Abstract: This study aims to examine the gender inequalities effects of globalization and its dimensions using data on Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries for the period of 1990 to 2016. The study distinguishes de jure and de facto aspects of globalization and appliessecond-generation panel data tests to diagnose the spatial dependence between our sample countries in order to adopt an appropriate methodology for its suitable handling. We find that, overall, globalization reduces gender inequality in SSA. The study also finds that both de jure and de facto aspects of globalization reduce gender inequality in SSA.
