“…Results are supported by Johansen cointegration and ADF tests. Yumusak et al (2013) conduct different cointegration tests of rate of girls among primary school graduates, high school graduates and university graduates with GDP growth for Turkey between 1968 and 2006. Puzzlingly, no cointegration analysis is conducted and just raw correlations of the three variables with GDP growth are shown.…”

We conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the empirical literature on the impact of gender inequality in education on per capita economic growth, including crosscountry , time series, and sub-national growth regressions. Studies using male and female education as separate covariates show a larger effect of female than male education on growth, except when an arguably problematic regression specification popularized by Barro and co-authors is used. We conduct a meta-regression analysis for studies that use the female-male ratio of education as explanatory variable. There we find evidence for a positive and statistically significant relationship between gender equality in education and growth based on 216 estimates from 17 such studies. We find that the average partial correlation coefficient between economic growth and the ratio of female over male education is 0.25, which is a moderate effect. The effect does not appear to be influenced by publication bias, it increases when one controls for initial education levels and social/institutional controls, while it falls with the use of fixed effects, the inclusion of economic controls, and the share of female authors. 1 Acknowledgements: We thank Hugh Waddington, Chris Doucouliagos, participants at workshops and conferences in Delhi, Göttingen, IAFFE conference in Seoul, Development Economics and Policy Conference in Zurich for helpful comments and suggestions.

“…While it is mental or spiritual people who are married in the mature age more in control of his emotions in the face of various problems in the family.

“…The gender element was initially brought into growth discourse partly due to the argument that women have higher propensity to save compared to men in their household consumption [hence increasing the country's GDP] [36]. It was also initially driven by concerns on humanitarian grounds that gender inequality may be detrimental to economic growth because it may breed poverty and disempowerment on a specific gender group [37] and [38].…”

“…Later studies are more appreciative of women and their role as skilled human capital. [38] argued that with greater decision-making power, granting women equal access to land and credit market would lead to reduction in inequality, which alleviates poverty and subsequently increases economic growth. Under this premise, gender inequality is seen as a distortion to the pool of human capital that will affect economic growth and development.…”

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.
