Gender, Institutions, and Development

Gender, Institutions, and Development explores how gender roles and relations affect economic, social, and political development. It examines how institutions—like governments, organizations, and cultural norms—shape opportunities and resources for different genders. Understanding this interplay helps highlight inequalities women and gender minorities face, which can hinder overall development. By addressing these gender disparities within institutions, societies can create fairer systems that promote equality, empower all individuals, and enhance development outcomes for everyone. This approach emphasizes the importance of integrating gender perspectives in policies and practices to achieve sustainable development.
