The attainment of a more equitable society and narrowing gender differences are two issues that are drawing considerable attention from policymakers in a number of countries. There is also increasing recognition that the pursuit of these two objectives is not just desirable from a social equity perspective, but that it would have beneficial effects for the macroeconomy. As a result, a number of papers have studied the links between income inequality and growth, as well as female labor force participation and its link to the overall economy. This paper aims to extend this literature by documenting the links between inequality of income and that of gender.
