Abstract
The objective of this research paper is to examine "The impact of gender inequality on Economic Growth in Pakistan". For this purpose, we used time series data for the period from 1980 to 2017. The data collected from World Bank, IMF, State Bank of Pakistan, Economic Survey of Pakistan and Asian Development Bank databases. Gross Domestic Product(GDP) growth was dependent variable while male and female secondary schooling education (FSSE), Life Expectancy at Birth of female (LEF) and Life Expectancy at Birth of male (LEM) and labor force participation rate for ages 15-24, total percentage (LFP%) were independent variables. Johansen's Co-integration technique was applied to identify long-run relationship between variables. Our results show that association exists between GDP growth and male and female education and employment.
