【 摘 要 】

Gender equality is a core developmentobjective in its own right, and it is also smart economics.Greater gender equality pays off by helping advance a hostof development goals, such as improvements inchildren's health and education and better laboroutcomes for adults, at the same time boosting overalleconomic growth (Morrison, Raju, and Sinha 2007 and WorldBank 2011).For example, gender gaps in the Romanian labormarket may be harming aggregate productivity due toinefficient use of female potential. These gaps areestimated to potentially lower gross income per capita by11.53 percent in the short run and 12.63 percent in the longrun (Cuberes and Teignier 2016).
