Item Do Women's Advancement and Gender Parity Promote Economic Growth? Evidence from 30 Asian Countries(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2020) Mishra, P.K; Mishra, S.K; Sarang,i M.K.Women's advancement and consequential gender equality have significant implications for human capital formation, increase in labour productivity, employment creation, poverty reduction, and overall socio-economic and human development. So, inclusive growth and sustainable development would not be possible without women�s empowerment and gender equality. Thus, targeting women�s empowerment is extensively relevant for Asian countries. In this context, this article explored the impact of the gender factors on the economic growth of 30 Asian economies over the period from 1997 to 2015 by using panel autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) model. It provides the evidence of an overall positive impact of the gender parity index of health, education, employment and democratic representation on the economic growth of Asia in the long run. Therefore, gender equality is an important determinant of economic growth in Asian countries, and hence, should be on board while planning for the empowerment of women. - 2020 Association of Asia Scholars.Item Gender Parity in Education and Economic Growth: Empirical Evidence from Select Asian Countries(Pedagogy of Learning, 2016) Mishra, S. K.; Mishra, P. K.Since last few decades, there is a consensus among the academicians and the policy makers that the gender parity in education has positive implications for economic and social development. It has been argued that gender parity in education can contribute significantly to economic growth by expanding the stock of human capital, raising labour productivity, and also by increasing the stock of physical capital. Thus, this paper is an attempt to examine the effects of gender parity in education on the long-run economic growth of selected Asian countries over a period from 2000 to 2014. The long-run impacts of gender parity indicators on economic growth of these countries have been investigated employing Pooled Mean Group estimator based ARDL model in apanel framework. The estimation results provide the evidence of the positive and significant effects of gender parity indicators on the economic growth of Asian countries. This finding is significant for policy makers in formulating strategies and programmes favouring women in these economies.
