WiSE Research and Close the Gap today launched the report “Gender Equality Pays The economic case for addressing women’s labour market inequality”.
The report, authored by the WiSE Research Centre’s Emily Thomson, Senior Lecturer and Naveed Hakeem, PhD Student, finds that gender equality continues to be of key economic importance to the Scottish business sector, particularly given the structural changes in Scotland’s labour market brought about by the recent recession. Gender diversity in management and family-friendly or flexible workplace policies are good for growth of individual businesses and the economy as a whole. The clear message from the current literature and evidence is that gender equality pays.
