The role of cognitive and socioemotional skills alongside education
in determining people's success in the labour market has been the
topic of a growing body of research - but previous studies have
mostly missed middle-income countries and the developing world
because measures of those skills and data on employment and
earnings on large enough samples of adults have typically not been
available. Using comparable survey data on these schooling, skills
and labour market outcomes from 13 developing and emerging
economies worldwide, this book revisits human capital and gender
inequality models. It presents new estimates of the returns to
different levels of schooling as well as cognitive and
socioemotional skills for women and men. It examines whether those
returns are due to levels of human capital or to structural bias in
labour markets, and how these two factors work across the earnings
spectrum. The book examines the existence of 'glass ceilings' and
'sticky floors' for women using this expanded measure of human
capital. Further, by analyzing a group of countries of wide-ranging
levels of economic development and socio-political contexts, the
book reveals patterns and insights into how context mediates the
relationship between skills and gender gaps in labour market
outcomes. This book will be of interest to scholars of human
capital and gender inequality in the labour market and development
economics, as well as gender and development policy makers.
