Abstract

Gender equality has so far eluded us. There are still many restrictions on women's employability across the world. Even among developed free market-type economies, pay gaps and scant representation in senior positions remain. Indeed, progress has stalled in recent years leaving women more likely to be ghettoized in lower wage occupations and subject to conscious and unconscious bias with negative impacts on productivity, growth, and general well-being. It seems that capitalism, unaided, won't solve it.

Keywords: economics of gender, education and inequality, economic development
