The impact of inflation-reduction policies on female and male employment rates

Chapter 4 in Central Banking, Monetary Policy and Gender, 2024, pp 76-102 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The chapter examines the dynamic effects of inflation-reduction policies on female and male employment rates in 23 OECD European countries over the period 1998-2018 using quarterly panel data. The findings suggest that an increase in short-term interest rates, as a proxy for the monetary policy rate, leads to a decline in both female and male employment rates but the difference in effects across genders is not statistically significant. The author does, however, find evidence of disproportionate effects on female employment rates in specifications controlling for female employment shares by broad areas of activity.
