Despite significant progress in recent decades, labor markets across the world remain divided along gender lines, and progress toward gender equality seems to have stalled. The challenges of growth, job creation, and inclusion are closely intertwined. This volume brings together key research by IMF economists on issues related to gender and macroeconomics. In addition to providing policy prescriptions and case studies from IMF member countries, the chapters also look at the gender gap from an economic point of view.BooksWomenEmploymentEconomic developmentIncome distributionLaborimfMacroeconomicsimfWomen''s Studies'imfGender StudiesimfEconomics of GenderimfNon-labor DiscriminationimfLabor Standards: Labor Force CompositionimfAggregate Factor Income DistributionimfLabor Economics: GeneralimfEducation: GeneralimfGender studiesimfwomen & girlsimfSocial discrimination & equal treatmentimfGender studies, gender groupsimfLabourimfincome economicsimfWomenimfGender inequalityimfGender diversityimfLabor force participationimfIncome inequalityimfSex discriminationimfSex roleimfLabor marketimfIncome distributionimfCosta RicaimfWomenEmployment.Economic development.Income distribution.LaborMacroeconomicsWomen''s Studies'Gender StudiesEconomics of GenderNon-labor DiscriminationLabor Standards: Labor Force CompositionAggregate Factor Income DistributionLabor Economics: GeneralEducation: GeneralGender studieswomen & girlsSocial discrimination & equal treatmentGender studies, gender groupsLabourincome economicsWomenGender inequalityGender diversityLabor force participationIncome inequalitySex discriminationSex roleLabor marketIncome distribution331.4Kochhar Kalpana1546547Jain-Chandra Sonali1552511Newiak Monique1552512International Monetary Fund,DcWaIMFBOOK9910792752203321Women, Work, and Economic Growth3812438UNINA
