Abstract
:
This volume introduces the gender dimension into empirical analyses of the links between trade and poverty, which can improve policy making. The chapters assesses the importance of gender in determining the poverty effects of trade shocks. Part I, relying on ex ante simulation approaches, focuses on the macroeconomic links between trade and gender, where labor market structure and its functioning play a key role. Part II concentrates on micro models of households and attempts to identify the ex post effects of trade shocks on household income levels and consumption choices. It also addresses questons about possible changes in inequality within households due to improved economic opportunities for women.
