gender inequality, economic growth, GDPAbstract
The situation in Peru is not indifferent to gender inequality, which is a persistent problem in our society hindering the best possible scenario of economic growth. This study aims to measure the incidence of gender equity in Peru’s economic growth, given that, in recent years, the role of women in the socioeconomic sphere has gained momentum, positively impacting GDP growth across the world. Results are obtained from a quantitative analysis conducted from 2001 to 2018, by estimating the logarithmic regression model, which is based on time-series data. The analysis shows a significant relationship between gender equity and economic growth.
