Aim:
Provide an overview of global gender inequality, particularly emphasizing developing countries and the importance of labor force participation.
Data:
Look for measures like female education levels, skills training, and labor force participation rates. Include countries across different regions for broader analysis.
Search for:
Labor force participation rate, (percentage of women in the labor market).
Education level (percentage of women completing secondary or tertiary education).
Skill development (maybe vocational training participation rates).
comparison:
See if similar trends exist in different countries, or if local cultural and policy factors play a significant role.
instruction
Collect cross-country data on measures of gender inequalities and gaps in social and economic outcomes (labour force participation, fertility, marriage, divorce, single households, etc. – again, pick one!) with a special focus on countries outside of the US and Europe. Analyse the trends or associations you find using the economic methods we learned in class.
