摘要

本文首次提供了法律性别歧视的全球图景，因为它影响了妇女的经济机会，并描绘了50年来法律不平等的演变。我们利用世界银行新建立的妇女、商业和法律数据库，记录了严重和持续存在的性别不平等现象，特别是在薪酬和为人父母待遇方面。我们发现，与女性劳动力相关的更平等的法律与更平等的劳动力市场结果之间存在正相关关系，例如更高的女性劳动力参与率和更小的男女工资差距。(jl d63, j16, j31, j71, j78, k31, k38)

Gendered Laws and Women in the Workforce

This paper offers for the first time a global picture of gender discrimination by the law as it affects women's economic opportunity and charts the evolution of legal inequalities over five decades. Using the World Bank's newly constructed Women, Business and the Law database, we document large and persistent gender inequalities, especially with regard to pay and treatment of parenthood. We find positive correlations between more equal laws pertaining to women in the workforce and more equal labor market outcomes, such as higher female labor force participation and a smaller wage gap between men and women.
