"An Impact of Globalization on Gender Wage Inequality: A case Study of Selected Developing Countries Saeed Rasekhi∗ Haniyeh Hosseinmardi∗∗ Abstract Globalization may have different impacts on the gender wage gap depending on the specialization and trade pattern as well as the socio- economic situation.
Oostendorp (2004) has studied some selected countries during timeperiod 1983-1999 and concluded that the occupational gender gap decreases with economic development, trade and foreign investment.
Meyer (2007) has examined the effects of economic globalization on gender wage inequality by employing a panel regression of 55 countries during time period 1975–1998.
3. Methodology The theoretical underpinning of the impact of globalization on the gender wage gap is based on two mainstream theories, Heckscher-Ohlin- Samuelson (HOS) theory and Becker’s theory of discrimination.
This effect also points to a narrowing of the gender wage gap in developing countries opening to trade since women are often employed in lower-wage, lower- skilled jobs than men.
In an increasingly competitive market, the wage gap between men and women with equal skills will narrow and may under certain conditions eventually disappear, as discriminators are forced by market pressure to change their discriminatory practices or are bought out by non-discrimination firms (Becker, 1957).
Women’s share of legislators (PARL), which is the indicator of the presence of women in decision-making, is consistently negatively associated with the gender wage gap in both of the regressions and they are significant.
Conclusions This paper has examined a hypothesis which is "globalization has a positive effect on gender wage gap"."
