Economic development, structural change, and women’s labor force participation: (2013, unknown): “The fixed effects using other combinations of data sources are available on request. policies to promote female education and employment, associated with the exportoriented growth strategies, are likely to have played a role (e.g., Klasen and Lamanna 2009; Seguino 2000b; Klasen 2006).”
Women's participation in employment in Asia: a comparative analysis of China, India, Japan and South Korea (2010, background): “A third factor is the weaker bargaining power of women workers in the labour market and their limited resistance to poor working conditions (Seguino 2000a ).”
The Costs of Missing the Millennium Development Goal on Gender Equity (2004, unknown): “between females and males favoring female employment and the development of female-intensive industries by domestic and foreign investors (Standing, 1999; Seguino, 2000).”
Does Gender Inequality Hinder Development and Economic Growth? Evidence and Policy Implications (2013, background): “In contrast, Seguino (2000) finds that in semi-industrialized export-oriented economies where women provide most of the labor in traded goods, larger gender-wage gaps were associated with faster GDP growth through cheaper exports during 1975–95.”
Women ’ s economic empowerment and inclusive growth : labour markets and enterprise development (2012, background): “…female education appears to be conducive to growth in early stages of export-oriented industrialization, its viability as a profit-maximising strategy starts to decline once labour markets tighten and surplus female labour starts to dry up (Seguino, 2000; Mitra-Kahn and Mitra-Kahn, forthcoming).”
Gender Equality and Economic Growth: Is there a Win‐Win? (2013, methodology): “One of these factors, Seguino (2000c) argued, was the mobility permitted to capital: in economies where firms were relatively free to relocate production to other countries, any increase in the wage rate would entail a larger reduction in employment in the export sector.”
Gender equity and globalization: Macroeconomic policy for developing countries (2006, background): “…growth with gender gaps in earnings positively related to growth rates of GDP in SIEs where women are segregated in export manufacturing industries (Seguino, 2000b).19 Under those conditions, efforts to close the wage gap without countermeasures to offset the negative effect on export demand will…”
The Output Cost of Gender Discrimination: A Model-Based Macroeconomic Estimate (2008, unknown): “11An alternative view is exploited by Seguino (2000), who tries to explain the growth rate of export by a series of variables, including the gender wage gap, and finds that a larger gap has a positive effect on exports.”
Drivers of Gendered Sectoral and Occupational Segregation in Developing Countries (2020, background): “…concentrated in the worst jobs – that is, those with the lowest pay, poor working conditions, under flexible contracts, and with no benefits – and are the first to be laid off, forming a flexible buffer labor force (Anker 1998; Standing 1999; Seguino 2000; Charles and Grusky 2004; World Bank 2011).”
Revisiting UNDP's GDI and GEM: Towards an Alternative (2002, background): “Seguino (2000) finds that high growth is accompanied by low gender equality.”
