OVERVIEW
The IMF’s Gender Strategy—which was approved in July 2022—lays out how the institution can help its member countries address gender disparities in the context of carrying out its core functions—including through capacity development. In particular, it envisages training to member countries on the macroeconomics of gender gaps. In line with this mandate, the IMF has launched a new course on Gender Inequality and Macroeconomics. This one-week course provides an overview of the linkages between gender inequality and macroeconomic variables, and of the policy measures that could help tackle gender inequality. In this session, participants will get a peek inside this new course which is being offered through the IMF network of regional training centers.
