Gender, Quality of Life and Growth in Asia 1970 to 1990
Stephanie Seguino  

This paper examines the gender distribution of the benefits of economic growth in several Asian economies from 1970-90. Using Borda rank ordering, the author compares the progress made in these countries towards closing the gender gap in well-being. In addition to commonly-used indicators, trends in the ratio of females to males in the population are examined. She also explores determinants of changes in this ratio, using regression analysis.
