【 摘 要 】

The link between income inequality and economic growth has drawn great attention from economists and policy-makers around the globe. However, gender-based income inequality has been largely ignored in current literature, particularly in emerging markets such as Vietnam. This study examines the impact of gender wage inequality on economic growth of 63 provinces in Vietnam during the period of 2004-2014 using existing data from most recent surveys. In this study, income inequality is measured using: (i) Gini Index and (ii) Theil Index. The research findings indicate that male-based income inequality plays a significant role and positively impacts economic growth while female-based income inequality negatively affects economic growth in Vietnam.
