| description |
This paper studies the gender-based
differences in access to and return from economic activities
in the rural non-farm economy (RNFE) using panel datasets
from Uganda and Ethiopia. The results show that
female-headed households have limited access to paid
employment and self-employment in the sector, particularly
in some industries. These households also earn lower returns
from RNFE than male-headed households, and the gross return
gap is much higher in Uganda than in Ethiopia. Furthermore,
endowment differences do not explain the return gap in
Ethiopia, and only partially explain the gap in Uganda. |
