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. 410 0$aBooks 606 $aWomen$xEmployment 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aIncome distribution 606 $aLabor$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aWomen''s Studies'$2imf 606 $aGender Studies$2imf 606 $aEconomics of Gender$2imf 606 $aNon-labor Discrimination$2imf 606 $aLabor Standards: Labor Force Composition$2imf 606 $aAggregate Factor Income Distribution$2imf 606 $aLabor Economics: General$2imf 606 $aEducation: General$2imf 606 $aGender studies$2imf 606 $awomen & girls$2imf 606 $aSocial discrimination & equal treatment$2imf 606 $aGender studies, gender groups$2imf 606 $aLabour$2imf 606 $aincome economics$2imf 606 $aWomen$2imf 606 $aGender inequality$2imf 606 $aGender diversity$2imf 606 $aLabor force participation$2imf 606 $aIncome inequality$2imf 606 $aSex discrimination$2imf 606 $aSex role$2imf 606 $aLabor market$2imf 606 $aIncome distribution$2imf 607 $aCosta Rica$2imf 615 0$aWomen$xEmployment. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aIncome distribution. 615 7$aLabor 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aWomen''s Studies' 615 7$aGender Studies 615 7$aEconomics of Gender 615 7$aNon-labor Discrimination 615 7$aLabor Standards: Labor Force Composition 615 7$aAggregate Factor Income Distribution 615 7$aLabor Economics: General 615 7$aEducation: General 615 7$aGender studies 615 7$awomen & girls 615 7$aSocial discrimination & equal treatment 615 7$aGender studies, gender groups 615 7$aLabour 615 7$aincome economics 615 7$aWomen 615 7$aGender inequality 615 7$aGender diversity 615 7$aLabor force participation 615 7$aIncome inequality 615 7$aSex discrimination 615 7$aSex role 615 7$aLabor market 615 7$aIncome distribution 676 $a331.4 700 $aKochhar$b Kalpana$01546547 701 $aJain-Chandra$b Sonali$01552511 701 $aNewiak$b Monique$01552512 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund, 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792752203321 996 $aWomen, Work, and Economic Growth$93812438 997 $aUNINA
