Tóm tắt

Nghèo đói và bất bình đẳng giới là hai vấn đề lớn ở các nước đang phát triển có thể cản trở sự tiến bộ kinh tế và phát triển con người của họ. Do đó, nghiên cứu này được thiết kế để điều tra tác động của phát triển tài chính đến bất bình đẳng giới và nghèo đói trong bối cảnh của Pakistan, kiểm soát một số biến số khác bằng phương pháp đồng liên kết Bayer và Hanck cũng như kiểm tra giới hạn ARDL dựa trên dữ liệu từ năm 1985 đến năm 2022. Kết quả của nghiên cứu chỉ ra rằng có sự đồng liên kết giữa các biến số. Các ước lượng trong dài hạn cho thấy sự phát triển tài chính làm giảm bất bình đẳng giới (bất bình đẳng giới) trong bối cảnh của Pakistan; tuy nhiên, nó lại làm tăng mức độ nghèo đói ở đất nước này. Trong bối cảnh các biến số kiểm soát, chúng tôi nhận thấy rằng giáo dục có tác dụng trong việc giảm thiểu bất bình đẳng giới tại Pakistan trong khi tăng trưởng kinh tế lại làm gia tăng bất bình đẳng giới. Hơn nữa, tăng trưởng kinh tế là một công cụ đáng tin cậy để giảm mức độ nghèo đói tại Pakistan, và việc giảm bất bình đẳng giới có thể giúp giảm mức độ nghèo đói tại đất nước này. Điều đáng ngạc nhiên là giáo dục lại gia tăng mức độ nghèo đói tại Pakistan, cho thấy hệ thống giáo dục ở Pakistan không cung cấp giáo dục chất lượng cho người nghèo. Dựa trên những kết quả này, nghiên cứu gợi ý rằng chính phủ có thể tập trung vào việc phát triển một kế hoạch chiến lược để giảm bất bình đẳng giới và nghèo đói bằng cách giới thiệu các chính sách phù hợp trong bối cảnh của lĩnh vực tài chính, giáo dục và tăng trưởng kinh tế.
