Improving access to financial services to enhance women’s economic empowerment in Ethiopia

In partnership with Enat Bank in Ethiopia, research was conducted to devise technological solutions, such as a prototype Chatbot application, to facilitate the ease of access to financial services and improve financial literacy

Macroeconomic policy development in Tanzania
Full text linkThis paper attempts to discuss macroeconomic policy development in Tanzania with the objective of informing policy responses to the coronavirus pandemic. The rationale hinges on the understanding that the macroeconomic framework of the country has implications for the country’s growth trajectory. It has been well established that macroeconomic instability was one of the key factors undermining the development of African countries, including Tanzania, between the 1970s and 1990s. Therefore, as Tanzania implements its industrialisation resolve, its macroeconomic policy should be positioned to create an enabling environment for industrial policy. To achieve the country’s 2025 vision to become a semi-industrialised middle-income country, macroeconomic policy should also maintain the conditions that facilitate the structural transformations necessary for economic development

Full text linkChild penalty in STEM : evidence from Brazilian labor market
Full text linkUsing administrative data, we study the impact of paid maternity leave on labor market consequences for women working in STEM occupations. In Brazil, since the 1988 Constitution, every woman in the formal labor market has been eligible to receive paid maternity leave - full income replacement for 120 days after the child’s arrival. We conduct an event study in a panel of STEM women to estimate the penalties associated with childbirth. Women’s employment and earnings drop between 25% and 29% twelve months after the arrival of a child. These penalties are smaller compared to the results found for the formal labor market in previous studies. Alternatively, we also find that STEM women face a higher likelihood of working in a non-STEM occupation after childbirth, in spite of being employed: 4% of women switch to non-STEM occupations after the leave
