“…Still, differences in financial capacity within the group of authors may cause potential conflicts, especially when some members cannot pay their share. Such conflicts are possible in Vietnam and elsewhere due to gender differences in income and the amount of scientific funding received [31,32]. Second, female researchers may have lower future benefit expectations from the payment than their male counterparts in terms of promotion and career advancement.…”

Open Access Publishing Probabilities Based on Gender and Authorship Structures in Vietnam

Open access (OA) publishing is beneficial for researchers to improve recognition, representation, and visibility in academia. However, few studies have been conducted for studying the association between gender and OA publishing likelihood. Therefore, the current study explores the impacts of gender-based authorship structures on OA publishing in Vietnamese social sciences and humanities. Bayesian analysis was performed on a dataset of 3122 publications in social sciences and humanities. We found that publications with mixed-gender authorship were most likely to be published under Gold Access terms (26.31–31.65%). In contrast, the likelihood of publications with the solely male or female author(s) was lower. It is also notable that if female researcher(s) held the first-author position in an article of mixed-gender authorship, the publication would be less likely to be published under Gold Access terms (26.31% compared to 31.65% of male-first-author structure). In addition, publications written by a solo female author (14.19%) or a group of female authors (10.72%) had lower OA publishing probabilities than those written by a solely male author(s) (17.14%). These findings hint at the possible advantage of gender diversity and the disadvantage of gender homophily (especially female-only authorship) on OA publishing likelihood. Moreover, they show there might be some negative impacts of gender inequality on OA publishing. As a result, the notion of gender diversity, financial and policy supports are recommended to promote the open science movement.

“…These include socio-demographic characteristics such as the average household age, average education, size, dependency ratio, and the gender of the household head. Previous studies have shown that these factors are important determinants of extraction (Angelsen et al ., 2014; Nguyen et al ., 2015, 2018 a ) and a source of ethnic inequality (Dang, 2012; Nguyen, 2017, 2019; Vo et al ., 2021). We use averages to better represent the diversity of household members.…”

Natural resource extraction is an important livelihood strategy for poor rural households in developing and emerging countries. Despite the sharp decline in poverty in Vietnam, inequality still exists between the ethnic majority and minority. This paper aims to analyze the impact of natural resource extraction on ethnic inequality. We use panel data from Dak Lak in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. The Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition shows that ethnic differences in extraction are due to different group characteristics and different returns to these characteristics. Endogenous switching regressions find that extraction has heterogeneous effects on consumption across extracting and non-extracting households, and between majority and minority households. Treatment effects suggest that extraction sustains the consumption of extracting minority households because their consumption would decline if they stopped extracting. Our results indicate that it is important to improve the natural resource base and the ability of minorities to cope with shocks.

“…This gender wage inequality hurts low income and single-income families. Duc et al (2021) appraised the income gap between sexes in Vietnam using data from the Household Living Standard Survey. Their results revealed that education, gender, ethnicity, economic sectors and geographical areas are determinants of wage differentials.…”

This paper contributes to the understanding of the long-run and short-run drivers of income inequality in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and its sub-regions based on the evidence from bootstrap cointegration and autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model. The findings from the bootstrap cointegration test reveal a long-run relationship exists for almost the entire SSA and its sub-regions for the dependent variable, independent variables and the overall models. The exception being West Africa where the dependent variable was not statistically significant but the independent variables and overall model were cointegrated. The results from the ARDL show that for SSA, in the long run, economic growth decreases the uneven distribution of income whereas in the short run economic growth increases inequality. A reduction in corruption in the short run and long run makes inequality fall. Population growth in the long run and short run aggravates the distribution of income. A rise in the rate of unemployment in the short run and long run has a positive relationship with income inequality. Trade globalization in the long run heightens inequality but is not significant in the short run.
