men and women become more equal

It is becoming increasingly clear that women are, and will continue to be, powerful drivers of development. When men and women become more equal, economies grow faster, fewer people remain in poverty, and overall well-being increases.Studies have reported that raising female employment to male
levels can have a direct impact on GDP growth rates, increasing it by as much as 34% in some countries and that countries’productivity can increase by as much as 25 % if discriminatory barriers against women are removed.
