SUMMARY OF SURVEY ON GENDER AND MACROECONOMICS""; ""REFERENCES""This survey examines the implications of gender differences in economic behavior for macroeconomic policy. It finds that reducing gender inequality and improving the status of women may contribute to higher rates of economic growth and greater macroeconomic stability. Women's relative lack of opportunities in developing countries inhibits economic growth, while, at the same time, economic growth leads to a reduction in their disadvantaged condition. Equality of opportunity in labor and financial markets is critical to enabling women to take full advantage of improved macroeconomic conditions. Macroeconomic policies should take into account the benefits of reducing gender inequalities, especially in the lowest-income countries where these differences are most pronounced, and should consider the potentially harsher short-term effects of economic austerity measures on women to avoid exacerbating gender inequalities.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2006/233MacroeconomicsEconomic policyEconomicsLaborimfWomen''s Studies'imfGender StudiesimfEconomics of GenderimfNon-labor DiscriminationimfDemand and Supply of Labor: GeneralimfEducation: GeneralimfGender studiesimfwomen & girlsimfSocial discrimination & equal treatmentimfLabourimfincome economicsimfGender studies, gender groupsimfEducationimfWomenimfGender inequalityimfLabor marketsimfGenderimfSex discriminationimfLabor marketimfSex roleimfBangladeshimfMacroeconomicsEconomic policy.Economics.LaborWomen''s Studies'Gender StudiesEconomics of GenderNon-labor DiscriminationDemand and Supply of Labor: GeneralEducation: GeneralGender studieswomen & girlsSocial discrimination & equal treatmentLabourincome economicsGender studies, gender groupsEducationWomenGender inequalityLabor marketsGenderSex discriminationLabor marketSex roleStotsky Janet1094931International Monetary Fund.Fiscal Affairs Dept.DcWaIMFBOOK9910814670503321Gender and its Relevance to Macroeconomic Policy4098576UNINA
