Gender and Economic Development

Gender and Economic Development refers to the ways in which gender impacts economic growth and how economic policies can affect different genders. Gender equality in economic participation, education, and opportunities leads to better outcomes for communities and nations. When women and men have equal access to resources, jobs, and decision-making, economies tend to grow faster and become more resilient. Conversely, gender inequality can limit economic potential, hinder development, and perpetuate poverty. Promoting gender-sensitive policies can enhance productivity and foster inclusive growth, benefiting everyone in society.
