FAST FACTS: Gender Equality, the MDGs, and Sustainable Development
Only two out of 130 countries with available data have reached gender parity in all levels of education. An extra year of primary school can increase women’s eventual wages by 10-20%, and an extra year of secondary school increases them by 15-25%. Improvements in women’s educational achievement lead to healthier, smaller, better educated families and better outcomes for their children.
If women had the same access to land, productive assets and farming inputs as men, farm yields could increase by 20-30%, and raise total agricultural output in developing countries by 2.5-4%. This could in turn reduce the number of hungry people in the world by 12-17% and the number of undernourished by as many as 100 to 150 million.
The gender gap in unemployment widened between 2007 and 2012, and women lost 13 million jobs. Expanding women’s participation in the workforce can contribute to substantial increases in GDP, with country estimates ranging from 5 to 34%.
Women earn on average 23% less than men, and often do not have equal control over household finances. But when women have a say in family spending, income is more likely to be spent on children’s nutrition, health care and education.
Only 21% of seats in national parliaments around the world are held by women, undermining opportunities for improved, inclusive governance. For example, a study in India showed that increased women’s political participation led to improved services and less corruption.
Sexual and reproductive health problems impose huge costs and burdens on individuals, families, societies, public budgets, productivity and economies. Maternal mortality and morbidity leads to reduced labor supply and lost wages. In Sub-Saharan Africa alone, families spend USD$200 million a year out of their own pockets to treat complications from unsafe abortion, with losses to societies as a whole on the order of nearly USD$1 billion in foregone income from death and disability.
Good sexual and reproductive health is associated with increased female workforce participation and higher productivity, as well as with smaller, healthier and better educated children and families that are also more resilient to crises, displacement or environmental challenges.
Nearly 1 in 5 girls in developing countries gives birth before the age of 18. Complications related to pregnancy and childbirth are a leading cause of adolescent death in developing countries, taking the lives of 70,000 adolescent girls each year.
Studies from Kenya, Brazil, and India show that delaying adolescent childbearing could have increased economic productivity by $3.4, $3.5, and $7.7 billion dollars, respectively.
Every day, 37,000 girls under 18 are married and 1 out 9 girls in developing countries will be married before their 15th birthday. Child, early and forced marriage is the leading cause of adolescent pregnancy, increases girls’ experiences of gender-based violence, limits their education opportunities and perpetuates poverty.
At least 35% of women worldwide suffer physical/and or sexual violence in their lifetime; up to one-third report their first sexual experience was forced. In some regions, women and girls who experience gender-based violence are 1.5 times as likely to be infected with HIV.
