Financial Development and Female Labor Income Share: Evidence from Global Data
Öz: While there has been sizable literature on the effect of financial development on growth,
inequality, and poverty, there are fewer studies on its impact on female labor force
participation or women’s wellbeing. Using a novel dataset, this paper investigates the
association between the dimensions of financial development and female labor income
share for 156 countries for the period of 1991-2019 to contribute to the literature
on the role of financial development in improving women’s wellbeing. The findings
show that financial development is positively associated with women’s income in highincome
countries but not in low-income countries. The main implication of the study
is that financial development in poor countries is not sufficiently inclusive enough to
create economic opportunities for women.
