Women’s Informal Employment And Fertility Rate: A Concern On Population Growth

Population growth is a vital component of sustainable development as it ensures the continuity of human capital formation process. There is limited prior research that specifically examines the relationship between women participation in informal activities and the concept of sustainable development. Using the Ordinary Least Square regression method, this paper attempts to study the impact of women participation in informal employment on population growth. Taking the most present statistical update for 47 countries from different regions provided by the International Labour Organisation (ILO), this study found that women involvement in the informal economy does affect fertility rate positively. This provides some support that the nature of women’s employment or the kinds of jobs and working conditions provide alternative returns and satisfactions to having children. The result of this study may assist in the formation of the labour policy process to enjoy a sustainable economic growth

Comparative advantage and competitiveness of Covid-19-related medical products exporters

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic generated an upsurge in demand for medical products. Trade policy changes, including export restrictions and import reforms, have led to a shortage of medical products. The World Health Organization has recommended countries to encourage local production and identify various import sources for medical products to ensure sustainable healthcare capacity to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and any similar events in the future. This study aims to examine the comparative advantages and competitiveness in producing medical products among top exporters. The contribution of this study is the ability to identify various import sources specific to developing countries. From the exporter’s perspective, this study allows countries to recognize their existing competitive strengths in the medical products trade, allowing them to strategize and compete in the international markets of medical products. Using Balassa’s revealed comparative advantage index, this study analyzes 25 primary medical product exporters, identifying several countries with a comparative advantage in producing medical products. Medicines are primarily dominated by high-income countries, including Switzerland and Germany, whereas middle-income countries, such as China and Malaysia, are more specialized in medical supplies, medical equipment, and personal protective products. This finding provides a basis for policy formulation that can facilitate the process of building a sustainable healthcare capacity

High-technology trade: does it enhance national competitiveness?

This study aims to explore the impact of technological development through international trade activities on national competitiveness. As such, the objective of this paper is to empirically examine the impact of engaging in high-tech trade, both exports and imports, on national competitiveness. The research was carried out on a sample of 20 major high-tech exporting countries, over the period 2007 to 2016. An econometric analysis of panel data was employed. Considering the Global Competitiveness Index as the dependent variable, the results indicate that both high-tech exports and imports positively affect national competitiveness. Specifically, the exports of high-tech force technological development and improve national competitiveness. The imports of high-tech act as a mechanism for technology transfer and positively influence national= competitiveness. The findings imply that it will be beneficial for a country to identify and develop potential high-tech industries in order to achieve a higher level of national competitiveness

The impact of high-technology trade on employment

This paper aims to empirically examine the impact of high-technology trade on employment. A dynamic labour demand equation is employed to investigate the impact of high-tech trade on employment in 20 high-tech exporting countries. Using data from 2007 to 2016, this study highlights some evidence on the negative relationship between high-tech trade and employment. This paper argues the development towards high-tech trade should be accompanied by appropriate policy measures to lessen the employment effect and to ensure the benefit of growth is well-distributed among all segments of the labour market

Impact of innovation and high-tech trade on national competitiveness and employment structure

According to the present trend, developing countries are progressively becoming the leading high-tech exporters. Growing high-tech exports from emerging countries has prompted concerns about their participation in the lowest fragment of the global value chain. Participating in the lowest segment may delay the catch-up process for developing countries and prolonging the income convergence between economies. As argued by the literature, innovation activities are not extensive at this stage. Hence, it may not be a requirement for high-tech export. Furthermore, statistics demonstrate a decrease in high-tech exports from developed countries, despite significant innovative investment. Hence, this leads to the questioning of the role of innovation in high-tech exports. Despite the anticipated gains of high-tech trade, the competitiveness of high-tech exporters remains low. Also, the reduction in employment is noticeable along with the increase in high-tech trade. Drawing upon this scenario, this research aims to study the role of innovation on high-tech trade and the implication of high-tech trade. This research is using a sample of 20 major high-tech exporting countries. The time span for this study is from 2007 to 2016. This research has three specific objectives. The first objective of this research is to analyse the impact of innovation on the high-tech trade. Departing from the existing literature, this study also examines the impact of innovation on the extensive margin of high-tech trade. The empirical analysis is conducted based on the gravity model of trade. Empirically, an increase in domestic research and expenditure (R&D) expenditure by one percent will induce high-tech exports value to grow by 0.34 percent and numbers of exported products by about 0.08 percent, respectively. The second objective of this study is to examine the impact of high-tech trade on national competitiveness. The empirical analysis was done using panel data estimation technique including the Bias-corrected Least Square Dummy Variable (LSDVC). An increase in high-tech trade by one percent increases national competitiveness by 0.09 index point. The third objective of this research is to study the impact of high-tech trade on employment structure. The LSDVC estimation technique was employed to estimate this impact. A one percent increase in high-tech trade increases the share of employment for the high-skill worker by 0.05 percent and reduces the share of employment for the middle-skill worker by 0.03 percent. The positive impact of R&D expenditure on high-tech export suggests that the domestic investment in innovative activities is crucial to support the development of the high-tech industry. Tax incentives and other policies to encourage innovation such as research collaboration are needed to enhance high-tech exports. High-tech trade also boosts national competitiveness. High competitiveness enhances economic growth, income levels, and people's standard of living. Hence, policy should be formulated in a way that can promote high-tech trade. However, the expansion of high-tech trade may harm certain segments of the labour market. It reduces the demand for the middle skilled worker. The shrinking of demand may suppress their wages and widen the inequality in the society. This will harm the process of achieving sustainable development. The policy to develop the high-tech industry must be accompanied by an appropriate labour policy such as an upskilling program. Even though high-tech trade may enhance the living standard of the people, the unintended effect of its expansion must be taken into consideration
