Gendered effects of trade restrictions on labour market outcomes in Malawi

Le résumé fourni par la source

This chapter explores the impact of tariff increases on female unemployment and the agricultural sector in Malawi. Combining a standard general equilibrium model with a top-down behavioural microsimulation, the author finds that a move towards trade restrictions would destroy over 1 million jobs in the country, affecting primarily women across the labour market but more markedly in agriculture.
