Chapter Abstract & Scholarly Scope
Gender is not just a social identity; it is a powerful determinant of access to resources, participation in the labour market, ownership of assets, decision making, and overall well-being. This reality has led to the field of Gender Economics, which aims to understand how economic systems affect people differently based on gender and how equitable policies can promote inclusive and sustainable development. The goal of this book is to provide readers with an understandable, approachable, and useful introduction to the ideas, theories, and applications of gender economics. By looking at topics including gender disparity in education, health, employment, earnings, entrepreneurship, political engagement, unpaid care work, poverty, and financial resource access, it investigates the relationship between economics and gender. The significance of gender-responsive legislation, gender budgeting, and the role of national and international organisations in advancing gender equality are all highlighted.
