Abstract

Taking into consideration the influence that educational gender gap could have on the economic growth of countries, this research aims to study this impact, as well as the evolution in recent years and the current situation of gender inequalities in education. To achieve this, a quantitative analysis of these inequities is conducted, and an estimation, using the method of generalized least squares, of the impact of education on the GDP growth rate is performed. The results show that the gender gap in secondary education remains significant in low-income countries and indicate a negative impact on the economy due to barriers limiting women's access to the labor market.
