Gender gaps that disadvantage women and girls – in employment, education, health, and more – tend to be bigger in lower-income countries than in higher-income countries. This lecture will discuss why economic progress often helps bring about more gender equality, and, conversely, why gender inequality slows economic progress. It will also discuss some exceptions to the rule that economic development brings about gender equality – and how public policy can help alleviate this tension.
