Gender-Based Growth and Population in a Small-Open Growth Model

Wei-Bin Zhang

Chapter Chapter 5 in An Economic Theory of Gender and Population Change, 2024, pp 71-80 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter proposes an endogenous population economic growth model with gender time distribution between work, children fostering, and leisure. Like the previous chapters, it deals with nonlinear dynamic interdependence between birth rate, mortality rate, population, wealth accumulation, and time distribution. It is concerned with a small open neoclassical economy. Section 5.1 introduces the basic model with wealth accumulation and human capital accumulation with government subsidy on education. Section 5.2 simulates the model. Section 5.4 examines how a rise in women’s propensity to pursue leisure activities affects the system. Section 5.3 studies the impact of a rise in the propensity to have children on the motion of the variables. Section 5.5 shows how the system is affected if the woman’s human capital is enhanced. Section 5.6 concludes the chapter.
