Catalyst for Change: Empowering Women and Tackling Income Inequality

IMF discussion paper shows strong linkage between gender inequality and income inequality

International Monetary Fund discussion paper shows empirically that gender inequality and income inequality are strongly interlinked. Analyzes gender inequality by using and extending United Nations' Gender Inequality Index (GII) to cover two decades for almost 140 countries. Increase in GII from perfect gender equality to perfect inequality is associated with an almost 10 points higher net Gini coefficient. For advanced countries, with higher gender equality in opportunities, income inequality arises mainly through gender gaps in economic participation. For emerging market and developing countries, inequality of opportunity, in particular in education and health, appear to pose larger obstacles to income equality.

Financial Inclusion - Can It Meet Multiple Macroeconomic Goals?

IMF note examines macroeconomic implications of financial inclusion

International Monetary Fund discussion note finds significant benefit to economic growth from financial inclusion. However, benefits diminish as financial inclusion and depth become large. Broadening access to credit can compromise economic and bank stability in countries with weak bank supervision. Other forms of financial inclusion - such as access to and use of bank accounts, branches, and ATMS - do not hurt stability, and can be promoted extensively.
