摘要：
We analyse the effect of education on gender parity in wage employment in sub-Saharan African countries. The data used cover a panel of 43 countries over the period 2000-2019. The two-stage least squares method is used. The results show that secondary and tertiary education and gender parity in education improve gender equality in wage employment. Therefore, to reduce gender inequality in wage employment, African countries should promote gender equality, particularly in secondary and tertiary education, by adopting policies to alleviate the conditions and costs of schooling for girls.
