Implication

Analysis reveals negative trade impacts on female employment in agriculture and services in LDCs, suggesting broader economic influences.

Key Points

  • Panel data analysis from 2000-2022 across 28 LDCs shows the significance of trade openness on gendered employment.
  • Import share has a positive association with female employment in services, indicating sectoral preferences for women.
  • Income levels and demographic factors appear more influential than trade measures in determining female employment intensity.
