Abstract

Recent decades have witnessed notable advancements in gender equality. However, improvement in labor market outcomes remains limited especially when for women. On the other hand, regulations related to the labor market have shifted toward greater flexibility. This study investigates the relationship between labor market flexibility and gender equality, aiming to uncover the impact of flexible employment strategies on social inequality. Utilizing cross�country regression models, we analyze the correlation between labor market flexibility indicators and wage equality for a similar work index across 99 developing countries in 2021. The findings indicate that three of the examined indicators exhibit a robust positive correlation with the dependent variable. This suggests that increased flexibility in these areas would potentially reduce gender disparities. Focusing on a wide sample of developing countries, the research implications provide valuable insights for policymakers seeking to address the gender gap in the labor market and promote equal opportunities.
