Gender equality

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) says gender equality “means that women and men, and girls and boys, enjoy the same rights, resources, opportunities and protections.” Gender equality is one of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) show how gender inequality is correlated with income inequality and real GDP per capita growth. Macroeconomic outcomes are affected by gender inequalities, and gender inequalities are influenced by macroeconomic policies. Clements (2019), for example, explores how gender inequality affects the UK labour market.
