Our analysis suggests that investing in education should be the highest priority, with greater emphasis on skill-biased training programmes, particularly those involving cognitive skill. We find a decline in earnings inequality where the decomposition analysis shows that earnings structure effect rather than characteristics effect plays a key role, with routine-task intensity of jobs and education explaining the majority of differences in earnings. Our analysis shows a fall in the average routine intensity of tasks with no evidence of job polarization.
This paper has utilized different rounds of Labour Force Survey data of Bangladesh and combined it with occupation network data of the United States along with its country-specific database and analysed the role of such factors on labour market outcomes. With structural changes in production coupled with technological progress, there have been shifts in modes of production and patterns of employment, with important consequences on task composition of occupations. The implication for policy and practice is discussed in this chapter. A comparative analysis of the inequality in school enrollment in Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa was explored. This chapter explores the gender inequality in the educational sector in selected Sub-Saharan African countries. In addition, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) also emphasized quality education and gender equality as two of the main agendas that should be achieved by developed and developing countries. Universal access to education for girls and boys is one of the objectives of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). A major wicked problem that is pervasive in many African countries is gender inequality in education. Many of the wicked problems are so-called because of their complexities and difficulties in finding solutions to the problems. Various social ills such as inequality, political instability, terrorism, diseases, famine, poverty, and corruption are considered as a wicked problem. Since the coinage of the term 'wicked problem' in the 1970s, various dimensions of the concept have emerged.
