“…Sharma (1989) termed such a downward-sloping labour supply among the poor as ‘deprivation-induced employment’. Licona (2000), Dessing (2002), El-Hamidi (2003) and Sharif (1991) also observe the existence of a negative relationship between labour supply and wage rate at very low wage levels in developing countries. This is contrary to the neo-classical labour supply theory which predicts a positive relationship between labour supply and economic opportunities.…”

“…Several studies have looked at the effects of structural adjustment on gender wage gaps in the Egyptian labor market: Nassar (1998); Assaad and Arntz (2005); El-Hamidi (2001 and2008); Said (1999 and2003) and El-Hamidi (2003 and2006). Some of these studies documented that paid female employment in the private sector lags drastically behind the growth of the female labor force and well behind the growth of male employment in that sector as well, which suggests that there are considerable barriers to women employment in the private sector.…”
