Gender and Development

Gender and Development is a framework within Developmental Economics that examines how gender inequality affects economic growth and development. It emphasizes the importance of including both women and men in economic planning and decision-making. By addressing disparities in education, employment, and resources, this approach aims to empower women, enhance their contributions to the economy, and improve overall societal well-being. Recognizing that gender equality can lead to better outcomes not just for individuals, but for communities and nations as a whole, this perspective advocates for policies that support equitable access and opportunities for all genders.
