In this episode, we explore the findings of an IMF Gender Note on the economic impacts of contrasting global demographic trends. Ageing populations in advanced economies face shrinking workforces, while rapidly growing populations in low-income countries contend with education and health disparities. The discussion highlights how advancing gender equality can address these challenges. Discover how increasing female labour force participation can counterbalance workforce declines, and how narrowing gender gaps in education and health can drive human capital and economic growth. We’ll also dive into policy solutions that support work-life balance and human capital development, with actionable, country-specific recommendations. Tune in to learn why gender-responsive policies are essential for managing demographic transitions and fostering sustainable economic growth.
