Summary:	The effects of trade liberalisation on female labour depend on a country's socio-economic and employment sector characteristics. A gender-aware computable general equilibrium model is applied to Ethiopia and South Africa from a comparative perspective. Tarif reduction results in opposite outcomes regarding gender-based wage and labour market participation inequalities in the two countries due to their structural differences in men's and women's employment.
