Gender inequality is generally perceived as a deterrent to economic growth and as a result much of effort by the United Nations, World Bank, NGOs, Nigerian government and governments around the world have been enunciated to cauterise it. While several policies have been put in place to promote gender equality in Nigeria, progress in this area is rather slow. The need to achieve gender equality is crucial. Therefore, the paper empirically examines the influence of gender inequality and female labour force participation in the civil service on the economic growth of Nigeria. The data cut across 35 states in Nigeria from 2008 to 2016. The model is estimated using a panel data Fixed Effect estimation. The findings suggested that the economic cost of an increase in men’s employment at the expense of women’s employment may have a negative impact on economic growth. Thus, the pursuit of equi-gender representation is an important measure towards, women empowerment, reducing their dependency, elevating their socio-economic status, and achieving economic growth.

“…Com isso, o salário relativo e a empregabilidade cresceram entre as mulheres que compunham a força de trabalho operária, mas não afetou significativamente as que trabalhavam em cargos administrativos. Arora (2012) verifica quais os impactos da globalização e do desenvolvimento econômico na desigualdade de gênero para os diferentes estados da Índia. O autor mostra que, ao mesmo tempo em que estados com elevada renda per capita possuem baixa desigualdade de gênero, existem também alguns estados em que uma alta renda per capita coincide com alta desigualdade, de modo que renda elevada não parece ser determinante para equidade de gênero.…”

“…O índice de igualdade de gênero (IIG) contempla quatro fatores distintos, conforme discutido na seção anterior. Com o objetivo de entender fatores que explicariam a melhoria do IIG dentro dos estados brasileiros, neste artigo recorre-se à literatura anterior focada em diferenças na equidade de gênero ocasionadas por alterações em medidas de desenvolvimento econômico (Lagerlöf, 2003;Dollar and Gatti, 1999;Gumbel, 2004), globalização (Arora, 2012;La Ferrara, Chong e Duryea, 2012;Oostendorp, 2004;Baliamoune-Lutz, 2006; Juhn, Ujhelyi e Villegas-Sanchez, 2013; Mukhopadyay and Chaudhuri, 2013) e bem-estar (Schneider, 2013;Bárcena-Martín e Moro-Egido, 2013;Seguino, 2006).…”

Resumo A igualdade de gênero é fundamental para um desenvolvimento econômico sustentável. O Brasil, apesar de ser uma das maiores economias do mundo, ainda precisa de um grande avanço no sentido de conquistar uma sociedade mais igualitária entre homens e mulheres quando comparado a países do mesmo porte econômico. O presente estudo faz uma análise da evolução da igualdade de gênero no Brasil entre 1997 e 2012, e quais os impactos da globalização, do desenvolvimento econômico e de medidas de bem-estar sobre a distribuição da igualdade de gênero entre os estados brasileiros. Para isso, foi utilizada a metodologia econométrica de dados em painel. Os resultados mostram que a igualdade de gênero aumentou no período e que, além disso, a globalização, mensurada com base no investimento direto estrangeiro e no acesso da população a aparelhos de televisão, elevou a igualdade entre os sexos no Brasil.

“…A large number of studies based on cross-country results have also highlighted the role of gender in economic growth and development. At an aggregate level, these studies have shown that inequality in gender is bad for economic growth and lower the gender inequality, higher is per capita income and economic growth (Arora, 2012). Today, in the era of globalization where the world is vocal about providing equal opportunities to the fairer sex, the data from developed and developing countries show a different picture altogether.…”

In this study, the researcher has studied the family climate for adolescents in urban society in India. The typical urban family in India has modern lifestyle and is also technologically advanced. It is believed that these families are progressive in comparison to their rural counterparts. The present research work is aimed to study the family climate of adolescents from urban families in association with their gender. A total of 309 adolescents (163 boys and 146 girls) in the age group of 14–15 years were randomly selected from the secondary schools of Aurangabad, a city in Maharashtra state of India for the academic year 2016–2017. The tool used for data collection was family climate scale (FCS) developed by Dr Beena Shah and published by National Psychological Corporation, Agra, India. In this test, family climate means an interpersonal relationship between the parents and the child. The test assesses the family climate on 10 dimensions. Data were collected by personally meeting the adolescents. The collected data were analysed using chi-squared test. The study showed that more male adolescents had favourable family climate as compared to female adolescents and the difference was significant. Also, the number of female adolescents having unfavourable family climate was significantly higher as compared to male adolescents. The study concluded that the age-old gender bias is still very much prevalent in India. The boys are favoured and given a more conducive and positive family atmosphere as compared to the girls. Hence, there is a need for creating awareness to curb this bias and help the girls in the family to be treated at par with their male counterparts.
