A comparison of male-female earnings differences across two Caribbean economies

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to analyze differences in earnings among males and females in the economies of Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago. Barbados' main economic industries are tourism and export-oriented multinational businesses while Trinidad and Tobago depends on petroleum. Results indicated that women's earnings average about 85% of men in both economies. However, findings also showed that women in Barbados have less benefits than their counterparts in Trinidad and Tobago which supports a higher level of gender inequality.

Results show that it was only in the first two sectors where demand caused the rise in the inflation rate.
