“…Joel W. Simmons [14] By demonstrating his argument in other oil-rich, non-Muslim countries, Ross exposed a significant confounding variable. While some critics have argued that cultural differences may overpower this gender-based resource curse, Joel Simmons demonstrates that "oil wealth reduces the demand for women working by hurting the export-oriented industries that employ women labor intensively thereby undermining the positive effect of gender egalitarianism on FLFP".…”

One of the problems faced by SMEs is the lack of use of information technology. They are not able to build their database, which makes it impossible for them to expand their business, protect their company from risk. A survey was conducted to increase the company's productivity and improve its financial condition using statistics from the last 27 years, selecting companies that are making a valuable contribution to the business and operating in the mining and transportation sectors. This will allow the company to expand its operations by using information technology to increase productivity and anticipate and address operational issues. This study investigates the factors that affect women's employment in developing Asian countries and the effect of employment on economic growth. As a result, there is a lack of research on real GDP per capita and women's employment growth have been studied and significant factors for the increase have been detected including the Asian 20 countries (Bangladesh,

“…This paper is also a contribution to the literature on the natural resource curse. Earlier literature found that women's labor force participation and political representation in Parliament are lower in oil-producing countries [Ross (2008), Liou and Musgrave (2016), Simmons (2019)]. However, lower labor force participation could be due to a simple income effect where the natural resource windfall is associated with an increase in fertility [Black et al (2013)], leading to a decrease in labor force participation while still improving women's overall welfare.…”

Some studies suggest that resource-rich countries tend to allocate talent and investment toward the resource sector and away from manufacturing or agriculture reducing the competitiveness of these other sectors. Because mining overwhelmingly employs men, when other sectors shrink so do employment opportunities for women (Ross, 2008). This could significantly affect core social structures. Using plausibly exogenous variation in natural resource wealth due to giant oil discoveries and an event study design, this paper finds that giant oil discoveries are associated with relatively worse female outcomes as measured by higher male/female population ratios, higher teen birth rates, and lower educational attendance of tertiary education among women relative to men. However, the impact on health outcomes tapers off within 8 years. Additionally, during periods of increasing oil prices, there is no significant evidence of such effects possibly due to an income effect.
