?:abstract
  • We present a growth model where savings, fertility, labour forceparticipation and gender wage discrimination are endogenously deter-mined. Households consist of husband and wife, who disagree on howto allocate resources to their individual consumption. Household decisions are made by bargaining and the bargaining power of each spousedepends on the market income he/she brings home. This providesthe basis for the reluctance of men to grant women equal access tolabour markets despite the fact that this hurts them in terms of re-duced family income. Economic development makes discriminationcostlier, initiating a positive cycle of high female participation, lowfertility and high growth. Our empirical study is in two parts. Firstly,we use cross-country micro data to test the hypothesis that develop-ment is negatively related to male ‘preference for discrimination’. Weshow that men’s views converge to those of women over the develop-ment process and that, for low levels of income, a large majority ofmen have discriminatory views. Our conclusion is that a turning point occurs at an annual per capita GDP of around $15000. Secondly, weexploit the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 to find outwhat cause individuals to change their discriminatory preferences overtime. (xsd:string)
