“…At the ground level, where people live their lives, the news is demonstrably dire. Thirteen of these studies found that women, people of color, foreign-born individuals, and people with disabilities have suffered negative outcomes and that the results of the economic crisis were worse for them than for the general population (e.g., Leschke, 2012;Fodor and Beáta, 2014;Addabbo et al, 2015;Anastasiou et al, 2015). On the other hand, at a meta level, in the realms of diversity business management, legislation, and policy, studies indicated that there is hope and some progress in addressing the rights and needs of people of diverse backgrounds.…”

Women are more vulnerable in the labor market (Rubery and Rafferty, 2013), partly due to a higher preponderance of women being employed in service industries (Ward, 2012;Fodor and Beáta, 2014;Anastasiou et al, 2015;), which saw initial cuts in public funding.…”

Erecting Walls Versus Tearing Them Down: Inclusion and the (False) Paradox of Diversity in Times of Economic Upheaval

Media images of walls being erected or dismantled symbolize the global dilemma at the heart of the approach toward diversity during economically challenging times. Will communities, organizations, and nations become more isolated, exclusionary, and protective of scarce resources? Or will they embrace diversity for humanistic reasons and its potential to drive economic growth? This paper first critically examines the paradox of diversity and deems it false because it omits the important role of inclusion climate. It then presents a systematic review of the research. Findings indicate that people are more likely to blame ‘the other’ for their economic hardships, and as a result are more likely to express racism, prejudice, and xenophobia, giving rise to intergroup conflicts and strife. Yet research also links diversity with innovation and its potential to uplift and energize economies, a quality that is particularly important during times of economic hardship. Finally, the paper presents a theory‐based conceptual model, highlighting the central role of inclusion, and proposes directions for future research.

This article uses panel data for 34 countries in Sub‐Saharan Africa to investigate the effects of gender inequality and governance on poverty. It applied a maximum likelihood estimation of random effect models. We found that high gender inequality in Sub‐Saharan Africa contributes to high poverty. The results also show that good governance in Sub‐Saharan Africa may have a decisive positive impact on poverty reduction. The results are robust at country‐ and region‐level data. It is also found that the net effect from the interaction of gender inequality and absence of good governance can have a potential impact on increasing poverty. Hence, to get out of poverty, improving human development and refining frameworks that improve institutional quality through voice and accountability, regulations, and government effectiveness on socioeconomic issues are necessary. The high gender inequality in the region should also be decreased.
