| Summary: | Gender equality is a core development
objective in its own right, and it is also smart economics.
Greater gender equality pays off by helping advance a host
of development goals, such as improvements in
children's health and education and better labor
outcomes for adults, at the same time boosting overall
economic growth (Morrison, Raju, and Sinha 2007 and World
Bank 2011).For example, gender gaps in the Romanian labor
market may be harming aggregate productivity due to
inefficient use of female potential. These gaps are
estimated to potentially lower gross income per capita by
11.53 percent in the short run and 12.63 percent in the long
run (Cuberes and Teignier 2016). |
