分化。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
