“…Furthermore, starting with the pioneer study of Mincer (1962), followed by the study of Cain (1966), investigating the link between FLFP and economic well-being in literature, some studies aim to investigate the validity of the U-shaped female labour force and economic well-being relationship hypothesis. The hypothesis studies confirming the significant impact of the improved economic well-being on FLFP asserts a U-shaped relationship indicating that as economic well-being improves, FLFP decreases at the first stages of development of the country until a threshold level is reached and a further improvement in the development of the economy after the threshold level encourages a higher level of FLFP (Tansel, 2002; Goldin, 1995; Luci, 2009; Tam, 2011; Tsani et al , 2013; Gaddis and Klasen, 2014; Khaliq et al , 2017; Kumari, 2018; Altuzarra et al , 2019; González and Virdis, 2022; Basargekar and Singh, 2022). At the first stages of the development level of the economy, higher levels of female tend to be in the labour force to be able to benefit from having more than one income to support household consumptions for necessities.…”

“…Even the outcomes of the studies in related literature show contradicting outcomes about the direction; the common result is the confirmation of the impact of economic well-being on FLFP (Altuzarra et al, 2019;Goldin, 1995;Tansel, 2002;Luci, 2009;Gonz alez and Virdis, 2022;Basargekar and Singh, 2022). Economic well-being is referred to as economic development in some studies and is proxied through economic growth or per capita GDP as a measurement.…”

“…The link between FLFP and economic well-being started to receive considerable attention in related literature since the concerns related to gender equality turned out to be one of the crucial issues. Numerous studies aim to investigate the interrelationship between economic well-being and FLFP (Goldin, 1995; Tansel, 2002; Luci, 2009; Tam, 2011; Tsani et al , 2013; Gaddis and Klasen, 2014; Khaliq et al , 2017; Kumari, 2018; Altuzarra et al , 2019; González and Virdis, 2022; Basargekar and Singh, 2022; Bloom et al , 2009; Verick, 2014; Dursun and Damadoglu, 2020; Mujahid and Zafar, 2012; Budun, 2021). Most of the empirical studies in related literature investigate the link between FLFP and economic well-being through the employment of either a particular country deploying time-series data or for a group of countries through the application of panel data.…”

Purpose Female labour force participation (FLFP) is undeniably critical for both developing and developed countries. This study aims to investigate the impact of economic risk on FLFP, controlling economic well-being, fertility rate and education, considering the asymmetric relationship among the indicators in Turkey. Design/methodology/approach Time series data covering years from 1988Q1 to 2019Q4 is deployed for the empirical analysis to identify the long-run asymmetric link. Empirical analysis of the study starts with the employment of the Augmented Dickey-Fuller unit root test with the breakpoint to test for the order of integration of time series and to capture the breakpoints. The Brock-Dechert-Scheibkman test is applied to determine if or not the econometric model is correctly identified. Nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) bounds test is used to examine the existence of an asymmetric link between FLFP and economic well-being. The empirical analysis follows the investigation of the determinants of FLFP through the employment of the NARDL model. Findings The existence of long-run link among the time series is confirmed through the results obtained from the NARDL bounds test. Furthermore, long-run NARDL estimations confirm that (i) positive shocks in economic well-being increases FLFP; (ii) positive shock in education negatively impacts FLFP; (iii) FLFP is negatively affected by economic risk; and (iv) finally, increased fertility rate increases FLFP in Turkey. Originality/value This paper is checked from turnitin for the plagiarism which is estimated to be less than 20%. It is an original paper that fills the gap in literature and provides meaningful insight both for the policymakers and academics.

“…It would be relevant to deepen future analysis by using new development indicators. First, it is relevant to examine the impact of international sanctions on gender gaps, which are already wide in the region (González & Virdis, 2021). In fact, these gaps could widen if women are more affected by the loss of income and jobs.…”

International sanctions and development: Evidence from Latin America and the Caribbean (1950–2019)

This article examines the impact of international sanctions on the economic development of sanctioned countries in the Latin American and Caribbean regions over seven decades (1950–2019). The estimates arise from a two‐way fixed effects model that combines data from the Global Sanctions Database and the World Development Indicators Database to examine outcomes in terms of economic growth, income inequality, and the incidence and gap of poverty. The findings confirm a significant worsening of development in sanctioned countries. This includes lower growth (−0.6 percentage points) and higher inequality (+1.5 Gini coefficient points). Reduced investment as well as reduced access to credit in the private sector are the mechanisms through which the above effects take place. The results are robust to multiple specifications and have important implications for international sanctions policies. If the sanctioning country seeks to minimise the consequences for the poorest in the sanctioned country, military sanctions appear to be the most appropriate, while if the objective is to maximise these consequences, sanctions on mobility are optimal.

“…Suzuki and Avellaneda (2018) suggest that decision-making in political positions is impacted by different life experiences and preferences of men and women (e.g., women are less willing to take financial risks). González and Virdis (2022) affirm that female labor force is affected by noneconomic factors such as social, cultural and legal norms.…”

Based on the critical mass theory, this article analyzes the effect of political empowerment of women in legislatures and mayoralties of the federal states of Mexico over the Sub-national Human Development Index [SHDI]. Using a balanced panel data composed by 352 observations during the 2010-2020 period, the results show that the critical mass of 30% of women in State legislatures increases health and education sub-indexes. Similarly, the critical mass of 20% of women as majors has a favorable impact on the SHDI and their standard of living and education components. These results highlight that political empowerment of women enhance economic and social development in the context of an emerging country and make a call to legislators in gender issues.
