Sakalis, A. (2021) Agri-culture of the Motherland. The effect of land inequality on gender equality beliefs. Working Paper. Sheffield Economic Research Paper Series, 2021001 (2021001). Department of Economics, University of Sheffield ISSN 1749-8368
Abstract
Contemporary beliefs about gender equality differ across countries. Beliefs towards gender equality focus on the position and role of women in society, which include beliefs for women’s participation in the labor market, higher education, and politics. I explore how historical differences in land ownership affected gender equality beliefs. Historical land inequality has a negative effect on beliefs about gender equality. I also trace historical land inequality on the beliefs of second generation immigrants. The mother’s country of origin appears to drive the effect. This finding is consistent with similar findings from cultural transmission literature.
