Mainstream economic analysis has traditionally overlooked gender.
The individual the basic category of analysis was regarded as
genderless. Neither gender discrimination nor segmentation and
segregation within the labor market or within the household was
present. Contributions from development theory, new household
economics (NHE), labor economics, and feminist analysis have done
much to change this. Focusing on gender equality by which we mean
equality in opportunity, inputs, and outcome has yielded important
insights for the growth and development of an economy. But we are
still at the cusp. While there have been huge improvements in
recognizing gender as an analytical category at the microeconomic
level, the macroeconomic implications of gender equality remain
undeveloped. Engendering macroeconomics is an important and valid
research and policy area. Over the past three decades, economic
development has generally affected women differently than men in
the developing world. At the same time, gender relations have
affected macroeconomic outcomes. This volume examines the research
and policy implications of engendering macroeconomic policy."
