Expert group meeting: Macroeconomic policies and women’s economic empowerment

The expert group meeting on “Macroeconomic policies and women’s economic empowerment” will bring together more than thirty world-renowned feminist economists to identify a forward-looking research and policy advocacy agenda in the areas of macroeconomic policy and women’s economic empowerment. Among the issues to be discussed are:

• which types of growth and labor market strategies can create more productive employment opportunities for women,
• how to maximize fiscal space for women’s economic empowerment, and
• how to create political space for advocacy and public policy on macroeconomic policy and women’s economic empowerment.

More specifically, the main objectives of the expert group meeting are to:

• take stock of conceptual frameworks and empirical evidence examining the relationship between macroeconomic policy and women’s economic empowerment,
• identify critical gaps in the literature for policy research/analysis, and
• identify ways to strengthen advocacy and partnerships in these areas.
