(Університет «КРОК», 2021) Vinska, Oksana; Tokar, Volodymyr
The article sheds light on female emancipation in EU member-states being the magnet for Ukraine due to their living standards and values. The aim of the article is to analyze the economic activity of women and the dynamics of GDP per capita in EU member states. Gender equality is the integral part of EU internal and external policies being an overwhelming concept embracing many dimensions, including the economic one. The EU concentrates on engaging more femalesin the official labor market with guarantees of equal with males salaries, supporting work-life balance, voluntary and compulsory gender quotas in business and politics, ensuring safety for women at home and workplaces. A wide range of publications tries to persuade that there is a correlation between female economic emancipation and national economic advancement demonstrating that gender equality is only a new method guaranteeing additional profits for corporations and tax revenues for governments. The authors of this research paper apply Spearman coefficient to determine whether there is any correlation between economic growth and economic participation and opportunities for women, namely GDP per capita at current market prices and values of economic gender gap sub-index of EU member-states in 2016-2020. The average growth of GDP per capita in EU member-states equaled 11.6 percent in 2016-2020. Ireland showed the maximum relative increase of 29.1 percent, while Greece, Italy, Spain, and Sweden experienced the decline. The average gender gap in economic participation and opportunity in EU member-states decreased by 0.018 points in 2016-2020. The calculations show that the Spearman correlation coefficient is statistically insignificant. Therefore, economic gender equality by itself is not enough for stimulating economic growth and should be viewed as an indisputable human right and accompanied by fostering gender equality in other spheres, such as education, health care and politics
