“…For example, an analysis of the data revealed that in 2021 there were seventeen times more articles produced by scholars (1071 vs. 62) on income inequality than there were on gender. Nevertheless, according to extant research (Amate-Fortes et al, [5,6,24] income inequality continues as a significant factor negatively impacting gender equity.…”

“…Bibliometric analysis is a form of scientific communication that allows researchers to track the progression in the field of science, identify trends in research topics across disciplines, and learn how scientists develop knowledge and disseminate findings. Bibliometric studies can also be used for knowledge evolution (Amate-Fortes et al, [24] Donthu et al, [20] and to obtain an overview of the state of research in various scientific disciplines that have increased significantly since the evolution of information technologies and the emergence of the Internet, the development of various specialized tools and software, the availability of data/information online, have increasingly facilitated the systematization of information and has boosted the development and publication of these studies. [25] Some of the questions that bibliometric studies can answer relate to issues such as mapping vast amounts of available research that describe developmental trends and status in a comprehensive, systematic, and replicable manner.…”

The study of income inequality provides a relevant context for understanding the diversity of findings related to policies, taxes, and gender. This bibliometric study analyzed income inequality concerning current policy structures, taxes, and gender found in the literature. The global publications addressing income inequality published between (1961 -2021) increased in the 1990's. The production of scientific research increased steadily over time and by 2021, the number of articles grew exponentially by over 1000%. Data were collected using bibliometric tools, whereby the most productive countries, institutions, and journals were identified and mapped to the tendencies of productivity and concentration indexes. Using keywords and reference searching approaches, the resulting algorithm retrieved 16,376 scholarly articles from Scopus and World Inequality Databases. Data were mapped and the scientific analysis, yielded valuable insights into the impact of economic policies, taxes, and gender on income inequality. Our results are consistent with existing research, showing that developed countries had the highest productivity in terms of publications related to income disparity. Additionally, the data revealed that the most cited researchers were domiciled in the United States from predominantly Ivy League, or Carnegie classified Tier 1 institutions. Finally, this research is significant in the sense that it broadens the knowledge in the topic of income inequality by emphasizing the relevance of the development, authorship and domicile of the existing studies in the topic. The relevance lies in that these studies are often used as the basis for the design and implementation of government procedures, fiscal strategies, and policies that aim to reduce the income gender gap. The resulting outcome of this bibliometric paper should be considered by policy makers, institutions of higher education, universities, colleges, and libraries.

“…Gaye et al (2010) emphasize that the income component is the most important driver of different human development measures and that it also affects gender inequality. Amate-Fortes et al (2021) emphasize that both income and its distribution have an impact on gender inequality. Stromquist (2015) presents a holistic approach of women’s empowerment that identifies education (knowledge) as the main determinant that can reduce gender inequality.…”

This study evaluates the nonlinear relationship between gender inequality and tourism receipts using a standard quantile regression approach and advances the results with an asymmetric application. Gender inequality is a pervasive and complex phenomenon rooted in the socio-economic culture of many countries. The reasons for inequality have country-specific situations, and to gain a broader understanding, countries were grouped by their income levels to explore the relationships for different groups. The study concludes that not all countries stimulate overall gender inequality through tourism. The study results show that in all but the 10th quantile, tourism had a negative and significant relationship with gender inequality providing support for the notion that tourism helps narrow the gender gap. The exceptions were found only at the 10th quantile indicates that low-income countries with low levels of tourism development could not derive the benefits of tourism’s potential in reducing gender inequality.

“…There are also qualitative gender differences in engagement, with boys and girls giving different reasons for engaging in school (Fredricks et at., 2018). At the school to work transition, men’s and women’s movement into the labor market is marked by gender inequality especially in income (Amate-Fortes et al, 2021). Therefore, gender is an important factor to consider in longitudinal analyses of school engagement and adult occupational outcomes.…”

School engagement in adolescence is often associated with better academic performance at school, but what are the longitudinal associations between school engagement and adult educational and employment status? The current study explored these longitudinal associations using data spanning 40-years of life, from the 1970 British Cohort Study. School engagement at age 16-years was used to predict highest educational level at age 34-years, and socioeconomic status and income at ages 34- and 46-years, controlling for childhood socioeconomic status, cognitive ability, gender, and ethnic minority status, collected at ages 5- or 10-years. The 13,135 individuals in the sample were born in 1970, were mainly White (96%), and were identified at age 5-years as being 48% female. Longitudinal structural equation models revealed that adolescent school engagement had a persistent, positive impact on adult educational and employment outcomes after individual differences were controlled for. The results are interpreted using the perspective that school engagement can channel resources which are important for later educational and occupational success.
