Abstract
Purpose
Women’s direct or subtle exclusion from the labour market is still evident, necessitating more rigorous inquiries into the subject matter. The study aims to assess the moderating factors that can boost the inclusion of women participation in the labour market by complementing and actualising the doctrine of the feminist U-shaped hypothesis.
Design/methodology/approach
This study is situated within the feminist U-shaped hypothesis and employs the generalised method of moments (GMM) on 38 countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
Findings
This study validates the U-shaped labour hypothesis and expands on the moderating effects of the U-shaped curve in 38 SSA countries.
Originality/value
The study contributes to the influences of human capital development and technological access that can significantly improve the workings of the feminist U- hypothesis in SSA countries.
目的 妇女被直接或微妙地排斥在劳动力市场之外的现象仍然十分明显,因此有必要对这一主题进行更严格的调查。本研究旨在通过补充和实现女权主义 U 型假说的理论,评估能够促进妇女参与劳动力市场的调节因素。 本研究以女权主义 U 型假说为基础,采用广义矩法(GMM)对撒哈拉以南非洲(SSA)的 38 个国家进行研究。研究结果本研究验证了 U 型劳动力假说,并扩展了 U 型曲线在撒哈拉以南非洲 38 个国家的调节作用。
