Course Description

This course provides an overview of the linkages between gender equality and macroeconomic variables; highlights the gender-unequal impact of COVID-19 and its possible macroeconomic consequences; stresses the importance of closing gender gaps for an inclusive, sustainable recovery; and discusses policies (including measures related to taxes, government expenditures, public financial management, and structural issues such as financial access) to address gender inequality.
