Gender-specific Call of Duty: A Note on the Neglect of Conscription in Gender Equality Indices
We document that existing gender equality indices do not account for gender-specific mandatory peace-time conscription (compulsory military service). This suggests that gender-specific conscription is not considered to be an important gender issue. If an indicator measuring the gender equality of ma...
