Seguino (2000) shows that gender wage discrimination in export-oriented semi-industrialized countries might be fostering investment and growth in general. While the original analysis does not have internationally comparable wage discrimination data, we replicate the analysis using data from a meta-study on gender wage discrimination and do not find any evidence that more discrimination might further economic growth-on the contrary: if anything the impact of gender inequality is negative for growth. Standing up for more gender equality-also in terms of wages-is good for equity considerations and at least not negative for growth.
塞吉诺(2000年)指出,在出口导向型半工业化国家,性别工资歧视总体上可能会促进投资和增长。虽然最初的分析没有国际可比的工资歧视数据,但我们使用一项关于性别工资歧视的元研究数据来重复该分析,并未发现任何证据表明更多的歧视可能会进一步推动经济增长——相反:如果有什么影响的话,性别不平等对增长的影响是负面的。倡导更多的性别平等——在工资方面也是如此——有利于公平考量,而且至少对增长没有负面影响。
