We have seen in class that the labor force participation of women has increased considerably in the last 50 years in many countries of the world. Unfortunately, during the same time, in some countries, gender wage gap has increased. Newspapers in these countries have reported this increase in the gender wage gap as evidence that there have been an increase in the number of discriminating firms or in how discriminating they are. Using the model of discrimination learned in class,...

Female labor force participation (LFP) tends to be markedly lower in the MENA region when compared to other world regions. Some scholars have claimed that this phenomenon can be traced to the traditional culture and/or the dominant religion (i.e., Islam) in the region. Others attribute the outcome to the presence large natural resource rents. What is the theoretical argument why natural resource rents may reduce female LFP? Who has present empirical evidence in favor of this hypothesis?
