Abstract

Developing countries like Chile generally have lower labour participation rates for women as compared to developed economies. Women’s restricted participation in the labour market is a major reason for low household incomes. Furthermore, when women do secure employment, their incomes are in general lower than for men. This is true also for men and women working in the Chilean export manufacturing sector.
