While there is a common belief that female labour indicators in Arab countries demonstrate a problematic situation, little is understood about the varieties within countries in that region. This paper attempts to draw a segmentation of the Arab world to show how different countries differ in this regard. It looks at two specific measures: the level of female participation as a percentage of male participation (FPM), and the female earned income to male income (FIM). Statistics from 20 Arab countries generated four clusters in which those countries are classified. Female labour indicators in most countries in the Arab world show similar patterns found in other countries in their stage of development. This confirms earlier research that indicates that women's labour participation decreases as societies move away from agriculture into manufacturing, services and industry. Only four countries are identified as outliers whose labour indicators can be understood within the context of the cultural values that dominate. The implications are discussed and individual research on female labour within each Arab country is invited.

The Relationship

SummaryThe relationship between female labour force participation, and other socioeconomic factors, and the probability of having a third birth is examined, using British data collected in the 1980 Women and Employment Survey, by hazard regression modelling with time-varying covariates. The results demonstrate the strong association between demographic factors, e.g. age at first birth and birth interval and subsequent fertility behaviour. Education appears to have little effect. Surprisingly, women who have spent a higher proportion of time as housewives have a lower risk of having a third birth. This finding is in sharp disagreement with the conventional expectation that cumulative labour force participation supports lower fertility. These findings are briefly compared with similar research carried out in Sweden.

This paper introduces an estimation procedure for a random effects probit model in presence of heteroskedasticity and a likelihood ratio test for homoskedasticity. The cases where the heteroskedasticity is due to individual effects or idiosyncratic errors or both are analyzed. Monte Carlo simulations show that the test performs well in the case of high degree of heteroskedasticity. Furthermore, the power of the test increases with larger individual and time dimensions. The robustness analysis shows that applying the wrong approach may generate misleading results except for the case where both individual effects and idiosyncratic errors are modelled as heteroskedastic.

Danish politics is comparable to the politics of other small European states. However, it is also unique because of its many years of minority governments, its history of EU opt-outs, its high electoral turnout even in local elections, and its high level of trust in government and Parliament. Other remarkable features are high female labour participation in spite of a lack of proactive gender policies, and one of the world’s largest local and regional government sectors. Denmark had its earthquake election as early as 1973 with many new parties entering Parliament. However, the June 2019 elections still saw the huge majority of voters voting for old parties. Denmark is also known as a country with a high taxation level and one of the world’s biggest publicly funded service sectors, possibly because minority governments strive for majority support for their legislative proposals. Other specific characteristics are the mix of market-oriented policies and the huge welfare state. These topics—and many more—are presented, analysed, and discussed in the book. The intention has been that the chapters should reflect the state-of-the-art in research on the various topics and simultaneously provide new knowledge and suggest future lines of research.
