Abstract

Economic growth is a vital force behind both national and international development, since it raises living standards, lowers poverty, and improves wellbeing. Increases in the GDP and other economic indicators have historically been used to gauge economic growth. But our knowledge of what propels economic development has changed over the past several decades. Among the many elements influencing economic expansion, women's roles have drawn a lot of attention. This subject is crucial because it shows how promoting gender equality in the workplace may promote sustainable development. In addition to being important for social justice, women's economic engagement is a major factor in economic growth.
