5. INTRODUCTION
Economy is a critical element to a successful community.
Vladimir Lenin says that "The best way to ruin a
country is to degrade its currency. (Economy)”.
• The relationship between Gender Gap and Economy is negative relation, Gender Gap has a disaster impact
on Economy of a Country.
• Globally, women have fewer opportunities for economic participation than men, less access to basic and
higher education, greater health and safety risks, and less political representation. Where as in population
women are in same ratio to men.

6. • On a per capita basis, gender inequality in earnings could lead to losses in wealth of
$23,620 per person globally.
• Men who are less able than women have better access to education, political, social
and economic resources, and the labour market, and therefore to economic opportunities. Thus productivity,
capital accumulation,technological progress and the institutional framework of production are all affected by
gender inequality.

10. Article 1
Title: Does Gender Inequality Affect Economic Growth? Empirics from Asian Countries.
• Panel data analysis
• Data was collected from 48 Asian countries from 2003 to 2018 to check the impact of gender inequality in
education on economic growth.
• The result shows that an increase in gender parity positively affects economic growth. Gender equality in
tertiary education seems to increase economic growth.

11. Article 2
 Title: Impact of educational and gender inequality on income and income inequality
In South Asian countries
 Dependent variable: Income Inequality, Educational inequality
 Independent variable: Average year of schooling
 The study uses data from six South Asian countries from 1980 to 2010 a five-year
average, data of the proportion of male, female and total population aged from 15 and
over for each attainment level of education and income inequality are obtained.
Bangladesh
India
Pakistan
Nepal
Sri Lanka
Maldives
 Results imply that equal distribution of education is important to increase the income level
of a country because if education is not equally distributed among the people than a big
part of profit retained by well-educated people which will further widen the income gap.

• Use micro level data of Asian economies, and numerous policy experiments are conducted to investigate how
various aspects of gender inequality are related to the growth performance of the economy.
• Result suggest that if gender inequality is completely removed, aggregate income will be about 6.6% and 14.5%
higher than the benchmark economy after one and two generations while per capita income will be higher by
30.6% and 71.1%,repectively.

Today women make up of half the US workforce, but the average working women earn only
77% of what the average men makes.”
What Asian countries do

18. POLICY RECOMMENDATION
• Asia should promote gender equality in education, employment, welfare, health, wage rate for economic growth
and prosperity of country because women are very crucial for economic growth of any country. To promote peace
and stability is to provide economic opportunities to empower women.
• People in poor areas do not get quality education and specially girls
are always deprived of education due to poverty. To remove gender
inequality, it is necessary to build more schools especially for girl
near their houses.

19. • In allocation of public funds priority may be given to the education. Women have skills and education but
they are not given the opportunities.
•An employment-intensive strategy should be developed that make particular use of women and promote
female workers’ skills and education and empowerment, it can be one big step into making a change.
•Gender equality in welfare and health can have a positive impact on various valuable development goals like
fertility, morality and nutrition.
• Share household chores and child care equality
