Romania Gender Assessment
Gender equality is a core development objective in its own right, and it is also smart economics. Greater gender equality pays off by helping advance a host of development goals, such as improvements in children's health and education and better labor outcomes for adults, at the same time boosting overall economic growth (Morrison, Raju, and Sinha 2007 and World Bank 2011).For example, gender gaps in the Romanian labor market may be harming aggregate productivity due to inefficient use of female potential. These gaps are estimated to potentially lower gross income per capita by 11.53 percent in the short run and 12.63 percent in the long run (Cuberes and Teignier 2016).
